    It's a gamble for us though. Why not just pay the little bit of money and sign him permanently? What if he has a stormer for the next 6 months and the same thing happens to us as has just happened to Kilmarnock. Another English Championship side might move in for him, or Rangers or Celtic will match his Championship wages and he'll go there instead.

    How do you know the sums involved ?

    (clue- you don't, nor do I or any of the other fans)

    And how do you know that Stewart himself is wanting to commit to a permanent deal with us ? He might well be , but maybe he's using this loan to put himself in the shop window and keepin his options open for a move to a bigger/wealthier club than us

    Why bother ...at the end of the season we could be in the exact same position as the last?

    I thought one thing that just about all Dons fans were agreed on , was that we were desperately lacking some attacking flair and creativity ....or a Number 10 to use the current terminology.

    Getting Stewart in for the rest of the season is at the very least a decent chance of being a short-term solution to that problem available within our budget

    Stewart should be like a new signing. A good bit of business. Will McInnes be able to get the best out of him though?
    Reckon GMS will be off now.

    Christie and McGinn played instead of him. What's your point exactly do you not think Mcinness will have been aware how well be had done for Killie played in his correct position ?do you think he would have been happy to go to Pittodrie rather than Rugby Park if he hadn't been given assurances. We have obviously tapped him up !

    My honest opinion is that it is a bit of a meh signing. Stewart didn’t get utilised properly by McInnes the last time so what makes you think he will be different with him this time. Stewart isn’t a bad player at all but McInnes won’t get the best out of him.
