aberdeen1970 Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 Mallan is massively overrated.Nah, Mallan is a good player. He's still only 22 as well Link to comment
Parklife Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 What do you see in Malian specifically?Not saying he's a brilliant player but his shooting from distance is superb. Link to comment
boboisared Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 Not saying he's a brilliant player but his shooting from distance is superb.That's about it though. Looked positionally all over the place against us in the cup game. Link to comment
RAZOR Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 Next season team looking a bit ropey so far Lewis Logan Devlin McKenna ?? Ferguson Gleeson Wright Forrester McGinn May subs: Rogers, Tansey, Cosgrove, Anderson, Campbell,Kinell min. Calmy beans. Link to comment

Sonoftherock Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 What do you see in Malian specifically? I'm certainly no expert on Mallan, but on the few occasions I've seen him, he looks above average in terms of technical ability, neat and tidy in possession and going forward he's obviously a threat. Obviously we all see the goals he's scoring from the highlight packages too! From the handful of occasions I've watched him, he has more upside than Forrester, Tansey and Gleeson (probably put together!) and at 22 y/o, he must have scope to improve. A young scottish player, with a degree of ability and something to work with - I thought he'd have been on our radar. I would be surprised if McInnes hadn't checked him out - so he probably doesn't agree! Link to comment
Hewitt a the pies Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 For what it's worth I agree he fits the identikit of a mcinnes signing But trust me, Gleeson and Forrester are better Just wait a little longer, Forrester especially He's not even on the bench though. Something not right. Maybe he's not settled well? Link to comment
DelMonte Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 For what it's worth I agree he fits the identikit of a mcinnes signing But trust me, Gleeson and Forrester are better Just wait a little longer, Forrester especiallyI'd love for you to be right on Forrester but I completely disagree and I get the feeling McInnes already does too. There's no reason for him to be no where near the team but there he is. He's the ugliest cunt in the squad by miles too. Link to comment
mcdougall(4) Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 There was a story going around that one of our summer signings had been whinging as the club weren't paying his SKY subscription. Could be Forrester... Link to comment
Andy_123 Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/celtic-rangers-aberdeen-rank-britains-13505684#r3z-addoor Apologies for the disgusting link, but it's an interesting graphic on player wages paid by the top 50 teams in Britain. Celtic's spend is ludicrous, £60m. If they hadn't won back to back trebles serious questions would need to be asked of them. Some of the English teams on that list are a joke. Sunderland - £84.4m while in league one. Man Utd - £295.9m and play some of the most boring football you're likely to see most weeks. Link to comment

True_Don Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 aye the rangers spending 12m in transfers and still shite...compared to our £900k. We should be finishing 3rd in the league based on finances. Link to comment

We should be finishing 3rd in the league based on finances. As football is absolutely, fundamentally dictated by finances, 3rd is 'par' for us. No sure exactly what our 'par' would be in terms of the cup competitions? Link to comment
Sonoftherock Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 Semis, obviously Which we have had 7 of in 5 years Over a 5-year period would you expect more than 1 League Cup win... given our spend/budget? Or is 1 League Cup 'par'? You could argue that Rangers have only been properly 'back' for the past 12 months or so... (you could also argue that they're an entirely new team...) Certainly we've not overachieved, given the massive budget at our disposal. 1 Link to comment
Tord31 Posted November 4, 2018 Author Share Posted November 4, 2018 Its looking like a stick on GMS and Shinnie are away if still no news in next couple weeks. Confirmation will be received in early December when DM says fixture schedule just too hectic to sit down with players its something we'll look at in 2019. To be fair to DM 9 matches in December does mean that so you get it done in November Link to comment
Byrne Baby Byrne Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 Shinnie has been shite, by his high standards, recently. Maybe he'll stay when his only offers are from Stockport and Colchester Link to comment

Certainly we've not overachieved, given the massive budget at our disposal.All the time the huns were in the lower divisions they still had by far the second biggest budget in Scotland and had a team generally full of experienced PL level players. And they've won nothing for 7 years despite that large budget. Given that Hearts have only won 3 trophies in the last 56 years and Hibs have won the SC only once in well over 100 years I'd say it would be a tad unfair for anyone to criticise McInnes for "only" winning 1 trophy in 5 years in an era where Celtic's budget massively dwarfs everyone else's. And also considering that until DM arrived at AFC we had only won 1 trophy since 1990. I think it's fair to say 1 trophy is par. We really ought to have won the SC in 2014 though especially after knocking Celtic out at Parkhead. But that's cup football for you. 1 Link to comment

To be fair to DM 9 matches in December does mean that so you get it done in November How complex are contract talks though? They'll know what both players are on, know how much they want to offer, surely it's a case of getting in a room with player and agent and finding out if they want to sign? I don't see how many games we have makes a blind bit of difference in December. Link to comment
