Can't see anyone else being dropped atm. Could be good backup, but not sure if he fits straight into the First Team. -Wasn't debating the wing back personal as they are pretty much guaranteed to be hayes and kennedy when fit. It was the back 3 as in CBs - Leigh offers pace to the back 3 if required. Link to comment

Yes it was, another good player from Ardrossan, still stays here with his brothers Jason and the Rasta, very aggressive family and suffers from mental illness, was one of the first black players to play in scotland Link to comment

V for Vendetta Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 I think he's another useful option and brings something different to the FB/WB/CB area. Hopefully doesn't take too long to get fit. Link to comment

Daft youngsters making a feel o themselves thinking we never had a black player till the 2000's. ? They'll be saying Zeroauli was a "great" next. We've been very inclusive over they years, even had a black lad in ASC back in the day. Had his own song and athin, "we've got a darkie, we've got a darkie, you don't, you dont!".

Didn't see enough of him first time round to fully comment on his ability but the manager must have seen enough to suggest he's worthy of a deal, it's an area we need improving so hopefully this is it.

Parklife Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 Pretty happy with this signing. I liked Leigh first time around. Definitely a position we needed cover in and means there should be no way Considine is ever put at left back again. Link to comment

I know, "Id rather be a corner shop owner of mixed race heritage with political, moral and cultural affiliations equally to both London and Islamabad than a disenfranchised intellectually challenged follower of a Club that Im pretending i didnt let die" is a cunt to sing nowadays as well.

Mr John Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 Excellent. But playing with a back 3 means his playing time may be limited. Full back lives matter... Link to comment

aberdeen1970 Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 McInnes also told us that Dom Ball could play centre mid, centre back and right back. And Vyner The list goes on. Link to comment

The other positions no problem. Decent signing, as much for his versatility & it also means we’re unlikely to see Considine at left back again. Link to comment
