Barry Robson

We could start singing this at Pittodrie again then

Not a hope in hell.

I thinkbelieve if we signed them & unchained them they'd be a massive hit

If I can dream, so can you Bri

 

[fine-n-dandy]

Would be a good move by Milne to keep the customer satisfied

 

[fine-n-dandy]

Come on Bri. be a

[fine-n-dandy]

Just look how well they move together.

 

[fine-n-dandy]

Much as I enjoy the fact that I get to you Bri, I do feel for you sometimes.

 

So here's something for you. Just for you.

 

Hope it makes you feel better.

Was my first though too. However - the story goes - that he's going to be paid next to nothing. Didn't add up for me, particularly as he'll surely have been collecting a decent wedge at Sheff United. However, maybe he just wants to spend some time near his family.

that will please the landlord at the Comercial in Inverurie, another of the Robson clan to add to the clientel!

Pretty gay that you know all these robson & jerome songs FnD

Yeah I have the whole collection of them, on you tube

 

Don't deny you like a little bit of gay songs

[King Street Loon]

My sauce says it's still going to happen.

Fair enough.

I don't doubt you.

 

I just don't understand the logic behind this signing.

 

We're suffering from a chronic lack of movement, creativity and mobility as it is.

Decent cross on him. He probably has looked after himself pretty well. Might be worth a punt.

Not saying he will, but he might be.

[Stoney]

Now on clubs twitter page that hes on our radar........

[Tommy]

A lad was saying he knows his old man and it's practically a done deal.

[Dynamo]

34, left mid.

[gla5gowdon]

Hmm, probably still good with a dead ball and has a good dig. If he looks fit enough in pre-season, don't see the harm in a year deal.

[Byrne Baby Byrne]

Should take him as an individual but I can't help but think back to the success of signing McNamara, Hartley, Rae & Hughes etc... past it!!

[OddJob]

this is the thing

 

i know its an extreme example, but Moravcik is an example of how older players should not all be tarred with the hughes/naysmith brush

 

who knows if it'd work out or not, but comparing him to those signings is just lazy

 

That's a good point mate, however you could just tell he was a class player early doors. Not saying Robson hasn't had his moments but nowhere near the same ability

[360]

Flood and Robson?

 

I think we'll go for Stephen McManus next.

[Edinburgh_sheep]

Brewster was decent for us. Just saying ...

[ollie1903]

We have released every player from the slowest midfield in AFC's history to replace them with someone even slower.

[Dynamo]

Looks like Karl Fletcher's been on a scouting mission http://www.s24su.com/forum/index.php?threads/barry-robson.30297/#post-502309

[Ke1t]

A once-good player who's probably past it and looking for one final pay day to top off his Torremolinos Retirement Fund.

 

Well, it worked before with Jackie McNamara, Paul Hartley, Mike Newell, Noel Whelan, Youl Mawene, Steven Hughes and Gavin Rae, so why WOULDN'T anyone be excited about the signing of Robson, who used to be good and is now 34, will be 35 during the course of next season, and on the decline, with zero sell-on value.

 

I may have to go change my underpants with the excitement if we sign him.

 

No, really, I think it's a great idea.

Heard exactly the same thing.

I know... I know... thats why I'm saying I SHOULD take him as an individual....

 

But with this one I just get the impression he wants to move back home and sees this as his last pay cheque while he does so.

 

He will in fact be signing for us 10 years late... I remember being raging when he chased the Morning, Noon & Night cash to sign for the Arabs

Came across this thread when google searching for the above link... http://boards.footymad.net/forum.php?tno=196&fid=101&sty=2&act=1&mid=2112667757

 

It's actually quite amusing from the tinky bastards and I'm struggling to argue with most of it. I particularly like this comment:

 

"Aberdeen's scouting system involves a boy throwing a dart at old United team photos blindfolded.

 

You'd think after Kerr, Duff and Miller they'd at least remove the blindfold."

[ericblack4boss]

looks like the ranch in inverurie will be adding another Robson to the clientel list then as for comparing him to Moravick i would think thats the biggest complimnet he has ever been paid.

[Dandyesque]

Hmm, probably still good with a dead ball and has a good dig. If he looks fit enough in pre-season, don't see the harm in a year deal.

 

Agree with this

 

As long as he has someome - Flood? to do his running for him in midfield.

 

Gavin Rae I thought was decent in the first half of the season but faded - Robson is technically better than Rae, so hopefully he could have something to offer as well as helping along players like Jack and Smith.

 

I posted a while back that I thought McInnes would bring in a older player or two from the EPL or Championship - I think we can expect another - possibly a goalkeeper

[Huntlysheep]

FFS he's here for one last payday he's done, McInnes is taking a step backwards, hope he's on small wages.

[ChutneyLove]

So potentially: Barry Robson, Willo Flood and Paddy McCourt. You couldn't get an uglier midfield if you tried. Let's go the whole hog and sign this twat ...
