Cammy Smith would be a good replacement for McLean. Or we could’ve kept him & not signed the Hun ponce in the first place

McLean no doubt has his faults and his style (and styling) doesn't lend itself to the SPL but his pass to GMS for his goal against farts was world class and I doubt Cammy Smith will play such a pass if he plays for a century.

Let’s not get carried away, is was a beautiful pass but the type you see at every level every week

Apologies I am not normally the enthusiastic type. Let’s just say I suspect McLean will be a couple of seasons at Norwich then off to one of the hyped-up circus clubs. He fits the profile.

Kenny is twice the player Cammy is.
I like Cammy, he’s good, but Kenny is a better all round midfield player.

I’m a Kenny fan too he’s been wasted by mcinnes should have played constantly in the centre of the 3 which league do you think his style fits ?

However to say canny smith couldn’t do it is ridiculous we will never know as he was wasted by mciness as well there’s a theme.

Any league where he would get time on the ball. Perhaps with a terrier like Cammy Smith beside him he might have got it at the Dons but he spends a lot of time watching the ball being launched over his head. I suspect he is better than people give him credit for but , possibly, not as good as he thinks he is?

One problem at Aberdeen is (with the exception of Shinnie) our players can't fight and our fighters can't play.

Capitalist.
Come the revolution........etc

As long as they only purge the intelligentsia you’ll be fine.

Hang on a minute I meant small.

To be honest I wasn't his greatest fan either (although I get limited exposure obviously) but I suspect he would have been better in the role than Ball or AOC. We'll never know. I was drawing a comparison with McLean who is possibly best described as - languid?

I suspect you need more fibre in your diet but then that would be me jumping to conclusions too.

As ever, donunder makes some good points .... and McLean may be languid but he always wants the ball, has a good range of passing, can hit a ball well, is two-footed and can play in a number of roles/positions. This last point has perhaps meant he has many detractors - the old “jack of all trades, master of none” argument.
I feel a lot of fans will realise how good he is once he’s gone. He will take some replacing ....

ANyone who goes to our games will have seen the real Kenny McLean since the turn of the year, or pretty much since he signed for Norwich, he is more like the player I remember when at St Mirren. What has been the turnaround I have no idea, but my own opinion of him is that we didn't get the best out of him for most of the time here and I don't blame the guy himself, was played in the wrong role most of his time here.

I hope he does a job for Norwich.
