mike1234 Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 Found an article on the Evening Express website - out for 3 months with an ankle injury. That’ll be the end of him I would think.... https://wpcluster.dctdigital.com/eveningexpress/fp/sport/football/aberdeen-fc/donsnews/aberdeen-defender-michael-devlin-facing-ankle-operation-and-three-months-out/ Link to comment

StandFree1982 Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 Another 3 months? Bloody hell. He's had it almost as bad as Hoban. 1 Link to comment
Byrne Baby Byrne Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 3 months.... thats about as long as he has looked good since we signed him. Shame for the guy, looked a top prospect at Hamilton. Link to comment

King Street Loon Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 Just bin him. Of no use to us now. 1 Link to comment
WesthillWanderersFC Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 Waste of a decent wage for 80% of his 3 years here. Absolute stick on to be released. Might see a centre half coming in, in January as we only have three really, albeit McCrorie & Leigh can fill in if needed. Link to comment
Big Hat Logan Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 Shame as on his day he’s a really good defender. We must be looking at whole new back line next season. 1 Link to comment

We probably need to bring in 3 centre backs next summer. Which will be fun and games no doubt Link to comment

shut up meg Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 It's a shame for the boy but I had completely forgotten about him until he came on as a sub at half time the other week. Surely even DMC wouldn't offer him another deal next summer. Link to comment

Hopefully Hoban signs on and we can get someone decent in to play alongside him. Considine can be back up. Leigh can play LB and if only we had an international RB.... Link to comment

Poor planning though from a management perspective having to replace your first choice and back up central defenders all at the same time. Doesn't seem to be anyone knocking on the door from the youth system. I still remember the shit show when he had to build an entire new central midfield a couple of years ago. We've only just about recovered from that now. Link to comment

jamiesd Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 Devlin has had some rotten luck, he looked superb at one point. what a shame for the guy and the club Link to comment
aberdeen1970 Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 It's going to be the same with strikers. We're going to need 3 of them as well, possibly as early as January if Cosgrove is sold next month. Link to comment

Injury prone being an understatement though. Both before and during his time here. He was recovering from a serious injury the first 6 months he came here. Link to comment
ABERDEENROWIE1903 Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 Another recruitment disaster It was well documented he had poor fitness record and injury issues Unbelievable we still bring in players with these issues A good wage wasted. Cannot see him coming back But it always going to happen Link to comment
StandFree1982 Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 Devlin looked good alongside McKenna. Anyone wil be made tol look shite alongside Ash Taylor though, Link to comment

I'm not sure Hamilton (or anyone) would even risk him on their lowest first team wage as he's just too often to be found on the treatment table. Pay-as-you-play might be the only solution for him. Wouldn't at all surprise me to see him retire though. Link to comment
aberdeen1970 Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 Pay as you play doesn't exist though. Its a myth. A low basic wage with a high appearance fee maybe. Link to comment

Unless Hernandez turns out to be decent we will need a right back as well. I’m not sold on Leigh either so possibly need a left back. I know Hayes can play there but it’s such a waste of attacking threat. Link to comment
strachanmcgheegoal Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 Good player. A Stopper. Distribution not good enough for our new back 3 thing. Hardly alone in that though. Link to comment
paddy Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 He got called up to the scotland squad a couple of times didnt he? Thats when folk were saying he and McKenna were the next McLeish and Miller. Will be binned in Jan. Link to comment
strachanmcgheegoal Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 Got injured at international training when arguably he was approaching Hamilton form. Link to comment

Surely even DMC wouldn't offer him another deal next summer. The same DMC that resigned Taylor. From a club he was an integral part in getting relegated IIRC? I fucking hate ash Taylor. I wouldn't put it past McHun 1 Link to comment
