Aaron McLean

That bag of cement that he tried to trap is still there by the front of midland rd stand I believe...

 

lol. Was it Harry Redknapp who once said Emile Heskey was the only player he'd seen who could trap a ball 10 yds

 

There's several column inches for Simon Parker over the next few days!

 

Fancy doing a podcast and spelling the guest’s name wrong.

 

I think Ron Atkinson beat him to that one when he said 'Carlton Palmer can trap a ball further than I can kick it'.

 

Surely there has to be another side to this story?

Apart from him not being able to control a football or score any goals I can't think of any other reason for him to be dropped and shipped out of the club. Can you?

 

Just switched on sky sports this evening and there commentating on sheff utd v man u is mr mclean himself.

When i first saw him i thought he looks familiar, who did he play for?
Needed help to find out who it was.

 

" He's One Of Our Own"

One of a very large number of False Number Nine's that City love to sign.
Played up-front as a target man.
McLean is approx 5 feet 2.
Never going to work.

 

If you look up “false number nine “ in the dictionary there is a picture of Guthrie.

 

If you look up "massive number two" the picture's the same

 

He came across well to be fair. Players sometimes just don't fit in and whilst we'll always back PP because of what he achieved and slate AM for his perceived failure I honestly don't think he said anything wrong in the interview.

In fact, I thought he was very respectful and sounded like a decent, well rounded bloke.

 

Totally agree even though he did not get on with Parky the difference between his comments about Parky and the Steve Davies interview was chalk and cheese, to his credit not one foul mouthed comment where as with Davies it was every other word.
Most City fans including myself never took Aaron to heart he got some terrible stick, apart from that night at Morecambe but hearing his comments with regards how Parky wanted from him to play maybe he should have realised that was Parky's way and had brought Bradford City so much short term success, why would Parky ban him from training and ultimately want him out as that must have cost the club a small fortune to settle his outstanding contract.

 

He's been covering National league for a while on BT.

 

Must have come top then and got promoted
