Hedge's can't do it all by himself. I might be completely wrong, but I think Jenks is going to be quite an important player for us this year. Typically, when you look on other fans forums, for their opinions on players, I've found that it generally correlates quite well. Brighton fans reckon he's a huge talent and is very creative. The vibe I get is that he's coming up here to play and progress, with a view to fighting for a first team place the following year. As I said, I may be wrong - but I think he'll be handed a chance to supply the ammunition this season. Link to comment

That would leave us woefully short at centre back Gallagher and an ageing, declining Consi as first picks. A guy on a 6 month contract with a sicknote glued onto his right hand as first back-up And as it stands, probably McCrorie whom both sevco and Portsmouth thought not good enough to play the position as the back-up's back up (or shoving an untested youth player into the line up) Link to comment

Strange that we’d offer Robertson a contract then not go for someone else after he knocked it back. I suspect despite what’s he’s saying another centre half, forward and winger could still be possibilities. Link to comment

Have we even had confirmation sick note has re-signed? Short of wingers - We better not be relying on McLennan & Kennedy Short up front - we can’t go the season with two centre forwards.

Fridge Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 Possibly because he was pumping Kennedy Thomson and was late for the bus when we got horsed 5-0 at St Johnstone. Mcliesh and Bett were nae amused. Still one of the best players I’ve seen in an Aberdeen shirt though. 1 Link to comment

Have a read in here: https://www.northstandchat.com/showthread.php?388422-Teddy-Jenks You'll see he seems to be highly rated. Quote Think they’ve got a hell of a player on their hands. Always stands out for the 23s. Thought he might get a sneak at the first team squad but the competition is really fierce - which in itself is amazing. Sounds like he's too good for their reserves, but not ready to break into their first team. Link to comment

Don't know how they could make anywhere near a similar comparison given: Appearances at 1st team level before joining Dons.

TheRock Posted July 1, 2021 Share Posted July 1, 2021 Think that 95 games may include games played for Norwich after he had played for us. He played the majority of games for Norwich after his spell at Pittodrie. Still a lot more first team games than Jenks at the point of joining us though. Link to comment
Ten Caat Posted July 1, 2021 Share Posted July 1, 2021 Maddison had played 24 games for Coventry before signing for Norwich in February 2016 . Was immediately loaned back to Coventry playing a further 11 games. He signed on loan for us in August 2016, returning to Norwich for the second half of the season. Made his debut for them in April 2017. Link to comment

Ditto here min. Some of it got a bit OTT. Had the pleasure of serving him when I worked in Austin Reed on Union Street when he was here as part of the 20th anniversary of Gothenburg celebrations. He was accompanied by a stunning blonde lass. He's a top bloke?. Link to comment
