It's a reasonable argument. Have to ask this question though if Sow didn't play for a wee while after signing because he wasn't fit are we to believe he was fit when he came into the team? Or was there pressure on Robbie to play him regardless? The lad looked unfit, lazy, lacking in team spirit to get back and get forward. All the hallmarks of a player who was either injured or thinks he is showman who can do it without the effort. Or a wage thief, even worse.
Aberdeen fans on the other hand can't fault May's effort and application.
I suppose well have to wait and see. I don't want any player in Tangerine to fail just so my opinion was right, be delighted to see him do really well.
