Out Of Contract

[DD1903]

One good game doesn't make O'Connor a good player ffs. He's been bang average since he was signed.

[Tord31]

on the O'Connor one I don't think we even got down to serious negotiations - think his partner wanted back south regardless

[boboisared]

 

I disagree with that.

 

I thought he was superb when he first signed, he was something I felt we were lacking - and could find a pass, but perhaps he put in more effort at the beginning (see also Ash Taylor) because it is the best club IMO that he'll ever play for.

 

He then went backwards, and forgot how to play football and show himself up to be the average player he is. He was far from average when he first signed that much is true.

 

Yesterday showed him in the light of when he first signed, but 1 game which was his last, and a half dozen games at the beginning doesn't make up for the terrible middle spell of his career with us.

Kind of agree with this. When he first signed, I posted on here that his distribution from the back was good and what we had been sorely lacking. Seemed to lack confidence after being caught a couple of times and now looks very uncomfortable on the ball.

 

Change of scenery probably best for all.

[RAZOR]

 

Exactly this.

 

Would be happy enough to see him stay next year.

 

Might also result in Shinnie moving back to LB if we can get someone else for the middle of the park in as well.

Let it go min. He's a CM, just let it go.

[DelMonte]

Let it go min. He's a CM, just let it go.

Played 2 post split games at left back to be fair. He's a footballer who can play both positions pretty well to be fair.

 

Where he plays next season will be dependent on who we get I'd imagine. If he is to play midfield then we need another left back despite how good Considine was yesterday.

[Andy_123]

Let it go min. He's a CM, just let it go.

 

He's a LB who can fill in at CM.

 

He's played there the majority of his time here because Considine is a better LB than most of the CM's we've had are in CM, ergo Shinnie plays where our weakest link is.

 

No midfielder picks up 19 yellow cards a season playing in their natural position.

He plays there because our manager decides to play him there. If he had intentions of replacing Considine and was desperate for Shinnie to play there, he'd have done so in the past 2 years ffs.

 

As I said, let it go. He's a CM.

John Mcginn had 20 this season.

[GDON21]

Dom Ball is miles better than tansey so I would be happy to have him part of the squad. Realistically we need probably 3 new centre mids and if one of them was Ball I would be happy as long as we signed some real quality along with him.

Agreed and given Ball is under contract there is no super rush into a deal so maybe see how much wages there is to play with in one months time

[King Street Loon]

Dom Ball will in all in probability be an Aberdeen player next season.

[Andy_123]

Looked that up and right enough he has, although that's over a couple more games than Shinnie (Scotland and cup games). That surprised at first, but how often has it been said on here that he isn't all that he's made out to be by the media? Runs a lot and gets stuck in, but Shinnie usually has him in his back pocket when they've faced each other.

 

I'd still rather see Dom Ball (or someone of a similar mould) as a holding mid with 2 McLean/Christie types in front of him in the middle. 2 who can take the ball down and go past a player / pick a good pass. Who that'll be i've no idea though.

[Donnet]

Zaukani, black defender.

 

 

He never gives the ball awaaayyyyyyy

[boboisared]

Zaukani, black defender.

 

Apparently spoken to him about signing.

 

Played for Gillingham.

 

Nae excited.

Arsed up

[Mr John]

black defender.

 

 

What an unusual position. Centre black or left black?

[Mr John]

 

He's definitely not right wing.

I won't believe it until Boofon verifies it.

[King Street Loon]

 

Na, that's actually a true story.

 

My mate fucked me over with that cunt many times on FIFA due to this.

The boy has played a shed load of games for the Posh.

Heard his name mentioned a few times over the years.

Was more just an observation and it's hardly mentioned. I think he's a good player and will develop further.

 

As for centre mids for us fuck knows. Desperately need to replace McLean with someone very good though.

[BWG]

It'll be the end of the month until it's all announced won't it?

 

We already know anyway.

[Donnet]

McInnes mentioned in his interview after the Celtic game that it would be announced today.

[BWG]

Ah right.

 

If Maynard hasn't been given a 5 year extension then it'll be a bloody disgrace.

[Dynamo]

Maynard will be off after his player of the year snub.

[cruzcampo3]

Maynard will be off after his player of the year snub

 

Maynard has be hiding in upstairs in Esponage the past few weeks

[1903Fitba]

List has been released. Maynard arnason and harvie all gone.

 

Talks on going with AOC ffs

 

Rogers 2 year deal.

[thomsod]

Maybe Mcinnes went in after game Yday and said to AOC "you're not fucking leaving", kinda like a reverse wolf of Wall Street. Then shay snorted some coke of a hookers tits.

[Granite95]

How we're keeping AOC i'll never know. Granted was great yesterday but has been absolutely honking for large parts of this season, surely can't be hard to do better than him at centre back
