Liam Scales

[Tord31]

He's fine. A very decent spfl level player.

You dont need to pay transfer fees for those though

[Willo flood]

Probably one of his best performances in an Aberdeen shirt today. Not playing alongside Anthony Stewart probably helps a lot tbf

If we're all being totally honest with each other, not one player under Goodwin, could be said to have shown their true potential. We shouldn't lay too much blame at thier feet. The overall atmosphere must have been rank rotten. Training, pre-game analysis, tactics, half time team talk, post match analysis etc etc etc. The man was completely out of his depth at AFC and the majority sussed out some time before the infamous 'bad week', that he wasn't gonna cut the mustard.

Looking back at the painful attempts to harness a working defence each week, was like continually bashing your head off a brick wall. Don't blame Scales.... everyone was made to look complete pish (other than Duk perhaps).

Obviously

Playing against someone other then Stewart (who is complete shite regardless of the manager) has definitely helped him though 

[Studebaker-90]

He was never a bad player, just a product of low self confidence and poor management. Sign him up.

It was quite the opposite really. Goodwin seemed to have an uncanny knack of killing any kind of decent form/confidence in a few players when they started to show any signs of it

I was not a fan of Scales after the initial 6 - 8 week honeymoon period where his form seriously dipped or perhaps better described as fell off a cliff.

He has made me change my mind and eat my words lately now that he is playing in a settled formation with better quality players around him. I would potentially sign him but wouldn't be paying much more than £250-£300k in all honesty.

What about £325k?

Here is a question for you all.

 

How would Stewart be in a Robson team?

 

I'm sure most of the blame for the defensive issues are from Goodwin tactics and mismanagement 

 

 

Getting rid of Vinny on loan could be another.

The fact that Robson shipped him out toot sweet tells you all you need to know.

Well we dont try to pass the ball around our own box anymore so he wouldnt be having that absolute calamity per minute

I thought he was OK on Saturday. Some good stuff, some shaky moments. 

Jury still out.

Some of his high profile errors weren't directly related to passing it out though, for example his ridiculous challenge in the semi final. 

I think he would fare better under Robson but he also seemed to embody the absolute disaster that was the Goodwin era. Given he was captain as well, it was a no brainer to get rid.

He was decent at reading the game and reacting to stuff. When he had too much time to think he was a car crash. 

Or in other words. He sometimes got in the oppositions way. 

[Willo flood]

What a player 

[aberdeen1970]

Best game he's had for us.  Brilliant today 

[TerryMcDermott]

Depending on what the Tattie Tim’s want, we should keep him. Best game in a red shirt today. Smart and composed and showed no fear.

He has improved under Robson, probably because he is not playing along side  Stewart.

[Awayfromhomered]

Fantastic today, even without the goal

If we’re getting £2m for McCrorie, then I’d happily give the Tims a quarter of that for Scales.

[Byrne Baby Byrne]

I’ve always had time for Liam scales. Great player

I'd still be trying to get him for free

He's got no future at Parkhead, we should offer to take over his contract and see if they bite. 

[Tord31]

He was absolute class today.

[tightbreeks]

Yup, good stuff. I thought he's been a bit flakey this season but that goal was a peach.

[fine-n-dandy]

He’s shown multiple times that he has a great touch/finish. Something you can’t teach/learn. If we lose Clarkson, I hope he’s replaced with someone that can put equal quality lofted balls in for Miovski 

 

edit oops wrong thread 🤣

[alscotoz]

His reading of the game today was spot on
