Donnet Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 He sounds like he is probably from the Irish Traveler community...which means he’ll be fucking nails...great signing. Born and bred Londoner. Link to comment
Redstar Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 Born and bred Londoner.Oh well... Link to comment
Andy_123 Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 Never heard of him. Welcome fella. Hopefully his knee holds up if hes needed. Is that 3 guys in the squad now with dodgy knees? Him, Devlin and May? Link to comment
Clydeside_Sheep Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 Irish - tick, over 6ft - tick, ACL Injury and hasn't played in over a year - tick Rubbish? Pending. 1 Link to comment
Clydeside_Sheep Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 Seems to be what we need in terms of right sided cover for defence. Can play CB or RB. And sure he will be intended as cover, at least for now? News suggesting he will be "in contention" for tomorrow eve, but surely not? Link to comment
Clydeside_Sheep Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 This looks a shrewd bit of business. Thats one way to look at it. Another is the "last picked at football angle" haha - but lets be positive and go for the former! Link to comment
boboisared Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 Could also be a positive sign that he's 24 and still on their books. You'd think as an EPL team, they'd have cut their losses a long time ago. 1 Link to comment
Big Hat Logan Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 Seems to have been well thought of and had a bad time with injuries. Also seems very keen to get back on track and do well for us. We needed a right sided defender so happy with this. Link to comment
The Brocher Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 But it's not been working for us has it? If you look back at all the signings you've to go back to Rooney as the only one that's really kickstarted his career again once moving here, possibly Logan too actually, numerous failed experiments outweighing any good.

CalgaryDon Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 Really pleased with this signing. Sounds promising. Link to comment
Mr John Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 Transfermarkt says he has played LB too...versatile defender? Ok. Link to comment
Macski Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 If this lad can get back to anywhere near where he should be then this could be a cracking bit of business! Welcome to the club Tommie. Link to comment
SheepieBaaBaa Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 If he is any good in his backup LB position, that can't be a bad thing either. A bit of irony is that now (with plenty of cover in midfield to free Shinnie up), we have 3 players who can play left back and no cover for Shay at RB. Link to comment
Poodler Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 Wonder where his first ride will come from I'll say BoD Link to comment

A bit of irony is that now (with plenty of cover in midfield to free Shinnie up), we have 3 players who can play left back and no cover for Shay at RB. He is cover for Shay. Can play across the back....I'm sure he'll be at RB for Logan's suspended league games... Link to comment
Macski Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 It seems he's very versatile, he's even played centre mid in a couple of Watfords recent friendlies. DM said he can play anywhere across the back, but if he's a better option for covering LB, then Shinnie can cover RB quite adequately if needed. Link to comment
Donnet Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 Think we'll see him play RB for the games Logan is out and probably become our regular left back. Link to comment
Samac92 Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 Only downside is he can be recalled in January Link to comment
SupportmeansSUPPORT Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 If he is any good in his backup LB position, that can't be a bad thing either. A bit of irony is that now (with plenty of cover in midfield to free Shinnie up), we have 3 players who can play left back and no cover for Shay at RB.If he is right footed as im told he is and he has already shown himself capable of playing at left fullback you would assume that he is also able to play right back if needed so will be able to cover both roles. Garcia the Watford manager had him playing in central midfield against Dusseldorf at the weekend and also in their earlier pre-season game against Cologne although the reports are that he has understandably looked a little rusty after such a long time out. Derek always loves someone who is versatile and willing to play numerous positions. Link to comment
boboisared Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 Only downside is he can be recalled in JanuaryI can't see them deciding he's good enough to play in their first team after 6 months in Scotland. Link to comment
Samac92 Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 I can't see them deciding he's good enough to play in their first team after 6 months in Scotland.Same could of been said when Ward signed and we all know how that turned out Link to comment

Just Dandy Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 Ticks all the McInnes transfer boxes. Irish.Crock.Can play more than one position.Loan.Certainly looking the part. But let's save the champagne till he's safely slotted into the left side of midfield. Link to comment
fatjim Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 Same could of been said when Ward signed and we all know how that turned out Could have also. 1 Link to comment
strachanmcgheegoal Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 So a questionable (in a good way, not a Monokana way) RB to go straight into our three fixtures against Huns Hivs and some other no marks. Good luck loon. Would be good to see Logan kick on too with some competition. Less time acting the cunt. More time being the cunt. Link to comment
1903Fitba Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 Tommie makes him sound a little bit light on his feet. Does he have a lisp? 1 Link to comment
