Thread: Derek McInnes

  1. #2511
    Just joined - living abroad now so good to be able to keep up with the Dons chat. Not buying the negativity with McInnes - not sure what folk expect really. We should be benchmarking ourselves against Hearts and Hibs and we've finished above them every year for the past four. Anyone who thinks we can sustainably challenge Celtic, or Sevco who are back to spending money they don't have, is having a laugh. With our average gate compared to them we are always going to be behind in player quality. I remember the days of McGhee etc when we were finishing bottom half of the league - don't fancy a return to that. That said, Celtic have been p*sh this year and I can't help but feel a bit of investment could make it interesting.

    Your last sentence is entirely correct. We are only 3 pts off the top so with a wee bit of investment...who knows? Over to you Mr Milne...

    Probably think why give him money he will spend it on more duds like forrester and attempt to spend it on others like Tansley

    McInnes could have Messi, Ronaldo and Modric playing for us but against Celtic he would have them man marking Brown, Boyata and Lustig.

    Yip more duds like Lewis/Shinnie/GMS/Mclean.
    So Deek needs to get a 100% hit rate with every player he gets in then aye? Fair enough. Keeping it real eh

    I wouldn't bother trying to engage with him. I gave up a long time ago.

    Cheers. Just think the McInnes bashing’s a touch unfair. Also, he seems to be giving the kids more of a chance these days, which should be our bread and butter. Nae saying he’s perfect, but could do much much worse.

    Yes they were all risky signings were they Lewis had been English squad member, shinnie established cup winner, gms already proven up here same with McLean.

    What about his wylde, forrester, gleeson, maynards, Parker, Tate the list could go on all garabage from England.
