Around Nov/Dec? Or did I dream this? He was decent in the game against The Fermers just before christmas....one of the few clean sheets we had last season. Apart from that...meeeeeeeeeeeh.

fine-n-dandy Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 Who says you cannot Polish a turd ??? Bates was shite (maybe Warsaw can Polish him), slightly less shite than Gallagher. Who was worse than Ash Taylor on one of his worst days. Some on here we’re desperate to see some good in Gallagher. Link to comment

I think we are always desperate to see good in our players, surely? Link to comment
RabidGiraffe Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 What did we allegedly pay for Bates? Link to comment

Depends which way you care to view them really. Most will want this view from beginning & try to be optimistic in a wishful thinking way but some will be more business/realistic like & admit to fk ups/bad decisions earlier & move on. JG’s clear out has been made a hell of a lot easier & less sympathetic (more business like) because he has been able to bin the previous mangers poor mistakes. Link to comment

StevieT1986 Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 Now apparently £200k with £200k in add on and a sell on Link to comment

Helmet Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 So if Bates goes should we expect Dunne as his replacement or a right footed CB? Link to comment

Great window I doubt we're after McGrath now we've signed the lad from County. Seems we are still waiting for Ronan which is fine as long as we have some backup plans. Dunne would give cover at LCB but are we then short at RCB if Bates leaves? Link to comment

Not really, McCrorie is fine covering RCH (and RB) and at some point soon we'll also have to start throwing Milne in to see how he copes when Stewart is unavailable for whatever reason....obv we won't do it against the arse cheeks or the Edinburgh clubs However we are still short of numbers in midfield if we do have to move McCrorie back into defence....changed days from only 12 months ago. 2 Link to comment
Daisy1903 Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 This is why Jim hasn't played him yet in case there were any scouts there 2 Link to comment

Surely if your parent (higher level) club asks you to go to Portugal with them you would go? He isn't going to say I want to come to Aberdeen before Wolves say they won't need him this season is he? Patience. 2 Link to comment
