That sums up our recruitment strategy. He's maybe not played, but at least he seems to be fit. Happy enough with getting him back in.

It's time we faced facts. He'll always be a Scotland hero but he's now a complete shadow of what he once was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've needed a proper goalkeeper for about 3 years, this is just another temporary solution that doesn't actually tackle the problem.

sbcmfc Posted August 22, 2019 Share Posted August 22, 2019 I’d say goalkeepers more so than outfield positions can come in out the cold and perform. Provided he’s fit and has the appetite Forster is a great signing. He wasn’t playing regular football when he arrived at parkhead the 1st time and he did ok.

We are hugely guilty as a support of going all dewy eyed when ex players are linked and believing that they’ll perform as well if not better than they did first time around. It’s embarrassing and pathetic. Hopefully he’s signing on a pay as you play basis as I can’t imagine his wages will be small. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shows you what I know. 😂 Regardless, he got called up to the England squad and got a move to the EPL off the back of his performances for Celtic last time, he’s 31, probably peak years for a goalkeeper. I think that’s a good signing. I think both Motherwell goalkeepers are better than Scott Bain and age and injuries have taken their toll on Gordon.

Toepoke Posted August 23, 2019 Share Posted August 23, 2019 Greg Taylor to Celtic for £3m is the rumour from the Record today. Apparently Killie knocked back the initial offer of £6m plus Boli Bolingoli. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

giblet Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 (edited) Hibees sign Melker Hallberg. Swedish midfielder. Classic Hibee signing.

slasher Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 (edited) I see we've signed Bauer (RB) on a season long loan from Stoke 🙄 Meling now looking more likely than Taylor apparently. That and some EPL wannabe on loan and we'll be done. Fuckin brutal Celtic! Edited August 28, 2019 by slasher Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had by far our best spell of the season between October & December when May was being a workhorse behind Cosgrove and was then dropped, never to be seen again because of that utter donkey Stewart. Aberdeen will never be a team that has two 20 goal a season strikers in it, so it wasn’t vital that May wasn’t scoring regularly. #mcinnesoot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His goalscoring record was abysmal. Aberdeen need much better than him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
