ETA on a similar note, I often wonder how the 15/16 season might have turned out had we signed Lewis a year earlier and didn't have the Danny Ward fiasco. Such a 'what if' season. I'd have him instead of Shinnie in midfield but not Severin. Taking out loan players, since 2000 Lewis Hart - Anderson - Heikkinen - McNaughton Severin - Bisconti McGinn - McLean - Hayes Stavrum (Just looking back at Stavrum, it's amazing to look back now and see how Aberdeen, struggling at the time, just managed to sign the top scorer in Sweden's top division) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Over there, it's the best Aberdeen team from the last 5 years, but I think it'd be more interesting if it was the best Dons team from the last 15 years (just the player, not their performances in that period). My effort: Lewis McNaughton Anderson McKenna Lowe Severin Shinnie McGinn Christie Hayes Rooney That team would have won the league during the Deila years imo. Shinnie in a left back and McLean in CM for me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are! My! Stav-rum! My Arild Stavrum! You make me happy! When skies are grey! You're big and hairy! And come from Norway! Oh please don't take, my Stav-rum away! I had a proper bro-mance for Stavrum (aye and I was about 30 at the time)! I'd love to get a copy of his drawing of the wind at Aberdeen!

Definitely not for me. I'm not one of those that ignore his ability because he's a vile, rat, ***, scumbag. But Severin was significantly better imo. 9 hours ago, ScoRoss said: I'd have him instead of Shinnie in midfield but not Severin.

Stavrum, he was even better. 27 minutes ago, GTG_03 said: Delighted Cerny has signed for another year, as back up keepers go you don't get much better.

Don't forget, for the longest time he held the record for clean sheets. One thing he did use to do that I've seen people moan about, if he reckoned he wasn't going to reach a shot, he just didn't bother with the pretend dive. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kjaer was quality but his backups were Preece and Esson. Talking of Esson, was he the last homegrown keeper we've brought through that's played more than a handful of first team games? If so, that's very poor. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't mind Preece - Never paid much attention mind you. Was he brutal? You did have Langfield in goal for nigh on a decade - The fact you couldn't replace him (And by god did you try at times) in that time has to go down as the worst piece of Aberdeen decision making since you had Kjaer! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He wasn't dreadful, but nor was he particularly good from memory. Just pretty anonymous really. I've not long managed to suppress all memory of Langfield, and you've gone and brought it all back to the surface. Cheers min!

Rodhull Posted July 4, 2020 Share Posted July 4, 2020 (edited) Visited Copenhagen in December and when checking in at the hotel the young-ish desk clerk after finding out we were Scottish first thing he asked was if I’d heard of Peter Kjaer and that convinced me it was going to be a good holiday. Mind you when I said we’d flown from Edinburgh he thought that’s where Aberdeen were from so he’s not perfect.
