Neil McCann

[Turkey]

Saints have today released winger Neil McCann by mutual consent.
The Scottish international has asked to have his contract terminated and the club have reluctantly agreed.

There is no word on what he plans to do now or whether there is any other club waiting in the wings.
It is thought the 31-year-old has grown frustrated at the lack of first-team opportunities on the south coast and now plans to kickstart his career elsewhere.

McCann was signed by Gordon Strachan for £1.5m in August 2003 but has struggled to hold down a regular starting slot.
His time here has been dogged by niggling injuries and he missed Saturday's FA Cup victory over MK Dons with a virus and an ankle problem.

Wouldn't want us to sign a crock but worth a look surely.

a. We don't need a winger
b. "His time here has been dogged by niggling injuries and he missed Saturday's FA Cup victory over MK Dons with a virus and an ankle problem."
c. What happened last time we got a released player from them.

Neil McCann't.

 

[Silent Bob]

He's a left winger isn't he?

Frutos will do for me.

 

[turienzo's lovechild]

he was once dubbed the "scottish emile heskey"

he never lived up to the name


says it all really

 

[BensGrandad]

Who have Southampton got on the wings keeping him out that is better than what we have in Carole and Frutos.

Nobody so leave him at St Marys.

But if he's a free agent, we have got to sign him

 

[HampshireSeagulls]

No. f***ing no. Another ex-Southampton practice target for the physio. Don't need him, don't want him. Let him f*** off to Bashley or something, but we don't want him anywhere near our payroll.

 

[Tony Meolas Loan Spell]

But if he's a free agent, we have got to sign him

Why?

Like our GLUT of strikers we will end up with a GLUT of wingers, Jarrett, Carole, Fruity, Hart etc etc.

Christ even Mayo played left midfield many moons ago
