Strong in the tackle and with a decent range of passing, he was just as impressive (arguably more, and whilst playing at a higher level) as Scott Martin who we had on loan in League One, and has since been a regular for Hamilton. Won a good few MOTM awards over the course of the season, and picked up the club & supporters club YPOTY too. In January there were strong rumours McInnes wanted to recall him from his loan, so I wouldn’t be surprised if he featured for Aberdeen next season. If not, would absolutely love to have him back. I would be stunned if he gets even a slight chance unfortunately. Would love us to develop him but we are overloaded at centre mid and right back 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doubt it, He will be way down the pecking order. I expect him to be loaned out again. Don't mind if he goes back to Arbroath. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did he play exclusively CM for Arbroath? Interesting to know if he had the attributes to play at CB, McInnes does love a utility player. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that it matters, but his brother was janitor at my primary school. Also had fantastic reflexes, it was like being clipped round the ear by a ghost. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Each game awful to watch. It will come to an end soon. It does however get away for the main topic I responded too, Findlay is a far superior footballer than McKenna. As an aside, wait until our 37 year old right winger rips the p*sh out of you latest signing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScottishZizou Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 This KTID26 is a bit of an obsessed moron isn't he? Won't shut up about Findlay/Mckenna when no one else seems very bothered. Both decent players. Would be nice if we stole him off Killie once Mckenna goes. Just the natural order with big clubs picking the best players off the wee clubs which is ashame. Kilmarnock finished once above Aberdeen in the last 8 seasons and that was on goal difference. When you look at our consistency over the last 6/7 years under McInnes it hasn't really been done my any club in last 20 years. He gets some warranted criticism but his enture tenure has been very good. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mcinnes has finished 3rd, 2nd, 2nd, 2nd, 2nd, 4th, 4th. Finished ahead of Rangers twice and behind them twice. These last two seasons weren’t great but If your down seasons are not getting 3rd on goal difference and then a postponed season where you very well could have come 3rd then I can live with that. If you look at the absolute state of Hearts and Hibs in comparison who are probably fair to compare Aberdeen to its night and day. There are definitely flaws with Mcinnes but this is the best stretch by any non old firm team in the last 30 years. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
