Gazza_8 233 Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 A bit disappointed with this one. He never plays well for Scotland against the weaker teams so what chance have we got of him doing well against Celtic and our european matches. I've never thought he was much of a player and I don't know how he played in the EPL. Maybe I'll be proved wrong though but I'm a bit sceptical of this signing. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ascender 352 Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 WS must see something in him and he's worked with him enough to know, so that's good enough for me. He's also a big lad, which is something else I think we've been missing recently and can be a real asset in the SPL.

Frankie 8,552 Posted July 11, 2007 Author Share Posted July 11, 2007 Must admit £2million is a lot for the likes of McCulloch. I'd have thought there were better players for that money out there but as Sebo showed last season, that's not always the case. McCulloch will bring a bit of physical presence to the team and considering the number of times teams battered through us last season (until Weir arrived to help), bringing in him to play up front or in a wider, deeper role isn't that bad an idea. Let's wait until the end of the season before we judge his contribution. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gribz 850 Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 Im happy with this signing and would think he will be a first teamer. If he was a foreigner the transfer fee wouldnt get a mention. He has always done a good job for Scotland when ive watched him and he has held his own no problem in the premiership.

R.B. 0 Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 I think he will be a decent addition to the squad BUT im a bit dissapointed that we have strengthened the left mid position further when we have two adequate players there already and we are struggling for players to play on the right. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ascender 352 Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 What is his best position anyway? I'm confused as I always thought he was LM, but I've seen people say he can play in the centre and up front. Seems to be a threat from set pieces though which is something else we've lacked for years. Now, all we need is someone who can actually take a decent corner kick. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even though the fees in England have gone bonkers, McCulloch seems to be getting a lot of flak from Bears because of who he is. He's been a regular in the Premiership and at International level. He's reaching his peak (in theory), so I think we're just paying the going rate. At least this is a player WS knows, so its more of a low risk deal for us than many we've done in the past. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me and you must've watched different Scotland games cause everytime I see him he's been rotten. He runs about like a headless chicken. I haven't seen him do a single thing that merits appreciation while he's played for Scotland. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the better performers for Scotland imo. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
