I thought aboot him a couple of weeks ago inna after reading he'd left Den Haag. Wages would be a stretch and he was a well documented heed-the-ba, but he's a free agent and in fairness it's been a few years since his last acid attack / death threat prosecution. Proper box office stuff ? Link to comment

Proper box office stuff ? Surely be the perfect fit alongside Brown and Griffiths? looks as if he works with a lot of players in a pre pre season if you like. Not sure if that’s something he will still be able to do now at aberdeen. Maybe get a few decent free agents training at cormack park? Link to comment

Anything will be better than watching Tony Docherty putting the strikers through the same old routine before kick off every game. The useless cunts never got better at it anyway. Miss after miss after miss. Shocking display some weeks. Link to comment

RUL Posted April 2, 2021 Share Posted April 2, 2021 Interestingly one of the 72 people he follows on twitter is marley Watkins. Link to comment

Whys he not at a premiership club? Most guys get their foot in the door with ex teammates etc. He's getting his chance at full time football, rather than individual and specific training for clients and the England National Team, with us, Just enjoy the fact someone reputable is joining us, and it should result in us scoring more goals next season.

He clearly knows the club and knows Russell and is one of the more likelier of his clients to join us. Link to comment

Sheepo Posted April 3, 2021 Share Posted April 3, 2021 Does it now mean that because we have a coach who is an expert in forward play that we won't expect our wingers to be secondary full backs Link to comment

Logic doesn't hold mate, we knew who McNamara, Wilson, Tansey, Bryson, May were and they tanked here. Whereas unknowns like Watkins & Hedges have come here and been brilliant. Get the RIGHT players, not celebreties. Link to comment

King Street Loon Posted April 3, 2021 Share Posted April 3, 2021 22 hours ago, Tord31 said: Aye with us having capacity to sign 3-4 strikers it would be ideal if he has 1 or 2 in mind. Berahino has been in the doldrums for years but two seasons in Belgium he cant be on super money these days. Another of his clients, Eder, is also out of contract. Could be more mileage in this than I first imagined. 1 1 Link to comment

The ballsy approach would be to come in and stick Ruth up front until the summer and invest time and effort into him. Risky though. Link to comment

Risky though. Not really sure how much we would learn, given that 2 of the games are against the arse cheeks, where we struggle to get more than 35% possession. We will certainly learn a lot about MacKenzie and Ramsay though. And we have to make a bit of an effort in the Cup, given to favourable draw and the reward on offer for winning it. Unlikely I know, but from the little I've seen of Ruth, he looks a bit lightweight still and so I think we will go with the loan strikers in some sort of combination. If the Hibs match is a dead rubber then maybe give him a run out in that game Link to comment
