What position?

 

Thinks left back left back left back left back left back left back left back left back left back left back left back

[Frank Grimes 142]

He’s a winger I think

[starryfish 24]

Right back but can play elsewhere, this season’s Dom Ball

A little bit about him on the Aberdeen website. Sounds more promising then Dom Ball.

 

"The loan is for the remainder of the 2019 MLS season" - when does the MLS season officially end?

Highlights reel

[Donmacca 45]

According to wikipedia he's a forward, winger, full back. Hasn't made a 1st team appearance yet so guessing Cormack has pushed this through to aid his development

[North_Andy_Dandy 0]

Welcome aboard loon!

 

Cormack’s ties getting used, I’d imagine Atlanta are covering the cost of his wages which is a bonus.

[Dad 1,501]

Fucking terrific

 

[Tord31 617]

good move @@Dad heading over to smooth the deal

[Tord31 617]

Looks like he was a right winger/forward at uni under Bobby Clark scoring goals left, right and centre.

 

14th pick in the 2018 draft but has not cut the mustard at Atlanta.

 

Most recently he's been there back up right back.

 

Probably Atlanta covering his wages until Christmas and its a punt to nothing to keep our american investors sweet

 

welcome aboard Myles Anderson II

[BWG 2,938]

Utility player then. Well at least Dom Ball won't be back.

Imagine actually thinking that.

 

Boys played about 40 competitive games for an MLS Second team and 80 college games which are on par with Sunday League.

 

Hope he’ll be good, imagine he’ll be shite.

[Sooper-hanz 894]

Fucking terrific

 

 

You say terrific , I say a goalie moving his hands out the way of the ball. 

[strachanmcgheegoal 813]

And a deflection off the wall.

[torry_battery_ram 35]

Clearly brought in as cover if we end up getting injuries.  I remember people writing off Sam Cosgrove as he had a poor record in English non league football and he's done not too bad so lets give this Gallagher guy a chance before writing him off as shite

I'll settle for us even getting to see him get a run. This one could go either way.

[Shinniesta 459]

Definitely looks like he has ability from the clips and for sure finishes better than the current version of Stevie May can but whether he can cut the mustard at SPFL level remains to be seen. He's only 23 lets hope it's a success.

 

Welcome to the Dons Jon!

[Tord31 617]

some of his ex notre dam teammates seem very sure he'll make it. promising

[V for Vendetta 1,369]

Bit of an odd one as the lad hasn't even played for Atlanta Utd it seems?

 

Squad player I suppose and no harm in having cover for Logan.

 

Any left backs..?

[TheRock 127]

Been playing for Stephen Glass at Atlanta. Can only assume that played a part (even if it was only his manager being able to actually speak from experience about the city and club)

[OddJob 272]

Yeah definitely a random signing but at the same time it’s good to form some sort of link with the Yankee teams and if he does end up doing well can hopefully mean some more guys heading over in the future. Welcome to the club loon

[V for Vendetta 1,369]

Been playing for Stephen Glass at Atlanta 2. Can only assume that played a part (even if it was only his manager being able to actually speak from experience about the city and club)

Fixed it

[TheRock 127]

I thought that was like the equivalent of their Colt teams. Are they actually different clubs?

I've no idea but I assume the same as you did.

 

It just stuck out to me when I read that article- he's never played for their first team, so I'd guess he's a bit of a gamble/project player again or he's simply here to provide a wee bit of cover.

 

Or.. maybe it's to open the door to other opportunities?

 

Fuck knows.

[milne_afc 946]

Maybe he's efter a job on the rigs

[Sooper-hanz 894]

there's no fucking way this guy is cutting it in Scotland.

[super_al 146]

This seems a very odd signing. The guy is 23 and never played in a professional football match. Sorry but we have signed one decent player in 5 thus far.
