Dynamo Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 Always thought he was decent enough. Happy enough with the signing, an improvement on AOC/Reynolds/Arnason. Link to comment
Mr John Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 Not the answer to what? What has signing a defender with a long term vision got to do with your perceived lack of options in midfield? Errr, everyone on here has said we're short on midfield options...shouldn't that be addressed first? I'll make my posts more obvious next time. What would you say if Chidi comes in and plays a blinder tomorrow with Shinnie at LB?I'd say all of a sudden the complexion of the squad changes. I'd be very happy, but he's an untried young loanee, not Patrick Vieira so that's just conjecture. Just being realistic, why not bring in an established defensive/central midfielder? On the plus side, with Europe and the League Cup done, we don't need as thorough a squad for the rest of the season, so barring a rash of injuries and if Chidi's decent, we're good to go challenge for trophies, but we won't know until (the month of) May.

1903Fitba Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 He’s bigHe’s whiteHopefully he’s not shite DevlinDevlin Link to comment
Zander1903 Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 not worried about his injury, heard on the grapevine that Marvin Andrews has been looking after his rehabilitation hope the new stadium has got lots of room in the treatment room Link to comment
Ke1t Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 My biggest concern isn't that Devlin's injured or doesn't have the silky skills of a Hetherston or an Inglis, but whether or not he's combative. We've a team overloaded with silky players, but how many of them can take a punch? Say what you like about India's husband, but any time there was a handbags situation he was the first red shirt into to come running, and I fucking loved that. I jokingly mentioned hypnosis earlier, but truthfully the psychological aspect of the game is critical to reaching the level that Celtic plays at. Watching us against Celtic and Sevco this year has brutally highlighted how far behind we are in this area. Link to comment
mcdougall(4) Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 Been saying it for weeks. Sometimes we'd just be better letting a young guy settle and take the pain of the odd poor performance rather than playing a player we know is limited and not in good form anyway.We aren't exactly the most accommodating fan base for the ups and downs of young players imo Link to comment
mcdougall(4) Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 Been a captain in the past, hopefully will bring a bit of leadership as well as his footballing qualities (whatever they are) Link to comment
Poodler Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 Ed Sheeran killed Devlin's career. Community Outcast, London City, amongst others were way better. This comment has surprised me. You in2 ur grime Byen? Link to comment
Chewie37 Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 Good signing, however why is Pittodrie now “The Pittodrie”? Is it because it’s died? https://www.afc.co.uk/2018/01/26/signing-news-devlin-becomes-don/ Link to comment
DaveTheDon Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 Honestly I dont know much about the lad but he's saying all the right things and he's got a look in his eye that he means what he's saying. What I really wanna know is...... how does this affect our fairy factor? We need a massive drop in fairiness. Hope this lad will go some way to reduce that Link to comment
1903Fitba Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 Wheres he from? Kept saying good to be back in his interview. Link to comment
BWG Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 Do you think we just go for one target at a time in order of necessity? And the transfers get concluded nice and quickly with no fuss?Do you think we approach player recruitment with a modicum of competence like? Link to comment
mcdougall(4) Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 Wheres he from? Kept saying good to be back in his interview.Was at us as a teen so that would explain that. Shows how good our youth system was... Link to comment
shut up meg Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 At least we now have someone that can play on the Hamilton remnant king pitch. 1 Link to comment
mcdougall(4) Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 At least we now have someone that can play on the Hamilton remnant king pitch. Maybe not since he's coming back from a serious knee injury, might not be allowed to play on it, every silver lining has a cloud Link to comment
fine-n-dandy Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 Was at us as a teen so that would explain that. Shows how good our youth system was...Apparently he was released when he was a youth player by us because he was too tall 1 Link to comment

CammyB Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 Very good signing another leader in the team and excited to see the Devlin McKenna partnership (hopefully!) Good to see us preparing for next season and hopefully we can get some permanent midfielders in next. Link to comment
sheep123 Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 Seen him quite a few times against us plus other games on the box, solid hardy cunt that boots and heads everything, none of this pushed of the ball shite or playing about with it, basically a proper defender which we probably aint had from a center half in ages Link to comment
strachanmcgheegoal Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 Fit Devlin to play alongside McKenna - excellent Crocked Devlin unable to play on plastic desperately trying to fill the gap left by the departed McKenna and fill the gaps left by the still there Considine - not so much.

caledonia Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 maybe dons are thinking of letting McKenna go if offer is upped a littlegreat signing for me though and only 24 Link to comment
fine-n-dandy Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 maybe dons are thinking of letting McKenna go if offer is upped a littleThat really wouldn't surprise me.Disgusting if it happens. They will lose any little remaining respect they have. Hell even Neil McCann is standing up saying clubs should be paying the price for players if they deem them good enough for their teams. Fk all this rolling over to the big money teams for pennies Link to comment
Tord31 Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 if we got offerd £1.5m for mckenna they would entertain it. the three bids so far have all been less than a third of that though Link to comment
Ernie McCracken Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 maybe dons are thinking of letting McKenna go if offer is upped a littlegreat signing for me though and only 24Na McInnes reiterated that he won't be sold this window. Also said that even if they were willing to sell him, that Hulls offer would not be something that would interest them. Link to comment
