Match Thread Aberdeen 1 - 0 Partick Thistle

[CalgaryDon]

 

The midfield situation has got be sorted. Tansey has failed to make the required impact. The boy Docherty from Hamilton is worth a look IMO, as are Kamara, Henderson and Crawford.

 

One that MIGHT be worth a look considering he's away to be out of contract is the boy Aurtenetxe. Seems to do well at left back for Dundee but can also play centre-back. Not exactly lightening but certainly quicker than Considine and would free Shinnie up more for midfield.

 

Maynard and Ball out, McGinn and a proper central midfielder in and I'd be happy.

 

If we can manage the Cumdawg on loan on top of that I'd be fucking delighted.

Edit: Realise these are only suggestions but O'Hara, Kamara, Aurtenetxe - we've moved on from that. Greg Stewart and Christie on permanent moves. Mulumbu and a replacement for McLean. Crawford isn't good enough. We need to look at England for players and we may have to pay a fee. Its becoming increasingly difficult for us to sign better players than what we have.

Why England?

Massively over priced market.

Must be some talented players in ur neck of the woods.

You're right we should be looking beyond England but McInnes seems to favour the english market.

[redstrummer]

 

Stewart starting to look more confident and direct, much more of a threat. No way that Rooney goal should have been disallowed. Good stuff from Christie to set up the winner.

 

needs to loose the gloves though

Guys from Canada etc would need work permits, usually there's some rules about international quality players qualifying but not guys below (unless you've some pals at the SFA to help you out..)

Depends on their parental heritage and passport opportunities.

True, but it's still a limiting factor, reducing the pool of available players in those markets.

[mcdougall(4)]

Yeah but we can't shop in the English market.

 

Take millertime's man crush.

Maddison who's a decent player but he cost 6m from Coventry who were in league one and he'd played a grand total of 24 games...

 

That's just not feasible for us.

Now scouting is expensive really expensive but we have to look outside the English market for value and quality.

I agree and its bound to be a dilemma for the club.

 

But... some of our rivals are successfully picking up good players in the English market (Moult) so its not a complete right off.

 

Other markets also maybe easier to get guys than from across the pond? Ireland? Scandy countries?

[KidCreole]

Maddison is a special special talent though

Nae a bad looking cunt either, I like to compare him to Willo Flood

[Reliablesource]

Maddison is a special special talent though

No he isn't. He's a decent enough wee player and if he is very lucky, one day he may have a season or 2 in epl.

[Diesel]

No he isn't. He's a decent enough wee player and if he is very lucky, one day he may have a season or 2 in epl.

Norwich are poor but he's there best player by a mile,have watched 3 Norwich games and he's much stronger than he was with us and was MOTM in two of the games,he'll be in Epl there's no doubt.

[shut up meg]

He's better than that for sure, just needs to become more a team player.

 

Lol

 

Honestly, you are embarrassing

 

He is Zidane reincarnated

 

I don't think so MT.

[Reliablesource]

We will just have to wait and see then, won't we?

[shut up meg]

I thought when he was here, that the boy was leap years ahead of the rest of the squad but seemed to want to do everything himself either because he wasn't a team player or didn't trust the rest of the team.

 

To be honest though, once they leave AFC and are out of Scottish football, I don't really give a fuck about them.

[V for Vendetta]

 

I don't think so MT.

You're correct to be skeptical.

 

Reincarnation of someone who is still alive is particularly unusual.

 

I suppose we could ask for evidence..

[V for Vendetta]

Ok I'll clarify

 

The player Zidane, reincarnated incase for some astounding reason that wasn't obvious

 

Want evidence?

 

Watch him later today live against Chelsea

You understand how reincarnation works right?

[BWG]

You understand how reincarnation works right?

 

I think Millerman is of the opinion that the footballer Zidane is an ephemeral entity which can reincarnate into another living human, leaving the man Zidane an empty husk whilst his spirit travels the cosmos until it finds a suitable vessel. Poor Zidane if that is the case - a fate worse than death. Would also explain why Real Madrid are so shite right now if their manager is completely dead inside and no longer has a soul.

 

 

Think he might have a point tbf (to be fair)

Beautiful.

 

Still not convinced this would be reincarnation unless the body dies though.

 

Transmigration maybe? I dunno, there must be a word for it.

Christie was better for us last season. By a mile.

[V for Vendetta]

Yep, don't see what is hard to get

 

Zidane the player is gone, Zi Maddison is alive

Reincarnation would have worked better with a player who's actually dead that's all.

 

But we'll grant you poetic licence.
