Maybe we should have spent 200k on increasing his wages instead of buying Bakayoko.
The main issue with McNulty (ironically) is what Paul Clement hates - poor fitness levels It sounds a cliche as every manager wants his players fit as a fiddle. But Clement in particular demands his players to be at the pinnacle of their fitness. Which isn't surprising given the calibre of player he's used to coaching at the likes of PSG, Real Madrid and Bayern Munich. So when McNulty comes along puffing after 60 minutes at the end of pre-season with his beer belly firmly still intact it's not surprising he's not getting game time as he may struggle to keep up with the pace of the Championship. It really does puzzle me why a Championship manager took a chance on him because although he's a fantastic player his fitness levels are appalling.
He may prove me wrong but in a year with us his fitness was often brought into question - and I wouldn't want to take anything away from his fantastic but the fact of the matter is you can get away with poor fitness far more in League Two than you can in the Championsip if you have the quality to make up for it....
An extra 4,000 a week still wouldn't have matched what he is on at Reading.
FFS get over McNulty he has gone, he is just an ex player and won’t be coming back on loan.
And as for one of the best we have seen,well you haven’t seen many then.
I see where you’re coming from but McNulty’s fitness definitely improved whilst he was with us and there was no way he was as unfit as you’re suggesting. If he was that unfit he wouldn’t of been able to have the movement he offered on and off the ball.
If what you say about Clement is right, then the man’s a fool. He has a professional scouting team that should have probably checked out the player over a period of time, rather than just Sky+ ing our Play Off Games.
Expecting to have that elite level of athetlticism from a League 2 striker that can’t get in the Scotland team is the equivalent of pitching up at a Peugeot garage and expecting to get a car that can do 0-60 in 2 seconds flat. Laughable.
Whoops if that’s right I take that bit back.Think the "one of the best we have seen" was about Dublin.
He isn't coming back. Santa isn't real
I would drive and pick Robbie Keane up from anywhere he wanted ...that boy scores goals !!!The way things are I would give Robbie Keane a shout
Brilliant player. One of the best, if not the best, I have seen in the Sky Blue shirt
Thumped 4-1 after taking the leadI see he's in the team for today's game at WBA.
I would have Maddison back too

He had a chance to put Reading 2-0 up, went through on goal and put it wide when he should have scored.Thumped 4-1 after taking the lead
