Derek McInnes

Anderson is too young.

Anderson if given a run in the team will score more goals than Wilson, Cosgrove and May combined. The lad has something about him but our esteemed manager doesn’t want to play goal scorers unless throwing them in the deep end chasing a draw.
Cosgrove will start against Motherwell (hasn’t scored a serious goal for the Dons) but Anderson will be fortunate if he gets 10-15mins....please explain that one?

Cosgrove has scored one in his life. Ooooooooh Derek McInnes.

Clubs are more likely to look at the fact he played for Man Utd (we did) rather than what he does or doesn’t do here.

I wouldn't agree with that.

[Mason89]

I wouldn't agree with that.

I know

[Kilgore trout]

Glad we signed Cosgrove then..?

Not particularly. I would have gone for Steven McLean.

I cant imagine who you could blame for signing that (another) phucking donkey?

[Kilgore trout]

Part of why he wanted to go is because his manager dropped him and changed the system! He said that was part of his decision as he didn't want another year as a bit part player and seeing the route Derek wants to play.

Stockley was League 2 actually but don't let facts get in the way. Plus some players do it in places and don't in others. You are speaking like the SPL is the Serie A - we are playing a 20k Carlisle reserve as our main striker at times.

Too young Anderson? Give me a break, he's 20 in 4 days, he's nae a bairn. Mbappe is 3 months younger as an example....old enough good enough.

How on earth is comparing the second youngest player to score in a world cup final in any way a justification for heaping pressure on a young loon just out of the reserves ?
I think you loons have been putting too much emphasis on your play stations. Me I've had the dubious pleasure of watching Rooney blowing out of his arse. Never winning a header and incapable of holding up play for the last 2 years

SO at 28 Rooney was an unfit shambles? What utter rhubarb to speak.

I knew you'd take that comparison like that....you said he's too young - he isn't.

Now you change it to "loon out of reserves" which is totally different - that's inexperience at this level. However the only way he will get experience is to play, and when a young player hits the ground running like he did v Rangers, the sensible move is to keep him playing and try and strike while the iron is hot.

Instead he came off the bench again v Dundee (hitting the bar) and is getting less time by the week and that'll be even less when Wilson returns.

Before you know it he's 22/23 and not getting games so he will disappear down south and we will moan about another player leaving us for England and saying he should've been "loyal".

And he still managed to score more than McInnes's chosen ones.

You missed the bit about him scoring 31 goals in those same two seasons. Accidental oversight I am sure
