Tord31 Posted September 2, 2014 Author Share Posted September 2, 2014 It was a disappointing transfer window for most Dons fans but there is positives to be found. Pretty much our whole first XI is tied up on long term deals but there is huge scope for McInnes to make sweeping changes if he wishes as a huge amount of the fringe players are out of contract this season.

Tord31 Posted September 2, 2014 Author Share Posted September 2, 2014 The young players you mention have to be commanding a place in the 18 at least to be considered for a new contract IF they are too old for the u20s Keeper - Rogers has to go some to earn a new contract - looks very very difficult for himDefence- I see Joe, Robertson, Anderson and Murray all leaving as things stand and Consi staying by default because those four defenders leave.Midfield - Storie can stay cos he's young. Robson and Masson to go. Low playing for his future and it is looking good for himForwards - Goodie is on trial, hope Shankland gets his chance and renews. McManus like Rogers has to go some - needs to bang in the goals (doing the biz so far) and get a lucky break to get in the team before the seasons end So yes to Consi, Storie, Shankland. Maybe to Low and Goodwillie. The rest retire/release Link to comment
Dandyesque Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 January Jeff Monakana - no idea yet JuneDanny Rogers - don't know enough about himRussell Anderson - depends on this season but can see him retiringAndrew Considine - depends largely on how good Taylor turns out to be. I would keep him as at least a good back upClark Robertson - never seen him get a run, mainly due to injury. Not sure I will- he must be in the last chance saloonJoe Shaughnessey- like Considine but needs to show up well in his loan spellCraig Murray - keep. Young lad who's looked ok and we need a deputy for LoganNicky Low - same as a few months ago- definitely at least a good squad playerCraig Storie - don't know Jamie Masson - depends on loan- can see him going thoughBarry Robson - as AndersonDavid Goodwillie - the great unknown Lawrence Shankland - keep- seems one for the futureDeclan McManus- as Masson 2016Jamie Langfield - thought he was June- did I miss something?!Scott BrownAsh TaylorShay LoganRyan JackJonny HayesNiall McGinnAdam Rooney 2017Willo FloodPeter PawlettCammy SmithScott Wright 2018Mark Reynolds Link to comment
Tord31 Posted September 3, 2014 Author Share Posted September 3, 2014 Aye you missed him being out of contract June 2014 and being awarded a two year extension before the end of last season. Link to comment
Dandyesque Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 Aye you missed him being out of contract June 2014 and being awarded a two year extension before the end of last season. I certainly did. I was working on the assumption he was in the last year of his contract. How disappointing. Link to comment
Tord31 Posted September 4, 2014 Author Share Posted September 4, 2014 Even more disappointing that both Senior keepers have two year deals. so unless Rogers turns into the next casillas then were u likely to have any other keeper for a couple of years at least Link to comment
Andy_123 Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 January Jeff Monakana - why did we sign this guy? Has he even made the bench yet? JuneDanny Rogers - don't know anything about himRussell Anderson - probably retire, i'd keep him as a coach or something similar if he wantedAndrew Considine - keep, but please play him CBClark Robertson - get ridJoe Shaughnessey - See how he does on loan, probably keep. Never been given a fair shot at CBCraig Murray - keep, looked good any time i've seen himNicky Low - keepCraig Storie - don't know anything about himJamie Masson - get ridBarry Robson - same as RussellDavid Goodwillie - doesn't suit our one up top system, get ridLawrence Shankland - keep, give him a shot in the first team soonDeclan McManus - get rid 2016Jamie LangfieldScott BrownAsh TaylorShay LoganRyan JackJonny HayesNiall McGinnAdam Rooney 2017Willo FloodPeter PawlettCammy SmithScott Wright 2018Mark Reynolds I'd get Jack and Hayes on extensions already as well Link to comment
Tord31 Posted September 21, 2014 Author Share Posted September 21, 2014 A couple more performances like yesterday for Goodwillie and it would be time to consider an extended contract Link to comment
Byrne Baby Byrne Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 Can see Goodwillie being pish and not getting a new deal or excelling and rejecting a new deal. Just can't see him here next season either way! Link to comment

Looking the business. Probably Considine deserves a new contract too - good servant and a handy player to have Monakana yet to start a game? Looks unlikely he'll extend his stay. Link to comment
Byrne Baby Byrne Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 We have no need for Considine unless we're gonna give him a run in his position. IMO Link to comment
Tord31 Posted October 26, 2014 Author Share Posted October 26, 2014 Goodwillie is still the only one would have a think about signing up longer term Link to comment
MMG Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 We have no need for Considine unless we're gonna give him a run in his position. IMOAssuming that this is Anderson's last season, it makes sense in my opinion to offer Considine a new contract and replace Anderson with a proper left back. 1 Link to comment
Sonoftherock Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 Assuming that this is Anderson's last season, it makes sense in my opinion to offer Considine a new contract and replace Anderson with a proper left back. I beg your pardon... A what? Link to comment
Byrne Baby Byrne Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 Assuming that this is Anderson's last season, it makes sense in my opinion to offer Considine a new contract and replace Anderson with a proper left back. Yes. Yes that does make sense. On the basis of having Considine, Anderson, Reynolds and Shaughnessy and not one left back at the end of last season it also made sense to sign a left back and not another central defender. No left back zone at Pittodrie... Even King Jimmy snapped up top left backs like Dan Smith, Ritchie Byrne, Charlie Mulgrew and that Dutch cunt who's name I've forgotten Link to comment
StandFree1982 Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 Nicky Low seems to have dropped out of favour for some reason. He was getting starts and was usually the first player off the bench to come on until recently. Link to comment

V for Vendetta Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 I think its more evolution than revolution thats needed now tbh. Let Anderson and Robson retire. Keep 2 from the 3 of Robertson, Considine and Shaugnessy. Then bring in a quality LB. We will also need an extra leader on the pitch once Ando and Robbo go - maybe a CM with experience and more than anything a steely determination. I also reckon we should be cashing in on one of the older forward players if possible, we need to sell when value is high (relatively speaking) and bring through one of the youngsters: Smith, Wright, etc who are all quite capable and currently being blocked from progress by the number of good attacking players.

the sheep Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 I think we need to take in a left back and a midfielder that can be a captain but has a bit of skill about him. Barry Robson type player but a few years younger. If we use any funds available to bring in quality players above and allow the youngsters to come through and fill the gaps I would be happy. Need to be fast tracking a young left back also. Link to comment

TwoStars Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 Nicky Low seems to have dropped out of favour for some reason. He was getting starts and was usually the first player off the bench to come on until recently. He has had his chance. Proven to be more insignificant than useful. Time to let the youngsters have their chance now. Link to comment
Guest RosemountRed Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 My views on the out of contract players, quite a lot, 13 in total, would imagine a few will have to be released: January Jeff Monakana - Let go JuneDanny Rogers - Sign up on two year extension to replace LangfieldRussell Anderson - See how the remainder of this season goes, possible one year extensionAndrew Considine - Sign up on a one year Clark Robertson - Let goJoe Shaughnessey - UnsureCraig Murray - UnsureNicky Low - Sign up on a one year extensionCraig Storie - UnsureJamie Masson - UnsureBarry Robson - Let Retire, his legs are goneDavid Goodwillie - Sign up on a 3 year extension (NOW)Lawrence Shankland - Sign up on a 3 year extensionDeclan McManus - Unsure Signing Shinnie on a pre-contract in January is also a must.

Tord31 Posted November 23, 2014 Author Share Posted November 23, 2014 Reckon there is no way Monakana is getting an extension in January. Dec will twist on a different loan signing. Biggest priority for the June list is now Shankland imo ahead of Considine and Goodwillie. The fanfare for DG has certainly died down - dont see him getting many big offers if we do leave it off for a bit. I'd sign Consi up for a few more years. Versatile defender that has given his all. Not necessarily as a first pick and a club like us is always gonna struggle for quality when signing squad players Link to comment
dj_bollocks Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 The fanfare for DG has certainly died down - dont see him getting many big offers if we do leave it off for a bit. A team like Motherwell or ICT would have him in a shot.. Whether lesser teams like Midden or Ross County could afford him (St Johnstone already have McFadden) he'd find a home for sure. Would like to see Shankland given his chance. Link to comment
Dynamo Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 I'd be signing up Considine, Goodwillie, Shankland, Murray, Storie, Rogers. Link to comment
