I remember years back (20 or so) joking with my mates that Aberdeen were making an audacious swoop for the Doncaster goalie. He signed 6 weeks later but that didn’t make me ITK, it was a mickey take which just happened to come true. 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamboj1 Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 Andy Irving has a lot of interest but Im led to believe a new deal is close and we are very hopeful to get it signed sooner rather than later, Kingsley reopened talks not sure on the progress of that yet. Another 2 expected too move on this week most likely youth loans👍🏻Seen him mentioned on here but stockley was looked at but is close to a move to league 1 in England. Interesting week ahead...

kingantti1874 Posted January 17, 2021 Author Share Posted January 17, 2021 It’s very clear where Robbie is trying to get to. With Ginelly and GMS we are an entirely different proposition. If we can get another striker and an attacking mid we have the basis of a good side. we do need to sort out central defence as well. Would sign O’Donnell myself and put mikey smith in there.. we won’t be able to buy a better CB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baxfee Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 I’ve always stood by players in maroon (even if a bit crap) and want them to be given a fair run in the team. However, have to say that of all those who have left - Clare, bozanic, uche, Washington, hickey etc - they really haven’t been missed. For me this isn’t about them being rubbish I thinks it’s more to do with not having an established style or team identity. I think Robbie is building this - there will be a few dodgy ones (Roberts) but it’s starting to feel better all round Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He realises there is no point in having 5 defensive midfielders but no effective attacking central midfielder. Understands that you need pace in several areas of the park. His signings have been sugar or shite. Gordon, Ginnelly, Kingsley all look great, Frear and Roberts pish. That aside, he’s signed players in positions we actually need filled. That’s the right way to do it. Signing folk like Whelan on an expensive short term deal when we already had defensive midfielders is the wrong way to do it.

Which of course is not a slight on current players or management, they are doing well obviously, just that we are at a much lower standard when it comes to opposition as what the team faced last season. As good as the goals were yesterday, the first two was allowed by space created by atrocious defending and the 3rd was an open goal. I also think those dismissing Roberts have been premature, yes he’s not set the world alight but I think he has talent and will showcase it eventually.

The players who saw us in the relegation spot needed to be shifted though. Lack of heart and team spirit were fairly oblivious for the best part of 2 years.

Yeah, that’s why I said it was a “tad” disingenuous, as changes always need to be made to some extent with a poorly performing team, and a relegated (albeit unfairly) one at that. I also think if Stendel was still in charge he was planning on making big summer changes anyway - on and off the pitch - so we don’t really know what team would have been put out for the 20/21 season whether it be Premiership or Championship if he were still in charge. Out of the players mentioned I would’ve been surprised if Stendel wanted to keep anyone other than Clare. (I think he liked Bozanic but preferred players with years ahead of them, not their twilight) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
