Tord31 Posted May 31, 2017 Author Share Posted May 31, 2017 Only surprise was it took them this long. 14 names as we expected. Rogers clearly replaces Alexander for next season. After that plenty work to be getting on with Link to comment
King Street Loon Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 McKenna and Harvie to back up the 1st team? Link to comment

Tord31 Posted May 31, 2017 Author Share Posted May 31, 2017 Good point and guess thats for Mcinnes and Rogers to discuss over the summer I think if falkirk had got promoted it'd be a no brainer for him to go back. He's just had 3.5 years out on loan so probably has to stay at pittodrie now you would have thought Link to comment
Tord31 Posted May 31, 2017 Author Share Posted May 31, 2017 From the favoured 19 that ended the season LewisLoganTaylor - need a new centre halfReynoldsConsidineJack - Tansey or a.n.otherShinnieMcGinn - need a right wingerMcLeanHayesRooneyAlexander - replaced by RogersO'ConnorChristie - Christie again pleasePawlett - can see McInnes twisting here and going for an extra central defender or central midfielder instead. Gives more opportunity for Wright and RossStoreyStockleyWrightRoss Link to comment
Bamber Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 I personally think that this is the clear out we could have done with last season Last season it felt like Mcinnes had done the most he could with the players he had - the players gave their all last season and produced their very best This season the outfield 10 has basically been the outfield 10 from last season - again the players have given their all and produced their very best I said it at the end of last season we needed a bit of a clear out - we are fairly predictable in how we will play and good managers are able to nullify our threat. Now we have the chance for the clear out and can hopefully improve and move forward 2 Link to comment

Now we have the chance for the clear out and can hopefully improve and move forward well its convienent weve a chance to replace a centre halfas its a key area we need to improve. Rooney, Hayes and McGinn are all 30 now so its not the end of the world to not be relying on those three but it would be great to hold on to Hayes for a bit longer. Pawlett would have been on a decent wedge and mcinnes had more or less written him off so the money will be used more wisely hopefully Link to comment

Granite95 Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 Out of those leaving I'd say McGinn is who we'd miss most, on his day was one of the best players in our team, sadly his day wasn't consistent enough. Wish all of them well (bar Jack when he signs for the huns). I'd think we've managed to clear up a decent amount off the wage bill so hopefully can make some quality signings to help us for the next season 1 Link to comment
Henry Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 If McGinn was more consistent, he wouldn't have played for AFC for five years. Link to comment

stirlingsheep Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 "He had three years as captain of Aberdeen and has that experience. He also understands what it means to represent Rangers." They will hate him the first OF game when he - yet again - shits it from Scott Brown. Link to comment
RAZOR Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 They will hate him the first OF game when he - yet again - shits it from Scott Brown.Aye, auld lego muncher really will be rubbing his hands at that one. Certainly in no way shape or form a 'big game player'. Link to comment

V for Vendetta Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 Jack will now be an automatic Scotland call-up. No doubt. But then Scotland are shite, much like Sevco. So can't say I care really. Link to comment
Tord31 Posted June 1, 2017 Author Share Posted June 1, 2017 he wont be picked under strachan. Link to comment
fine-n-dandy Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 he wont be picked under strachan.Of course he will if Strachan is in the job long enough. Strachan will select him if only to convince other players at Clubs like us that they have to sign for either arse cheek or down south to get a game for Scotland. I am glad Jack has gone to Sevco as he is not a midfielder that we should fear playing in the slightest & I also wish him all the luck & fortune in his career as I do every other Sevco player.

Tord31 Posted June 1, 2017 Author Share Posted June 1, 2017 Um... strachan will be gone before long Link to comment
fine-n-dandy Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 Um... strachan will be gone before longI hope that is the case but fear it won't be & that is why I said IF he is there long enough. My faith in the SFA having the balls to bin the wee ginger tool is pretty much non existent Link to comment
slinkyvagabond Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 He's a tidy player but no dynamo and it remains to be seen if he will really be missed. We still have Shinnie who is undoubtedly the better player. Link to comment
