4 goals this season? Or more than that?

 

It was more his build up and set up play I thought was decent.  Looked lively. 

Didn't appear to have any shots on goal himself.

I'm going to be very impressed if he makes it. I'm still thinking he's not quite got it.

The young loon isn’t good enough for the dandies. 

the very best he can hope for is to sign for a league 1 team and end up being good enough for about 10 goals at a bottom 6 side like Dundee United

What's he done at Hamilton to prove he can play at this level, score 2 goals and none since, in 5 games?

Aye but imagine how many he’d have scored with the assists provided by our wingers and midfield.

I see some still completely writing off Anderson just because he hasn’t s been banging them in for Accies.

Perspective needed. He’s no superstar for sure but he is playing in a side that is really struggling in a relegation battle. They are struggling as a team. Few games where they have been down to ten men for bulk of games. He still has a couple of goals & a few assists (including another at weekend) so all things considered he hasn’t embarrassed himself to (yet again) write off stage.

Cheap player to retain & deserves a chance under our new manager (if he is to play different style to McInnes) & also the chance to see how he progresses under our supposedly very highly rated striker coach.

 

Whos to say that it isn’t in fact Russels coaching that has brought better game from Hendry lately? ?

 

give Anderson a one/two year deal. Chance to work with above in summer & if they aren’t impressed enough to have him as our 3rd/4th striker then we stick him out on loan again. No loss & very very little (if any) expense ‘wasted’ on him.

Talk of spending a fee on likes of Hendry for what would essentially be similar 3rd/4th choice at best ‘hopefully’ is far & away more ridiculous than any consideration of retaining a cheap former youth team player

I don't agree with your logic as I think you make excuses for Bruce wherever he's been but I think you'll get your wish. 

If we've offered him an extension as rumoured I think he'll sign as I don't see anyone shelling out 200k in compensation for him.

Can guarantee one of the below happens if he gets a new deal

1) He will be absolutely horrendous

2) He will find his form then join jack and wright at the huns at the first opportunity

Hi Bruce.

It does when he's only played 10 games.

Playing up front for Hamilton and Aberdeen should be two very different jobs, although McInnes managed to bridge that gap pretty well before he left.

Aye, Hamilton don't have players like Kennedy and Hayes firing balls into the stands instead of to their head or feet.

Well he is saying a big summer ahead for him , I hope he is not getting his head filled with the thoughts of him being a commodity that is perused 

in my opinion commit to a year at the dons under a recognised “ strikers coach” see if you cut it or improve and then be in a better position to either stay with the dons who will be much improved or move on

My hope is he turns down our contract & we get £200k or whatever in training compensation.

Unlikely anyone would want to pay that though.

He’ll probably end up re-signing. 

[Ten Caat]

You would imagine that Hearts are the only club that could afford to cough up £200k or so for his development fee that are showing any interest.

However if Hamilton want him (no evidence that they do yet) I'd be happy to let him go there in a swap for Odoffin. He'd be the defensive squad player that we need to back up Gallagher and whoever we bring in as first choice to partner him. Might chip in with a few goals for us too as a genuine set-piece threat....probably at least as many as Anderson would.

 

[dj_bollocks]

Happy to have him stay... but can't wait to see who our first choice strikers a going to be come mid July...

Considering most of our own fans don't rate him I can't see Steven Gerrard rating him......

[North_Andy_Dandy]

If he seriously wants to be starting week in week out then he shouldn’t be signing a new deal with us.

Does the £200k still apply if Anderson moves to some diddy English team?

No, the compensation is significantly less as it’s cross boarders. 
 

Only info I can find related to the huns so won’t post link to those cunts but it goes on about Ings from Burnley to Liverpool. 
Liverpool paid 6.5 million plus add ons but if Ings had joined a Scottish club Burnley would’ve only received 270k as the formula set out be FIFA (cross boarders) is different to that set out by the FA

No it isn't. There is a standard FIFA formula for working out development fee payments due on cross border transfers

Within England, their PFCC has a different arrangement for development fees if a player joins another English club.  That is why Charlton were so keen for Joe Aribo to join another English club and were gutted/furious that he chose to join sevco. They got £300k using the FIFA formula whereas the PFCC would have more than likely ordered an English club to pay well in excess of a million. Scotland chooses to use the FIFA formula for intra Scotland transfers

What a surprise, the English use a different formula to see even more inflation in their joke of a market ?

Anderson, unfortunately, has had enough opportunity for me and has fallen short.

We require a better standard of striker I'm afraid.

Hamilton in the championship is probably Bruce's level, although he didn't perform particularly well when on loan at Ayr.

This time last year most on here were wanting rid of Wright and Hedges

Hedges and Wright had something about them though, even when they were off the boil at times.

I've yet to see anything in Anderson to make me think he'll make it at this level.  I'd love to be proven wrong, and maybe he does need to work in a different setup, but he's hardly set the world alight at Aberdeen, Ayr or Hamilton.
