At The Border Guy Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 Charlie Allan has been on Twitter saying a deal is done and a press conference will be held later this morning. Link to comment
Chrisyboy81 Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 Nice one welcome back big Russ! Link to comment
Stoney Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 Do we really need ANOTHER central defender? Link to comment
OneBeboMaguire Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 Meh signing, wingers and full backs please now broon. Link to comment
Dynamo Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 Do we really need ANOTHER central defender? Is Mawene out of contract? Hope so Link to comment
Stoney Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 Headline in the EE today saying he is going for another striker.......... Link to comment
Pudgie Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 http://www.afc.co.uk/articles/20120117/skipper-returns-home_2212158_2579594 Done and dusted lads and lassies! Link to comment
Miglo don Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 Fantastic news, hopefully get back to full fitness and prove all the doubters wrong. Link to comment
Chrisyboy81 Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 Returns as captain must have been decided before Consi was given the armband. Link to comment
Crossbow Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 While I'm sure we all wish Russ well and in many ways this is good news - we are a side not exactly short of centre halfs - is that 4 or 5 we now have? Given our lack of width, please though I am that Russell is fit enough to be offered a job, I'd be really pleased if we could get a few in who know where the edge of the pitch is. Link to comment
muttonhumper Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 Welcome back Russ. Great player for us first time around.Fingers crossed he can overcome any fitness problems he is enduring, and get back to leading the Dons in the manner he was doing before his departure. Link to comment
StandFree1982 Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 Might mean the end of Mawene and/or moving one of the others to LB/RB? I'd imagine it will be Anderson/Considine in the centre. McArdle, god forbid, will probably get put in the RB position with maybe Reynolds at LB? Link to comment
Redstar Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 Bit of a kick in the bollox for Considine..was reported yesterday on the BBC he was to be given the captaincy Link to comment
barassie_afc Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 Bit of a kick in the bollox for Considine..was reported yesterday on the BBC he was to be given the captaincy Was going to say the same RS, strange Link to comment
StandFree1982 Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 Bit of a kick in the bollox for Considine..was reported yesterday on the BBC he was to be given the captaincy I think Considine should remain captain. Anderson can still act like a captain on the field, he doesn't need an armband to show that he's a leader on the park. Link to comment
Dynamo Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 Bit of a kick in the bollox for Considine..was reported yesterday on the BBC he was to be given the captaincy I imagine he'll retain it. Link to comment
Miglo don Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 Bit of a kick in the bollox for Considine..was reported yesterday on the BBC he was to be given the captaincy I'm sure they have discussed this as andersons return has been imminent for weeks now, I don't think this will be much of a "kick in the balls" for considine at all, he should be delighted to have someone of andersons experience next to him. Link to comment
Redstar Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 I'm sure they have discussed this as andersons return has been imminent for weeks now, I don't think this will be much of a "kick in the balls" for considine at all, he should be delighted to have someone of andersons experience next to him. Maybe...quote from Considine yesterday. "The people who have captained this club are legends so it's an absolute honour to be given the armband," said the defender. "My main aim is to try to get the team into the top six where we should be." Could be that Broon forgot he'd made Considine captain...as before who knows what's going on in the heeds of the AFC Managment Link to comment
Dynamo Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 Not very impressed by that Considine quote to be honest. "Top 6 where we should be"...it's not worthy or mentioning the top 6. Back into Europe and Cup finals would have been more apt!! Link to comment

Back into Europe and Cup finals would have been more apt!! Maybe Broon wasn't either...must be the shortest reign in the history of short reigns as captain...24hrs?? Link to comment
StandFree1982 Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 Not very impressed by that Considine quote to be honest. "Top 6 where we should be"...it's not worthy or mentioning the top 6. Back into Europe and Cup finals would have been more apt!!I don't think he meant "let's just aim for top six" I think it's everyone at the clubs goal at the moment in getting us winning games and get us back into a top 6 position where we are in contention for Europe. We are quite a bit away from qualifying from Europe this season, so at least getting us into a position where we've got a chance is a positive surely? Cup Final though.....we should be aiming for that in EVERY cup we play in, domestically at least. Link to comment
K-9 Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 Another centre half in the bag as now Brown looking to bring in another striker to add to top scorer and the two he already signed this season. Link to comment
vanderark14 Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 Do we really need ANOTHER central defender? yes IMO because Mawene is a joke player Headline in the EE today saying he is going for another striker.......... Another centre half in the bag as now Brown looking to bring in another striker to add to top scorer and the two he already signed this season. do you always believe everything the EE says. Its not as if they have never had a misleading headline is it? Link to comment
Stoney Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 EE not the only source, we are looking at some lad from BMG and falkirks top scorer. Link to comment
Nespa Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 Welcome home Russell. Im letting myself get excited about this! COYR!! Link to comment
fine-n-dandy Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 yes IMO because Mawene is a joke player do you always believe everything the EE says. Its not as if they have never had a misleading headline is it? It's not for now but in Summer by the looks, so maybe a pre-contract will be offered for the French/Moroccan boy.i'd be happy if we're after him. He's already said we need a winger & has said he hopes to get one for our next game, so I'm reasonably happy with this cos at least he's finally seeing SOME of our weaknesses in the squad Link to comment

This has to mean that Mawene is off. I Link to comment
Byrne Baby Byrne Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 We are covered for central defenders but not for good ones!! We have leaked goals for fun this season and this will stop with Russell back. Hopefully still get in at least a proper RB before Feb Link to comment
Pash Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 Club captain is different to captain. I reckon Considine will still keep the captaincy. Link to comment
