jbee647 Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 Incredibly overrated football player. Slightly unfair, a good honest player wholehearted bags of commitment and a great team player, definitely limited skill wise, but the fact he played in the world cup for Australia who have a good pool of talent to choose from proves to me than he has much more to offer than you suggest.

Alan Johnson Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 This is going to become a JKB thing to say. Not really. When he moved to China this place was full of people saying that he was good enough to play for an EPL side. No idea how he's been playing for Dundee United, but the fact that that's where he ended up when he was available on a free suggests that he was overrated by many on here.

2NaFish Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 You guys realise that Gig isn't having a go at Ryan McGowan? He's having a go people who think he's a great player, despite the fact that he's not. These people then replying by either saying "ryan's a great guy" or "stop saying ryan's shite." He's a pretty limited footballer who gives his all, and seems a nice guy. For most on kickback that's enough; see Brad McKay and James Keatings.

Uncle Buck Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 He's really not overrated. Won the Scottish cup with a Hearts team that had the best defence in Scotland, and has played at a World Cup against the likes of Robben, Xavi and Sanchez. Paterson is pretty much a younger version and will get to that level one day. McGowan's a better player but they're both extremely athletic footballers. He hates Hibs too.

Alan Johnson Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 There's plenty very average players in the premiership. Maybe the case, but I didn't see any EPL (or even English Championship sides) moving for him when he was available for free a few months ago. Think people look back on him fondly because he seems like a good bloke and liked to wind up Hibs fans. He's a solid enough right back but doesn't offer anywhere near enough going forward to play at a higher level IMO. ? is there any need for that? There's not really much point in coming on a forum if you're not allowed to critique a player's ability... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cisc0 K1d Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 Decent player and would be an option for our squad next season if we want someone with a bit of experience who can play a number of positions, is always going to put in a shift and is unlikely to let anyone down, given he is playing for Dundee Utd his salary must be affordable for us.
