I'm so chuffed about this. He's a football god in my opinion. He surely must be one of the most skillful players to ever wear the green shirt. It's a shame not everyone is able to see how valuable his contribution is. But I suppose its not supprising. Football attracts some pretty dim people. :nworthy: :scarf:
Talk about OTT.I can only assume you are relatively young to come up with such a ridiculous statement.One of the most
skillful players to ever wear a green shirt? And you are suggest ing others are dim :funny:
Does it ever occur to you to think that, maybe, you are wrong about Mayor?
I wonder what you will be saying, if next season, we recruit a more balanced midfield and Danny scores a few more goals and provides a few more direct assists like he did in his last season at Bury.
Still, you don’t rate RL either so I guess you would blame him for not realising that was needed.
By the way, this ‘vast majority’ that you mentioned were coming around to your opinion are keeping very quiet since he re-signed.
The posts from oldage and ming sum up the situation with Mayor and much of the fanbase, there is definitely a bit of a "Marmite" thing going on and for many of us, even after 2 seasons the Jury is still out but I'm sure we all hope that he can be used to greater effect next season.
There's no denying that DM is one of most skilful players we have had in the last 10 years or so.
On the other hand, if you look at it from a Moneyball perspective, the statistics clearly suggest that he is not that effective in terms of his overall contribution to the team. If you compare his stats with Carey - perhaps the most obvious comparison - it does not look that good for Mayor.
Carey - 4 seasons, 53 assists and 46 goals.
Mayor - 2 seasons, 11 assists and 3 goals.
Although not exactly the same type of player, their role as the play-maker in chief with regards to creativity and making things happen offensively is very similar.
Each player's Argyle career was evenly divided between Leagues 1 and 2, so the comparison is quite valid.
