Shaughnessey To Falkirk

[Tord31]

transfer deadline action

[360]

Cheers for that Jim

 

Sky sources say

[fine-n-dandy]

True story

[SkyeDon]

EE saying there's unlikely to be any other business.

[Tord31]

Well considering they said that before the Joe deal too

[V for Vendetta]

Given Andersons injury this is a little surprising to me.

 

Doesn't it leave us potentially a bit short at the back?

[Tord31]

Presumably once we are sure no one is coming in we'll announce this one, announce thats everything and put us out of out misery before 11pm

[CalgaryDon]

With Anderson out for 6 weeks that leaves us with only 3 centre backs. Reynolds, Taylor and Considine whose being played at left back.

[Tord31]

Shaughnessey has never ever started a game at centre back under McInnes tho?

 

also doubt he's moved to centre back during a game more than twice under Dek

[RUL]

He's pish imo, last chance saloon.

[Tord31]

He is better than Robertson thats for sure. By some way. they are both heading for the exit door in June

[dave_min]

Robertson is significantly better at centre-half than full-back.

[TwoStars]

Pity it wasn't Robertson.

[Redstar]

Shaughnessey is a decent player...that said a laddie from Galway is always going to struggle...with a staunch hun calling the shots.

[fine-n-dandy]

Robertson is significantly better at centre-half than full-back.

Pretty sure he'd also be a better manager than a FB because he's a fkn shite FB

[Edinburgh_sheep]

Good move for him in a fairly competitive league. Plus he could earn legendary status if he breaks kris boyds leg if given the opportunity. Good luck Joe

A rare decent post from you.

His debut is home game against said burly marksman

[fine-n-dandy]

Strange move this. Good for him but strange for Aberdeen given that we have just lost Anderson for a couple of months.

Reynolds & Taylor as main pairing with Considine as back up CH & LB.

We are weakening ourselves defensively, when we need to strengthen.

 

McInnes is fast becoming a Clown & being articulate & winning a League cup will not protect him for ever.

[Tord31]

How many games is ando out for - cos I am thinking there is two week international breaks in both september and october.

 

four centre backs is enough. and we have rose or even robertson on top of that

[dekehendo]

surely Joe going and that ither laddie, the ither day, is a sign of someone coming in......

"He is likely to miss the league matches away to Celtic and Dundee and at home to Ross County and Inverness CT, plus the League cup tie against Livingston.

With the break for international football falling in the second week of October, a realistic target for Anderson could be the Premiership match at Hamilton on 18 October."

Ok so five games. We'll be quite unlucky if we get an additional two injuries to centre backs in those games leaving us one short.

 

The shaughnessey as centre back cover story doesnt fly with me. Wouldnt be surprised if he's behind Rose in the pecking order by February

We currently have one decent FB & 3 decent CH's.

That is our defence right now & Robertson does not get a rating in my book cos he's pretty shite

[fine-n-dandy]

I'm just glad we have a decent keeper to direct & protect our defence in Anderson's absence.

[Tord31]

We have four centre backs. Its a squad game Anderson will be back

 

Yep we only have one good full back but thats one more than we had this time last year where Joe and Clark were wearing 2 and 3

We have three first team centre backs & one of them is being used mostly as a LB.

 

Same old shite from EVERY Aberdeen manager.

Nae fkn idea of how to get & use decent FB's (Logan an obvious exception & plus mark for McInnes)

[Tord31]

Aye Consi/Robertson/Hayes/Reynolds will be our options for left back for the Sept,Oct,Nov and December. How many games is it? McInnes is looking at long term project not a short term fix

So why the fuck is he persisting with Robertson?
