FWIW I have no issue with Gallagher signing from a football perspective, he is obviously good enough for us. I just not sure he's that good that we should be breaking the bank for him. From what I have seen at him at Motherwell he was always the player trusted to take the ball out from the back. Didn't think he was terrible at it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casagolda Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 Whilst he’s not exactly Beckenbauer, he’s actually a much better footballer than he gets credit for(as above video shows). He really was outstanding last season, rarely put a foot wrong. This season has seen a big drop off in terms of form and consistency but he’s far from the only Motherwell player that could be levelled at. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I saw him last season, however, I thought he was generally excellent - probably the best centre-back outside of the Old Firm. That's why I have mixed feelings about him. Ideally he would be a few years younger too, but that might have made him more likely to go down to England knowing he could probably still get a decent move up here if it didn't work out. I suppose it depends on which version of him we are going to see. I think that's the key part. @Casagolda made a good point in our thread yesterday: On 04/05/2021 at 10:18, Casagolda said: The guys career has basically been on an uninterrupted, upward trajectory since he left the jail. From playing in League 1 to helping Scotland to the Euro’s in 3 years has been some going. However in some respects, his careers probably peaked. He’s now the wrong side of 30, has missed the boat for his ‘big’ move down South(or Celtic) and lost his place in the Scotland team now as well. If he’s getting a wage hike and 3 year deal at his age it’s a no brainier and I don’t blame him. If he can stay fit and find anything like last seasons form, it’s a decent pick up for Aberdeen as well. He was outstanding for us last season but I think the fact most folk aren’t even arsed anymore about him leaving speaks volumes for the season he’s had on and off the pitch. It's hard to argue against that tbh. Last season off the back of his ascent with Livi and his Scotland cap with us feels like a peak so it's a question of whether the regression we've seen from him this season is just a result of circumstance or not. If you get the 19/20 version you're getting a very good player, if it's the 20/21 version then as @Swello said earlier in the thread you're getting a jobber Premiership centre half (and possibly paying a premium for it). I think he'll be an absolutely fine signing for Aberdeen, he's a good player but he's been miles off it this season (again, he's not the only one in the Motherwell side you can level that at). It's probably fair to say that Motherwell fans indifference towards his leaving is down to both his poor form this season and the way he's carried himself since the "gun to his head" story went to the press and him getting chippy with fans online - it's not a good look for a club captain.

Pretty sure cup runners up never gets the qualifying spot so it should go to the league position. Unfortunately that will be Hibs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rodhull Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 Decent enough update, fairly uneventful as it was. Confirmation we're still with Adidas too and that the kit will launch later than normal. June/July for home and August for Away. Guessing the reveal could still be fairly soon even if the release itself Is delayed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
