I’ve downloaded all five episodes to listen to.The most I tend to see if players is when they are playing us so it’s good to hear a broader opinion of players playing in the league from people who watch a lot more of them than I do. Also, yeah I don’t buy into the whole second assist talk. You either assist a goal or you don’t. I always come back to Arfield’s goal against the scum at Ibrox. Kamara plays the pass, Defoe dummies it (taking out a couple of defenders), ball runs through to Arfield, one touch then sticks it away. Last touch before the shot was Arfield himself so is that the “assist”? Or is it the dummy, without which there’s no goal, or is it Kamara’s pass to Defoe which was never completed because Defoe never touched it? Most pertinent question is : who fucking cares? Find this stat culture utterly pointless and a bit sad - more girlfriends, less number crunching is the way to go. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always a gamble. Thing is Jones Barker and Stewart always looked like horrendous signings and plenty on here said so at the time, Kamara always looked a standout and Jack was Aberdeen captain and has improved but I don’t see much else worth taking in the SPFL, I’d maybe take a punt on Lewis Ferguson but not at the money Aberdeen would be after.

But we need more homegrown players for our European squad as we’re pretty restricted due to the lack of them as it stands. Of course, need to contribute rather than just take up a squad place but would expect our recruitment over the next 12-18 months to include a handful of Scottish players, plus some of the academy boys stepping up (Patterson, Kelly, McCrorie & Kennedy) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s definitely a rule that needs looked at, there just isn’t enough Scottish talent for that rule to be feasible in Scotland, it also has a knock on effect if us and the tarriers start hoovering up the best Scottish talent then other sides are going to get weaker and again lowering the standard of the league.

SIRB_72 4,000 Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 If it's a midfielder in the mould of Arfield then surely Lewis Ferguson is a good fit if we're talking SPFL players? Can get himself in the box for goal scoring opportunities, can pick out a pass around the box and works his arse off. His game is nowhere near as crafted as Arfield but he is 10 years younger. He is also dangerous from corners which is useful when we have Tav and Barisic whipping them in, he can hit a free kick and is useful from the penalty spot. I'd also assume that "he gets it". On the face of it he would cost a bit but due to Aberdeen's covid finances along with a couple of players we could dangle the carrot with (Stewart, Jones) why not try and do something just now?

6superbarry6 14,159 Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 Wouldn’t be against bringing in Martin Boyle as a squad player if we could get rid of Barker Jones and Stewart, think he qualifies as home grown as well Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't they have to get a lot less than what they wanted for McKenna a couple of years ago? It obviously has to be the right deal but there is no way we'd pay that much up front for him. However, we should be asking the question unless Wilson and Gerrard find someone elsewhere who has similar qualities. For me Ferguson fits the Arfield mould, perhaps not as well rounded but Arfield has the experience. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
