Not a big fan of him but he can definitely do a job. I don’t think he will ever be good enough to start for a top side but I would not mind keeping him. Good performance yesterday.
When you appreciate the good and maybe accept some of the “less good” he still looks like a really promising young player.I thought Scott was brilliant yesterday. The way he runs with the ball through the centre of the pitch and midfield reminds me a bit of Yaya. He’s very good at carrying the ball, hardly loses it.
That and finishing is his biggest strengths.
Being dispossessed doesn't show up in passing stats though.He had a his passing accuracy in the late 80s. Higher than even Bruno Fernandes', he created 3 Key passes, had the second highest touches of all our midfielders yet some still want to convince us he was super sloppy on the ball.......its incredible
He was dispossessed 7 times. Next highest was Rashford... with 3. So yeah, sloppy is the right word.
Interesting the double standards seen on here.Being dispossessed doesn't show up in passing stats though.
Dani Ceballos gets semi regular game time for Madrid and he was awful in the Premier League.If we want to become the best then we need to have higher standards than this guy. He's always capable of putting in a good shift like yesterday but overall he'll never be good enough. Could you imagine Real Madrid persisting with this guy in midfield for so many years?
Are you sure it's the same people though? I've never posted about Guimarães.Interesting the double standards seen on here.
Bruno G for Newcastle was being lauded with having an outstanding display against us the other week, despite being dispossessed 4 times, having less key passes than McT yesterday, only one more pass completed, having less touches than McT yesterday, and no goal to show for it.

Screw that. If he was at Newcastle they’d be asking for 50 mil.If we received an offer >20 Mio, I really do not see any reason to keep him. He may be a decent squad player for a team of our level at the best

Yeah but it's this kind of thinking that led to us keeping Lingard and then losing him for nothing (not exactly the same situation I guess, as I don't believe McTominay only has a year left on his contract.)Screw that. If he was at Newcastle they’d be asking for 50 mil.
Yeah but it could go in the pot to buy an expensive striker or midfielder.20 mil is peanuts in today's market.
For that kind of money we better keep him as a squad player.

You can count the amount of decent games he has had this season on one hand. He is our most sellable asset and we can definitely improve on him. Cash in and sign some better midfielders
exactly. And yet people keep talking about keeping him while somehow claiming the one position he can be backup for in the midfield is prob his worst.You can count the amount of decent games he has had this season on one hand.

Injured again. Thank feck Casemiro’s back.
It’s weird how a crap player becomes great when not playing.Missed him last night.
Missed him last night.
I can't agree, I don't think we would have won but possibly we might not have been so bad.Yeah we would have surely won with him in the team.
With the exception of Bruno, virtually all of our football ability was involved at some point.No, we needed football ability last night and Scott, at this level, hasn't got it.

Despite the view that he is "crap", he isn't really.
We needed some physicality last night and Scott has provided that in previous European games.
