I'd pay very good money to watch the ensuing meltdown among the millwall fan base should McLean sign for them.
It would be hilarious.

they should have Ince as well, recreate Rowett's barnstorming front 3....

McClean clearly won't be signing for Millwall.
Such a shame though ... I'd love it if he did.

You know exactly what the issue is with McClean. He's out of the manager's plans and the club are desperately trying to get him out of the door. Another pointless thread. We can always start talking about our favourite jam or something, like most threads recently 🤣

Surprised Rowett hasn't been in for him as McClean seemed to be one of the players he really wanted to bring in! True, he always used to speak of “Macca” with great enthusiasm.

What club is going to go near him. He's toxic for any club he'll play for. But our hierarchy sanctioned a £6m transfer for him.. The scary thing is I don’t think he’s even in our top ten worst multi-million pound signings of the last five years. Berahino Imbula Wimmer Bauer N’diaye Vokes Etebo Woods Ince Afobe All contributed less. In hindsight I think the big error was offering him a four year contract. If it had been three it would have been: Mediocre first season, good second season, mediocre third season, released. As it is we’re stuck with an aging and expensive player who loves controversy and has no part in the manager’s plans stinking up the place for another year. Wow! There must be £100m wasted there. From memory you can chuck Palacious in with that lot and a few others, so it's more like £120m.

Cilla - one of the funniest poster monikers ever! Had a play on the pitch at the Britannia a good few years ago now & a load of oatcakers formed ourselves into 2x teams & played a match against each other. We all had our oatcake names on our backs & also displayed in lights on the video screen..! Suffice to say sadly 'Cilla' was the only one who couldn't display his complete username!! Would of been so funny if he had tho!

There'd definitely be points deductions for something or other after his home debut.
Even if Rowett wanted him, I don't think the club would allow it on safety grounds.

That's before you count the fee and wages for Jese, Steve sidwell, chupo moting, John guidetti, cuco Martina and Ashley Williams. I mean when you add up the loans and the wages of all them as well as the fees it gets a bit eye watering 😭

It would be brilliant.
And for that reason it won’t happen.
No one at Millwall at an exec level could allow it surely.

problem is Benji, we don`t want them and neither does anyone else. We as in who? He could have left plenty of times. Lots of clubs interested. Which clubs? I really don't get what he brings to the party for his £20k a week.

Sadly flaps got more wrong than right I think if we went back and ran the numbers. ☹️
That said, couldn't give one where he goes.
Anywhere will do surely?
Beyond terrible mistake by the club, not just GR.

What point ? Do you think he’s conducting some sort of radicalisation exercise with the younger players ? He’s guilty of two things - being a bit of a tit at times and being a very average footballer

Wigan would be about the best we can hope for wouldn’t it? They know what they’re getting with him and should be near the top of the league looking for promotion. JM knows what he’s getting there (does he have good rapport with the fans?) They’ve got money so can hopefully afford 50% wages.
