He will play 30-40. Its the new breed of player, those who complain about being away from family for a couple of days, they live in a fantasy world Are you suggesting they don't miss their family? Or that because they earn 100k a week that they are unable to feel emotional being away from their family and kids for a sustained period?

BucksburnDandy Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 Always disappointing to lose a player. McArthur like so many of his era and the era before never really threatened to get us to a major tournament. Ultimately an international career that will barely be remembered. The concerning thing is the number of players making themselves unavailable in this manager's time in charge. Pretty worrying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tartan Chris Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 Chipped in with a few goals in the qualifiers so need a central midfielder who can do that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KirkieRobRoy Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 Was a superstar in the making, allegedly, when he was a young player but developed to be just OK. As will many of our current promising youngsters. Concern is that some other players may decide to not bother with international football if the feelgood factor doesn't return.

He was a good youngster with the potential to be a good player. McCarthy was always the better talent, even though he was younger than McArthur, but I wouldn't even say that McCarthy was a superstar in the making, either. Both were good youngsters and both have fulfilled their potential. I wish McArthur the best for the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
