BigDoddyKane Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 2 hours ago, gannonball said: Soro Im guessing for certain games, We have also been playing Mcgregor in to the ground past few years so hoping he will take some minutes off him too. Thats my opinion of why hes been signed. Central midfield isnt where we need to be buying straight into first 11 players too many other positions in desperate need but we consistently overplayed Brown and Mcgregor last few seasons. So McCarthy as backup makes sense to me. 4 year deal may be long but on other side if we are bringing in new younger players over next 1to 2 seasons and he stays fit having that consistency of him over 4 years could work. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DukDukGoose Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 McCarthy is obviously a talented boy but you're relying on his body holding up. Another example of a young player being overplayed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he can at 10 games on McGregor wages then that's a big black hole in the accounts. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I take it all the tabloid stories about EPL clubs being after McGregor can be filed away with the stories when they claimed Brown was wanted by Newcastle and Spurs ? Look forward to seeing McGregor signing for Aberdeen in 3 years. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He didn't once Jock Stein took over, he didn't play him very much at Hibs as he didn't like him or his attitude towards training amongst other things so sold him to Celtic where he was backup to John Fallon. The irony then being Jock coming to Celtic in 65 and having a very successful period together Edited August 4, 2021 by Jinky67 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
