Well, 4-4-2 with Main and Cosgrove up front, should answer that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lubo_blaha Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 Seems so Absolute wet blankets who clearly aren’t old enough to remember Leon Mike being our No. 9Curtis Main is a diabolical signing. The fact that we used to also have a shite striker has no bearing on this. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Bob Mahelp Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 Despite the rampant criticism, McInnes gets more signings right than pretty much any other manager in the league. He certainly has a much better record than Wright, Levein, or whatever failure happens to be manager at Hibs or Motherwell at any given time. We could sign the 7 dwarfs, play Sneezy in goals and Doc. up front, and we would still finish above St Johnstone, Hearts and the rest of the mid-table dross.

Antiochas III Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 McKenna will be the happiest man in Scotland right now. Only has to deal with Main on the training ground. Fair do's to Main and his agent. Getting two years out of Aberdeen. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fans are already turning on the manager, will state the obvious but he needs to get recruitment correct this season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worth mentioning, with all the gloating about signing better players, you spent more on a fee for Ferguson than St Johnstone have spent on fees in the last 20 years combined. Stevie May earns almost double our highest ever wage. More money you spend, the less risk there is in the signing, I'm not sure its proof McInnes makes better signings than Wright. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely spending more money puts more at risk? But, aye, our signings should be better than yours because of the budget. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah, you generally get better players by spending more money, Aberdeen have consistently, until Rangers appeared, comfortably spent the second highest amount in the league, and SHOCK, have been the second best team. Boasting about some great transfer record McInnes has when hes, at least twice, finished below his budget, is ridiculous. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given that you're always going on about how poor Mcinnes's record at signing players apparently is, I'm not surprised you didn't understand the context of my post. I didn't say anything about signing 'better' players. I said that McInnes has better record than most managers in the league at getting signings right. There's a difference there, which I'm sure you get now. As to 'the more money you spend, the less risk', I'm sure the likes of Paul Le Guen, Ally McCoist, Ronnie Deila etc would disagree with you. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely correct. How much did you lot spend on Bernard and how did that work out? Spending more money is no guarantee of success. Incidentally, who was the manager who signed Bernard? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better players but with higher expectations and more money down the pan if it goes badly. When McInnes spunks (at a guess) £5k pw on James Wilson it is not a lesser risk than Wright spunking (at a guess) £1k pw on MOH. Anyway, I think McInnes is pretty average at transfers in general but probably has a wider range than most, with more brilliant successes and more complete howlers. I reckon the three we have signed so far are probably sharing last season's Wilson budget with some to spare and are a lower risk for it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poet of the Macabre Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 I think if Aberdeen had panicked and signed Main on Deadline Day then most people wouldn't really have made much comment about it. Signing him this early shows he's been a long-term target. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paranoid android Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 When I heard we were interested in Main, I was saying the he doesn't score many goals, but he's a handful. Now he's signed for some c**t else, I'm saying he's a handful, but doesn't score many goals. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
