He wasn't impressive everytime he played us,were u at Hamilton when Haring got a double the 1st game of the season or the midweek game Mikinkovic ran riot?😂

 

Gogic sold the jerseys that night,I watched him twice this season he is garbage.

Just been told Aberdeen have told Curtis Main, Scott Wright and Anderson they can find new clubs. They won't have any players at this rate. They are going for a small squad this season. Wow.

Any thoughts on the Aberdeen rumours about players leaving?

[IveSeenTheLight]

Just hearing about it myself to be honest.

 

Devlin / Bryson -

No big deal to be honest if their contracts are terminated. Devlin started well, but then picked up an injury and never really recovered the same. Bryson has been plagued by injuries as well and been a waste of a wage. I watched him in the game against SevCo and he did a lot of running, intelligently filling gaps, but did absolutely nothing on the ball and failed to initiate anything for Aberdeen in posession.

rumours we are getting in McRorie on a 4 year deal, who will likely give us more than Bryson / Devlin.

 

Main / Anderson / Wright -

Wright is another who flatters to deceive. Never really been able to hold down a place because of his inconsistency and poor decision making. Has bags of skill, potential and pace, but often is too easily dispossessed and prone to hiding in games.

Anderson is a poacher, a good eye for goal, but doesn't appear to suit the 4-2-3-1 formation which is DM's preference

Main is a decent enough back-up striker but I don't think he's happy to fill that role.

Were in an open transfer window, these are all attack minded players, none of these three held down a regular starting spot, so if the idea is to move these three on and open up places for new faces, then that could be good.

 

Logan - 

Was tailing off in his effectiveness. Already replaced by Hernandez and had looked to move on his career by training to be a plumber. Rumoured to be having personal relationship issues (recently married but still rumoured to like to spread it around), so maybe he has a plan to further that with his own "Confessions of a plumber" lifestyle.

Fair doos - I know Anderson is well thought of and was surprised to see his name in the mix.

 

Bryson is someone who we really wanted but dodged a bullet there it seems.
 

Do you think Cormack will try and cash-in on Cosgrove and McKenna??

He looks set to replace Cosgrove at Aberdeen.

 

MASSIVE FALL OUT at Aberdeen. Aberdeen fined the 8 players 4 weeks wages which has caused a lot of upset amongst several players.

 

Bryson AND Devlin have had their contracts terminated. Should be confirmed today. McCrorie has been signed to cover their positions. McInnes and Aberdeen only spoke to the player and The Rangers yesterday and got the deal done. Hibs are furious as they had agreed terms and a deal with The Rangers.

 

Cosgrove and Mckenna have both handed in transfer requests in light of their wage fines. Both will be sold as their is interest in England.

 

Logan, Hedges and McGeough are apparently the others to leave.

 

More news to come. Sound like a lot of trouble for the sheep! Fantastic.

 

 

 

 

If this is true, then fair play to Aberdeen for having the baws to do this. Its all a bit grey area I suppose and I guess a lot depends on what their club stipulated with regards to players going out socialising given the current health risks. I would personally be quite pissed off though if half our 1st team went out in Edinburgh on the night of a defeat to hibs mind. 1st game of the season, beaten off Rangers who the dons have had a hatred for years and throw in the covid situation....why would you want to go on the lash?? Maybe its a reflection of the modern day 'professional' footballer in Scotland?!

In what way? They’re not alike at all, other than Menga’s goal ratio wasn’t great. But that’s why he’d be brought in as backup and for sub appearances.

Anderson is a good goal poacher, scored a barrow load in the reserves, but I just don't think DM thinks he is suited to a 4-2-3-1 formation.

 

I definately think that Aberdeen hope to sell Cosgrove and McKenna.

That was always the plan, but its just about getting an offer that suits. McKenna more likely to go and maybe at a fraction of the price we were once offered. Cosgrove is injured, so who would buy now when more likely to see if he returns fit ahead of the winter window

Thought he returned for personal reasons. But again, I’m not saying we should sign him to score 10-15 goals, I’m saying he’s a different option to the other forwards at the club for if we need to change things tactically. And he’d be willing to be backup, which any goal scorers out there potentially available will not. It would be squad depth on lower wages more than anything.

Surely McInnes should be changing his formation to accommodate the likes of Anderson?!!  We have seen it here when a formation is stuck to regardless of who we are playing/who we have at our disposal and it’s bloody infuriating.

McInnes seems very steadfast / one dimensional / resolute on the ideal formation being 4-2-3-1.

Very occasionally, he tries 3 at the back, but then its more like a 3-4-2-1, which ends up a 5-4-1 when we are pegged back and ends up more defensice than attack minded

Of course I would like someone who would be better, but I was responding to the list that was mentioned only. But we do need to remember we have two forwards who’ll be on decent wages - ridiculous wages for the championship - so if we bring any other forwards in they’ll be there for squad depth so unlikely to cost much. So we can’t expect a prolific goal scorer in our league and as backup.

[jamboinglasgow]

So if the Aberdeen players leaving is true then thats 9 players Aberdeen are looking to chuck. Even if they sign McCorrie and Stewart, they have a first team squad of 18 (including a loan strker out for at least 3 months.) So realistically, they need another 6 players to sign for a good squad. They may have got so many people off the books and got money for Cosgrove and McKenna that they should be fine but in the middle of the first few months of the season that could be dangerous.

 

I wonder if McInnes doesn't get backed by the board to spend after losing so many players that he might leave.

Mikey Smith has played what, half a dozen games as a stand in centre half. Done okay, no major bloopers as far as I remember but better than McKenna ? Entitled to your opinion I suppose

Aaron Hickey will almost certainly  join Manchester City in a permanent deal this window, with the option of loaning back for upto 18 months. The payment from Man City will be in installments and will include a 31% sell on clause to Hearts. Hearts will not pay any percent of his wage if he does return on loan. A left winger is also being looked at on loan from City.

 

Colin Doyle to leave soon. 

 

Interest in John Souttar from Aston Villa, John McGinn has suggested that he is considered.

 

Michael Smith is in the thoughts of several english championship sides, aswell as Rangers.

 

Sam Nicholson desperate to come back to Hearts but has interest from Bristol City & Aberdeen.

 

Robbie has earmarked 6 current players he would like to move on, and is in discussion regarding a player from dunfermline and a loan signing from Arsenal. 

 

3 ex players are currently out of contract and have offered to come back for little or no wages until January. 

 

Keen on a central midfielder who is at Motherwell.
