Greg Leigh for your list. Arneson was re-signed for the club by McInnes but i don't think he played under him first time he was here. I'd be happy enough if GMS came back but it wouldn't make me aroused. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't see how he fits the system. We could try him behind the front man but we'd then be relying on him giving someone else a shot of the ball. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could see him coming on for Hedges/Wright/McLennan, whether to try something different or as cover. I can't see that he'd walk into the starting 11. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

underdogunderdog underdog Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 I'd rather the potential wages that would be spent on GMS were used in position we need like centre back. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carl Cort's Hamstring Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 Apologies if this has been answered before, but what is going on with Hernandez. Doesn't even seem to make the bench half the time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if the board signed him than the manager as he isn't your typical Derek McInnes signing.

The things that make me think this could be right are: When he signed we were told that it was possible because of the link up with Atlanta and their scouting ""It shows you where we are with our collaboration with Atlanta at the minute," McInnes said. "Once we were speaking with their recruitment team it was a player who they were aware of and had flagged up on their system. "Jointly we got to know him a bit better. Atlanta have several Venezuelan players and contacts and that allowed us to make inroads into the possibility of bringing him to Aberdeen." Also McInnes recent comments about being confident of recouping the investment " I think we have to be fair to the boy, and if there is an opportunity, and we think there will be, to recoup the money invested then that money will come back." McInnes isn't dumb enough to think he's worth £800k on the market, so there's clearly something else. Maybe there were options in there, and had he turned out to be a superstar Atlanta would still be giving us £800k and not a penny more. I don't know. I agree, if we haven't lost out, then there's no issue. I'd go further though, if we can access players we otherwise couldn't with innovative deal structures, why not give it a shot. If one in three works out that would be grand. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If one in three works out that would be grand. The thing that makes it seem a little implausible for me is that Cormack has generally been a lot more open with fans than Milne was. I know there's an element of muppets who think this makes us Atlanta's puppet club and their ego can't handle that. But the vast majority of fans wouldn't have an issue with it provided we don't lose anything from the deal, so it doesn't make sense to keep it a secret. Unless rules would be broken by doing this? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rodhull Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 Looks like Bristol City plan on keeping Watkins for the rest of the season. Suppose the plans could change if they sign someone else. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
