subliminal Posted January 28, 2023 Share Posted January 28, 2023 What a shock - another player that Goodwin didn’t sign vanishing from the squad. Link to comment
DelMonte Posted January 28, 2023 Share Posted January 28, 2023 He’s fucking shite anyway. Link to comment
Zander1903 Posted January 28, 2023 Share Posted January 28, 2023 fights home are quick & easy so cant see homesickness being a reasonable excuse probably more the shite way the club is being run right now Link to comment
Joe pike Posted January 28, 2023 Share Posted January 28, 2023 He is gutless. No heart. Link to comment
strachanmcgheegoal Posted January 28, 2023 Share Posted January 28, 2023 Was it County he’d three men square of him for a vital goal and chose to basically run it out at the near post instead? Never liked him since that. Link to comment
ERNIE Posted January 28, 2023 Share Posted January 28, 2023 Always thought there was a player there.. Link to comment
Dad Posted January 28, 2023 Share Posted January 28, 2023 There is a player there son - Goodwin is a cunt 3 Link to comment

Whether or not his absence from the starting line up is down to not being a Goodwin signing is, however, up for debate. Link to comment
aberdeen1970 Posted January 28, 2023 Share Posted January 28, 2023 Nothing in that story made sense though. There was an inference he was ill so why would he be encouraged to travel if that was the case? Link to comment
REDRODDIE Posted January 28, 2023 Share Posted January 28, 2023 5 hours ago, Helmet said: Harsh assessment of Vinnie imo, seems to have no less "heart" thank most of our other players and I put that down to lack of belief in what they are doing at the moment. Which is a coaching issue. As for can't afford to pay Jim off, there's no evidence we can't afford it, but maybe it's more accurate to say we don't want to piss the money down the drain just yet? I can't see any turnaround happening so I expect Goodwin to be off in a few more weeks, but from what you're saying he'll see out his full contract no matter what happens because we can't afford to pay him off? No chance. Maybe harsh but for half a million pound he’s delivered very little. Not even in the squad today could that be him away? looking through this thread it seems we are split on him some think he’s ok others think he’s not so good. my remark about not being able to afford to pay of goodwin was a little joke . obviously we could afford to pay him aff but it would be pissing away money as you rightly say.

The unknown here is that he has played pretty much his entire AFC career under Jim Goodwin Link to comment
elephantstone78 Posted January 28, 2023 Share Posted January 28, 2023 IMHO. Annoying wee diver. Overrated and we massively over paid. Fine with him being set adrift as long as we recoup at least half the outlay. Link to comment
old sheep Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 Hasn’t shown much to justify the money spent on him so far, but would much prefer he stayed to see how he progresses (or not) under new management. We will be shedding plenty loan players and the likes of Watkins, Hayes and Kennedy in the coming months so there is plenty space for him in the team. Link to comment
DandyWarhol Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 Actually scary to think how much money we've thrown away on the likes of Besuijen who clearly wasn't worth what we paid for him. Should be the end for Mowbray et al. Link to comment
McPhee123 Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 Always thought there was more to come from Vinny, it actually looks a bit like he had some of his creativity coached out of him. Mind the early days of Goodwin, Jim said he could build a squad around him... seemed to drop out when we went to a back 5 and Duk came along. Met the kid a few times, just wants to play football so if he goes today, it'll be because he doesn't see himself getting a game here. Maybe he's jumped the gun by pushing for a move before Goodwin was punted. Will see where we're at at the close of play today I suppose! Link to comment
RedRevolution Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 id play Vinnie before quite a few others. Rarely gives the ball away. Great first touch. Can beat a man. Has scored a few despite patchwork appearances under Goodwin. He has real quality and it would be a huge mistake to let him go. He has more get up and go than Bojan. Link to comment

Hopefully with Goodwin gone the Kennedy love can stop and get Vinnie in from the start and see what he can really do 1 Link to comment

He'd frustrate fans because latterly he'd come on in the 79th minute and want to make an impression... so would end up shooting or trying to skin someone instead of passing. Genuinely believe that if he got 3-4 starts, we'd see the player that first arrived here. Link to comment

His end product is often lacking, but I would say at least some of that has been down to him being a greedy bastard while trying to make an impression in the limited gametime he’s had in recent months. If he’d had the run of games that Kennedy has had I’ve no doubt we’d have seen more out of him. Hope he stays and gets a fresh start with Robson and whoever comes in permanently. Link to comment
Don_Corleone Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 Besoujin has ability... with decent coaching and a run of games in a team where he knows what his role is he would be a quality player at SPL level. Hoping he sticks around and gets another chance - much better than the likes of Watkins, Kennedy, Morris, Roberts etc and I reckon playing in behind Duk and Miovski he'd thrive. 1 Link to comment
sooth_stander Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 We can confirm Vicente Besuijen has joined @excelsiorrdam for the remainder of the season, with the Eredivisie side retaining the option to acquire the player on a permanent basis at the end of the season. Everyone at AFC wishes Vinnie all the best with Excelsior Rotterdam. Link to comment
CCB III Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 A really poor football decision. Be very surprised if we recoup anywhere near the amount we paid. Link to comment
Ramandu Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 Ah no. I thought there was a lot more to come from him, and was hoping we'd see it now that Goodwin's gone. Hopefully he does well and we make our money back. Link to comment
Byrne Baby Byrne Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 A likeable wee fellow but truth be told he’s below standard. Strength of a worm and much like the rest of the squad - a heart like a mouse. If he was immensely talented you could put up with the above 2 but he has only really looked good against part time teams in the league cup groups in the sun. don’t think there’s many players I’d be upset about leaving Link to comment
DelMonte Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 He flatters to deceive more often than not. It’s the level of the other options which is really concerning. Link to comment
