Discussion pending for the weekend in case your not talking shite. I’d be astonished and deeply disappointed if we havent got 3 in by Thursday night to cover the bleeding obvious gaps we’ve got, made worse by injuries but which we’ve known about in one case for a year and in the other case since Simms left in May. I have only passed on what I have heard. Certainly not itk myself. That’s what forums are for isn’t it? 🤔 Looking forward to the discussion if it’s necessary.

Then he got a move to AZ and played for the Norwegian national team. You can either see it or you can't. Don't worry if you can't. I’d take him now in a heartbeat, at least the player he was when with us. Cathro damaged his time at Hearts unfortunately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Beni of Gorgie Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 10 hours ago, JimmyCant said: I lived in Aberdeen for about 2 years when it was a thriving party town. That was 20 years ago. It was a great place to live and work and play. Went back for a weekend with old friends last year and it’s a grey soul destroying place, like a ghost town in comparison. All the good boozers gone. Place is filthy and run down. All the money has gone. No danger I’d go back there to live. You were probably in the city centre, only pensioners go by day and kids by night, where I live and work is well above average, schools are all rebuilt modern etc, its easier to get out of the place too Much quicker to eateries around the county. Plenty of great places to eat and drink, not a city centre in this country that is clean tbh, the city centre is in dire need of regeneration this much is true. However on point, if I could live in the States over Aberdeen, I would, winter is biting, and its remote enough that some entertainment is far enough away. Aberdeen gets far more sunshine and less rain than most Scottish cities, usually protected by Grampians, you can look that up, however the wind is biting, give me the South or West USA any day, Aberdeen is merely a village in comparison. Which boozers did you go to by the way? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bozi Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 Can we all just agree on one thing We do not play with 1 striker, we play a front 3 with a number 10 linking the play, honestly I might be a pedant but it's irking me more and more when folk say we only play 1 up front. As for Boyce, I have been hugely frustrated with his regression in front of goal but he was still massively important to our way of playing, our attacking fluidity and our successes. Personally I am not sure Jorge Grant is good enough to play the 10 role if we seriously want to be challenging and replacing Boyce will be tough, the only hope is whoever we get is a bit more clinical in front of goal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks to me as if Gino is very much in Neilson's plans, he definitely adds something that's hard to replace with his pace, and his performances have been very good this season. It's only worth replacing GMS if we an find someone better, and that won't be as easy as some seem to think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has had one good season….the hit the footballing high of the Korean League and is now back in the MLS where he has scored 2 goals in 18 months apparently. You really should have picked a better example to try and justify you’re ludicrous post. Josh Ginnelly……superstar 😃 Perfectly illustrated my point there mate. It wasn't 1 good year. He was very good at Hearts then Cathro ruined his career with us. Very good at Ado Den Haag, gets €1m move to AZ. Very good strike rate at AZ and Rosenberg. Now seems to have fallen away the last couple of years .... Was definitely a much better player than many realised. It will only be now that folks start to appreciate Liam Boyce too ....

We do play with one striker (shankland, but with 3/4 forwards. I guess if you were being open minded you could say we were playing with two strikers (Boyce) although he has been deployed as more of a number 10 in my eyes than a striker (number 9).
