Brown will play 90% of games now we are playing once a week. It's just a waste of a wage bringing Longstaff in. Considering we were already overloaded with them. As someone else mentioned about the centre half situation Glass has taken his eye right off the ball there. Had Considine not got injured i don't think we'd have signed Bates. Unless Longstaff is a better player than Ferguson for example. 2 Link to comment

I'm sure Ferguson and Longstaff will be able to cope with a few shifts in midfield without Brown every now and again. I'm more bothered about us having only one recognised striker Link to comment

Yeah because we will still have McCrorie, McGeough that can do a shift in Browns absence also. Provided we still have 2 central defenders fit Link to comment

Provided we still have 2 central defenders fit I'd be less confident in those two filling in tbh. McCrorie can't run a midfield and McGeouch just can't get round the park quick enough. I think Longstaff would be able to cover Brown's job quite easily. Link to comment

Glass is to central defenders what McInnes was to full backs. it seems they both feel anyone can just fill in in these areas He’s brought in two international centre halves min - dry your eyes ?

Kennedy to the championship sounds more suitable for his actual ability. Link to comment

ThomohawkKid Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 I’d be pretty confident saying Longstaff is better than Ferguson and we will see this next few months. I’ve seen him for Newcastle showing levels well above Ferguson. One of them should be used as CAM to Jan. Link to comment
RED_JOHN Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 No complaints here. We wanted a bigger squad so we had plenty cover for injuries etc and we have that. Fringe players will need to step up a gear or 2 if they want in the squad for matches now. It will hopefully help everyone keep on their toes. Link to comment
DelMonte Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 Not a bad window but could have done with a few going out. Kennedy and co just taking up a wage. Link to comment

From what I can gather, the players released at end of last season freed up marginally over £25k weekly, or about 2/5 of the playing squad wage bill. Prob equates to between 6-8 first XI players salaries. This is before taking McInnes’ salary into the mix.... Link to comment

McCrorie not a CH Considine likely to never play any meaningful part again other than token game/s Devlin ??? Bates ? definitely a wait & see but honestly not expecting much Gallagher, might come good. Not impressed at all so far but maybe he needs an actual competent CH alongside to look competent himself. Doesn’t seem he has that though. We have Zero CH’s that look like they can control a back line. I think we could have the worst defensive record we have had for a great number of seasons this season Link to comment
