There's nothing I'd like more than seeing him in the team performing as he did upon his arrival. The odds on that happening must be much against. Think he's just too far gone. Link to comment

muttonhumper Posted May 26, 2021 Share Posted May 26, 2021 Could be, especially if offered, as one would imagine, fairly poor-average terms. Certainly way less than prior ones they signed. Link to comment

People assume that the ooc guys have no other options but there will be some interest in McGinn and Ross. Devlin probably unlikely to be getting many offers in this climate until he proves his fitness but if he's only getting a short term deal here he might scratch around to try and get a 1 year deal somewhere else.

McGinn should have plenty options. He might be past his best, but he'll still do a job for most sides in Scotland. Link to comment

You can see the loon has a bit of talent but as others have said.....the career stats don't lie. Just seems like he hasn't ever applied himself at any point during his career. Talent only gets you so far but you have to work hard to back it up. I'm sure he isn't costing us the earth so that in itself is a reasonable starting position and maybe Glass has a cunning plan up his sleeve for him (30 minute super-sub??). But I'm expecting 2 more strikers to come in minimum, one of whom needs to be a proper name that gets the support fired up...the other a solid back-up who can be relied on for 12 plus goals per season. The most bizarre signing we have ever made? lol Link to comment

aberdeen1970 Posted May 26, 2021 Share Posted May 26, 2021 Greg Leigh the second and third times was far more bizarre. Particularly when we knew his injury issues and weren't even playing a back 4. Link to comment

I'd say Hernandez is only bizarre with hindsight. When we first signed him, no one was complaining about signing someone for a position we needed covered with Logan in steep decline. And although the fee was astronomical for us in recent history, he was a Venezuelan international with 15 caps at that point. Link to comment
Dons79 Posted May 26, 2021 Share Posted May 26, 2021 Not a player but still a signing from Aberdeen patterson the drunk, afc must have known about his bevvy problems?, no due diligence whatsoever! player wise forrester was a waste of time and money Link to comment

Curtis Main was also way more bizarre. Everybody knew he was shite, there was no debate at all there. Link to comment

Other version is that the Dons were fully aware of his antics, was common knowledge in the Highland League community, but Milne thought he could somehow get him on the straight and narrow. Neither version shows AFC is a flattering light tbh. Link to comment
strachanmcgheegoal Posted May 26, 2021 Share Posted May 26, 2021 Another version is we were too busy paying off his Ladbrokes tab to worry about his Vikki Wines shenanigans. I mean, how bad could it be... Link to comment
fine-n-dandy Posted May 26, 2021 Share Posted May 26, 2021 We hoped we could fix him. We were wrong. We have had same mentality rgds some player signings Link to comment

Byrne Baby Byrne Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 Aye signing a forward player who did well against us and scored 9 goals last season is far from Aberdeen's most bizarre signing. It is an absolute textbook Dons signing Link to comment

He hardly got selected the first half of it as he was so unfit He scored 5 goals in 24 appearances.....not a total disaster but no better than underwhelming. He did cause our defenders some trouble I admit........but plenty other bang average strikers did too I'm not saying he will definitely be a crap signing. It might even prove to be inspired. But his past record doesn't fill me with confidence Link to comment
