Only 22.... He is a month younger than Ferguson and what they have achieved couldn't be further apart. Link to comment

Not everybody has the career they envisage or dream of. He seems like an honest loon to me. Good luck Connor, if you do leave. 8 Link to comment
Studebaker-90 Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 He’s just not good enough. Wish him no ill will and I’m sure he will do a turn for lower league team. 1 Link to comment

Yup, its not as if he hasnt been given a fair crack of the whip either he sowed glimpses of promise once or twice but has woefully underperformed so its time to get him off the wage bill Link to comment

What the fuck are they going to do with him? He'll be part time soon, he's not good enough. Link to comment

Andy_123 Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 Nothing against McLennan, will always have that goal at Ibrox to celebrate, but for his sake as much as ours he needs to go. Clearly miles out the picture here, he needs to be playing regular football at his age otherwise he’ll be seeking a new profession fairly soon. Link to comment
Guest Posted August 10, 2022 Share Posted August 10, 2022 Connor McLennan has only 1 person to blame in his lack of game time & it’s himself. He hasn’t shown anything that would excite any fan or more importantly a manager, his goal against the scum will always be appreciated but he should’ve kicked on from that, instead he hasn’t & that’s why he is where he is now.

ERNIE Posted August 10, 2022 Share Posted August 10, 2022 Think he needs to go on loan to the championship...get regular games.No need fir the vitriol though,he is someone's son after all.. 3 Link to comment

The Ibrox goal being one. I think his best game for us was is when he came on as a half time sub we were 2-1 down at home to Livingston and struggling and he turned the game around. But that was only 45 minutes and it was way back in December 18. Link to comment

I think that's a bit harsh on him. If he's not good enough, then he's not good enough. That like saying I've only myself to blame for not playing for the Famous. He's maybe just playing the best he can, which ufortunately for him and us is not good enough for us. He's a sturdy looking lad. I suspect he always has been for his age group when growing up. If you're big, strong, have reasonable pace in an attacking position you can look decent enough in the younger age groups despite maybe being quite poor. I think that's maybe just caught up with him because at this level, his lack of technical ability seems pretty clear. Link to comment

jamiesd Posted August 10, 2022 Share Posted August 10, 2022 Whilst he scored that cracker at the crumbling dump he also gave one of the worst performances i have ever seen a Dons player produce at Killie in the Cup thriller a few years ago. Time to move. Link to comment

Correct There's an assumption on here sometimes that every player should keep developing and improving and that is often far from the case. Players have their own individual ceilings and rate of development. Blaming the lad for not having the ability is harsh. Different of he wasn't trying but it always appears that he is. 4 Link to comment
MattTheTank Posted August 10, 2022 Share Posted August 10, 2022 Is it definitely a midfielder that Goodwin sill wants in? I've seen him saying one more in but not what position? Link to comment

However if we get to deadline day without having shifted Bates on, I think we might see a bonus ball loan of a young CH come in from an EPL side. We certainly won't be paying up the full near 2 years of Bates' contract but if he sees us bringing in a youngster on loan who also goes ahead of him in the pecking order, he might just start to think getting a year's worth of his contract paid up to fuck off might be worth the gamble.

I think he’ll be happy to sit in the stands taking his wage until end of contract rather than take half his contract wage & get a new club & start playing again. The longer he sits in the stands & doesn’t play, the longer he can pretend he’s a footballer, without playing & proving he isn’t Link to comment

It’s just that he’s not good enough for our first team. And point the finger at McInnes who gave him his last two year contract. 1 Link to comment
zeroisgod76 Posted August 10, 2022 Share Posted August 10, 2022 If McLennan has even the slightest little bit of ambition and the slightest hope he can make it as a professional footballer then he needs to be pushing for a move away from Aberdeen. He's so far out of the picture here, for his own good i hope he moves. Link to comment

It's the same with everyone who either doesn't turn out to be good enough or goes over the hill. We're very quick to turn on our players as soon as we think they aren't good enough. Link to comment

Aye but he's got a contract and his next move is likely to be downwards in some way so he's within his rights to negotiate a pay off if the club want him to leave earlier. Link to comment
