I was hoping this was a job seekers allowance thread

[deedon]

I'm happy with that... :)

[redtaz]

its a difficult one , i remember some good performances but also the dire , he is well known to the management who appear to understand his strengths and weaknesses , i still dont think full back is his natural position but he is good coverage for the back 4 , if we think of the amount of signings we have made defensively and no real tangible improvement then i cant see why this is a poor signing. i thought he had a good game on saturday and hope that this will continue. i recall his commitment in games when others would " hide" he is a steady if uninspiring player

[RedStarTorphins]

I'm "meh" about it.
Decent back up (in an ideal world) as he can play CB & LB....but I'd rather we signed a proper centre mid and had GS at left back.
But I've been saying that for 18 months.
That leaves Jack, Taylor, McGinn & Pawlett.
Not sure if any of the 4 will be here come August - maybe Jack?
Taylor & McGinn will head south and I'm not sure Pawlett will be offered anything

[Sheep On Fire]

Well done Andy, a local loon who always gives 100 percent. Think Jack and Taylor will sign next as I can't see where either would get a better gig. McGinn is 50-50 for me. Pawlett I don't think he will be offered anything and rightly so IMO

[awafaehame]

I am reasonably happy with this.
Yes, he isnt Franco Baresi, or Roberto Carlos, however, he doesn't hide like someone said above. He also doesn't claim to be Baresi or Carlos. I am sure that not only does the management know his limitations, but so does Andy.
A very honest hard working player who is handy to pop up with a goal or two every now and then.

Well done Andy

[macattack]

Aye another signed on happy days still want McGinn to be next fingers crossed :star:

[GGMDONS]

Mcginn & Jack; Please sign on soon

Taylor , their are better central defenders that we could sign

Pawlett has had his day, I would replace him wth Sam Nicholson

There are better defenders than Considine we could sign too so why not give Taylor a contract as well.

He also doesn't claim to be Baresi or Carlos so get him signed up I reckon XD

Where are these better defenders with our budget ?

[rico94]

I would imagine there are better defenders than Considine and Taylor out there that are within our budget or we really are doomed.

Personally I would like to have seen McKenna and Harvie given more of a chance next season but it looks like we are stuck with Consi for a few more years.

O'Connor cost f@ck all and he is better, Logan cost f@ck all and is better, Reynolds cost f@ck all and is better, Shinnie cost f@ck all and is better.Theres 4 without looking far, so surely there must be more

[Mr_Grieves]

Good news, well done Andy.

He's our best left sided centre half and a decent left back.

Reynolds really, O Connor canna get a game and Shinnie is a midfielder and they are all at the club already and none of them are any good in the air

[Pacman1903]

Shinnie is a left back. He is in the same situation as Consequence. He is being played out of position. If Shinnie wasnt a "midfielder" Considine wouldnt get game time

[rico94]

He's our best left sided centre half .

That will be why he keeps getting played at left back.

[Pauldolski10]

Shinnie is a midfielder, he wants to play midfield, Mcinnes plays him in midfield and he is good and getting better in midfield. Happy we the Considine situation solid player and Mr consistent for us has very few slip ups as of late and still getting judged on how he performed 4-5 years ago when being paired with Ifil, Mawene, Diamond etc even Baresi and God would struggle we them whoppers

[Mr_Grieves]

That will be why he keeps getting played at left back.

How many times did Reynolds lose possession on Saturday ?

Reynolds hasn't been the same since his shoulder injury last season. He's lost the pace he once had and his distribution is sh1te now.

[CarlukeRed69]

McInnes said, at the Black and Gold Q&A, that he signed Shinnie to play in midfield and he'll only ever play at left back as cover.

I don't agree with it but it is what it is.

God knows I never noticed that he lost possession that often on Saturday but I was quite drunk.

To be fair I think Considine has done well in this run we have been on but so has Reynolds and Taylor.We will see how they get on if we get to the semi final and final though.Its the big games that are usually the problem for them,especially Considine.

[Redroy83]

Bump

[rico94]

Why?

[Redroy83]

Thought the 4 new faces thread was turning into a Consi debate.

[rico94]

Ah ok good point.

[Landvetter83]

Appears he's making his 400th appearance this afternoon.

Congratulations Andy - you're one of our own !!

[Jupiter]

400 too many

[donsdaft]

400 mair than me.

Well done loon.

[Pacman1903]

400 mair than me.

Well done loon.
