Personally I do not think he would - but we are never going to know are we? Theres a competition id never want to see! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post dont_do_it_doug. Posted January 22, 2018 Author Popular Post Share Posted January 22, 2018 There's absolutely no chance I would bring him back into the club at this moment in time. Or ever. I don't agree with the assertion that he's not very good, he is very good footballer. But his attitude frankly stinks, he doesn't want to be here and it seems the manager doesn't want him here. Why introduce that kind of spanner into the works now? When asked the other day what his future held his first response was to say that at least he has the security of a 2 and a half year contract here. **** him. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Team spirit seems tremendous at present - I see nothing to be gained in bringing him back either - has a reputation now as something of a bad apple and not worth the risk at this stage of the season 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villaninoz Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 "McCormack conceded that his future at promotion-chasing Villa was all but over under manager Steve Bruce. “If (a City deal can’t be sorted) then I’ll go back to Villa and probably have to look for another loan move as well,’’ he said. “It’s not my decision but I think it’s probably been made clear that I won’t be around the team there which is fine, that’s football, that’s what happens.” Here 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whatever McCormack's issues may be It amazes me that people are so quick to assume it's something that can blow over. Absolutely this. I would look to let him stay in A-League and away from the club until a perminant deal away from this club is sorted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brummybloke Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 Keep him away from championship. Dr x should be trying to off him to some china club or pimp him permanently to usa for cash.

sne Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 In an A-League related story Brisbane Roar just crashed out of the Asian Champions League against Filipino team Ceres Negros after a 2-3 defeat. Not only that, but the numbers on the back of the Brisbane players shirts started to peel off and had to be taped on 38 y.o Massimo Maccarone formerly at Middlesbrough scored for Brisbane. Anyway this doesn't necessarily mean the A-League is a joke, but it's not a great advert either. Keep on keeping on Ross. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dont_do_it_doug. Posted January 23, 2018 Author Share Posted January 23, 2018 You've picked a different quote that doesn't delegitimise the other. I trust they've had the conversation with Ross, several times. For some reason you don't, you think Bruce is rejecting a potentially good player for no valid reason. I don't care about Ross McCormack and nor do I care about bumping up his value if it might in any way disrupt our rise out of the league, which clearly they do. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, the above player wears 22 and after his numbers fell off, they had to use tape to turn a 77 into a 22. There are a couple of well run clubs in the A-League but moments and performances like that do not help its reputation. The present is a very critical time for Australian football.

Why do you automatically assume McCormacks 'side' in the argument? Or do you just believe everything players say in the media? (remember when Delph said he was staying?) I don't get it Dave, we're not short on goals, we're winning games, feels like nitpicking in the vain hope of finding something to fault Bruce for.
