RussellAnderson Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 It's probably right that he moves on. But I'm still sad about it. I always thought he'd hit his century with us. Guess that's not happening [emoji24][emoji24][emoji24] 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think McInnes has done right by a player that did well for him and I'm confident that, as usual, he'll find a solution. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EdTheDuck Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 (edited) Might be a good season to "consolidate", not to qualify for Europe and play in the League Cup groups.

Seriously though I hate to imagine how our fans would cope with a season like that. I thought last year was going to be like that, and we ended up a very good second yet folk stoll lost their minds. I'm actually more worried about having to put up dodging all the toys being lobbed out of prams this year than the prospect of finishing fourth or fifth. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red23 Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 For the benefit of doubt we are going to finish 5th/6th this season. Burnley and Rangers will have a great laugh. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree with the sentiment, but we're heading for a Sigma Olomuc type hiding in a week's time with this squad. We've also got 4 league games before the end of the transfer window. It would be nice to have more than 1 point from these games. I trust though that McInnes has something substantial up his sleeve.....I mean substantial, not a loan signing from Charlton or a 19 year old Blackpool reserve player. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't the English window end on August 9th or something like that this year? Would imagine most if not all our business would be done by then. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes except in your example you're actually seeing something tangible happen before your own eyes rather than assuming the worst based on the incomplete information you have access to, fueled by your own pessimism and bed wetting instincts.

We go in to a season with that shite on the pitch this thing will be a disaster waiting to happen, i'm looking at the fact Gleeson has replaced McLean. Enough evidence right there.

Not to mention the fact that people’s health / lives would be at stake, rather than the fortunes of a football club. Such an extreme comparison only adds to the perceived bed wetting. If we go into the new season with the squad as it is then we will be fighting for 5th / 6th, which would be pish given our recent history and relative financial clout in this league. We realistically need to add a player who can cover both full back positions, a backup keeper, an attacking midfield player (signing Christie permanently would be ideal imo) and a genuine goal threat who is proven at this level (of the same ilk as Louis Moult) in order to be expected to compete for 2nd / a cup. I don’t think we will get all of these but I’ll give them some more time before panicking. If we are still in this position in 3 weeks or so then I will start to worry but until then I’ll give the club the benefit of the doubt.

Enough evidence right there. Agreed that so far it's not looking promising but I'd imagine with the sale of Rooney now that 2/3 signings will happen and at least as many loanees coming in as well so the squad could look pretty different in a few weeks time. I'm guessing Forrester is more likely to be the McLean replacement than Gleason but I honestly haven't seen enough of either to make a judgement on their quality yet. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anotherchance Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 Quite confident everything will come together. From his presser McInnes seemed to suggest we’d have had a lot more done but for some last minute hitched with various deals.Saw Ched Evans’ name mentioned earlier. That would be hilarious. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
