If we had to keep 1 who would it be Francis or McCormack?

My View is keep Francis, although he can't defend he can cross a ball every now and then which is a bonus! McCormack the less said the Better!

    Francis - we have enough midfielders, but are still light on defenders.

    Whats the forfeit if I say neither? Think i'd risk it.

    Agreed.

    No brainer really.

    Have either gone out to Spain?
  • No both stayed here.....as it stands McCormack is the one looking most likely to stay unfortenately... Francis has agreed terms with AFCB.

    Not the case. McOxo confirmed on twitter he has been told to find another club. Talking to DandR and a couple of others.

    Francis by a mile, showed signs last season there is a good player there and will thrive elsewhere imho. Has weaknesses but will be an asset for Bournemouth

    McCormack is one of the most limited players I have seen and the fact he bottles so many challenges when supposidly a "tough tackling midfielder" sums it up for me.

    Francis can cross, McCormack just makes me cross.  No contest.

    McFrancis
  • My Personal Opinion is that Francis may be more suited to a Right Midfield Role as he honestly cant defend! His seems a good guy no matter what anyone says about him (myself included) he does try every game. Its his defending ability that let him down as he is supossedly a defender!

    McCormack - with his experience he'll make  a better job of serving the oranges to Los Galacticos at half time..

    Is there even a debate? Francis is shit - useless, but he's Xavi compared to McOxo, the 2 bob c***

    I'm going to say McCormack, as he has less chance of playing given the amount of midfielders we have, and therefore he may as well not be here

    Francis.  Poor player but could possibly be coached positionally.

    Tactical thinking - I like it !!

    Francis for me, I wonder what sort of reception they'd both get if they returned to the Valley with new teams. For me, as stated elsewhere, I think Francis was a limited player who tried. It's not his fault that he isn't up to the standards Chrissy's trying to reach with the new squad. He's good enough for this league, but we need to be better than that to get out. McCormack on the other hand was a shocking player, who didn't seem to try (bottling challenges etc) but on top of that he didn't care about the club, the fans or his manager.

    Francis would be a very decent cover at right-back, and despite me moaning as much as anyone, I think he is still a ood squad player. Although it seems as if he's set to join Bournemouth now.

    Francis is taller, therefore Francis.

    Also he's never been out to dinner after a defeat (to the best of my knowledge)

    We've not seen the best of either of them. Neither are suited to us, can't seem to handle the pressure. Couldn't see either of them in a good footballing side either which is what we are hoping to become.

    Move to a smaller club, take that pressure away, get their confidence back and they'll do a job for someone in this league or the one below. They've both done it before. I really doubt there's a huge gap when it comes to ability between them and I'm not convinced McCormack wasn't trying. He was clearly scared of making mistakes though and that can make any player look awful.

    Francis.

    Not ovely endowed with ability maybe but he doesn't hide and gives his best which is all you can really ask as a fan.

    se9 asks what sort of reception they'd get if they returned with another club - personally, I wouldn't boo... I would treat them as if they were just another opposition player. They're not Charlton legends (by a long chalk), but they're also not Jimmy Floyd Piggybank!

    oh but they would get booed and heaps of vitriol and scorn will pile down on them.  Lovely fans that we are.

    Lisbie lisbie you're a £unt... was one of my most favourites of latter years. sigh.

    This has to be the toughest decision since daddy or chips.

    I'll go with McCormack so that he can rot in the stands.
