I'm all for diving as well, every other fucker does it. 100% not this... just because you're currently not good enough doesn't mean you cheat (even if the rules allow you to cheat). It's about morals and standards... unless of course you like way modern fitba is/has gone... brands, projects, 300 grand a week, etc etc etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know Maynard has been hopeless but there must be a better option for next season surely. Don't think he did anything at Hearts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A one in 5 scoring ratio throughout his career and what appears to be some serious attitude issues following him around. I'd be amazed if McInnes was daft enough to take him on. There's a reason he's had 9 clubs in 8 seasons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree about his record and attitude but without doubt would be an upgrade on Maynard. Rooney is also p1sh unless we're completely bossing a game. Probably speaks volumes about our strikers, but i'd consider signing him right now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbcmfc Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 I’ve not listened to his “Si Ferry meets” podcast yet, seems to have got s decent reaction on twitter, so perhaps will give some context to his situation? From the outside he appears a bit of a ned with a poor attitude, be interesting to hear his thoughts. By giving him training facilities Aberdeen will have put themselves front of the queue if he shows he’s still got something... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PASTA Mick Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 Watt is a much better footballer than May. His attitude seems to be the big problem for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Needs to improve his distribution and would benefit from playing next to a steady and consistent partner every week (i.e Not Antony O'Connor). I think with him, Souttar, McCrorie and Hendry, we have a few young CB's with potential to solve a major problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's raw and rugged but unlike the last youth player we had described like that (Zander Diamond) he has a brain which is why he has done well despite playing beside garbage at the back. Distribution could be worked on but not a priority for a CB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't seen him enough to judge. What do you think? Agree with Parky and Drew. Best to have him in and around the Scotland squad now (to at least acclimatise) based on potential alone. Has already captained the Scotland under 19's and under 21's and has that "I'll eat you alive" look to him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With these players and others like McGinn, Docherty, Cummings, Griffiths, Robertson, Tierny as well, all relatively young I think we are in for some exciting times ahead. I would start to look to include as many of these players in the squad (those that aren't already there) as much as possible from now and start to build the team around them. It may hurt us short term but I think longer term will do us good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
