Mcmanaman & Wildschut

Personally, if the manager thinks that both would add to or be better than we currently have then I’ll go with his judgement & I don’t care what they’ve done or said before.

My issue with both players is that they only ever produced their best for us in a specialised positions – I suspect that since leaving that they’ve both been played primarily as wingers and that’s why neither have achieved what they’re capable of. Played as part of a flexible & free role front line they’re both good enough (or were)

On top of that, Wildschut blows hot & cold. Did in league 1 & did in the Championship – strangely it was that muppet Joyce that got the best performances out of him in the Championship.
McManaman had a brief purple spell in the top flight relegation season but didn’t do a great deal for us after that as he was either played out of position as an out of out winger by Coyle, or was injured & suspended a lot under Rosler. Even in that purple spell his end product was often found wanting (watch his FA Cup Final performance). His attitude also seemed to stink at times & I’ve heard quite a few stories of his unprofessional attitude towards his fitness & training from people I trust

So i don’t know is the short of it – trust Cook’s judgement but these are 2 players that we possibly know more about their strengths & weaknesses than he may. But yeah, not bothered about the past

Only player I’d look at bringing back, is Lee Evans. I’d test the water with Sheff Utd, definitely.

I’d sign Elder too.

I think we let Waghorn go too easily as well. I think he’d be a good player for Cooks system.

McLean? Nah. Past it. Certainly dont want Mcmamaman or Wildshit back. Good runner, but so was Forrest Hump.

Perv ;)
