Dons_1988 Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 Why would Stewart want to go back? Routinely played out of position by McInnes and struggled to get anywhere near the heights he hit at Dundee and Kilmarnock.I think Stewart himself acknowledges that he wasn’t fit enough and didn’t perform well enough to justify the central role ahead of Christie last season. This season he seems fit and on form so it may just be the perfect fit. Stewart still speaks very highly of his time with us. Still, I’d be surprised yet delighted if this happens. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AM1010 Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 He quite clearly needs a role that allows him the freedom to express himself to get the best out of him, which he obviously wasn't given at Aberdeen or Birmingham. Completely understandable due to the quality of player at both clubs during his time there. Interesting to see how he is used this time round. Quality player if used correctly. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although I'll struggle now to get the oxymoron which is 'hitting heights at Dundee' out of my head. Greg Stewart is a class act. He did look unfit when I saw him playing for Aberdeen, not the same player that did so well at Dundee and Cowdenbeath. Get him fit and you’ll see a different player. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AngusTheBull Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 Stewart is obviously a class player when fully fit even if we didn't quite see it last season. This big issue for me would be how the team, especially our strikers, go back to playing in a 4231 (presuming that's what we do). Playing two strikers has managed to bring out some form in Cosgrove and May - even if there is still a lack of goals in the latters case - and I'm not convinced either can play as a lone front man. The obvious solution to this is Wilson up front by himself I guess though I'm still not convinced by him. Possibly having a creative player in behind the striker might make a big difference with Cosgrove/May though I don't think May will ever be an effective lone front man. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or you could play 4-4-2, you know, like Killie do and are getting the best out of him. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rodhull Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 (edited) I see the Sun is linking us to Huddersfield left back Jaden Brown. Never heard of him before but apparently they just signed him from Spurs. Edit: On loan (obviously).

Brum ask for £400k Agent replies with ok we can sit it out or you can pay us off. All along knowing Dons willing to pay a small fee but prefering instead for him and Greg to pocket it 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tarapoa Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 maybe Russel has pie-smell withdrawal syndrome, like Barry Robson had.Brilliant - there can’t be that many that have a scooby what you’re talking about, but I recall the interview well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

d31 Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 Plenty rumours of that one. Difficult to see it If there is a deal between Aberdeen and Celtic this month surely the smart money is on Hayes (and not McKenna, Allan or Morgan). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
