swfc-dan Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 8 hours ago, domSWFC said: Great midfielder. Top half championship level for sure. Just seems as though he's got an attitude or commitment problem that stops him being a long term good player. Always seems to show his quality when he's got a point to prove but once it's proved be disappears again. Wish him all the best, and hope he can get his career on track again. Agree with that to some extent, but I don't really think he was given a proper chance last season. He had to go, can't be playing someone as much as he's on with such a minor part. Hope he gets regular footy now, and hopefully this means we're getting better in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ellis Rimmer Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 Dug his own grave when he told Carvalhal he couldn't play that no10 role. Good for us though because we signed Forestieri on the back of that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oh_weds_we_love_you Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 Good player, just doesn't fit into the style of play Carlos wants to play here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest wilyfox Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 Carlos says it's not an issue of quality or attitude, so maybe it's physical. Perhaps Lewis simply can't play with the same intensity as Lee and Bannan for 90mins. Different physique; maybe he's not built for it, or possibly doesn't have the stamina.

coopswfc76 Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 Be amazed if we get a fee but happy enough to clear the wages which will help us bring a left back in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prowl Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 Good luck to him. He was a bit special when we first had him . A light when we were in a pretty dire spot. I'm sorry it didn't work out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elyowl1 Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 Can be a great player on his day , I would suspect we have some one lined up to replace him with the qualities we require for our squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SallyCinnamon Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 Good player, he doesn't do much wrong when he plays to be honest. But doesn't have the same energy Lee or Bannan has and therefore doesn't fit into the way we play. Also the fact he couldn't get into both Watford and our side at this level must tell you something.

Pretty sure you're across this anyway but, possibly told that he is free to find another club which means he can seek a transfer, discuss personal terms then any interested clubs would need to talk to Wednesday and negotiate a fee.

Jim Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 (edited) We don't score enough goals from midfield so to possibly move McGugan on when you consider his goal to game ratio was with the exception of Hooper and Forrestieri as good as anyone in the squad last season is a debatable call IMO? That said if he's not going to figure in Carlos' plans this season then a move is probably best for both parties but it's a shame as I could see him going elsewhere in the championship and banging in 10-15 goals in the coming campaign.

themaskedowl Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 (edited) 1 hour ago, areNOTwhatTHEYseem said: The fact that I'm so indifferent towards McGugan's imminent departure tells me everything I need to know about how far our style of football has progressed in the past 12 months. I was desperate for us to sign him last summer (I don't know if I've mentioned this before... but I actually suggested signing him two years ago, before his initial loan move ), and I thought he'd be one of our key players last season. However, he just hasn't been able to adapt his style to fit in with Carlos' philosophy, so it's time for him to go. We're playing the best football a Wednesday team has played in a generation, and the fact that a player as gifted as Lewis McGugan can't get a game should be cause for celebration. In the past, he'd have been our stand-out player; now we have a stand-out team instead. Spot on. Pretty much mirrors my feelings exactly (apart from the bit about suggesting him before the loan) Edited July 25, 2016 by themaskedowl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Likely midfield is full of goals. This is what they scored last season:- Wallace 6 Lee 7 Bannan 3 FF 6 (from 9 matches in midfield) Dont imagine many teams had such high scoring midfields.

victorturner Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 What is worrying is that CC does not see that our midfield does not score enough goals while Lewis could do so. Our style's weakness was revealed in our matches vs top teams last season; we play our best football on the halfway line but it fades as we move forward with FF rescuing us from drought of goals. Even Huddersfield away last season when we were at our peak form, it was true. A brilliant goal from FF won the match which otherwise would have been a midfield stalemate 0-0. Tikka takka seems to be CC's preference but even Spain began to look toothless after a while playing that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
