Don't rate McClean at all, he's just a bog standard hit and run winger who hoofs balls into the box.
No link up play, no vision, no through balls. I like wingers to be easy on the eye. He isn't.

I'm a little confused here Slick. I thought wingers with pace and an ability to cross the ball were what we needed.
Going way back, isn't that what Clive Clark used to be; a very quick winger who could knock the ball into the area and create chances for others; adding a few goals themselves along the way.
Alternatively, you could try to sign a 'Willie Johnston type who sometimes infuriated by trying to beat a defender over and over again and sometimes lost the ball by over complicating things.
In the early sixties when I first supported the Albion, we had a left winger like that by the name of Derek Hogg who, was even worse than Willie, and I quote "had a marked tendency to over-elaborate".
No... give me a fast direct winger who can outpace his marker and lay on chances for others.

Some days I'm top dog, most days I'm just the lamp post.
