Chris Benoit Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 Good to hear. How was Alexander? Vocal enough? Tore a strip off Gomis after he lost the ball (his only mistake all game) and gave East Fife a chance. Didn't have much to do though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snoddy84 Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 I`m not sure myself and maybe Dexter will answer you but even if he was in limbo, eventually someone would come in for him. His relationship with Levein, coupled with our stature as a club, no doubt swayed him. We probably got in there fast before anyone did show interest, Yeah I'm not denying that and agree - I was just interested in who we fought off to land him mate.

The_razors_edge Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 Thought the big fella did very well up front. Presumably he's not trained with the team yet otherwise someone ITK would have informed us all? So on the basis of never having met his team mates and being thrust in to the action from the off I was pleasantly surprised. Big, strong, link up play was good, happy to mix up his movement (willing to drop deep and make runs behind) and had a couple of efforts on goal. Just don't let him take free kicks! Gomis was excellent and I'm putting my baws on the line here but I think he'll be our most important signing we make this summer. The whole back 4 strolled through the game and it was pleasing to see Alexander looking to role the ball out at every opportunity (I reckon he kicked the ball a total of about 3 times in 90 mins). I was also very impressed with Gary Oliver. Good movement, very strong for a young lad, great finish for disallowed goal and good header for 2nd goal. Dare I say but I reckon he's better than carrick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snoddy84 Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 Wow. AFC are an attractive proposition. Probably the though of working with Levein again then. I'm thinking that too - CL not only had him at Dundee Utd but also Cowdenbeath and showed belief in him to bring him full time so he's probably hoping he can have the same effect again after a poor couple of seasons.

kylelauren01 Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 Issue with Gomis is he doesn't drive as he struggles with the theory part. His wife has to drive him down or he stays with friends in Edinburgh. This would have made Aberdeen unattractive for him. He has a great relationship with Levein which sealed the deal.

kylelauren01 Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 Sow has not trained with the team so makes any link up play today doubly impressive. I'm hopeful he is the link we're currently missing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don Dan Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 Very impressed with Gomis, Ozturk, Wilson, Sow(even today he shows possibilities). Prince Bauben may need to try a wee bit harder if we sign him. Last years players McHattie Nicholson King Paterson looked comfortable Oliver impressed with both his goals (I'm sure his first was onside). Alexander nothing much to do but what he did do was safe and professional. Man City will be a big test on Friday so Robbie needs to at least pick his best starting 11 to try them out.

Pedro1874 Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 Gomis and Ozturk strolled the game today. Big guy at the back so composed on the ball, his touch and turn in there box in the first half was quality for a big cb. Sow started off slowly but looks a decent player will give us different option upfront, good first touch and held the ball up well. Him and wee Oliver looked good together for 60mins or so before the big man went off. Looking at the dugout when he went off all the coaching staff looked happy with his performance. In general we played some decent stuff...all short sharp stuff. Very optimistic for the season ahead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willie wallace Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 i thought they played really well for about an hour before the game petered out a bit,Kept the ball well with some slick passing and interplay and Sow handled himself pretty well bar the free kick.I am not sure Alexander played the ball long the whole game and we were always trying to build from the back.As others have said it was a stroll for Gomis It seemed like an NFL defence/offence change over at substitution time and i liked the stadium announcer's call that the Hearts fans could figure it out for themselves.Apparently Jack Hamilton was being held back for the penalties. First time at the new ground and was quite impressed.Lovely view from the stand,free parking at the door and a couple of bars thrown in.Not bad at all.

The chat like they've never seen him play... "...he doesn't look all that mobile but decent in the air and I think he will score goals for us." That's the thing. Boyd and of course all strikers are more noticable than midfielders. Also, if they score a couple against you and are top scorers you remember their scoring exploits more than you remember a midfielder bossing games against you. Strikers also feature heavily in highlights (obviously) whereas midfielders don't as much unless they are providing assists. That's what I think anyway. Always aware Gomis and Buaben were very good against us though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snake Plissken Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 Sow looks a player. Obviously not the greatest opposition but he won't have done his chances any harm on that showing. My feeling is he'll be offered a deal if Neilson likes what he sees in training next week. Isn't it great to be talking about the sort of options we'll have next season?
