Return On Scott Brown

[Scotty_Toronto]

When we look back at Scott Brown's 2 seasons with us, what kind of a return on minutes played (only) would you consider to be value for the signing? 

38 games x 2, plus cups, plus Europe.

There's the potential for around 100 games there.

Taking sub appearances, recovery days, suspensions and injuries into consideration, what's the minimum playing time you'd hope to get out of Scott Brown?

I think we'd be doing really well to have him play the equivalent of 60 minutes in 65-70 games.

I will be genuinely disappointed if Brown is only here for the playing minutes.

He's not here for playing FIFA, so hopefully it's for minutes on the park! 

[Ten Caat]

I'll be over the fucking moon if one of our other midfielders plays so well that Brown is confined to the bench mainly

I think we will probably see Brown fill the manager’s shoes when another team pays to take Glass from us. I suppose it’s what we will expect since we are winning everything.

Why can this not be in the scott brown thread?

Because this will be edited into the "Turn On Scott Brown" thread when fans get pissed off with shit performances and give him abuse.

Or when @Dad wants to send Scott a wee sexy surprise...

Of course.

We get the leadership, experience, and 'coaching', but the question was specifically about his playing minutes.

At what point would you feel we 'break even'?

I got carried away.

Not trying anything, just telling it the way it is. Scott Brown will be the next Aberdeen manager.

[Redtaz2]

In that respect I think 

1: if we get a return of 40% of game time 

2: an improvement we can see of dare I say hardness particularly against your usual banana skin type fixtures there are too many for me to specify but we have all seen them 

3: our midfielders becoming more imposing , I hope specifically for dean cambell to benefit from this coaching and advice 

it will be difficult however to differentiate between whether it’s glass , brown , or Russell who is actually making the most tangible difference 

essentially I don’t care as long as it’s improvement 

ps don’t get dissuaded by the usual doubters and keyboard warriors you see their content and realise they are ………..

I think he'll be a first pick July to December but I'm not so convinced he'll be playing much beyond that.

Hopefully that is enough to get the Glass era going.

Much like the rest of us, I’m struggling to get used to brown in a dons top. There was always a sense of I’m the biggest boy in the playground so I must be the best at football about him imho - much of the problem with Scottish football.

however , to answer your question, I think he still has much to give, and if he’s determined to play on then, injury aside, I suspect his fitness levels will surprise a few of us. I can’t see him going the full 90 minutes each week; what that means when we are chasing games I don’t know. Seems a bit negative that you can’t rely on your captain when you need him most.

can’t say what return I expect from him over two years, but for coming season I’d like to see him start vast majority of our games. I know we have a lot of depth in the middle of the park which I think might be valuable as Much as I hope brown is good I’m not sure we can count on him always being there.

[maryhilldon]

IMHO - Should be someone else than else than Joe, and Brown will be key leader on park.

Probably this. Definitely his first game v Celtic or Rangers, if not sooner

He's since shaved it off. He's now back to looking like the Scott Brown we all hated.

[strachanmcgheegoal]

Yes, but is he playing like the Scott Brown we all hated
