Nicky Devlin

Announced

[BodDon]

Good solid signing, got him in his prime years. Fantastic, COYR.

[Tord31]

McInnes liked signing captains and Robson going back to it.

I'm happier with this signing than most. I think he's pretty decent.

[Eugenefani]

Solid, the type of signing needed for a busy euro and domestic campaign. 

[CCB III]

Very capable and reliable SP player. For a free transfer it's a no brainer and he should complement whatever foreign gems we find.

[Andy_123]

Anything that moves Richardson down the pecking order for RB is fine with me

[thurso]

I think he will be a good signing and will surprise most people. 
 

welcome to Aberdeen 

[Zeus]

Welcome home.

Hopefully not as injury prone as his first spell with us. Was excellent in his first 3 months

🤦I do hope this is a wind up post

[Tommy]

Minj told me yesterday that this was happening.

Respect.

Can only hope he rediscovers the form that got him capped by Scotland 

[aberdeen1970]

Not one that will get the Hat transfer crew excited due to being 29, unsexy as from our own division and there being no chance of a future transfer or add ons. 

Will likely be steady and reliable performer though. 

[Dandyesque]

So, is he going to be RB or WB? Still interested to understand how Robson will line up next season

[strachanmcgheegoal]

Troublesome position for us.  
More please.

Will be able to do either

Suspect a lot riding on a 3 1 4 2 and particularly who the 1 is.

[Granite95]

2 year deal, solid addition for us, certainly adds good depth to the position

Hopefully pushes Richardson either further down the pecking order/out on loan

[1903Fitba]

2023/24 POTY. 

 

Calling it now

[RedRichard]

I wonder if he's being signed as our 1st choice RB/WB. I think he'd be fine for most league games but maybe less fine for ugly sisters/Europe. 

In his two seasons at Walsall they fiished 19th and then were relegated form League One (obvs not his fault but he was an ever present in that team). He is probably a downgrade on McCrorie. I'd vote for selling/loaning Richardson and still signing a +1 for that right side. Would seem risky to go with Devlin and Richardson as back up.

Aye, agree.

Will be underwhelming if he’s first pick though, as I suspect he will be.

 

[thedandydon]

Ken's whats what in the league, should be a solid enough addition.

[Tord31]

I think its pretty categoric he'll be a first pick presuming mccrorie gets his move away 

[Helmet]

Good solid signing and the type we should look to add a few more of imo.

I'll leave the nitpicking and the pointless fretting over whether he'll play RB or RWB to others. 🙄

[Shinniesta]

Good signing at 29 he's experienced but still young enough that if he does well he could easily stay beyond his 2 year contract. Was captain of a fellow top flight club club and has a bit of a nasty streak in him he's a leader. He'll do well here. 

[Ke1t]

It's fine. 

Not a spectacular signing, but a seemingly solid signing. 

I'd sooner Devlin than some 3rd tier English league player who 'could do a job, maybe'.

Weed out the weaker players and replace them with 'it's fine' signings and we'll improve. Maybe even consolidate 3rd. 

 

 

[Sheeptastic]

With the size of the overhaul coming, Robson will need to add a few low risk, known quantities and Devlin fits that bill.

I suspect there could well be one or two others in this mould too. 

[Bamber]

Like the way they announced it on twitter 😂

[dazzy_deff]

If mccrorie stays could he replace Pollock and Devlin replace McCrorie?
