St Johmstone have signed a Finnish player (insert Anti Neimi joke here) and are struggling to get this over the line due to the red tape brexit has caused. I believe they signed him before we signed Devlin. When did australia join the EU?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ericb Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 Popescu is going through the Kickback ritual of becoming a worse player for every time he doesn't play for us. I know he is not a world beater, and we do not another CH in the squad, but he is not as bad as some on here would have you believe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Old Tolbooth Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 Liverpool are looking to strengthen the area Woodburn plays in, and until they do this, then they need him as backup, they'll need him for the next couple of games they reckon.

Semantics. Just trying to make the point the SPFL is a backwater league and this lad who is on the cusp of Liverpools first team, has us playing (signing wise at least) well above our weight. Of course we will have to see how it all plays out. He should be hungry to prove himself which should benefit us. 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was Kilmarnock that embarrassingly lost to Connah's Quay Nomads (a top tier Welsh side, not non-league). I don't remember anyone else getting knocked out by a Welsh team, and you just need to look at the results of the same Welsh/Irish/non-league English teams against Scottish lower league clubs/Premiership B teams in the Challenge Cup to see that that result was an aberration. Aberdeen took 8th-placed Burnley to extra time a couple of years ago and a particularly poor Hearts team almost did the same with Liverpool in 2012, so you might as well claim the Scottish Premiership is EPL level.

He will be desperate to win something, his own piece of Aberdeen legend if you like. I'm pretty sure he would settle for a League Cup, what we have on our side, very sound commercially aware business people, conservative for want of a better word, Dave is a bit of a loose cannon, a maverick. Either way can work, but one is built for the long term, the other is not. He has been hugely successful and fair play to him, but football clubs are different, its not the board room but the pitch things get won. If I was thinking about spunking 500k, it would not be with a rookie manager on a Hibs player. Smacks of desperation based on a bad result in a knee jerk world Nice summary.

Smith, Souttar, Halkett, Haring, Cochrane, Kingsley and dare I say it Halliday (he's been solid enough a LB and LCB). I'd say maybe a rwb (preferably with a bit if pace as I don't think Ginnelly has it defensively) to back up Smith definitely, but honestly I think our priority should be looking at attacking options. Of your 7 above you have listed 1 is a right back, 2 are left backs, 2 are midfielders and only 2 are actual centre backs. Yes most would do a job If called upon if we are stuck in a rut but I certainly wouldn’t want to go into a long season with just 2 centre backs when we play 3 at the back!

Halkett is garbage, we have one decent CH at the club. Halliday has never we played LB for us, just LWB. We need at least one CH better than what we have apart from Souttar. The others are stop gaps.

And even if we don't/are unable to sign an upgrade striker and/or centre half, signing upgrades in other positions (I'm assuming Woodburn is an upgrade on what we already have) is surely an upgrade to the team as a whole. No? I hope so, but our midfield is looking very busy...... time will tell. Best of luck to guy anyway.....! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
