With all this new tech of studying data on potential new players, I just wonder if it would be more prudent to read fans forums to get an average and Conservative view on players. Granted, you would have to wade through a lot of shite to get to the actual point. However, including fans views in the overall scheme of things might actually prevent signing regurgitated crap. These wee montage of the players good games kind of mask the downsides.

Absolutely not.

As an example, Derby fans had Roos and Shinnie spot on. Various forums had Gueye as a waste before he signed. Morris wasnt missed by his previous club. Yep, we all have different views on players but you kind of get an overall impression on a player from all our bickering.

Fans forums should never be a consideration for recruitment. But eyes on the prize most definitely should.

Oliver Burke's the poster boy for metrics, yet anyone who's seen him play knows he's absolutely shite.

There's a lot to be said for old fashioned scouting.

Watched some of the Airdrie game yesterday and saw their winger beat more men and get more crosses in, in a 20 minute spell, which is more than Morris has done since he came here. Surely, we can find better than what we have. We have no width outlet.

Morris is pish. It’s incredible we are still humouring him with training facilities and occasional appearances.

For some reason under numerous managers we don’t seem to need any winger’s! When was the last real winger who got you up of your feet while attacking defenders and scaring the sh*t out of them

Hayes, McGinn, GMS & Hedges would all make a huge difference to this team. On the form they showed here - not at current ages for the first 3

Hayes for 1.5 season possibly, same McGinn but shows how poor recruitment has been

Seriously? Hayes was unreal 4 seasons in a row before he left. 2013/14 through to 16/17.

If you say so, I obviously don’t fully agree with that. But it’s what a forum is for

Hayes was easily the best player outside the Glasgow 2 before he left. Tremendous player and servant. Even signed a new contract so we could get 1m. Unfortunately hes finished now and probably should never have taken him back.

[The Gee Man]

He certainly had a good season before he got his move

Did he not also forego his wages during covid?

Heard from a Hun acquaintance that the Rat Ryan Jack has been offered a precontract with us to come back in the summer and was apparently meetimg Burrows and Gunn this week. No idea where they got this from or the validity of it either.

Personally think it's a load of shite but wondering if anyone heard anything similar.

Would be worth it purely to hear the Red Shed sing "I want to know when your gonna die" at the snivelling rat bastard every home match

Not a chance.

You shouldn't have a hun acquaintance either.

Hayes was immense for us for years. 

It's a real shame to see him struggling as he is now. Same as McGinn when he came back and Shinnie just now too

Maybe he's a prison officer, how else would you get to know a hun?

Jacks knees are fucked and have been for ages, why he can’t last 90 minutes. Disregard  where he is now he is/was a great player.

I'd put money on him going to Hearts. The perfect match - Prick club for a prick of a man. 

 

[Ten Caat]

He's surely too injury prone for any SPL club to take a chance on? 

Maybe a player-manager job at lower SFL or Highland/Lowland league level?

McInnes will definitely have been on the phone to him and probably gave Hayes a call as well

PLAYERS I WOULD LOAN OUT / SELL:

Gueye

McGarry

Hayes - OOC in Summer, will retire

Morris

Polvara

Besuijen

Duncan

Roos - OOC in Summer, will be gone

MacDonald 

Doohan

Ngwenja - OOC in Summer, will be gone

Richardson - On loan at Colchester who are rumoured to want to make it permanent

Stewart - OOC in Summer, will be gone

 

 

 

I'd also be holding on to Polvara, MacDonald and Doohan as squad players.  

We already need to bring in at least 12 players as it is, and the more we move on the more we have to find and negotiate with.

Well…..that would likely be it for me. I could under no circumstances support an Aberdeen team with Jack in it. Simply unthinkable that the staunch loyal dirty rat fuck could ever wear red again. 
 

No fucking way. Ever. Ever ever in fact.
