We are crying out for someone with creativity, but can't play someone that doesn't currently exist, but it so badly needs to be fixed in January.
    It’s an interesting one,last season we had McLean and Christie who played as attacking midfielders.

    If you go by the comments on here Christie was sh1te for his last 6 months here and McLean was apparently never good enough yet we still finished 2nd.

    I also think it’s a bit over the top hoping Scott Wright is the answer for that position because he had a good game against St Mirren.He scored a hatrick against Partick then done phuck all after that,plus he is made of plasticine.

    A huge part of why we finished second last season was Christie was very good in first half of season and when his form disappeared it coincided with McLean having probably his best spell in an Aberdeen shirt. Whether people want to admit it or not, we badly miss both players.

    As for Wright, he always flattered to deceive playing wide but in the game and a bit (he was also good when he came on against Dundee) playing the "10" role he has looked much better. I agree it's too early to be sure especially given how poor St Mirren were that day but let's hope McInnes gives him a run in that position as there is only one way to find out if he is good enough. I do worry about your plasticine comment though.

    It was actually rst who said he was made of plasticine I was just repeating what he said.

    You may have misinterpreted my comment as I was agreeing with you that I am worried he is very injury prone. He needs a good run in the team to both prove his ability and his resilience
