Also think his time at Aberdeen shouldn't last much longer, if he wants to become a good player he needs to get to a good league. Maybe Rangers are interested in that case fine, if not he needs a move end of next season at the latest. Don't Rangers and Aberdeen play in the same league? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunning1874 Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 While he's not the best player in it, Jack is probably the worst player to lose in the midfield. We have no one who can do that holding job to the same level; obviously if we move McTominay into midfield then we've put a better player than Jack in there, but we'd then have the sitting two performing a different role with more emphasis on going box to box and less on protecting the defence. Maybe that'd end up working anyway, but take anyone else out and we can still play the same way with personnel on the same level to take their place. Then there's McLean and Fleck who just aren't as good. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
accies1874 Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 I didn't see the interview myself but going by what was being said on social media at the time I think Clarke told Sky Sports after announcing the squad that Mctominay would likely be used in midfield if Jack was still injured. If so it may be another defender getting called up rather than a midfielder?I got that impression too. f**k knows who he'd draft in at CB though, and the thought of starting Hendry against Austria (and Israel tbf) makes me nervous to say the least. I'd obviously love Gilmour to get called up but can't see it happening. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And not those lovely caramel-filled egg chocolates, I’m talking they easter eggs that look massive but are hollow as f**k inside. They don't even play the same position. Jack having the odd knee problem here and there didn't prevent him from playing 40+ games in the last two seasons, and probably another 40 or so this year. 10 hours ago, AberdeenBud said: If Jack is looking doubtful for the Euros, which seems likely, I think we get Gilmour in ASAP. I'm not sure why he'd be doubtful for the Euros - the tournament is three months away and he was clearly close enough to fitness for him to be worth including in this squad. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah but at Rangers he'd be training with better players and exposed to a decent amount of good level European football. Its a slight improvement that would help him get better. Though ideally a move to a better league would be best for him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The European experience at Rangers is great, but if he could get a top division club in one of the big leagues he would be better there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then there's McLean and Fleck who just aren't as good. Get what you're saying, but in the last few games Jack was a bit further forward up the pitch than McGregor a lot of the time. For all he was still playing quite a defensive role, he was pressing quite high when we didn't have the ball and pushing forward at times to support O'donnel when we were in possession. If we put McGinn or McTominay in there next to McGregor to play that role I don't think the team loses too much defensive stability. And it also provides us with more technical ability in midfield. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both better players who have much better match sharpness just now, especially Hanley. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordopolis Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 Almost what I'd have.I'd go with Hanley at RCB - bit more of a finished article than Hendry. Also maybe McKenna for Gallagher. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also maybe McKenna for Gallagher. I think he'll chuck Hendry straight in and think he was called up with that in mind to move McTominay into midfield. Hendry is pretty quick for a CB and can play, so a good fit. Though maybe against Austria he'll think we have more defending to do and will sit in a bit more, so that would suit Hanley with McKenna or Gallagher in the middle. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
