Mark McGuinness

[Jonezy17]

I think it’s vital we tie him down to a new contract and try and build a team around him! If not I think he will be with a few quid in the next few years so he must be one of our most valuable assets?

Re: Mark McGuinness

Fancy him for top scorer if we can deliver a cross this season.

Re: Mark McGuinness

He looks decent enough, the spell at Wednesday seems to have matured him. He's one of those players whose presence could end up being very influencial in the side, even when he's not playing well, a bit like Mozzer was for us. But when I read 'Build a team' around a stone cold central Defender, then I have to sit down and whack myself across the head with a short piece of roofing batten. Although I get what the OP is saying.

Re: Mark McGuinness

He worries me defending,seems to go to sleep and loses his position and defenders.Plus he got a awful back pass to the keeper in him.
But he will grab a few goals tho.

Make him part of the backbone might be more apt.

He still had a lot to learn, needs to be more dominating. He’s still young thought and I’m going for a big season from him.

Re: Mark McGuinness

Definitely need him to sign a new deal. Otherwise we have to consider selling.

Re: Mark McGuinness

Mad that McGuiness is somehow being seen as the new messiah.
Watched him away at Norwich and his pass completion rate was about 20%

He's heavy on his feet in my opinion, that wont change, just the way his body is. So needs to get himself in decent positions, both body and positionally to counter that. Or put someone in front of him with better feet and movement. I think he's ok, no morethan that.

Re: Mark McGuinness

The modern trend on contracts is for the club to have 1 or 2 year options to extend. I wonder if that is the case with McGuinness

Bang on. He often marks no-one at all when we are under pressure.

You should post more. You give us fans a much deeper view. We don't know. Speaking for myself, who's been watching football for almost 50 years and played as center forward, I basically did **** all except make runs and expect passes. Your insight to players is fascinating.
