Connor Mclennan


Recommended Posts

The only way McInnes helped Maddison was by taking him to Aberdeen to play in the Scottish league and giving him game time against some hatched men. Probably toughened Maddison up, but you only have to look at his highlights reel on youtube from before he came to us, the talent was abundantly clear. There's a video of him when at Coventry u13s or so and he's still doing the same skills then as he is now, how he can control the ball on the turn and beat a man is seriously impressive.

 

However McLennan is ace. Definitely my faveourite prospect of the youths currently coming through at the moment. 

 

He's a good egg

Cammy Smith, Shankland, Burns, McLaughlin, Wylde, Monakana, McManus, Storie, Rose, Storey Wright and Nwakali are all players that were 22 and under that were classed as having potential and have gone on do very little after suffering at the hands of Mcinnes.  If people want to throw two example at me, one of which is a guy that was already tipped to go to the top of the game then fine batter on but he's hindered more young players careers than he's helped but not giving them enough time or playing them out of position.

 

The players listed were just not good enough. If they were then they would of went on to better things. Lewis Ferguson, Sam Cosgrove, Scott McKenna, Michael Hector, Danny Ward, James Maddison are all players who have benefited from game time under McInnes. Can even put Dean Campbell and Connor McLennan in the nearly bracket at the moment as they are getting decent game time for their age and showing good promise. 

 

Cammy Smith can't get a start for Dundee Utd and thats not down to McInnes. Lawerence Shankland is a championship striker and he admitted himself he was nowhere near fit enough at Aberdeen. Wes Burns at Fleetwood, Gregg Wylde Livingston, Monakana is non league, McManus is on loan at Falkirk, Storie is injured constantly, Michael Rose is at Coventry, Nwakali is rank, scott wright the jury is still out. 

 

Not every young player that comes in to the club is good enough unfortunately. You tell me a club who in McInnes spell at Aberdeen who has nurtured more young talent whether it be loan deals or permanent signings. Bids coming in of 7 million for McKenna, Ferguson in a year or two will go for good money along with Cosgrove. Hector got a move to Chelsea, Danny Ward played in the euros and was sold to leicester for 12 million. Maddison is a 50 million pound player minimum at the moment. 

 

You can't blame that list of players failings down to McInnes. If anything it shows he was right as nobody hes let go willingly has went on to do anything of note.

If Aberdeen had ever been offered £7 million for Scott McKenna he'd be at a different club now.

Got about 15 mins, give him a fucking break. Big queue in front of him in the blame game today, especially that cunt in the dugout

15 minutes or not he was shite. Over hit passes, failing to beat his man a few times, running into blind alleys.

He's been shite every game he's played this season in red.

What I will say though is he needs a run of games to get going, as I had high hopes for him this season.

I think the big question is how does a promising player like him who was outstanding in a tough away game like midweek look so poor at home against the bottom club (albeit a cameo appearance). Has McInnes’ influence not had the desired effect on him unlike the U21 Scotland coach? Is he not as good as we were hoping? Or has he not got the right attitude and thinks he can saunter through the game?
