Jersey Canary 143 Posted July 16, 2021 With all the midfielders arriving is it me or would it not be a surprise that McLean ends up being sold to Rangers? McLean wasn’t good enough last time in the PL and I would argue he wasn’t stand out in the Championship neither. If a decent offer came in from Rangers if it was me I’d sell. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cambridgeshire canary 6,717 Posted July 16, 2021 A loan would be far more likely than a sale and even then I just don't see it happening, we need him knowing our luck with injuries That and why would we sell the Mayor of Norwich? Now that would be very foolish Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Well b back 3,205 Posted July 16, 2021 (edited) I am sure if they make a ridiculous offer for Kenny we would sell, but the rest of your thread is trolling I guess. If he wasn’t any good in the EPL, guess you think he wouldn’t be very good in the Champions League. If he thought he was moving why would he help get his friend Billy Gilmour to sign for the club ? If only you were Stuart Webber we would be in League 1 Edited July 16, 2021 by Well b back 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HazzaJet 252 Posted July 16, 2021 McLean didn’t cut it in the PL last time round but then he had no PL experience and I don’t think he played a major part in our last promotion either. This time it’s a lot different though. I’m not saying he will cut it, but I certainly think he stands a much better chance of cutting it than before. I think he’s done very well for us this season, and in our last PL season he played in all but one of the fixtures (37), so does now have some PL experience. Like others have already said, why do some fans still underrate him? I don’t think he’s our greatest player, but I certainly think he’s a decent part of our squad 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Alex Moss 2,165 Posted July 17, 2021 He is underrated because his real name isn’t Xavi McMessi. He’s probably our most complete all round midfielder, do like to see him playing a bit more advanced though, and he’s not bad with ball at his head either - ask Man City. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lake district canary 4,531 Posted July 17, 2021 Maclean has grown as a player every season he's been with us. Has occasional lapses in form , but in plenty of matches last season was superb. Would be surprised if he doesn't have another great season for us. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Chelm Canary 404 Posted July 17, 2021 I'm not one to jump to the defense of faltering players but he's shown some real quality in tight spots and building from the back. I've said this before but he will keep or carry the ball longer than i thought was necessary at times but then he'll suddenly pick a pass and it makes sense. He has a certain intelligence when he's on the ball that is important to us. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Canary dwarf 221 Posted July 17, 2021 Kennys like a fine wine or a fine cheese , he just improves with age , he will be good next season , I was never a Kenny fan for the first 2 years he played for us , but he improved and his performances won me around , let's all get behind him otbc.

McLean was integral last season and will be this, end of McLean was too slow in PL, too weak, doesn’t create enough and doesn’t score enough. Apart from that he’s ideal. Don’t get me wrong Kenny gives 100% and does a job in The Championship and would be a squad player at best in PL but due to his age, his love for Rangers I’d let him go if a decent offer come in and get someone in who’s an upgrade in each area.

Michael Starr 519 Posted July 19, 2021 (edited) With the arrival of Gilmour, the Rangers connection, the similar playing positions. I'd fully expect McLean to be mentoring Gilmore this season, plus also have some impact at times on the pitch as he's a decent player. Can't see him leaving tbh Edited July 19, 2021 by Michael Starr 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LondonCanary 12 Posted July 19, 2021 At least your failure to appreciate the mayor is consistent with your failure to appreciate we currently have less midfielders than last season.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AJ 1,219 Posted July 20, 2021 McLean is integral for Farke, he won't be going anywhere yet. I think Scotland would have been stronger at the Euro's had Kenny not been missing, he's hugely rated by the Scotland contingent and rightfully so. Will be good to see him making a comeback soon Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
keelansgrandad 6,679 Posted July 20, 2021 For a start, we are likely to have a different setup and attitude to two seasons ago. And he showed last season his worth to this club. And we will need a decent amount of midfield players this season who have played in the Prem against the De Bruyne's etc. Why sell him and have to find someone better?
