Altho not my favourite Aberdeen player did kari arnason not play U.S collage football to, also davie weir who had a good career at hearts everton and Scotland. Link to comment

Fuck off you tool Is that the best you can do - turn to insults on the internet??? Was MacKenzie playing amateur football?? I suspect we now know who the "tool" is. Link to comment

A chance to give them an academic background if the sports dream doesn’t work out. Collegiate sports in the US are massive and therefore brings the best of both worlds to youngsters rather than having no tertiary education. We don’t have that sort of system in the UK, therefore comparing those two players is completely wrong. But, both of them have to make their professional debuts at some time. The route how they got there is irrelevant. 6 Link to comment

The US national team is made up of 5 or 6 ex college players. Its difficult to make the jump but its not impossible. How much of our players would make national side? I have more hope with this guy than Jon Gallagher or Jack Gurr. Gallagher was 14th pick in draft and I dont event think Gurr was drafted. Dante looked to be one of the first picks if not first. Give the guy a chance! Link to comment

So many of our fans have written him off already. I reckon if we hadn't had Gallagher or Gurr do so poorly at Aberdeen there would be broader support for Polvara. We would all like our signings to be stars but unfortunately the market we are in we are going to see just as many misses as we have hits. 1 Link to comment

Crossbow Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 I have little faith in our manager picking a player. The Gurr debacle is the proof of that however Dante is certainly the type of player we should be targeting. He has a good chance of stepping up and I wish him well - by god do we need him to be the next Zoltan Varga. Link to comment

He's the one who gave Ramsay and McKenzie extended runs, too. But aye. Whatever narrative you fancy. Link to comment

North_Andy_Dandy Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 I’m happy for these loan signings to be terminated but we could end up with a very light squad. We’ve not sold a player yet, so I hope the board don’t wait too long for bids to come in for players as we’ll end up in a scramble for players like last January. Link to comment
