In the first few windows Derek was excellent at building on the core of the team he inherited. Initially Robson, Flood. Then we had Logan and Rooney, Shinnie, Mclean and lewis. We seemed to resolve all the significant issues in the team. Yes there were duds along the way but they never lasted long, Zola, Wylde etc were shipped on pretty quickly. Since the 2017 SC final when we lost basically the core of the team, Mcinnes was chased by Sunderland and then we had a few weeks to pull a team together for Europe. Tansey was never good enough. In defence of Maynard, he was a back up option to May or Moult, had we signed May earlier in that window I very much doubt we'd have signed him. We've signed players that on paper should've been good enough. I was pleased with Gleeson, May, Stewart, Wilson etc at the time of signing, all seemed good options. We are maybe guilty of not digging deep enough into the character of some of these guys, Wilson in particular seems a total p***k, as he's clearly talented. We've not had the best few windows but I think it's a stretch to say I'm petrified of what's to come. I'm not convinced that recruitment has got worse. Off the top of my head McInnes is successful with roughly 1/3 of signings. I would add Hoban and (effectively) Devlin to the good players signed in the summer (maybe not good signings though). It was easier to recruit players that were better than the players they replaced when we had a worse squad. Eg I doubt O'connor would be a regular starter now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are probably right if you look at all signings as one population. He's never had great success with the squad players in my view (I'm thinking tate, Parker, Wylde, Monakana, Burns etc etc) but first two years he built on our first XI very well IMO. But it was always adding to an already strong team as opposed to overhauling it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A fine example of tangential off-shooting there. What's your definition of a sex pest down Kilmarnock way ? Someone who rides a burd with a full set o' teeth ?

Rodhull Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 Anyone know how long our Adidas deal still has to run? Noticed that the club is promoting a new range of kids clothes that isn't Adidas branded. I'm probably reading too much into it but I'm sure the last updates was that we had signed a vague 'multi-year extension' and that was some time ago. Not that I'm fussed either way if we change as long as we don't go back to the kind of deal we had before which resulted in some of the dullest Nike strips imaginable. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheep62 Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 Jesus guys, where's all this hatred of everything Aberdeen come from. Always got on very well with typical Killie supporters. On separate matter, Considine offered contract extension. In this day and age it's incredible to read he has already been with the club twenty years, man and boy.

I think it's just the club maximising profits. They can only put an Aberdeen badge of bog standard Adidas gear otherwise and likely didn't order in more stock due to seasons end. There's been a big sale on all Adidas stuff in the club shop though so you may be on to something. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
