No. Runs around, but creates naff all and he scores about 2 goals a season! In the Premiership you need quality and he does not have any.

Yes and is one if the few players we have that another PL team will buy when we get relegated.Originally posted by SuperHoopNik View PostComment

Tries his hardest but no, he shouldn't be starting for any team in the premier league and if you shouldn't be starting you most certainly ain't good enough for this league.Comment

As Ric says - good squad player but not a starter.You should never underestimate the predictability of stupidity.Comment

The boy is mustard. He never stops running, he's an International footballer, his tramp stamps are up there with the very best in the PL. Next question.First game ; QPR 1 Bolton Wanderers 3, Saturday 2nd December 1978.

Really does makes laugh how you much you #### Adel off yet Mackie is your golden child! What does Mackie do that Adel doesn't, and don't say he chases lost causes, we could get a pub team player in to do that. By the way I like Mackie and voted yes.Originally posted by paulmason View PostComment

Definitely yes. Scores important goals (wasn't his fault we capitulated at Man City last season after he had scored what should have been the winner; and the last minute equalizer away to Derby a couple of years ago arguably spring boarded a great season) and contributes to the team in many other ways too. Not a superstar, but definitely PL quality.'Only a Ranger!' cried Gandalf.

Said before he is a championship or bottom 4/5 PL player. If we want to be better than they he isn't good enough, but as we are bottom he is worth appearances.Comment

I think he is good enough for a team in positions 12-17. Not any higher.Comment

I've just blown the dust off my copy of the Karma Sutra, and I'm convinced that with the right girl, Jaime could pull off positions 34-40.
I could when I was his age.

Not for me. Very average player at best, clouded in the minds of many because he runs a lot..... sorry but in the prem you need quality more than effort. Not dissing that as a trait, because a player with both is worth their weight in gold, such as the likes of Rooney top end, but as an option, who would you rather Berbatov or Mackie?
What annoys me more than anything with Mackie is he's almost as greedy as Adel, but with a fraction of the talent to justify the things he tries. Adel can infuriate, but you know on occasions he can pull it off, but what makes Mackie think he can beat 3 or 4 players and it's a better option than a pass......? The fact he normally only beats players by bundling through them, or generally just runs into them losing the ball, or just runs out of play sums him up. He is a grafter no doubt, and his only place should be as an impact sub against tiring defenders where his pace and tenacity can cause mistakes, but never a starter in a million years for me as he has a very poor football brain.Comment

He is OK. Good for a relegation battle - inspirational, leader and committed. Not really a player if you want to challenge top clubs, climb into the top half of the table and go for it.
impact sub or injury stand-in if we were not in the position we are in and we had some proper players.Comment
