Pretty good and improved I agree with.
Pretty good and improved I agree with.Hmm, think he was pretty good straight away, no?
Financial revelation emerges on Blackburn Rovers and Coventry City transfer agreement for Dom Hyam
The defender joined for a bigger fee than reported.footballleagueworld.co.uk
Think we are looking at McNally through sky blue tinted glasses.
He was good yea,but not that good when he first came.
Plenty of mistakes in him at the start. We improved him and he was becoming a good prospect by the end of the season.He has a lot of improving to do.
Personally I think Burnley paid too much for him.
Was it £1.8m then £700k in add ons?It was a one off payment of around £1.8 million
They paid 2 and he now has half a season championship experience.
They are in financial trouble..reckon we could get him back with a cheeky £3M bid. We would save on our sell on feeWas it £1.8m then £700k in add ons?

And now has 6 months experience of the championship. I get it you don't rate him that highly. Many fans will disagreeThey paid £1.6 and he couldn’t get in the team. Come on release your inner Doug negotiator.
I didn't say he was only worth £5m, I said up until the last 6 months of the season he would have only attracted a fee of ~£5m but his performances in the last few months have elevated his value much higher..
If you reckon we'd only get £5M we'd be better off giving him that in wages over a long contract.
The stats will show he completed a pass but as @Esoterica pointed out it was often behind the player receiving it which often broke any momentum we hadI know this is the Hamer thread so don't wait to derail it much , but Hyam is a far superior passer of the ball to McNally. It's not even close and the stats show it.
This nonsense about Hyam having poor distribution is an absolute myth, he's one of the best in the league (and McNally is actually one of the worst).
But I love McNally and really hope we can get him back.

I know watching matches is alien to youI'm sorry but that's just anecdotal nonsense.
Statistically he is one of the best passing centre backs in the division, that's just a fact.
Using our eyes is generally a better guide than pointless statsI'm sorry but that's just anecdotal nonsense.

Passing along the back line to a team mate would be successful....I've watched as many matches as anyone in the last 5 years but OK.
He completed over 2000 passes last season with a success rate of 90%. But yeah I bet a good 1500 of those were behind the man. Absolute fucking rubbish

No we just do the old fashioned thing of using our eyes and making our own minds up. Try it sometimeSaying 'he often plays the ball behind is man' is utterly subjective.
Actual statistics are factual.
Of course this forum would disagree with stone cold facts. Of course.

I'm sure Billy Bean would agreeUsing our eyes is generally a better guide than pointless stats
Do you actually watch matches or sit there creaming yourself over stats instead? I know from actually watching him that he isnt the Paolo Maldini you make him out to be and no amount of stats will change my mind.Well he ranks top 10% for forward passes and top 5% for accurate long passes.
Try again.

I am aware yes. I am also aware that scouts actually watch players in person and don't just buy from a database like you wouldYou are aware that every single professional club in the world uses stats as a huge part of recruitment, right?
And that many clubs have dedicated stats/data departments?

I appreciate this in most circumstance but it's our fans eyes that lead to Ben Sheaf close to being our boo boy.
It's only when people opened their eyes to the statistics that they realised just how important he is.
He doesn't go to games no unless we actually achieve success and the bandwagon rolls
thats betterPiss off, not true.
I was a season ticket holder for years, don't go anymore
I'm an absolute tosser.
