Dons_1988 Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 Moving on a tangent,does any dandy Don think Mcinnes and Tommy Docherty think one of the challenges remaining,apart from Europa League group qualification,is to take a point from New Douglas Park next season?ftw Let's start with scoring a goal, then we can discuss points. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dudu Dahan pal Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 13 hours ago, DrewDon said: Hayes has just had a better season than Roberts. He might be approaching 30, but he is a better all-round player, and, with fewer defensive responsibilities (which he generally carries out assiduously), he should be a good signing for Celtic in the short-term. Roberts undoubtedly has age and potential on his side, but I'd rather have Hayes in my team at this moment in time. He is a fantastic player. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheScarf Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 Hayes is better than Roberts? Nah, I'm not having that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1320Lichtie Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 Agree with everything Drew said positively about Hayes but he's absolutely nowhere near the standard Roberts is. Roberts is on a whole different level. Hayes is a great player though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
naegoodinthedark Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 Only way to decide who's better, is to get Roberts playing at the Dandies for a few years, to see how he gets on. It's the only fair way to decide it. We could also use this technique to decide the "Dembele v Davie Dodds" argument. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrewDon Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 Hayes got the same amount of Premiership goals last season as Roberts and a superior assists tally despite being in an inferior team. I also thought Hayes was the more impressive of the two in the couple of games between the sides at the end of the season. Playing for Celtic should be an easier job for Hayes, as he will be complemented by better players and there should be less emphasis on his defensive duties. None of this is to say that Roberts isn't an excellent player - he is. I probably should have said that I would rather have Hayes in this Aberdeen team, although that is just my personal preference. I'm perhaps guilty of looking at it somewhat emotionally as Hayes is the best player I have seen play for Aberdeen in my lifetime, though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1320Lichtie Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 Dembele / Liam Boyce situation here. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Armand 2 Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 What Roberts' stats don't include are the number of free-kicks he won in the final third which led to goals. Sure Hayes also won his fair share but if I recall correctly, Roberts either directly or indirectly contributed to over 30 goals for Celtic last season. Can appreciate the stature that Hayes has with Aberdeen fans but I think they'd be in the minority to class him as a 'better all-round player' than Roberts. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RussellAnderson Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 Its the same as the Dembele/Griffiths argument. I'd rather have Griffiths in my team at the moment, I think he currently is better than Dembele, but obviously Dembele has a higher potential so is going to be worth more. Hayes at the moment is better than Roberts, but he won't be for long. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kneetrembler Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 I think Celtic fans should wait and see Hayes play for them before deciding how good a player he is or isn't. With the amount of ball they have in most games, I think they might be surprised just what he is capable of. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've loved watching him rip up shit for years. Not ideal he's gone to Celtic, but anyone not thanking him for his time at the Dandies is a total c**t. End of.

I'm looking forward to seeing the new side mcinnes puts together. Rumours of a last ditch effort to get Nicholson before he goes to the states. Can't honestly say he's ever been a stand out when I've seen him for Hertz. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Illgresi Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 Aberdeen vs Ordabasy Shymkent or Siroki Brijeg Definitely a winnable tie. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
