jamle1874 Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 I think Alan Mannus is worse than Hamilton tbh. Zander Clark is the St Johnstone goalie who's way better. I reckon he's the best goalie in the league. Were you maybe thinking of him? Nope defo Alan Mannus, i rate him always impressed when i've seen him. Would have liked Zander Clarke but he just signed a new deal not long back he impressed in the championship season at QoS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IveSeenTheLight Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 . Goalie first. ........Rogers on loan to Falkirk from Aberdeen. Been solid for a while. . Rogers still has another year on his contract and Alexander will be leaving in the summer. He'll be back at Aberdeen as understudy / competition for Lewis next season with an eye on incorporating him into the first team the year after. That said, although Lewis has another year on his contract too, I wouldn't be surprised if he left in the summer and Rogers became the no 1 then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IveSeenTheLight Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 Devlin at Hamilton. Devlin is a great shout, but has another year on his contract. Hamilton seem resigned to losing him and Aberdeen has shown an interest in the past. I would love it if he came to Aberdeen and replaced Ash Taylor. A lot may depend on where Hamilton end up and certainly Hearts may be a big attraction by staying in the Central belt. Hopefully the lure of European football could entice him north A lot may depend on where Hamilton end up and certainly Hearts may be a big attraction by staying in the Central belt.

Musemic Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 I'd like to see us form a 'proper' relationship with a Premiership team which enabled us to have a young player or two on loan each season until such time as our own academy starts to produce first-team ready players. Yes, I know it's not what our 'model' is aiming for - developing other team's talent, but when a team like Celtic, with their already huge advantage, can do it (Roberts and Denayer spring to mind) why shouldn't we?

IveSeenTheLight Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 Break the bank time. But Jack at Aberdeen would be a coup. Would have loved Tansey too as a combative double act. I've heard a wee rumour Jack may be willing to sign another contract with Aberdeen. Maybe suggests there's not a lot of offers coming in from his agent. Wouldn't be surprised if there was an announcement in the week running up to the cup final to give us that double act with Jack / Tansey. It may even release Shinnie to LB, although I do like his energy in midfield Alll in, quote a good and reasonable list of players youve identified there in your post.

All free in the summer That's a pretty decent list. Mannus has been back in the first team, Clark was on the bench, surprising, since Tommy a keeper in his own playing days, was saying he was one of the best. McCormick is a very good keeper, would have been a lot higher in the game but for his jail term. The left backs look better options than the current ones. Meekings and the Ayr right back I don't think have what it takes to be at our level of expectation though. Must admit I don't know anything of Fred from Millwall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IveSeenTheLight Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 Ash Taylor at Aberdeen is one we should push the boat for. Would be a good wee signal of intent that we are ambitious and Aberdeen havent deal with that situation well, he looks a perfectly good centre back to me. I'm not renewing if we sign Ash Taylor. I think Aberdeen are not that bothered he certainly had a stormer against us at Tynecastle. Its not that Aberdeen have not dealt well with the situation, him and his mrs now have a young daughter and they want to move back down south. for that reason, he will leave Aberdeen and I don;t think Edinburgh is far enough south Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A major part of that was Holt getting the better of Taylor and Reynolds and allowing the midfield to get up and support and giving Cummings more space. I have only really seen Holt against us and again on Saturday and we really need a player like that, someone who can hold the ball up, take the knocks and link with the midfield.

Leeds & Lazio Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 Josh Meekings can play right back as well as centre half.
