alscotoz Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 We should pressure the cunts in to signing Messi or and Ronaldo. BTH Typical low level expectations from a Dons fan. Link to comment
rumpus Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 Football is all about opinion. You think he is shite, but a significant amount of Dons fans do not share your view on Kari. If he was the managers signing, which seems to be debatable, then he clearly sees him as having a significant role in the heart of our defence. Young O'Connor and Ball are both bright prospects, but they need an experienced head to guide them through games and sometimes bawl them out when they need it. As Reynolds does not seem to be a natural leader then Arnason should fit the bill. My own view is that Derek is not playing him as he wants a 100% fit player before selecting him on a regular basis. His performance in last nights international showed he is getting there and hopefully he will be the mainstay of our defence before too long. Time as usual will tell. You are correct, time will tell and everyone is entitled to an opinion. Its the gullibility of some which irks somewhat... There's a poster a couple pages back must be the naivest person world falling for a soundbite; 'Kari always looked out for the Aberdeen score after leaving the club..' Of course he did! It was the one that got away, the pinnacle of his journeyman low level career. If I may be so bold to offer a similiar example to highlight my point: I used to go out with a stunner (female), punching well above my weight. I fucked it right up by getting wanked off on the bowling green by a run-of the-mill Mong (female). A rush of blood to the head, just as Kari had leaving us for Rotherham. The looker (female) quite rightly dumped me, but I kept tabs on her (female) just as Kari did with AFC. It's the same principal. Link to comment
Sheepo Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 McInnes didn't want him. We panic signed him but was very much a behind the scenes signing. He won't get much game time.Aye the big bad board used up part of Derek's budget on a player he didn't want at a time when Mcinnes is at his strongest not a chance 9 Link to comment
aberdeen1970 Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 That analogy doesn't make any sense Rumpy .I'm a bit lost with that analogy. Who w***ed off Arnason? Is that why he played so poorly v Hamilton? Link to comment
ericblack4boss Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 I'm getting concerned with the folks agreeing with me on this! Tony Dohertys comments on him at the time were strange. Link to comment

Big Hat Logan Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 Aye the big bad board used up part of Derek's budget on a player he didn't want at a time when Mcinnes is at his strongest not a chanceNot exactly beyond the realms of possibility, is it? Time will tell, hopefully we get a decent season out of him regardless. Link to comment
Reliablesource Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 I can assure you this is exactly what happened. McInnes missed out on 1 target and the club went for Kari. Mcinnes likes to meet all new signings before they sign... that didn't happen with Kari.That's not quite right though, is it? McInnes did miss out on 1 ( or 2 ) before Arnason and has missed out on 1 or 2 targets since. It's also correct that the club were contacted about signing him, we all know that but not without McInness knowledge. He could have refused....He didn't. This is fact. McInnes has not met with all of his previous signings before they signed. The fact is that Arnason was signed as an eager squad filler and not the super star signing that lots of fans fell for. End of story. I wish I hadn't brought it up. Link to comment
Guest RosemountRed Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 He's surely currently better than Reynolds? Link to comment
Big Hat Logan Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 He's surely currently better than Reynolds?McInnes likes a left footed centre half and a right footed centre half. Can't see him dropping O'Connor to accommodate Arnason anytime soon. Link to comment
Reliablesource Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 I know absolutely it's correct.Which part? That McInnes wasn't consulted? I originally suspected, hence my post on 15th July. It's not correct though. Link to comment
Reliablesource Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 And I say otherwise. I am also extremely confident in saying so. Link to comment
ericblack4boss Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 I'm correct in everything I've said.Where were you when I was being chastised four suggesting this. I believe you are correct too Why it was done? And McInnes allowed it to happen I don't know Link to comment
aber Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 Don't care how he's supposedly here, he's a better player than Reynolds, Considine and O'Connor at centre back and should be played from now on that he's fit. Link to comment

boboisared Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 Worth noting that McInnes claims (on what feels like a weekly basis) that you might not play yourself into the first XI in training, but you can certainly train your way out of it. IF he's not putting in the effort then he won't play. McInnes was also burned when he tried too many new faces last season. Our fortunes turned when he played a more familiar line up. We've had a significant turnover of players compared to any other year. If he rates Arnason, he's most likely biding his time. I don't necessarily agree with the 'not his signing' shouts, but I did find it weird that McInnes didn't give a statement to Red Tv/the website at the time. Link to comment
RAZOR Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 Aye it's certainly one of his go to answers. Not only did he not give a statement but he went on to not even mention his name for weeks on end wondering if he was even still there at times. Maybe he's not up to standard... Link to comment

You could be right Bobo, I won't swear to it and can't be bother checking, I just thought I saw something on there. I must admit I find a lot of the stuff on RedTV to be pretty boring and follow that closely whats published. Either way, I am still puzzled by Arnason's non appearance i the team. Link to comment
Ernie McCracken Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 It does seem strange, but then again Mcinnes did play Arnason in the first game of the season and by all accounts he didn't cover himself in glory. Player gets a game, plays shit, gets dropped. It's normal practice in football. Link to comment
shooftahmooftah Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 How do you people know arneson is not putting out at training. Mcinnes got rid of miles storey who was going great at Inverness He comes to Aberdeen he hardly gets a game Reason they say or the super supporters say is his attitude in training He sits on the bench hardly gets a game. Mcinnes now has arneson as number 1 bench warmer. What goes on at Aberdeen football club. No one knows Just the rumour mongers on this chatter box. Arneson is picked for Iceland if he has a great game tonight and still doesn't fit in with Mcinnes something else is going on behind the scenes. 4 Link to comment
Mr John Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 Arni played the whole game for Iceland on Saturday, they lost away to Finland, 1-0 Highlights:https://youtu.be/yoqT7XbfDgU Not finding any player ratings for the game, so not sure how much that tells us, other than, the coaches for an International team, who recently qualified for a tournament and beat England and have more points than Scotland in their qualifying so far, think he is fit to play.

GDON21 Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 Watched the Iceland game and big arnie strolled it. Still looks more than capable of playing at a good level. Composed on the ball always looking to make forward passes from the back. These two games will only help him get ready for coming back to us. 1 Link to comment

Reynolds/Considine especially would have been torn apart by that team. No excuse, except McInnes and his trusted failures, who don't get dropped if they have a bad game. Link to comment

Storey was ok with them and he will probably do ok with Thistle who are shite also. The Dons squad is a huge step up and he couldn't manage it although he had plenty chances. That's not the managers fault ffs, get a grip. The only comparison to be made between these two players is that they were both signed as squad fillers (was, in storeys case). Link to comment
