The Considine debate does the rounds on here every few months, and has done for the best part of a decade on these forums all in.
He goes through phases when he's fine, and he goes through periods...
Every one of the new signings did well. Ojo is clearly an important acquisition. However, for me, Jon Gallagher was the stand out. Absolutely outstanding work ethic, clever touches, quick, ball...
I get that we'll have more signings to make, and these could resolve some and hopefully all of the issues with the squad as it sits now.
We are not without talented, creative players in the squad....
The transfer policy baffles me and does not square with the club's stated ambitions.
We are intent on becoming a 'top 100' European club, and the next step is Europa League group stage...
I keep seeing and hearing people say that Wilson is a good footballer. Let's be absolutely clear about this, he is an utter charlatan.
What exactly does he offer? He doesn't hold the ball up, he...
Aberdeen v Hearts games tend to go one of two ways in the many many years I've been watching them. When Aberdeen try to 'match up' to the 'physicality' of Hearts we invariably lose. When we play...
Nailed it in a nutshell. Too many people blinded by the 'he plays for Manchester United' label, or 'he's come from the English Premier League and is on 30k a week' - when I look at players I want to...
As someone else said earlier, we need to sign a 20-goal a season striker, a creative wide player and a defender as a cover. Which of these three is James Wilson? Because based on the past 4 years he...
If there is £1 million still left in the pot - and I know it's not you that's saying there is - then we should not be scrimping on paying for a striker in the 500k bracket. The fact we are suggests...
I'm as frustrated as the next Dons fan at the inactivity of late on the transfer front, but retaining faith that the club and the manager will come good - we do have until the end of the month after...
Just another one on to agree with this very fair assessment.
It looks like we were hanging our hat on McGeough and didn't have any back up plan.
As alluded to above, it's not just the lack of...
Spot on. If we parked the hoofball and played through the midfield a bit more then we'd get the ball to our wingers and creative players and they'd supply Rooney to put the chances away. Instead...
Nailed it.
The problem is both in terms of recruitment and with how the players we have in the squad are then deployed. But that's for another day.
If we're serious about next year, then we need the...
Arnason had a howler on Saturday, but I'd back him to perform for us in the last 5 games ahead of AOC...
With Arnason you have a guy who should have been put front and centre of our team all...
McInnes' tenure should not be compared to previous managers in the job. It should be compared to the standards expected of this club.
To me, we should have finished 2nd in the last few years - we...
Considine as a holding midfielder is about as potty a suggestion as I've ever read on here.
Seen a few comments recently too that we he's a solution at centre back - no, no he's not. He never has...
That's how I would go too.
Yip, he probably hasn't been quite as effective as a goal scoring midfielder as he probably hoped he would be, and he is not the type of player to put the boot in, but some of the criticism he gets...
No idea if there is an issue between Tansey and McInnes or not, but Tansey was extremely lazy in that first half at Ibrox where he failed to track the run for Rangers' second goal and generally...
There are a lot of questions that need answered if this goes through. The most pertinent ones are:
1. When did Derek McInnes first get asked, whether directly by an RFC official or indirectly...
What part of my post did you miss where I conceded that even our 'best' team, in my eyes, has deficiencies?
Maybe you also missed the part where I said I'd move Shinnie to left back basically at...
Greg Stewart has been asked to fulfil a role he's clearly not comfortable fulfilling. Like many of our players.
We have 2 genuine wingers in the squad - GMS and Wright. I don't think they have...
Amazing that a story in the Sun - yes, the Sun - that reports on a Villa scout attending a match and extrapolates from that that they'll bid for our player (despite the fact they seem keen to keep...
I probably wouldn't either, unless we played a proper ball winning, sitting midfielder alongside him. Shinnie, to my mind, is more a box-to-box player, which has its benefits but it does expose...
