Naismith is ace, keeping him his essential, he's Tim Cahill with a Scottish Accent.
Limited ability, but scores, sets up goals, unnerves defence and midfield and is all over the pitch.
He's McCarthy further up the pitch and if he went I would be concerned about where the drive in our team would actually come from.
He's no Messi but his football ability is massively underrated imo.

Barry who was epic last season, was good enough to earn his contract... then turn to cack, get rid or just relegate to teaching the kids how to play.

Can't dribble, has no pace and gives the ball away constantly. But I suppose a few goals makes all the difference.

I would bin McCarthy too if we could get a good price. I think Besic is just as good.

Barry earned a 3 year deal at 33. He played well last season but Messi would be lucky to earn that.

Don't forget that he runs a lot as well, apparently our fans value that over actual creative ability

It does if your 0-0 and he scores.
Mirallas can dribble, has pace, and also gives the ball away, he gets dogs abuse too.
Is Atsu better?

If you have the ball in the DM position and you are facing say Osman or Barkley (not yesterdays, rest of seasons Barkley), you have all the time in the world to pick out the right pass to the right person to launch a counter.
You have the ball in a DM position and Naismith is on the field you have a second before he's on you, won it, trying to start a counter, it may fail, it may not , it may result in a goal, it may not, but its a damn site better than the opposition having it.

Or even footballing ability.

Lets be honest Naismith has played our fans with his buying tickets for the homeless and his die for the team persona. He should be a politician.

In fact actually I probably shouldn't slate him because I suspect he will go on to become an excellent manager.

 

[Ihaters]

Oh and you don't need to beat a player to get the ball past him, you just need to pass and receive again.. which he can, is that any different to getting the ball after running someone?

Why would you bin mccarthy he is a brilliant defensive midfielder?

Naismith give it away making easy 5 yard passes. Mirallas gives it away being a greedy [Poor language removed] trying to beat the whole team.

The problem is that good players can easily pass through a press especially if it comes from one player like when Naismith does it.

You can't seriously think that someones judgement of a player is based on something they say or do outside of football?
Its no wonder your assessment of a players worth is so wild.
Besic over McCarthy.. lol

 

[marty mcfly]

For the money and I think we could use the money to strengthen other areas.

But only if we got the right bid.

 

[nsno-chris]

Good to see the answer to all our problems is more tosh from the spl

 

[orly]

Right,

Thursday night's gone now, let's smash QPR everywhere and essentially move on to next season

 

[Foot Long Hot Dog]

We'll lose a few in the summer.

He'll go out and buy a few Carlos Kickaballs that we've barely heard of - plus Cleverley

We'll start next season playing the same tiki taka we've played this - it won't work.

He'll be sacked just as the leaves drop.

The end.
