fine-n-dandy Posted September 26, 2020 Share Posted September 26, 2020 Anderson was a fantastic defender. Just because Samaras had a couple of good games against him MT jumped on this & comes out with the same shite every time. Samaras had a couple of great games against a a good few great defenders. Anderson kept our side reasonably respectable when without him we would have been a complete fkn embarrassment a lot of the time. He would attack every ball with calmness & was never scared to put his head/face in dangerous places. He was the ultimate professional CH amongst a pile of shite Link to comment
fine-n-dandy Posted September 26, 2020 Share Posted September 26, 2020 Oh & MT, Samaras was on 10-12 times Anderson’s wage ? 1 1 Link to comment
fine-n-dandy Posted September 26, 2020 Share Posted September 26, 2020 Would be a fkn dream to have Anderson & Hoban in defence now. Also McKenna would have been even better alongside Anderson a back three of Anderson, Hoban & even Considine would be best in league right now Link to comment
Parklife Posted September 26, 2020 Share Posted September 26, 2020 Anderson was a brilliant player for us. A very good defender and certainly a modern legend. His weakness was definitely strong, physical forwards though. Which is probably why he struggled down south, where if you're not strong and quick, you need to be supremely talented. Find it weird that an Aberdeen fan would be so desperate to slag off someone who done so much for AFC though. Bizarre behaviour. 1 14 3 Link to comment
aberdeen1970 Posted September 26, 2020 Share Posted September 26, 2020 Anderson have everything in every game for Aberdeen in both of his spells with the club. That's enough for me. Plus he was a great ambassador for the club and also gave his signing on fee to the club when he went to Sunderland which was an incredibly classy thing to do. Link to comment
The Lighthouse Posted September 27, 2020 Share Posted September 27, 2020 I think we have established that the boy MT is talking shite yet again. Russell was a great player for the club and regularly won MOTM awards. He was very unlucky with injuries especially after his move south. The consensus is clear. Argument won. 2 1 Link to comment
NEM Posted September 27, 2020 Share Posted September 27, 2020 20 hours ago, shut up meg said: You've got a right hard on for Anderson and I have no idea why, he's obviously not up there with the players of the 80's however he did a lot of good things for the Dons. Captained the Dons to our only trophy in 25 years, we received a large fee for him when we was in financial dire straits, he donated his signing on fee to Aberdeen youth development and even managed to score more goals playing for the Dons at centre back than your futsal idol zero. Anderson probably the closest we’ve had to a legend since Jess. Millermong would probably say show pony Zero which sums the halfwit up 5 Link to comment

Simosmashed my knee Posted September 27, 2020 Share Posted September 27, 2020 Russell was a great servant to Aberdeen FC, stood out in very average sides Link to comment

Proud Dandy Posted September 27, 2020 Share Posted September 27, 2020 Anderson in his prime before he went down south was easily the best defender we’ve had in the last c20 years. He made the likes of Diamond look good and still performed well most often surrounded by shite players. McKenna is a better physical specimen and will earn more in his career but it doesn’t make him anywhere near as good a defender. Link to comment

I think that’s a fair enough assumption. McKenna will already probably have more Scotland caps than Anderson, and 50 caps for McKenna should be the absolute minimum. Almost guaranteed McKenna will make more money than Anderson given the exponential rise in wages since Anderson retired. And on the most important point (in my view), Anderson of course has one proper winners medal in his career. McKenna might struggle there with mid ranked English clubs, but one medal could be achievable. Link to comment
Ten Caat Posted September 27, 2020 Share Posted September 27, 2020 Aye McKenna is young enough that 50 caps should be an absolute cakewalk for him. In spite of the weegia, who didn't want him played in either of the internationals played earlier this month. Now he's in England they'll never want him dropped. And naturally he will make more money than Anderson did. If, as I expect, he earns a move to a lower EPL club within 18-24 months, he will surpass Anderson's career earnings by the time he's 27. As for the medals......he'll get a few at Celtic later on in his career. Link to comment

Andy_123 Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 Anderson deserved a far better surrounding cast than he had for the majority of his time here. If only we had him now instead of Taylor and Devlin... Link to comment
aberdeen1970 Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 Aye he'd be perfect for the right of the three. Loved a full blooded Anderson sliding tackle Link to comment
tightbreeks Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 Match of the day, Anderson's debut for Sunderland, comes on in the second half. Nightmare, gives away a pen. Unfortunately he was barely seen in that sunderland side again. Ruthless he got one chance, he deserved better than that because he always played to 100% and an aberdeen great. Link to comment

I'd be surprised if he was actually fit for more than 10 games in a row for any of the few clubs he played for. Good player and a modern legend. Seems a decent guy as well. Link to comment
