Why would you initially feel that Robson's presence in the dressing room would be negative?

 

I know that at one of the clubs he played for, he brought a lot of his teammates down and that was the reason he eventually left.

Brought up a hun then wore Celtic and Dundee United shirts so it's hard to warm to this guy. And he's ginger.

 

He really impressed me in our last 2 games though. Hopefully he keeps it up!

There's also this. Don't trust someone that says they're a lifelong Don but would reject a chance to sign for Aberdeen in favour of Dundee United.

 

Don't get me wrong, I'm glad he's doing well and hopefully he keeps it up.

Did he not have a real problem in his younger days with drinking & getting into trouble off the field, or for being a bit of a ginger hot head? so maybe he wanted to stay away from "home" to reduce the temptations of going out on the piss with family & friends all the time.

 

Just a guess mind but maybe it could be that we didn't approach him, or didn't offer as good a deal as Utd did.

I'm assuming that it can only be this. I know Steve Paterson waited until the very last minute to try and hijack United's attempt to sign him so maybe he felt more wanted by the Arabs?

 

For me though, if you get the opportunity to play for your team then you take it. Regardless of the potential circumstances.

He never has been and never will be a fan of Aberdeen.

 

We pay his wages, he will do his very best for us whilst he is under contract.

But he's never a dons fan.

I can't think of many players who would have been true Dons fans, since most of the teams since the 60s were made up of players from the Central belt and the West of Scotland. Earliest one I can remember would have been Ernie Winchester, a Torry loon, just like myself. I doubt if there have been very many since then.

 

It doesn't really matter as long as they are committed and give their all for the club and the team.

Russel Anderson for starters
