Dons_1988 Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 In fairness, I still think stockley was very underrated and had it not been for his wayward elbows would have done well for us. Goodwillie has his moments but realistically has no one to blame but himself for his ultimate failure. Also a lot of those strikers were never signed as first choice, Rooney was so reliable that they were generally an understudy. Zola was signed as a starter and we binned him almost immediately for Rooney. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can twist it whatever way you want, but to me that means his record is poor. Again, its who you brought this into a conversation, not me, before you start this "obsessed chat" shite instead of actually replying. If a team has one player signed by their manager in their team at any one time who is a prolific goalscorer, then that manager has done a great job. Derek McInnes has either had Rooney or Cosgrove in his teams in his six year tenure, bar the first six months until he signed Rooney, and the first five months of last season until Cosgrove fulfilled the potential that our manager saw in him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rodhull Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 So if McInnes is so bad at it what non OF manager is good at signing forwards then? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomGuy. Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 You lot are weird. You bring up a comment I made months ago, call me obsessed for talking about it when I reply to you bringing it up, and now are trying to claim my belief that McInnes' striker signing record is poor is something I've imagined, despite wide agreement only two of the 11 strikers hes signed have been successful. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngusTheBull Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 I also thought Stockley was pretty decent. He was certainly a level above a lot of the other names mentioned and did exactly the job he was brought in to do (act as a target man when needed and chip in with a few goals). So this Hayes and Morgan rumour has came from one Aberdeen gossip Twitter account... must be accurate... Incidentally, Morgan is shite and wouldn’t get in our team. And we shouldn’t be taking Celtic players on loan to develop for them - that can get in the bin. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His reputation - deserved or not - was a big part of why he left, and we got a decent fee for him. The refs up here had it in for him, as did the press. He scored a few goals for us including a couple of peaches, and he is infinitely better than Curtis Main. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact that you know that McInnes has signed 11 strikers is already weird beyond words. If any Aberdeen fan knew that information I'd be giving him a wide berth. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If any Aberdeen fan knew that information I'd be giving him a wide berth. It takes less than a minute to check, its not as if I know it off the top of my head. You had one belief, I had the contrasting belief. I looked up facts to prove my belief, you respond by calling me obsessed and saying I'm tragic. Theres an irony in you spending your night on here getting me into a conversation, then insulting throughout the conversation for being in the conversation, but I'll let you figure that one yourself, no doubt after another post about how obsessed I am with Aberdeen.

He scored 5 league goals in 27 appearances (19 as a sub) which isn’t too bad going for a back-up striker. But yeah, he was finished here as soon as he caught the boy wonder. Tbh he was probably done as soon as he got that totally undeserved second yellow vs Der ***. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthernLights Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 Can we see a list of the goal scoring machines Tommy Wright has signed for St Johnstone? I bet its packed full of some real shite. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you check the Saints thread, you'll also see I claim TW record of signing strikers is abysmal, not entirely sure why its relevant though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
