Jmothecat2 Posted July 14, 2018 Share Posted July 14, 2018 I'm firmly in the happy clapper situation when it comes to McInnes but alarm bells are ringing with the Rooney situation. May has not impressed me thus far and whilst I think Cosgrove has something it's clear one thing he doesn't have is an eye for goal, the thing Rooney very much does have. Unless we've a proven replacement coming in this one really concerns me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fairness to McInnes, I'd imagine he thought that May would tick both of those boxes. Unfortunately, it hasn't quite worked out like that - yet, anyway. I don't think Rooney has looked nearly as much of a goal threat over the past couple of seasons as he did previously. Of course, people will argue that the service hasn't been there - it is true to an extent, but, if anything, that just strengthens the case for a more rounded striker than Rooney. Indeed, you could even say that he has never really recovered from the injury he sustained in the second half of the 2015/16 season. If he does move, be it to Salford or elsewhere, it will be with my best wishes - he has been good for Aberdeen, Aberdeen has been good for him, and he seems like a genuinely nice bloke. Sometimes your head has to rule your heart, though, and whilst I wouldn't necessarily be opposed to keeping him as a squad option for next season, this might well be the correct time for a parting of ways. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A goalscorer is a very rare commodity. I think our last proper finisher was Stavrum. Trying to find one at our level is quite tricky. Trying to find someone who can regularly get 20 a season and play a bit is even trickier. I'm sure it's occurred to management that such a player would be a good thing. Trying to find, sign and pay that player is a bit harder. If there is anywhere on the park that all round ability is inessential, it's up front. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G-MAN Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 FFS Foden is the hope of the next England generation. They were talking on Talksport last night about him for nearly an hour.

Muzza81 Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 Any one think the pitch was horrendous? Really bad injury though. Hopefully he’s still got a head on his shoulders after it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
