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.

Clive Clark, my little hero.  Brave as a lion, kick him and foul him he'd keep getting up and going again.  He used to taunt the full-backs verbally as well as with the ball.  Scored a lot of goals for a real winger, too.
