He’s in the team to be the target man. Which is all kinds of amusing. Target man? Elucidate, am I missing a point here? Yes. We aim about half of the long balls we play to him. He’s there to win headers.

Forget the politics and his beliefs, he's just utter garbage. Ince on the left and Diouf on the right next week if we haven't signed someone else.

I will watch for that on Wednesday, not that I doubt you, I just thought that he had been brought in to run the wing and bomb in crosses, which is not what is happening because he basically is , well, just shit.

So far he has failed to meet my very, very low expectations.
He really has been awful with and without the ball.

Absolute dross. Can't attack, can't beat a man, can't cross the ball.
Ince did more in 10 minutes than McLean has done in 3 games

Because he now plays for Stoke City I’ve tried to like him, I really have. I couldn’t give a stuff about his political leanings either. But hard as I try all I can see is an absolutely useless footballer. From what I’ve seen so far, he really is hopeless.

We improved beyond recognition when he was removed from the pitch. For a winger who supposedly gets selected because of his defensive work he has been responsible for 2 of our 3 conceded goals in the last two matches.

Early days, not match fit yet. Shows how poor the squad is that he’s had to be brought in straight away. He will get better, much to the disappointment of some.

Shocking player. Lost count the amount of times he passed to the opposition. Need to get another winger in desperado.

He's a winger who doesn't score many and doesn't set many up.
Pointless signing and a waste of 6m.

It is easy to say he is bothered because he sometimes seems to be charging around in pursuit of the ball or some one he is supposed to be covering, but if he really was bothered he would try to pass the ball to someone on his own team, or to control the football or to actually stay with the opposition player who just breezes past him while he appears to be in a trance. McClean does want to be here (the money is good) but I'm not sure he is that bothered to do his job properly

Bad business this from Rowett buying McClean, I can’t understand why he’s chased him for a so long. No trickery, can’t beat his man, the odd ok cross. Ran off down the tunnel and didn’t come over with the rest of the team at the end, first class prick he is. No matter how bad you play, acknowledging the fans for there support is part of the job.

He was bollocks again today. Diouf was loads better. The Oracke of nonsense strikes again. Diouf was a waste of space again, as he has been for the last 2 years

Its looking good for team spirit and bonding isn't it? He's useless. He's my boo boy.

Diouf was a waste of space again, as he has been for the last 2 years I think a wing pairing of Ince and Mame offers more than the setup we began the game with. Mame might not be the greatest of players but we are looking for our strongest team and at the moment he is a part of it.

Struggling to see what he actually does or is. You might get away with him as a wide midfielder on the left of a 4 or possibly even as a wing back but, Christ on a goat, not as a left winger in a front 3 who you rely on for creating chances.
I’ve never been keen on him before and his performances so far are hardly proving me (well, most of us) wrong.

At his peak he was only ever average. Now he’s below average and a complete waste of time and money.
