Bournemouth Gee Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 Confident lad, seems fairly grounded too. Great option alongside Rama ? Link to comment
King Street Loon Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 7 hours ago, frankie_mac's_4 said: U-20 international, on a long term contract at Liverpool and at a good age - he should be pushing to make a name for himself now. As someone said though, does this conflict with Connor Barron's starting place? The laddie seems to be a very similar type of player After today, that's up to Barron. He's a fight on his hands to play now. That's good for Aberdeen. 7 hours ago, sooth_stander said: If Jurgen the German recalled the lad from his Blackburn loan because he wasn't seeing any game time, you'd have to assume that the agreement between us and Liverpool is that he gets as much game time here as is possible, or else the same scenario repeats itself. Which leaves Barron where exactly? And Roberts? How long does he have on his contract? Is he highly regarded by Liverpool and in their long term thinking? Or do we have an option to make it permamnant, at the end of the deal? Scattergun approach from AFC this summer, is my assertion of our dealings. We've gone from an all UK and Ireland policy, to an all over 30s stratagee, to a no Jock, multi winger and midfield FIFA Manager game, blocking the progress of our most promising youngsters in the prawcess. I'm away for a lie down before this afternoon's excitement. Zoomer Link to comment
fine-n-dandy Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 Nae bad debut for a lad on just an hrs sleep. Imagine what he can do with TWO ? Link to comment
Geoff_Tipps Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 What a player. If he continues with performances like that he is going to have a far bigger impact than James Maddison had and better career. Absolutely superb. Link to comment

aberdeen1970 Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 Too right. Move Scales to left back and play McCrorie alongside Stewart. At least until Coulson is back anyway Link to comment

As has been already said, no way he drops out of the side after that showing. I'm liking the current formation with only two midfielder and using an attacker in the advanced midfield '10' role. It was probably a bit ambitious at Parkhead but i'd like to see us doing it the majority of the time. I wouldnt want to see us changing the tactics if the four centre mids are all available.

ABERDEENROWIE1903 Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 I am not not keen on loan players but he does look decent. The Connor Rohan potential transfer must be dead now so we couldn't wait any longer we had to bring in a creative midfielder If he turns out to be a Maddison type I won't be complaining Welcome to the famous Aberdeen Link to comment

Schapenneuker Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 Fuck me, but he was good today. Feet on the ground though, having 10 men rocked St Mirren for a while. They would have been more of a pain in the arse with a full team. Onwards to next week. A big chance here to continue the 'put last season to bed' vibe. Link to comment
alscotoz Posted August 7, 2022 Share Posted August 7, 2022 9 hours ago, Sonoftherock said: What a talent and one of the best Don's debuts I've ever seen. Clearly needs to play, but would have to break-up McCrorie and Ramadani partnership.... or do we push him further up? Dictated the play and thought his distribution from the double pivot was different class - think he has to play there... I'd like to see him given a role further up the field. Barron should be a starter when fit. Mcrorie might struggle to hold down a midfield spot Link to comment
beef_sister Posted August 7, 2022 Share Posted August 7, 2022 18 hours ago, graham said: A good contribution.Homegrown players like Ryan Duncan have little chance of a game now. Richard Gordon mentioning in his 'P and J' column that it is entirely possible we could take the field soon with no Scottish players in the starting eleven. Ryan Duncan is one for the future and it's already been stated, I think he'll go out on loan to a lower SPFL or championship side to gain experience, Then come back stronger next season. As for no scottish players, Couldn't care less as long as we are getting results Link to comment

He was a class act and making good moves and passes very soon after coming on.Often an outstanding player will look the part from very early on. Even before his goal Leighton Clarkson was the best player on the park . Billy Gilmour ,busy and lively, taking the ball all the time, is the best comparison and I hope we can continue to enjoy watching young Leighton.Yesterday was one of the most enjoyable days out at Pittodrie for ages.

thurso Posted August 7, 2022 Share Posted August 7, 2022 He was really good yesterday, always wanting the ball and his goal was sublime Link to comment
strachanmcgheegoal Posted August 7, 2022 Share Posted August 7, 2022 If we stick with Mcrorie and Ramadani and Bes as a number 10 is there a danger of us repeating the Madison episode and sticking him out on the wing? Link to comment
