dj_bollocks Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 I never remember him being that good - but banged in 20 odd goals for St Johnstone in his last season there.... Currently banging them in for fun for Swansea and just scored against Fulham - so I guess the question is would you have tried to sign him for AFC ? I'm not sure - but he's obviously doing something right ! Link to comment
tutankamun Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 Great goal v Fulham. Swansea look a very good footballing team. and yes, I reckon Jason Scotland would've done a good job at Aberdeen if we had signed him. Link to comment
buzz15afc Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 was just thinking the same thing, swansea are playing very well. always trying to play football, i think there manager will go on to bigger things very soon, dyer looks like a good wee player too... Link to comment
tutankamun Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 Swansea have certainly played Fulham off the park so far and Fulham are a decent EPL side. Link to comment
dj_bollocks Posted February 14, 2009 Author Share Posted February 14, 2009 and to think Swansea were beaten by Havant and Waterlooville last season ! I was there - great night ! Link to comment
Sonoftherock Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 The manager, Roberto Martinez, has an eye for a player.... he's brought in guys like Jason Scotland & Ferrie Bodde, and developed them into very, very effective players. Link to comment

Sonoftherock Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 We could of got him as well! He probably wouldn't have developed into the player his currently is at Aberdeen... same goes for Scotland if we'd signed him. Link to comment

It's interesting. If we'd signed him he probably wouldn't have improved much from when he was at St Johnstone and I don't remember him to be that good a player. Levein has managed to do this well at Dundee United, making players better but we can't seem to do it. Link to comment

minijc Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 We tried to sign Scotland before he left the saints. Link to comment
baldrick_sheep Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 I dont remember him doing anything at utd, but im surprised he didnt sign for us cause it seems to be our policy to sign united rejects Link to comment
jackie_moon Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 I dont remember him doing anything at utd, but im surprised he didnt sign for us cause it seems to be our policy to sign united rejectsWasn't a united reject as they were left fuming when he was denied and work permit to continue playing for them but strangely was allowed to sign for a lower league side in St Johnstone. A lot of united fans still believe there was a conspiracy theory surrounding him not recieving a permit as he'd just scored the winner in the scottish cup semi against hibs only for a committee consisting of life - long hibees to arrive at the decision he wasn't worthy to carry on playing in the SPL. Certainly still irritates the united fans i know. Mind him playing for united against us and pulling off an outrageous piece of skill on the byeline down at tannadice, pretty sure it was richie bryne who had to buy a ticket to get back in after he'd been sent so badly. Struggled at united but that was probably just down to him adapting Link to comment
