Problem is Bruce hates him, and will let one of our biggest signings just see his contract out. The problem is mcormack is a lazy, unfit, overweight w*nker. Nothing to do with Bruce in the slightest. You could tell from day 1 he was here for that final big pay cheque, massive waste of money. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McCormack hit the post I believe 4 times and scored a few goals for us. He was not bad at all, but then he had his mental breakdown and Bruce never forgave him for that.

All 12 games where we won once and he scored once or twice? Glad you reminded me how prolific he was until Bruce turned up and ruined his career. Bruce out.

Dale Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 Bruce does have a habit of falling out with players and isolating them - Bent, Gyan, Melbranque, Ben Arfa. I'm not saying that McCormack didn't have issues, but to accept that it was all one way may be a little bit simple. None of us know the whole story. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

De Laet, Bree, Hogan and soon to be Tuanzebe to his list. Imo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like @Czechlad said, he was absolutely fine for us when he first signed. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Czechlad Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 Thank you. I am not saying McCormack was some god on the pitch before Bruce took over, but Ross was doing alright. We had a brand new team, and there were clear kinks that needed to be worked out. McCormack showed promising signs, but we couldn't see out matches due to us constantly conceding late goals. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was about 2 stone overweight when he arrived and about 3 stone overweight by the time RDM left ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He didn't look interested from day 1 the only reason it didn't stand out so much is because how bad we were under Di matteo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's easy to say that in hindsight but I remember people being encouraged by his performances and his link-up play with Jack in particular. He had loads of chances he failed to convert to my recollection. Then Gategate happened and the rest is history as they say. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was impressed with him when he did play for us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
