Ross McCormack

[The Gus Bus]

Could he be our 1mil striker?
Done brilliantly in his first season at Cardiff but now is rumoured to be on his way out with a few clubs interested. Maybe we're one of them...

 

[blue and white army]

He's off to Ipswich. Would welcome him here though, he's Glasgow Celtic through and through

 

[Conkers]

Blimey everyone's off to Ipswich aren't they?
Front runners for Scotland too

 

[Ecosse Exile]

Who gives a f*** if he supports Celtic

And so Celtic through and through that he started his career at Rangers

It's surprising how many deluded people there are on this board.

Agreed, why would top quality Championship player want to drop down to League 1!? People on here need to start being realistic!

 

[SurreySeagulls]

We should have pinched David Villa from under the noses of FC Barcelona. Shame on you Gus

Whilst I agree that the majority of transfer targets posted on here are extremely unrealistic, IF we were to spend £1m on a striker (huge IF I'll admit), surely McCormack is the standard of player we should be aiming at? What sort of strikers SHOULD Gus be looking at with a £1m budget?

It'd make more sense to come into these threads and say "we're not spending £1m on a striker full stop" if that's what you're thinking.

EDIT: It does seem as though McCormack is off to Ipswich, so I guess it's a little pointless discussing this one.

So what sort of player with 1mil would you think about? we are not going to get a striker from league 1 for that sort of money. plus, I didn't say it was going to happen, simply suggested a name into the hat, there have been some more ridiculous names mentioned recently. if you don't agree with this, give sime reasons why instead.

 

[Foolg]

Reasons well....
The fact he was wanted by numerous premiership clubs throughout last season.
The fact he plays reguarly for a championship side, and a good one at that.
The fact that his wages are probably already more than we can afford, let alone after a £1m transfer.
The fact he's going to Ipswich.
The fact he's wanted by a number of other championship clubs.

That enough for you?
Sorry but jesus christ, some people seriously need to get a reality check, this is by no means the worst, just pointless rumour after rumour involving players that we have no hope of signing.

Why is everyone so certain we will sign a 1mil player?

all fair points. it may be a long shot but surely these are the sorts of players we should be looking at. I will say again, it's a long long shot but why not speculate? surely this is what this board is for?

Not just that, but the other reasons above. Its just annoying, that with so many people thinking we're going to get players like Hooper, Sharp, Phillips etc when he finally does come i feel many people will be hugely underwhelmed.
Who do i think it should be? Well i dont think any £1m plus player would come here for starters, why you ask, because in my books no player below this league is worth near that figure apart from MAYBE Le Fondre, so he's the only one in lower leagues. In this league, all the 20+ goal a season players are already playing for the best clubs in this league, Maclean, Mackail Smith, Lambert, Barnard etc.. so why would they jump ship. Finally anyone playing in the championship worth a million pounds is going to be someone who can clearly play at that level, so would be very unlikely to leave, let alone fit into our wage bill.
Luke Varney (not even in Derby's squad on saturday and just turned down return to Crewe), Brett Pittman, Theo Robinson, Le Fondre (fee depending), Tyson (now Southampton deal is seemingly dead), David Mcgoldrick.

 

[seagulls120]

Out of all the players that have been linked with us, I belive this is the one that would NEVER happen

Well written sir...agree with you totally. Sadly it wont stop the ridiculous threads that keep appearing about totally unrealistic strikers !

 

[Worthai Seagull]

We just have to accept that many people here live in 'cloud cuckoo land' !

 

[BensGrandad]

How is speculating about McCormack any more unrealistic than either Simon Cox or Jason Scotland, people seem to think they are possibles.
