gkneil Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 Big Tyrone from STV tweeting that the Freddie Woodman deal should be completed tonight. Be good to get that done. Did alright for Killie iirc? I hope Rogers is kept in the side though, bided his time long enough. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrewDon Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 By all accounts, several lower league English clubs have also expressed interest in Woodman, so going to warm the bench at Aberdeen rather than Newcastle wouldn't be of much benefit to any party. If he does sign tonight, I'd find it difficult to imagine that he and Newcastle will not have the guarantee of first-team football from McInnes whilst Lewis is unavailable. My instinct is that, for better or for worse, Rogers will move on at the end of the season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackislekillie Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 Woodman's a very good signing. Very good goalkeeper with a great attitude. Will only get better IMO. Future England keeper. Just needs to communicate more assertively with his defence but there were signs of him doing that towards the end of his loan with us. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couldn't jump without throwing an elbow which made him an utter liability. Three reds in a season, two at key times in key games. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RussellAnderson Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 Woodman signs. I'd be pissed off if I were Rogers. I don't know what else he can really do? File under Joe Shaughnessy as players we've developed but not played. Having said that, Woodman looks a good keeper so hopefully he can be the difference in a few games. He's a World Cup winner ffs! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need two quality keepers in this league. We've got it with Mannus and Clark and it seems to improve them. Also handy when injuries/poor form hits. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gkneil Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 Really feel for Rogers. I realise we need 2 quality keepers to ensure we are not left exposed, just a shame we couldn't get a decent No. 2 in to let Rogers perform the role he was told he'd have. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anotherchance Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 Rogers is still young in keeper terms, not great for him but if Derek thinks there’s a stronger option available (based on what he’s seen himself) then he should leave the sentiment out and do what’s best for the team. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with you, and Roger's has no right to be automatic pick just because Lewis got injured HOWEVER.... If we've got Woodman on assurances that he'll play regularly and we're under any obligation to play him, then I feel that is harsh on Rogers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmontheloknow Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 (edited) Rogers is going to be 24 in a few months time. At this stage, with three full seasons of Championship football under his belt, has he proved to be good enough to play as first choice for the 2nd/3rd best side in the country? Or put it another way - if Joe Lewis had signed for someone else this window, would DM have wanted to go on for here on with Danny as 1st choice? I'm sure the coaching team know what they're doing and if Woodman, exactly three years younger, comes in as 1st choice, it's because they don't see Danny as any other than back-up at this level. Back-up is benchwarming, coming on as a sub and filling in. It's such an important position you cannot bugger about and I suppose there's always the worst-case scenario of DR getting injured and having to rely on the U20 kids. If Woodman is better than Rogers, then sentimentality doesn't come into it. That's football - there's always someone else coming along who wants your place. The recent BT doc on youth development had a great clip with Joey Barton (fud yeah but once a blue moon talks some sense) who talked of going to speka to the QPR youth team and basically said to them "which of you are going to take my jersey off me?"

betting competition Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 (edited) TRANSFER WINDOW In Niall McGinn (Free) Michael Devlin (£75,000) Sam Cosgrove (£25,000) Chidi Nwakali (on loan) Freddie Woodman (on loan) Kenny McLean (on loan) Out Kenny McLean (£200,000) Craig Storie (released) Greg Tansey (on loan to Ross County) Frank Ross (on loan to Greenock Morton) Quite a busy transfer window for us which normally we only sign 1 or 2 players max but think it has been a great transfer window overall. Niall McGinn is looking really good especially the last two matches and looks so refreshed. I'm not sure about Devlin as I didn't see him stand out in the games I've watched but those in the game rave about him so hopefully will be a good signing. Don't get our fans questioning the amount of goals Cosgrove has scored - he has hardly be on the pitch and still a kid. - signed for the future but we lack a plan B upfront and he would provide that with his height (McInnes said he was going to sign next season but decided to take him in early). McInnes has been raving about Nwakali saying the Aberdeen fans will love him so looking forward to seeing him play. We have signed a world cup winner in Woodman - Can't remember much about about his spell at Killie but I think he will get the nod ahead of Rogers (adios Rogers in the summer if so). What a deal we got for Kenny McLean £200,000 and back on loan, so glad we have him till the end of the season as I think he will be a massive miss once gone. Craig Storie looked good a few years ago against Celtic so what a disappointment. Hopefully Tansey finds the form he had when we first come in from him and come back a better player. Frank Ross is one for the future and his loan deal he will become a better player having got the experience in the Championship.

I agree, but if Woodman turned out to be a liability over a number of games then I don’t think Deek would hesitate to bring Rogers back in, regardless of what Newcastle say. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
