fine-n-dandy Posted August 17, 2022 Share Posted August 17, 2022 I might have mentioned it before once or twice that we need another CH. It was quite a while ago if memory serves. JG is making just as much a mess in our central defence as Glass did. Seems he thinks his first fix was enough & refuses to admit he maybe should have invested more time/funds there Central defence will come good Link to comment

That was almost 6 months ago. Link to comment
thurso Posted August 17, 2022 Share Posted August 17, 2022 We still need a good exciting creative attacking midfielder who will score a few goals Link to comment

I'd rather he got in another centre half that can cover left centre half and left back so that we can keep Scales in the middle and also allow McCrorie to stay beside Ramadani. Link to comment

Lots of things I’d rather but as far as I can see the one glaring omission from our squad is a midfielder who can link attack and midfield who will also chip in with a few goals. A centre half to cover the odd game will spend most of his time out of the squad Link to comment

Interesting that we need a centre half, a central midfielder and a right back. Who is the one player we have that can play all 3 of those positions? Is the elephant in the room that Ross McCrorie isn't good enough to be a first pick in any of those 3 positions at Aberdeen? Jack of all trades, master of none? 3 Link to comment

The downside for him is we don't have (good enough) cover at centre back Link to comment

The downside for him is we don't have (good enough) cover at centre back He covers a lot of ground, great pace, adds physicality, wins balls in the air and is good at intercepting and okay at tackling. Good attributes for a midfielder. However he is hopeless at passing the ball, which is surely THE key attribute of a midfielder. Link to comment
Glass half full Posted August 17, 2022 Share Posted August 17, 2022 They say absence makes the heart grow fonder. Certainly true in McCrorie’s case of not playing midfield recently. By not playing there some people have built him up to be some kind of essential midfield maestro. Reality is if he’s a central midfielder for 1 of the biggest teams in the country, then it shows how far Scotland is still behind most of Europe. (Although Motherwell and Dundee united have already shown that to be fair) Link to comment

Yeah, but he seems to be struggling to get a move. With a world Cup round the corner and him having no game time or a pre season behind him, he could miss out on what would be his last world cup Link to comment

Don_Corleone Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 Scottish Premiership: Five free agents your club could target - BBC Sport Here's a few still on the free list... Maybe the boy Balogun could shore up the defence, and Rogic could provide some assists and goals. Not sure we could afford either of them though! Wouldn't bother with McGeouch or McNulty and unless Lewis leaves Clark isn't an option either. Link to comment
