How? He’s contracted for another two seasons.

This is kind of where I am re this signing

I would have thought the identification of potential players was the responsibility of the the scouting team not a member of JKB

 

I only asked for a suggestion. It's a forum for discussion.

Who’s going to play LB whilst the new guy gets treatment for his latest injury?

[old school tie]

Maybe because Levein's career was cut short through injury, he brings in these broken down cripples?

That’s exactly what it is, he also thinks International caps mean more than they actually do (Oshiniwa,Sammon,Watt,Hughes,Rherras,Struna,Tzolis,Kitchen,Alvonitis,Doyle etc).

Nothing weird about It IMO.If he did have offers from English clubs,I would Imagine they would have been possibly better than ours,In a financial way.Obviously clubs In England know about him,more than up here,so I find It strange he has ended up with us.

 

The same could be said about Uche, or Haring etc.

Surely clubs in Austria must have been aware of Haring before he signed for us. 

Why didn't they sign him?

Boo, shite, piss etc.

A sensible back up signing. Let’s write him off as utter pony before he’s even kicked a ball though. That’s the spirit. 

 

Better than thinking he's going to be good and being let down again. Better to think he's shit and maybe get a pleasant unlikely surprise.

It’s all right to think these things. A good luck would be suffice however, instead of welcoming the new signing with the same old dour negative drivel. 

[stotty]

Sounds like he could be quality if we can get and keep him fit.

That's why I said " maybe". Is their player budget higher - turnover and wage budget don't necessarily correlate.

No idea if their player budget is higher though, all things being equal, you would think it should be. 

[OTT]

For all the people quoting, Amankwaa, Martin and the like, Souttar was also a punt. Aidy has experience playing at a decent level for a pretty big club. It is a punt but he's far more likely to be able to cut it up here than Martin & Amankwaa who came from foreign leagues. 

 

At the moment he's cover and competition for Garuccio, Morrison and Mulraney (Since he can play LB & LM). Have a bit of faith.

Mind that time Craig Gordon was crocked for eighteen months and his career was over? That turned out okay for him.

 

How date you come on JKB, spouting facts that are contraray to the agenda of our Anti-Levein brigade

[jamtartan74]

As ever, when any player signs for us, he will get the full backing from me, so all the best and good luck. However, u have got 20 minutes on your debut to impress or you will feel the full wrath from me, booooooooo hisssss boooooo.

Was just away to reply with similar. Add to that players might look at we have to offer behind the scenes and decide a bit less money for their long term success is a good idea. I mean its only a thought based on all the things that players have come out with about our infrastructure for them but....

[EasternRossco]

I quite liked him at Leeds. Used to be quick from what I remember. Can't believe he's still only 27.

His history is one of continually having injuries. This is one hell of a gamble one that could cost the club a right few quid.

[frankblack]

I look at this thread and see the same group of negative pricks putting down a player before he has kicked a ball for us.

 

The desperation from some people to cause disharmony and put down anything associated with the club is truly sad.  They clearly need to get a life.

[the jambo poet]

Good luck Aidy. You may need it coming here.

 

He may have had other clubs looking at him offering more money but ob a shorter deal. Maybe this is why we have offered him a 2 year deal. Perhaps security is more important than money for the lad at this point in his career.

 

I recall us signing Neil Macfarlane who was seriously injured at the time and was out for a season or so from Airdrie. He turned out ok. Let's get behind the lad.

Could but might not , might be a very cheap deal that works out to our benefit and creates competitiom for places thats needed at LB. 

 

Glass half full or empty as always on here rarely any perspective

We’ll see. He’s been signed as back up. No danger we’ll be shelling out a lot in wages though, we’ve given him a good opportunity to play again. 

 

From his perspective he might feel fit, passed his injury and be looking to nail down that position if he gets his chance. 

 

Its late in the season, we desperately needed another Left back and he was one with experience who was available. I’m sure we wouldn’t have signed him if our physios and doctors felt that his injury would mean he’d be on the treatment table all the time. 

 

He might prove to be shite or a cripple but he also might be a very solid signing. Time will tell but i’d give the lad the benefit of the doubt and hope he can kick on. 

[Rock ‘n’ Roll star.]

Something I haven’t seen mentioned on here is Levein saying he’s been in dialogue with Aidy for a year.

 

That’s bound to make any player feel wanted. If he’s been injury free for a while now, as reported, hopefully he gets himself up to speed for the start of next season and he’s keen to repay the faith shown in him.

Spot on Chester, the constant negative, hand-wringing, pant-wetting, doom-mongers only come on here because, even The Samaritans have, quite rightly, put them on ignore.

Is it because in all other aspects of their lives, personal or professional, no-one ever pays any attention to anything they say, to the extent they have to spout their negative verbal diarrhoea ad-infinitum, just so that they get attention, or any sort of response that is so sadly missing in their pathetic lives?

 

Always remember they are only a small noisy minority on a football forum, and only through constant repetition ad-nauseum, over many threads, gives the impression of a much larger body of opinion than is actually the case.

It's Craig Leveins fault.

He's not been a regular starter under Levein and mentioned in his interview that he's been spoken to about his temper and concentration.

 

We'll now have White, Burns, Garuccio and Brandon who can all play left back. I think Ben will be away in the summer because he'll want to play regularly and we won't guarantee that. 

[Victorian]

Ah the old 'been after him for a year' sales pitch.     It's a cooooo.

[Mad Dog Logan]

Lets give the guy a chance.

 

Good luck and welcome to the Jambos, Aidy.

He might but I reckon we’ll sign another Left back anyway in the summer. Garuccio was originally back up to Mitchell. Given our injury issues, perhaps it’s a good idea to have 3 players in both full back positions.,

Also, Aidy White can play as a left midfielder or winger as well so there’s no reason why we wouldn’t play both of them.

But with his track record and the fact he is not with a club you would think that he would be on perhaps a one year deal with a view to extending if and when he proves his fitness and worth. I know it has been suggested he may not be on big money but it seems a bit over the top with a two year deal.

Agreed. Just trying to think of a rationale. But as you suggest a one year deal with an option to extend would make more senseven if it cost a little more upfront. I can't believe he would have been hard to deal with given his track record.

[adambraejambo]

If he gets himself fit and injury free he will he our best left back by miles. It's a gamble but worth the risk. 

Mitchell rubbish in air rubbish positioning and the heart of a mouse. 

Garrucio is ok in all aspects just does not excel at any in particular.

White can tackle, has pace and dangerous going forward from what I remember.  

Burns I only seen in the league cup games at Tynecastle . Dont know anything about him.

Brandom never a left back. Right back maybe. But that's twice he has seen red for elbowing and we know Levein does not suffer fools gladly. 

Mulraney won't feature much next season. Just be games on bigger pitches when we try and play on the break but even then it will hopefully be as a midfielder. 

[gjcc]

Must have “Played” under Pheckingbottom at Barnsley.

Good luckAidy. Let’s turn your career around and give us a Maybury.

 Utter nonsense, Levein knew all about Souttar mainly because he played in Scotland where he could be watched easily any time rather than signing players on a points scoring system or from abroad based on some video footage and a nod and a wink from an agent.
