Tartan blood Posted December 19, 2022 Share Posted December 19, 2022 Jackie MacNamara: "I've never seen anything like Ben (Doak)" Wasn't Jackie manager at Dundee Utd when Gauld broke through? If he believes he is more extraordinary than Gauld at the same age, then we are onto a winner. Gauld hasn't lived up to the hype, unfortunately, but Doak might. I think having Robertson and Ramsay at Liverpool will help him a lot. I don't think it was wrong of Gauld to go to Portugal, but it must have been a tough transition to begin with.

Well he was definitely not the only one that was guilty of hyperbole at that time. A bit odd to refer to him as a British Great, though. He has also just compared him to Wayne Rooney. Maybe comparing him to a Scot would have made more sense... Though I can't really think of any good recent-ish comparisons. Shaun Maloney maybe?

Because he was hyped up to be the Scottish Messi, he'll appear to have underachieved in some people's eyes. But it's rare for any Scot to go abroad and thrive. He should have been in multiple squads by now. I worry his time has come and gone, especially with this new batch of young attacking talent emerging. Doak seems inevitable at this point, but throw Hepburn and Lowry into the mix, who both have tons of potential as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The United side with Gauld, Souttar, Armstrong, Robertson and GMS played some of the most enjoyable football I can remember watching - the way it all ended summed up why nobody outside the OF have any chance of ever winning the league again in the current format.

Yup. Very frustrating. It reminds me of that great Hibs team that contained Brown, Thomson, Caldwell etc. Or the Hearts team that split the OF with Hartley and Pressley. Completely dismantled before they have a chance to do anything of note. Without some rich benefactor taking over one of them and using them as a play thing, I don't think there is any way that will change.

His tally in the epl in the last 2 seasons has been 7 and 9 so it looks like he should match those numbers this season. I would say matching his epl goal tally and contributing more goals in cup games is a positive improvement? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've been burned many times before, so it's easy to be a bit more cynical. But I think we are guilty of ignoring our successes, too. Roberton and Tierney both had a hell of a lot of hype when they were youngsters. Both have excelled, and then some. Patterson and Hickey are premier league regulars already. Even though Gilmour has had some ups and downs, he's still racked up a lot of appearances in the premier league and internationally by 21. Plenty more to come from him. McTominay goes from villain to hero every week, but is still an undeniable success at a large club. Yes, Doak might end up having the career of Ross Wallace. Or he may end up surpassing Ryan Fraser. It's just so hard to tell. 4 hours ago, scotlad said: It's a shame Lowry can't even get a game off the bench for an average Rangers side at the moment. 😕 He might have to do a Patterson and leave before he's even had a fair crack of the whip.
