You forgot that bit. No arguments there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Illgresi Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 Just watching the Ronald Hernandez interview. Interesting point for me, is that Hayes is clearly playing at left back in the training match shown. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting point for me, is that Hayes is clearly playing at left back in the training match shown. Doesn't tell us too much at this point. Given it was an inter-squad game we needed 4 centre backs and only have McKenna, Taylor & Considine fit as senior players so Considine was needed there. Assume Hayes and McKenzie were the two left backs. I'd expect to see Considine at left back against Rangers with McKenna and Taylor at centre back. Against teams where we might spend most of the game on the attack we might see Hayes line up at left back. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d31 Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 I think he'll be left back a lot but i'd be surprised if it wasn't Considine there in the first game with Hayes in front. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed. During his Sportsound appearance, McInnes was talking Hayes up as a dynamic & exciting player, who still had pace, so I could see him starting on the wing, as opposed to LB. Can't see McInnes taking the 'risk' of starting Hayes at LB versus Rangers*. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d31 Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 I was assuming if we sell McKenna we would attempt to find a free (possibly absolutely free eg loan with no contribution) centre half and sign Leigh as his actual wage replacement. As it looks like Cosgrove will overtake McKenna heading out the door maybe wonder if we might see Leigh while McKenna is still here. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's going to be one in and one out as McInnes has said then surely we replace Cosgrove with a striker? I'm obviously looking in to it too much but we've also kept number 3 clear. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You quite clearly aren't buying a season ticket for "your" club. Yet you think that attending 700 games gives you a right to criticise others. The reason for the continued use of "your" is that I think you have a brass neck claiming that you are a supporter of the club when you and not simply being unsupportive but actually critical of the club trying to get income to survive this crisis. I bet you are one of those that think it should be the faceless suits that inject the funds in so that you can go to another X amount of games. "Your" club needs you at this time of need and you are nowhere to be seen. "You quite clearly" understand my pathetic motivations better than even I "I bet" you're one of those true Indianapolis Colts (or whatever the crash helmet represents) uncritical fans who back their clubs through thick and thin, right and wrong. I'm just not at your superfan level. I scurry away to the sewers once things get tough. I thought all suits were faceless? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will MR, we'll replace him with an "international striker" that we'll all be happy about as was reported with great glee here from our man in Canada 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dons_1988 Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 Reading between the lines on Mcinnes' Sportsound appearance, and probably being completely wrong, but I didn't get the impression Mcinnes saw losing Cosgrove as the worst thing in the world. Also enjoyed his little dig about him sending his brother Tam Cosgrove back in January 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
