So my comment was based on what I had read in the team of the season and some of the opinions on the Motherwell season thread of last year. I've included some quotes (there are a quite a few in line with this sentiment) from Pie and Bovril regarding Polworth. One of them from you. This indicates to me that he is a very good player and that some appear to be of the opinion he is good enough to play for any team in Scotland. Interestingly, Liam Polworth's father was Alex Ferguson's last signing as Aberdeen's manager. "...Were the majority ofPolworth 's "2nd highest number of assists in the league" not like...from set pieces?" "There is absolutely no question thatPolworth is on the same planet as Turnbull." "CM - Liam Polworth: Brilliant player, I absolutely love him and have done for years. Folk rave about Scott Allan's ability to pick out a pass, but Polworth is comfortably the best in the country and sliding strikers in with a through ball. Give him a clinical strikeforce and he'd bag 15+ assists easily IMO." "Polworth and Christie, to the surprise of absolutely no one, are two of the best footballers in this country and should stroll, with the cigars out like they usually have, into any team of the season." "Finally someone else seeing thatPolworth is better than Allan." Edited October 1, 2020 by HarleyQuinn 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a reply to someone suggesting that Polworth's delivery from set pieces maybe wasn't that good. As I said, I'm absolutely a Polworth fan and he was one of our best players last season - to the point that we didn't miss Turnbull. I don't think anyone would argue that he's been a good player for both us and ICT but it's some leap to go from that position to "he should be playing for Celtic or Rangers" unless obvious hyperbole just sails clean over your head. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going back to my original post, I believe Polworth is an interesting option for Aberdeen to consider. I personally don't believe he's of the standard of player at either The Rangers or Celtic however he clearly has certain attributes that draw attention to him. I don't proclaim to know much about him however I have seen regular praise (some laud) for his performances in the past few years. Granted there are some opinions that are certainly over exaggerated. As well as Allan Campbell, Polworth played very well against us the other week and caught my eye. We've being missing that type of player who can unlock defences with a killer pass since McLean and Christie departed. I suppose Scott Wright and Hedges are the nearest we've had since them.

Think he's good enough at Championship level, excited to see how he's developed when he returns. Hopefully be a good option in the attacking areas. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DukDukGoose Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 St. Mirren have named four subs. Surely we should be looking to see if we can send Anderson or someone there until the new year? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Widge Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 What’s happening with Matty Kennedy? Notice he’s not on the bench tonight and the system you’ve adopted doesn’t really suit him any more. Also looks like Wright and Hedges are ahead of him in the pecking order. Could be he’s injured, but if it’s another case of moving from saints and not progressing I wouldn’t be surprised. I hope not, cause I like the guy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd expect him to be straight back in once match fit. Edit: A surprising standout at that Edited October 2, 2020 by Merkland Red 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact he's been playing wingback is a surprise, but if it works it works. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has the running power for wingback. Him and Hayes decent there. Mainly a first pick these days. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DukDukGoose Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 Five points off the top with a game in hand. We'd have bitten someones hand off for that before the season began. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're lacking another ball playing centre back. I'd love for us to look at someone domestically but we're probably looking at a cross border loan. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
