Return of the Mack - Mackie Official.

[upperloft]

He left because he didn't want to be a squad player, have things changed?

Welcome back Jamie.

LOL... Rates himself then. Didn't fancy fighting for his place. Wish him the best and I want him to play really well... Just can't see it, think we should have left this one alone.

[upperloft]

Yeah because hanging around and poncing off the club we all love when your not getting enough game time like swp and fat boy is so much better . He's such a wrong un that mackie

So didn't fancy fighting for a place then?

[THE CAT]

He loved the club so much he left... Fair play mate.

Exactly, has a lot more affiliation to this club than 90% of the moneygrabbers that have been with us in the Prem years. He only left us because saggy chops didn't want him here as he wasn't a big name.

Obviously not he best skills wise, but if he can get back to the form he showed in our promotion year will be a big asset for us.

[upperloft]

Think he was shoved more than chose to leave. Whilst I wasn't thrilled with the idea of resigning him, after watching his interview I think his enthusiasm for the club and fans is bound to rub off on the others. As said great squad signing.

Time will tell, IMO I wouldn't have signed him. But again, best of luck and all that.

[Guildford_R]

He probably left as realised that redkrapp didn't have a clue and would always play his mates instead of him.

[SammyKojoe]

A player released and not deemed good enough by Forest ( whose fans thought he was tosh ) and who didn't always start for Reading a team who were 19th in the Championship with the following stats in the Championship.

45 League games and 4 goals for Forest
15 League games for Reading and 1 goal.

He also had his little purple patch at QPR then scored once in 15 games.

What a great signing and a real proven Championship player/goalscorer clearly. I will give him his effort and desire but that is all he has. Very little ability and a very poor signing from the club.

Excellent news!! I actually feel like dancing and hugging everyone. Quick, somebody tell me something negative to offset this strange positive trend of mine! Please, I'm not used to this and I'm scared a little.

Depends what he's been told doesn't it ? Let's just say management have told you your not going to get game time ? A)try and earn your place back even though you know your not wanted b)sit on your fat useless #### turning down loan moves/not training etc etc or c) realise the games up , be a proffesional and go play your football elsewhere

Great signing by the chairman.

Cant believe the moaners on here. Would they rather have players at the club like Taarabt and SWP over someone like Mackie who will give 100% all the time. He may not be the best player in the world but he will certainly raise the energy levels of the others. He's hungry for success and loves what he does for a living. Unlike many we've had over the last 4 years. And it's not as if he is going to be our main signing of the summer either.

Gareth Ainsworth wasnt a good player, but gave 100% every game. He's loved by everyone.

Who said they would rather have SWP and Taarabt over Mackie?

[stationcafe]

Hmm seems like a bit of a sideways/backwards step tbh, Mackie is limited and is only going to get worse from hereon.

However we need to build a squad for next season and hopefully he can chip in. Hope he's on low, incentive-based wages though.

[Harryboy]

If you get the chance to see the official video at qpr, Mackie has a lovely qpr training top on I hope that's in the club shop soon

If I played for Rangers, and I loved them blah, blah, blah. Wouldn't give a toss what Redknapp had to say, I would be fighting for my place. As he is so determined and hard working, a 100% kind of guy it seemed he give up the ghost a bit quickly.
