Team of the Decade

[Don Fonte]

Rather than commenting on everyone's team, how about you pick one?

Can't be arsed. Might later.

[The_Next_Legend]

Below is the team if I could pick my starting XI from players we've had. I know Shinnie never played LB for us but i'd rather have him at left back than dropping one of McLean or Fergie.

 

Can't help but think if Anderson was alongside McKenna he would develop into some player.

 

If we could get a better right back that team would be challenging the league easily, especially with the bench. Could always chuck shinnie RB and Lowe in at LB.

 

I've highlighted in bold though my favourite players in the past 10 years, although i love Pawlett for that season of the league cup and the scenes at hampden singing Peter Pawlett Baby, he just isn't quite good enough to get into my starting XI and Rooney is the first actual goalscorer i've ever seen in my short 18 years or so of supporting us but I prefer cosgrove as an all round player. Big fan of Jack too, but I think Fergie is better and will go onto have a great career in England top flight.

That says everything about our decade.

That must have been scenes, sitting at Hampden on your tod singing that.

[Parklife]

Absolutely fucking no chance Rooney gets in ahead of Cosgrove. Cosgrove is scoring in a dog shit team and is miles better overall.

Better player by a long way, agreed. Rooney was brilliant for us for a long part of the decade though.

[Don Fonte]

^^he made people playing beside him better. If you disagree you're an imbecile.

Correct.

[DD1903]

Considine? He has been pish for the vast majority of his time with us.

Christie Maddison McGinn

Rooney

[WesthillWanderersFC]

People forget how good Mark Reynolds was. He'd def be in my 11.

He was quick & that pace got him out of problems he left himself in from a lack of positional sense.

He was good until he got that shoulder injury in an away European tie.

His distribution was abysmal though.

Diamond's best season at Aberdeen was the year after Anderson retired.

3-4-2-1 formation

Lewis

Hector Anderson Reynolds

McGinn Jack Shinnie Hayes

Christie McLean

Cosgrove

 

Subs: Ward, Considine, Logan, Robson, Pawlett, Maddison, Rooney

 

The above would win the league under a manager with a positive outlook.

The year after he left for Sunderland he had Severin holding his hand.

McKenna that good that he's in the starting 11 AND subs bench?
