Hope he's better than his dad, Mark. Fuck me he was gash. Please tell me he isn't 🤦🏼♂️😂 mentioned on another thread as our worst ever signing 😂😂😂 No mate, at least I don't think so. Mark was certainly up there with the likes of John Clark and Gordon Marshall from that era.

What about this Grapey? 'He has the weirdest running style like a stiff baby giraffe...' Remind you of another centre back we had?

He's certainly not the experienced man mountain I was hoping for. Are you describing Aidan Flint? 😂 if he’s good enough he’s old enough. Sounds like he was excellent last season

www.stokesentinel.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/stoke-city-transfer-luke-mcnally-8641916Luke McNally has seemed like a well-suited transfer candidate for Stoke City for a while, mentioned on these pages as a good fit last summer while he was still at Oxford United and again in January while on the sidelines at Burnley. McNally is powerful and aggressive, seeming like a good partner for either Wilmot or Rose - and decent enough on the deck. "Luke is a very talented footballer, who is strong defensively," said Coventry manager Mark Robins. "He’s big and athletic, and strong in the air." If there is anything in this, we have to go all out for this guy. I've been a big fan of McNally since his Oxford days, and wanted him in when he was linked to us last summer. I was gutted he went to Coventry, and he's shown there what an excellent centre-back he is. As mentioned already - brilliant in the air, authoritative on the ground, excellent tackler and doesn't lose possession a great deal. Considering he has played as part of a back three, he wins the ball back fairly consistently. Not sure if Burnley will let him go yet, as they will surely see him as somebody who can either be sold for a profit with a full season of Champo football or if he achieves promotion with a team. Either way, I really hope we can get him.

I wasn't convinced by him at all when we played Coventry. Thought he was weak, gifted possession away quite easily a number of times and looked vulnerable on his inside.
Could have been an off day of course, and the stats would paint a more accurate picture.

The amount of people on here judging entire careers of players based on one game crazy game is ridiculous.
Like we never got tonked 4, 5, 6, 7!-0 with Shawcross, Huth, Higgy, etc.

It was a very good performance by us and a very bad day at the office for them so it'd be unfair to judge any of them fairly based on that one game.

SRF - just to clarify, I was backing up your point, not criticising it. My bad if it came across that way.

Didn’t McNally mean the end of Rose at Coventry last season?I bet he’s over the moon😊

Well so far the boss is sticking to his word .
He promised a CH in before the first game and looks like he has delivered.
Mind you the words " McNally " and " Burnley " do tend to result in nasty flashbacks!

Hope he's packed his sandwiches because the medical lasts a week now and includes 90minutes at Colchester.

The two names, Burnley and McNally mentioned together, used to get me very angry.

I happen to know a member of staff at his current and former (permanent) clubs and they’ve both been banging on about his potential since the transfer between the two.
I would be very happy with this deal.

Things do seem to be looking up.
Another 2-3 signings of this quality, and could get interesting
