But let's be honest. Signing strikers makes fuck all Odds (pun fully intended) unless we sign some creative players to actually supply them. It's the area we really need to strengthen. And have done since January. Not since just January, we’ve needed that for two seasons maybe three Link to comment
Dave Bus Posted June 14, 2022 Share Posted June 14, 2022 We’re surely only signing this lauritsen boy , miovski not coming in too. We’d have Ramirez watkins and lauritsen Link to comment

Maybe Ronan could be that guy. All gone quiet on him to diet huns. 1 Link to comment

They’re guaranteed £3m from Europe & apparently coining in £500k from their 3 Aussies at the World Cup. Might still happen I suppose Maybe they are willing to stump it up but he doesn't want to go? Maybe we have agreed to stump the cash up once we sell Ramsay and Ronan decides he wants to play under Goodwin again. We don't know really. 1 minute ago, thurso said: Not since just January, we’ve needed that for two seasons maybe three You're right we have. But it was really apparent 2nd half of last season how clueless we were in the final 3rd. Which makes the decision to sell Hedges for 200k even more infuruating. Hedges isn't a world beater by any stretch but he would have been better than watching McLennan fall over his own feet. Link to comment

Not sure if he’s any good but we should sign the commentator every second word sounded like he was saying fucking ? is that Norwegian for something else Link to comment

fine-n-dandy Posted June 14, 2022 Share Posted June 14, 2022 Watkins is just a reminder of how shite Aberdeen has become. He’s had half a dozen ( maybe stretch it to a dozen at a push) good games over his two spells with us. Most of his ‘decent’ games against shite teams & has stood out as ‘decent’ mostly because there was such a lack of anything close to ‘quality’ anywhere else in the team on those occasions Add the fact he is pretty much a perma/Devlin crock & we have a ‘luxury’ player that often fails to show much quality when he is fit. Get rid. Hopefully he will hobble away at the prospect of another club offering him a 2 year deal & we can free up his remaining wages Link to comment
ThomohawkKid Posted June 14, 2022 Share Posted June 14, 2022 I like Watkins. Problem is he’s never fit long enough to get close to his best. Hedges, Watkins, Wright is best front 3 we’ve had in last 3/4 years. They worked very well together. Link to comment

Lets see how many of the 5 July competitive and 2 July friendlies he manages. Not risked as he is carrying a slight injury that shouldnt rule him out for long will be rolled out before too long Link to comment
RUL Posted June 14, 2022 Share Posted June 14, 2022 Watkins can’t take a tackle and the type of injuries he gets, means regardless of pre season he will be injured more often than not. Link to comment
DelMonte Posted June 14, 2022 Share Posted June 14, 2022 Watkins was superb against Hibs and Hearts earlier this season but it doesn’t happen enough. Link to comment
