The Lighthouse Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 Can`t believe that there are some on here who are even questioning the wisdom of signing KA. Witness the utter shite defending from Gash Taylor last season and the less than than convincing contributions so far from O`Conner / Reynolds. I would be astonished if we do not have an improvement in the defence immediately once KA is in the team. 1 Link to comment
aberdeen1970 Posted July 16, 2017 Share Posted July 16, 2017 He plays in midfield,He plays at the ba-aack,Kari Arnason,Will negate the influence of Ryan Jack next time we play Sevco . (if for some unlikely reason McInnes plays him in midfield)Catchy! Link to comment
Mr John Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 Some of you need to get a grip. He hasn't even played a game yet. Every signing is a gamble. Just his presence in the squad might be enough of a positive effect, let alone where/how he plays, give it some time FFS. 2 Link to comment

Away to fuck. He's going to win us the league. 1 Link to comment
Reliablesource Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 I'm looking forward to hearing what McInnes has to say about this signing. I'm sure we will hear his take on it eventually.Only took a few days but McInnes has finally said something re Arnason... well kind of. Link to comment
dave_min Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 Only took a few days but McInnes has finally said something re Arnason... well kind of.Did he say "Once a Don, always a Don" ? Link to comment
Reliablesource Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 Did he say "Once a Don, always a Don" ?Haha It's odd and not McInness style.. On GMS - I am grateful to the board for supporting me in paying a transfer fee to get Gary in from Celtic.He is a brilliant signing who can excite the fans and I cant wait to get working with him. etc etc. On Stewart - "Greg is a player who I have admired for a while and I am delighted he has joined us for the challenge ahead." Etc etc. On Maynard - Nicky is certainly capable of hitting that level of 20 goals. There is no doubt about that.When I did work with Nicky he was a very important player for us and I want him to be that for us now. etc etc. Tansey and Christie have also had very high praise from McInnes publicly. Through club website and wider media...... Absolutely nothing yet from the management team on the Kari Arnason transfer apart from a couple of lines in the EE today about our defence being strong enough and wanting to get one more in. Talks up every current defender and fails to even name drop Arnason. Link to comment
ShinnieFGS Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 Get his centre back partner from last year's Euros signed up too. Where's he at? Not looking forward to the Foundry Reds ruining away days by doing the iconic Icelandic clap in the stands at him though. Cringing already. Link to comment

1903Fitba Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 Wasn't an Mcinnies signing. Milne did it. Mcinnies now want to leave and is in talks with Hearts. Saw it on ab mad. Factual. There are tweets as well. Fact. Link to comment
minijc Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 Fact is he was a cheaper option than who Mcinnes wanted and one the board knew the fans would take kindly to, from what I've heard no one at the club has seen him in the last 8 months. 1 Link to comment
Clydeside_Sheep Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 Good signing imo, if he does well his deal should be extended by a year asap. Link to comment

I assume I am falling for a wind up here because there is absolutely zero chance that the board have brought someone one in without McInnes' blessing. No way did the board go through the events of the summer to keep him here to risk upsetting him over a transfer inwards. Link to comment

Henry Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 As I recall his performance v Hibs in the SC semi that year was abysmal. I will be watching with interest his performances in the cup games while he is here again. Specifically cup games? Link to comment
Reliablesource Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 Bed wetting.That's one of the very usual one liners on here. Good one, you fit in. Anyway, just an observation and im surprised nobody else noticed. As I said previously, my opinion is Arnason will do well for us and is a good addition to the squad. He would have put a couple of hundred extra onto the season ticket sales I'd have thought. Link to comment
ShinnieFGS Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 Can only imagine all of Mcinnes' thoughts are on Thursday night's game and since Arnason isn't available for it, he will wait until Friday onwards before speaking about him in the press. He's a Dons player, but he's irrelevant just now until after Thursday night. Might see Arnie against Brechin at the weekend if he's fit enough. 2 Link to comment

mavv1903 Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 Welcome home... Good signing I believe. Will do a decent job for us at Centre back, sure he will be a certain starter aswell, not coming here to sit on bench. Link to comment
