Scott Brown signs pre-contract with Aberdeen

[fine-n-dandy]

I will worship him if he goes right through Jack &/or Morelos in his final game against them for Celtic this season resulting in two stretchers & two bookings

[redstrummer]

Wow , more signings like this please . Think he'll have a bit of a pull bringing others in too

I'm looking forward to next season, the first time in years!  Don't think I'll ever start calling him 'Broony' though.

I'll call him whatever the fuck he likes if he lifts the cup at Hampden next May ?

[spamspamspam]

Good move by the club to get Glass's replacement sorted out so soon

Purely as a player - Celtic fans have been complaining constantly whenever they see him in the starting line up, is he really good enough anymore?

No he isn’t 

 

& he is even more worthless (on the pitch) to us without the 75 minutes of ‘free pass’ he gets from refs at Celtic before getting his ‘persistent’ fouling card once the games are in the bag.

 

I won’t deny that I believe his attitude will be a bonus in the dressing room etc. though but as a player I really think he is a wasted shirt

[sheepcrooky]

Jeezo. One fucking brave signing. 
 

He is probably the player I have hated the most in the past 10 years, because he is just a mutant cunt. But he is now our mutant cunt and if that brings in some winning mentality to AFC, then bring it on. 
 

Still can’t picture the fucker in our red AFC strip. 

[fine-n-dandy]

Rumours of Griffiths incoming also ?

[Ke1t]

I hadn't previously noticed that he had tiny little flipper arms.

One point I've heard is that they haven't managed his playing time well at all. We've got 3 young midfielders that we will want to give gametime to as well, so I could see us playing him sparingly, but he'd be at his best when he does.

A cast-off that they offered a new deal, strange.

Excuse me for not wanking myself into oblivion over a clearly well past his best Scott Brown signing for a season before he retires.

I assume he won’t be on a small wage either so best hope this isn’t as good as it gets.

Aye, some didn't think it was deserved, but doesn't change that Celtic fans have derided him all season.

Yeah. That's how I see it. He'll not be playing 90 minutes every week. 

[perthshirered]

As long as he's better than the last Scott Brown to have graced the shirt. 

Great addition, he won't put up with limp-wristed, half-arsed performances from McLellan and the like.

The one and only time I would agree with you. 

[thurso]

Didn’t think I’d ever see Scott brown signing for Aberdeen.
 

Even if he doesn’t play if his mentality rubs off on our three centre midfielders and I never have to see ojo in an aberdeen strip again I’ll be more than happy. 3 players starting from 5 of Ferguson mccrorie mcgeough Campbell and brown would be pretty good in my book

For ability or for basically being a wee Ned & & going nose to neck with some of their players?

& MOTM awarded by whom exactly ?

Yep in a non competitive match against a Hun side whose season had just ended after winning the league the game before and exiting Europe.

When they needed him to turn up in the competitive matches earlier in the season he was thoroughly ineffective. Don't see him being the huge influence on the park that he would have been if he'd signed two years previously.

Not many are wanking themselves in to oblivion, it's smart move looking at the bigger picture, he's the type of guy we've missed for years and his influence could easily rub off on our younger players which in turn makes them better.

Funny as I was just thinking the same regards your last couple of posts in this thread

i don't believe that its primarily as a player that we're signing him its more to do with attitude behind the scenes and developing a better mentality amongst the squad particularly the young players, I doubt he'll play every game but you never know

[Kincardine_Mearns_Red]

He is a cunt. And we need more cunts at the club.

[Redtaz2]

Well, after crippling Watkins this season I just don’t know about this

Aye I was just wondering about the player-side of it all

[WesthillWanderersFC]

The bottom line is 95% of fans are fickle and if we start well & are winning games, all will be well.

The obvious flip side is if we don’t. 
It won’t take long for the anti-Brown comments and feelings to surface

He will truly be a wee lamb when he realises he hasn’t got the man in black on side. Opposition players will be giving him shite from first whistle now that his invisibility cloak is lost.

 

He will then shite it & deliberately get sent off ASAP to get away from them. He’s a wee shitebag in reality 

[Simply Red]

Hes past it imo. 

Although i can see the benefit of having him on the pitch v the cheeks to bring out the best, and more belief in the players around him.

As others have said. We need leaders. He’s one. 

[Clydeside_Sheep]

He is not the player he was, as has been obvious, but still a good signing for us if he is deployed wisely and avoids injury.  He will add grit, experience and leadership in midfield.

While he is in the twilight of his career (and is chiefly coming to get backroom experience) that is the caliber of player we need if we are to progress.

Do we play a midfield v the cheeks ever?
