Dons_1988 Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 I'll never give it up (na na na nana na na) tbh. I just hope McInnes uses him correctly next season, he's not, and never has been, an effective lone striker. Well never be a 4-4-2 team under mcinnes so I doubt he will. I do agree with you that he’s not a little be striker but he did need to do more to justify building a team around him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Playing him on the left isnt an answer either, and seems based entirely on that semi final, I'm not sure he was effective for us out there any other time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve just seen my autocorrect fail there so I’m hoping you realised I meant lone striker.I tend to think his time with us is destined to be a mediocre at best venture which is a failure given the investment in him (transfer fee and big contract). I think there’s still a player there, he’s shown flashes of what he can do but I must admit there have been times I’ve watched him and wondered whether or not he’ll ever have the ‘spark’ back like he did at saints.As I mentioned, he’ll have to do a lot to convince McKinnes that he’s worth playing 4-4-2 for but I can’t see it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure there was a couple of months spell (when MacLean was injured and he was playing up front alone..) where he barely scored any. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RussellAnderson Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 Watching Kari vs Argentina today I have to say, I'll always love him. I wish he never left, and I'd take him back no matter how shite he was. They guy's a rockstar. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Grimes Posted June 17, 2018 Share Posted June 17, 2018 I like him but he was largely average for us last season tbh He was very poor in the semi 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RussellAnderson Posted June 17, 2018 Share Posted June 17, 2018 I like him but he was largely average for us last season tbh He was very poor in the semi Gaffer didn't use him properly. No defensive over in front of him. See for Iceland, the baldy boy Halfredsson in front of him was a rock yesterday. If we had a proper physical CDM he'd have played a lot better IMO. Also, it's quite an irrational love I have for him. I think I probably fancy him. And I love that there's an Aberdeen player at the WC. Sort of. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was very average for us last season. He had a few excellent months in his first stint with us but then turned to shit when he decided he didn’t want to be here anymore.His performance yesterday actually irritated me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dons_1988 Posted June 17, 2018 Share Posted June 17, 2018 Another ex OF jobby using us for one last payday before they inevitably f**k off to find a managers job when their playing career underwhelmingly fizzles out in an Aberdeen shirt. It’s a yes from me. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
