Kiriakov33 Posted May 4, 2021 Share Posted May 4, 2021 If he became available on a free and he was reasonable with his wage demands then I would sign him. A full pre season and (hopefully) better players around him he has the potential to be a very good player. At 26 and quite a few clubs he also needs to screw the nut before his career gets away from him. Link to comment
North_Andy_Dandy Posted May 4, 2021 Share Posted May 4, 2021 Kamberi stats so far: 12 games, 1 goal, 1 assist. He is an easy on the eye player when he’s in the mood but I don’t think we can afford to be carrying players for next season. I’d really like us to push the boat out for a striker and really get a quality striker that does the business for us from the start. Link to comment

Kamberi is far too wasteful with possession for a supposed ‘actual footballer’ he probably loses possession more than half the time when he gets it. He is a luxury player that only seems to turn up/impress sporadically. Much like GMS was but arguably GMS was more consistent than him Link to comment

aberdeen1970 Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 Pleased with Gallagher if he comes in. Would like to get some younger players in next though. I know we need new experienced pros with the right mindset but it would be good to get a few in that are in the younger age group as well. Link to comment
Guest Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 Has the "Thumb's" contract extension option been triggered pre the end of April deadline for same? If not would be better signing than Kamberi, purely based on likely goals return. Link to comment

The Thumb to us would be great business. He knows where the goal is. Not a fan of Kamberi in the slghtest. Link to comment

Griffiths can't be arsed getting fit in a season where Celtic are desperate for a striker and there is the potential of Euro 2020 at the end of the season. There is absolutely not a chance Griffiths will come here and give anything above 4% effort 1 Link to comment

I’d be surprised if Celtic don’t want to keep him, even if to just have him sitting on the bench to stop him from playing for anyone else in the league. That’s regularly how they go about their business. Link to comment

He is a luxury player that only seems to turn up/impress sporadically. Much like GMS was but arguably GMS was more consistent than him GMS' stats were actually pretty good when he was with us, a goal every 300 or so minutes. Kamberi's stats however, especially the retaining possession thing, are damning. He is dispossessed 2.5 times a game, which is the worst stat of any player playing in the Premiership this season. In the whole league only Lee Erwin has an equally poor rate of being dispossessed while at Ross County (2.5) although he improved since he went to St Mirren (1.6). The next closest at AFC is Hendry on 1.4, Watkins & Kennedy on 1.2. He also takes 4.8 bad first touches per game, which is the worst stats of any player playing in the Premiership this season. The next closest to him in the whole league is almost as damning as it can be, because it's Bruce Anderson (4.3)... The next closest in our team is Cosgrove 3.5, Hornby 3.2, Main 2.7. He has the highest shots per game of anyone at AFC at 2.2 and yet has only scored once in 536 minutes (8 appearances) for Aberdeen. His average stats suggest that he is the weakest senior player currently at Aberdeen FC; only Hendry is worse if you can class him as senior. Think twice all those suggesting we should sign him; maybe sign him at £500 a week like all the youngsters with comparable stats..... 1 Link to comment

Byrne Baby Byrne Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 Tremendous research, statto. Surely most folk don't even need stats to know GMS was far far far better for Aberdeen than Kamberi? GMS was a good player for us. Nowhere near as good as Hayes before him, but he was a good player when he could be half arsed. Link to comment

Likewise 4.8 bad first touches a game. It's surely more. 1 Link to comment
Ten Caat Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 Hardly surprising he has an average of 4.8 bad first touches per game. When he was playing under McInnes he had to deal with one of the defenders shelling 40-50 yard punts somewhere vaguely in his direction (but also vaguely in the direction of Hazlehead park or the North Sea) He was rank rotten v United (as was everyone else) but he wasn't bad at the weekend. He's got 2 more games to prove to Glass he's worth a contract. I suspect we will probably look elsewhere but if he excels, who knows? Link to comment

aberdeen1970 Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 On the plus side he only loses the ball 50% of the time when he has a bad touch!! Link to comment
