He wasn't ready when he played for us but is there anyone who wouldn't have give Michael Rose another go instead of Ash Taylor? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The proven player? The player who wasn't well thought of the first time around and was signed as the third choice centre back on a good wage.

Carl Cort's Hamstring Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 I'd say the summer before the 2018-19 season was the last time McInne seemed to have a clear strategy with our transfers, even if they didn't all work out. We lost O'Connor, and brought in Hoban and Dom Ball (who I always thought was underrated by our fans), who could both do a similar job. Max Lowe was excellent at left-back. Gleeson was brought into replace Jack and Forrester was signed to add the creativity in midfield that we had lost when McLean and Christie left. Gleeson and Forrester turned out to be disasters but they were logical signings at the time. Since then, the policy seems to be sign anyone who seems good and is available, and we'll figure out what to do them later. Which has led us to fielding starting XIs with 5 wingers while expensive central midfielders sit on the bench/get sent out on loan. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Complete coincidence surely. Different people's jobs unless you think McInnes has been out trying to sign a proven electrical contractor instead of an attacking midfielder? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we've a big enough management team as a business that the football people can stay on football stuff while commercial people stay on commercial stuff. Maybe the chairman /chief exec are less focused on football matters but evidence suggests it might be good if they stay out of it.

tarapoa Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 A "period of time" ?? - one week, one month, til his loan ends the summer? Dean Campbell decided to crock him just as there were signs Hornby was getting air in his lungs and was going to come good for us. Just typical of the way things have gone this season - we are like some kind of bermuda triangle when it comes to keeping players fit. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was a good tackle though, he'd got in a dangerous position and looked odds on to score. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
