Ke1t Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 I'm curious as to why McInnes went for the fourth choice St Johnstone striker. Link to comment

Desperation is the word that comes to mind. He’s very similar to Curtis Main really. I don’t blame either player for taking the chance to be at Pittodrie. Both try their best, both give their all & put themself about, but ultimately not good enough. The blame for either of them been in the “no9 jersey” for the Dons is the clown in the dug outs fault.

RUL Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 It was a great header, admittedly the defending wasn't clever. He's not the answer. Link to comment

I was thinking watching Yesterday he had a bit of Main about him. It confirms there is an issue with Anderson as this lad is no better than Anderson Link to comment

It confirms there is an issue with Anderson as this lad is no better than Anderson My take on it is that we have let 3 strikers go and replaced them like for like, You are making the wrong comparison in mentioning Anderson Cosgrove..........replacement Hornby. Jury out if better or not, now injured and probably for some time. The Cosgrove that scored goals tilts the balance in his favour although the disinterested Cosgrove was unquestionably shite. No evidence as yet that Hornby is anything other that overpriced shite sadly Main......replacement Hendry. Seems to be a carbon copy of Main. Enthusiastic but limited. Will be cheaper than Main so at least we will be saving a decent amount each week. Anderson.......replacement Kamberi. Full Albanian international, unquestionably an upgrade but can he sustain his interest levels for any length of time? Link to comment
Tord31 Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 I'm calling it. Happy to sign this cunt as a squad player. Seems like a good lad and looks more likely to score than Kamberi and Hornby. Also presumably is cheaper. We need to sign four strikers this summer so lets focus on saving our pennies for 2 very good signings and stick with Hendry and Anderson as 3 and 4. Link to comment

paddy Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 No from me. Didn’t realise he is 23, so doubt he has much scope to improve now. Need quality and not quantity for next season. Bin. Link to comment

Depends on the formation. 4 if we are going with 2 up top. Budget also depends - a decent scout could find a gem on buttons. Link to comment

But football has moved on from the days of picking up a Henrik Larsson for £500k or even a Mark De Vries. There are bigger clubs snaffling up players before we are even in there. I think Glen Kamara was a good recent example. 1) We needed to know about him at Arsenal and be ready to pounce when he was released 2) We needed to be brave and go right in with £300k after 6 months. Ok he eventually went for less at only £60k but he was clearly eyeing up better things than AFC after he'd done a year at Dundee Link to comment

aberdeen1970 Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 Hendry would be a McInnes type signing along Main lines. A squad filler who will never be anything other than a squad filler. We need to hold our nerve. There will be better options out there than Callum Hendry. Link to comment

Ultimately Hendry was McInnes's signing. Glass will surely want to get as many as his own signings in as he can - we need to move on from the shite been served up this season. Link to comment

I don't see the point in signing poor players who cannot get a game for a team lower down the league than even us before giving chances to Guys already at the club. Link to comment

No problem with that if we have enough players at the club. However I think Ruth would benefit from a loan next season and its still tbc if Anderson will sign on. Link to comment

StandFree1982 Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 He's not getting much game time but has taken his chances well, so on that basis he does deserve credit. He's the only cunt who seems to know where to stick the ball. Do I think he's worth a new contract? Maybe, he's scored the same number as Anderson in much less minutes, and in a team who are struggling to create and score, so he'd maybe be a good backup / Cosgrove like experiment. I've not seen enough of him to say that he'll make it, but as mentioned above, he can score. He certainly doesn't deserve any flak. Link to comment
