Shit show of a club.

Very true loon. I'm surprised they are still standing (yeah, yeah, yeah).

No. It's fallen through. Signing for fleetwood instead

Is Fleetwood the new Sunderland

Yeah. Brown is apparently tapping in to our network that he was aware of before leaving to ID signings. Sleekit behaviour, some might say.

I actually always thought McLean, Jack and Shinnie were too similar. All pretty defensive minded. When the 3 of them played it was normally Kenny who played further forward and his shooting was woeful (anyone mind the prematch routine when Sheerin or doc would bounce the ball about the 18 yard line and they took it in turns to try score on the half volley?)

The only difference I saw in them was Shinnie was better in a tackle (got a lot of bookings but he even got them for fair challenges) and scored the odd goal. McLean was better at passing, great engine and scored the odd goal. And Jack. Well he was shite. 5 yard sideways or backwards passes. Used to give hospital passes to the defense then shout at them and shat out of most tackles.

Think he's improved with the wrong uns but I still look at him and think he doesn't do anything well

Blinkered view of the snake to be fair. He was very good for us. Anybody whos played football at any level could appreciate the job he did for the team. The goons who stood in front of me in the South who would berate him every game were absolute dweebs who had never kicked a ball for anybody in their life.

I think the complete opposite.  By way of example, if Ferguson was a top player, he'd have been able to take our bottom 6 games by the scruff the neck and really dominate.  He wasn't able for it.  Time will, but I don't believe he has it in him to succeed at a much higher level. 

I hate Jack, probably more than any player past or present in Scottish football, but he's in a different class to Ferguson IMO.

Do you believe Jack could have taken our bottom six games by the scruff of the neck & really dominate? ?
 

He certainly isn’t a ‘different class’ to Ferguson. That is overrated BS in the extreme. He was by far the worst/most nonexistent player on the park v Frankfurt 

[YorkDon]

Jack was a tidy player, but never a stand out.

He was better for us than a lot care to remember, but as tidy as he was, he was never spectacular.

Not a game changer, or a player that could lift others around him.

As FnD says, not a player to rely on to take a game by the scruff of the neck and pull his team out of the shit in a tough game.

Certainly nowhere near the worst midfielder to play for us, but will never be remembered for anything other than being an Aberdonian hun who was an average player for us.

"We spoke about lazy recruitment – it's very easy to sign players from teams that you play against in your own league."

Seems Jim Goodwin's of a similar mind to many of the fans as far as recruitment goes. Actually quite refreshing to hear.

Is it lazy recruitment or all we can get! If Fleetwood Town are out bidding us we get what’s left

[fine-n-dandy]

Seems there’s a shit ton of work going into our recruitment. Never heard that before. 
Glad they aren’t just throwing out the usual old bs lines ?

Appears he is trying to achieve something Glass didn’t, to try & please the fans.

Sign ALL ten players in one day rather than drip feed the shite as a form of Chinese water torture 

[JamieMT]

It's lazy recruitment if you narrow the pool you're recruiting from to those on your doorstep.

[fine-n-dandy]

Less chance of signing Huns/Tims if we focus more on foreign market ?

Critical part of the team though and carried out his job brilliantly. Every good team has a player who is 'nothing special' on the eye but is appreciated by his team mates. Snake features was that man for us at that time.

Agree Dazzy, like I said, a tidy player.

A lot of times, playing it simple is the best way, breaking up play, and moving it on to others that can do something with it.

The unseen work off the ball also.

Ah yes

 

recycling possession needs to be brought back in as a favourable phrase.  Very under appreciated 

?

’only people that have played would understand’

absolute codswallop

Spot on. Always the out ball, immaculate keeping possession and moving us forward. Nothing flash but absolutely central to McInnes's best side

We get you’re not a fan.I’m not a Jack fan either, but he wasn’t shit.

Usually did a tidy job, no more, no less.

But I genuinely think he was shite for us & we often played far better when he was out. He ‘recycled possession’ ? but often in his desperation to ‘complete’ his shitty wee passes (for his stats), it was at expense of putting his own team mate in danger of being the one to lose possession. Jack was a slope shoulder cunt. I genuinely didn’t like him in the team as his dull form of play spread through the whole side.

I believe he would have offered greater protection to the back line, I believe he would easily have recycled possession and kept possession for us resulting in less balls coming straight back on top of the defence. So yes he would have made a great difference at times. 

Worst player - and you don't let your bitterness get in the way of your judgement. 

Sure ?

A bit like your incessant posts, making the same fucking point over & over & bastarding over, derailing a thread too.

I think the phrase is bitter and obsessed. 

I wouldn't be surprised if he was one of the ones claiming that we wouldn't miss Jack when we signed Tansey.
