Dhanda played in a County team set up to get the best out of him. McKay plays in a Hearts team set up to get the best out of Shankland.

Took me a while.

Rooney was a brilliant goalscorer but winning headers and holding the ball up definitely wasn't his game! We were often unplayable with Goodwillie up top because he played the target man role brilliantly. Wasn't near the goalscorer of Rooney though.

Very narrow formation!

Maybe shows it's not as accurate as we think

If he was African then folk would be demanding the passport is checked.

Probably about five Champ and Football Manager wonderkids in there.

Awful flashbacks there but a good shout!

He was 17 and went straight in to the youth system. Played predominantly Youth football and scored a wild amount of goals.

Very debatable but both have mentioned their time with the youth setup which is why I chanced my luck. Both chose their boyhood team over us though, certainly McLean was one the club felt got away. Yeah I had Rose but other two have to go ahead of him after becoming Scotland squad mainstays. Felt similar on Barron. It would have been Anderson if not for Shankland but he definitely started in the youth setup. Not too sure on Ferguon as they immediately hyped him up on RedTV during the first week of pre-season. Grimmer and O'Donnell are both really good shouts for right back but the fact we sold Ramsay for really good money puts him in there. Hurts putting in Scott Bain but Archie Mair is the only other keeper I can think of.

Scott Bain Calvin Ramsay Ryan Porteous Scott McKenna Jack MacKenzie Ryan Jack Kenny McLean Ryan Fraser Scott Wright Ryan Duncan Lawrence Shankland Depends how loose you are with youth football? Porteous and McLean were both with us as teens before moving to Hibs and Rangers respectively. There's a few others who went on to have good careers (Stephen O'Donnell, Mikey Devlin, Fraser Fyvie) as well.

We'll have to agree to disagree. He shoe horned Rooney and Cosgrove in as target men when they were anything but. St Johnstone fell in to the same trap with Theo Bair. I can't remember the exact quote but JJ Bull nailed it for me. McInnes had us playing like Mourinho at the time. Lock the game down and try and force a mistake and you'll win more than you'll lose if you have better players. That's why he had such a good record against the rest of the diddies but a horrendous record against the uglies. I'd argue he has such a good record against the OF with Kilmarnock because he is buying to suit his needs but that will go out the window the bugger the budget he gets.

Decent result. Derek's best results in Europe for us were away from home. Fingers crossed you get it done.

Chris Forrester cost more than Ramadani!

Google gives me a daily reminder that rangers want Miovski but Derek Ferguson thinks Aberdeen will be difficult to deal with
