torry_battery_ram Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 Is GMS better than Kennedy? I'd say yes. McGinn also sadly looked finished at this level on Saturday so I wouldn't say no to having GMS back. I do think though we have much more pressing concerns (full back and striker). Link to comment
Tord31 Posted January 4, 2021 Author Share Posted January 4, 2021 GMS has done nothing since he left. Standard McInnes. Link to comment

GMS would be fucking terrible playing where Kennedy is currently being asked to. He's an even bigger fanny than Kennedy. McGinn I agree looks done and has been since he signed but GMS is the same age now as when McGinn came back. An inconsistent fanny who is potentially past it on big wages is a no for me. 1 1 Link to comment
Guest Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 GMS would be more then welcome as a signing. He was our second top scorer behind Cosgrove the season he left. Heres why I think he'd be good: 1.) He's unpredictable. At the moment its easy for opposition defences to suss us out. Pack the box and know that the quality coming in will have to be excellent to find a man. 2.) He's entertaining. Everyone moans about how shit we are to watch, but when there's a possibility we can pick up a gifted winger on a free they moan? 3.) He knows the club, the players etc. Means we won't have someone with that usual bedding in period, especially when we need to get playing well again, fast. It's a no brainer for me. I look forward to watching him in a Dons top again. Link to comment

Hayes clearly is a positive to our team. Hoban is our best defender and so far has confounded the injury prone reputation. Christie was good for us. Taylor .. im not even starting but in a large percentage of games hes solid at this level. Stewart was shite both times. Plenty of managers re-sign players (for better and worse) and as shown above at least 4 of these 6 were good signings in the second spell. Another reason for some to moan. GMS is better than Kennedy and current Mcginn for a start. Well worth signing Link to comment

Well worth signing Your assessment of Taylor is ridiculous couple off standard performances v shite sides is hardly ‘solid’ in ‘a large percentage of games. The 3-0 v Motherwell easily counters a couple of average 0-0s Taylor is not solid at this level. Considine could possibly be categorised as such but not Taylor. Taylor is more often than not a liability waiting to happen at any level. Truly baffles me that ANY dons fans (even the most happy clapping droolers) can ever be even the slightest bit ‘content’ with that joke of a CH in a dons shirt 1 2 Link to comment

North_Andy_Dandy Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 Any idea if Grieg Leigh is due back from injury before his contract runs out? Not sure we should be extending it like as he seems too injury prone but Mcinnes does love an injured player. Link to comment

McInnes has more faith in the hope of injured players returning & improving, than he has in his own abilities to source improvements by finding new players. He has a ready made list of excuses for justifying this attitude. January being the hardest window to find players is always a cracker, cannot wait until he trots this one out again soon. Along with the added benefit of COVID etc. Link to comment
aberdeen1970 Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 It's not just McInnes. There are some fans who think Leigh should be given a long term contract. I'm also guilty in that I think GMS would be a good signing. But I also agree with those who are wary of returning players, particularly ones who blow hot and cold like GMS did. Link to comment

That is a rhetorical question as your answer would only confirm my opinion of you anyway I dont even defend Taylor hugely and i dont think hes all that great. But when someone has an actual mental explosion when his name comes up (you) i find it weird. I dont defend Mcinnes shite either - Greg Stewart for example mentioned above. You have no balance. I do. For some reason seeing some good and bad stuff really winds you up. I find it more amusing than anything when someone hates 99 per cent about the football club he supports (you) . Dont see why you follow it. I want improvement. I see some at times (eg - the broadly accepted fact we were playing good football and winning before injuries and covid kicked in) . I also see shite at times (certain players not always good enough and some stubborn tactics. The problem is some people think criticising every aspect of the club and team (just so they can jump on any that turn out to be right with "i told you so") is in some way evidence of being an individual whose more of a "winner" . I think balance probably is closer to the truth. Some would rather their opinions are justified by those they hate being shit every week. Weirdos 1 2 1 Link to comment

I credit McInnes & even the likes of Taylor when it is earned, the fact it is seldom earned is not on me & I am fairly easily pleased I am not ashamed to admit. Mental explosion lol. Hates 99% about the club lol. no balance lol Such maturity in your arguments lol yes the lols are deliberately ironic 3 Link to comment
thedandydon Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 It just smacks of taking the easy option and lazy scouting. He'd probably do ok but id rather we were identifying players who could potentially lift us up a notch. Is GMS likely to have his best years ahead of him? Doubtful. Wouldn't be surprised if we're looking to cut the budget hence the names being linked, none of which excite. Link to comment
fine-n-dandy Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 Taking Hayes back was a no brainer. Same could not be said of McGinn & GMS as they are comparatively & significantly far worse players in terms of the consistency they brought. Link to comment

Most Dons fans accept he's no great shakes, but aren't so stupid to just relentlessly chastise the guy no matter how he plays. It doesn't seek to serve any purpose. Taylor is part of a backline that has a less than goal per game concession rate. IMO he defends his penalty box well, and generally performs well when he doesn't have the ball at his feet for long. Having said that, he is a bombscare at times, and we should be looking to do better than him long term. I just canna get my head round frothing at the mouth at one particular player when this season there have actually been far worse performers. Joe Lewis, Funso Ojo, Ferguson, Cosgrove, to name a few.

Also worth remembering GMS had his head more or less caved in by Boyata in the 2018 League Cup Final, that curtailed his form for months and took him a while to get over. To this day, I am adamant it's a penalty. You'll never get them at Hampden against those cunts though. Link to comment
