CoveRangers1922 Posted July 25, 2021 Share Posted July 25, 2021 Any fringe squad or reserve players expected to be loaned out? Interested to hear if you think Ruth, Virtanen, David Dangana, Ngwenya would be candidates and your thoughts on them and what level they could excel at? Ngwenya was with us at the tail end of last season and did well. We now have Harry Milne, back from injury, who is our stellar LB. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From everything I've seen Ruth and Ngwenya probably have a better chance of making it in the Premier League. Dangana hasn't played above reserve level and Virtanen has only made a couple of sub appearances. I'd be surprised if he went on loan to League One after two relatively successful loans to Arbroath in the Championship but you never know. Cove would obviously be an ideal team as they can still train with us part time and there's less upheaval. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Bob Mahelp Posted July 26, 2021 Share Posted July 26, 2021 Mirko Virtanen is 22 and has spent the last 2 seasons (apparently succesfully) at Arbroath. You've got to imagine that it's now or never for him if he's to make a career as a Dons' player, especially as the younger Jack Mackenzie and Calvin Ramsey are now well above him in the pecking order. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbh the weekly shite puff pieces the likes of the daily record are going to do on him as an Aberdeen player would have been in my top 3 reasons against signing scott brown. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cove would obviously be an ideal team as they can still train with us part time and there's less upheaval. Fair assessment and in line with what I thought about their potential. I heard Ruth was linked with Falkirk and wouldn't be surprised with that given Sheerin is in charge. Cove are in need of another striker, one that will partner Mitch and score 10+ goals a season. I would expect Cove to at least show an interest in Ruth. Had hoped we could lure Cammy Smith but he's gone to Partick. Ngwenya I like and with some development could start creeping his way into the first team squad. Our LB Harry Milne is excellent; very fast and comfortable defending and attacking. Championship quality easily and Ngwenya would only be back up to him at this moment if he got loaned to us. Virtanen seems to be hanging in at Pittodrie but not really gaining any traction. I'd be surprised if we would take him in on loan given we have Fyvie, Vigurs and Scully in central midfield already. We have Draper too, sadly. He's experienced yes but I can walk faster than he can run. Hartley will no doubt look at a few different clubs like Hearts and Dundee Utd for loan signings as well as Aberdeen ( I hope) Edited July 26, 2021 by CoveRangers1922 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's experienced yes but I can walk faster than he can run. I've watched Virtanen and he looked very good at Championship level. It's impossible to say if he can do the business at Premiership level because he hasn't had a run in the team. It's tricky for him. If it was under the last regime then he would probably move on, but there seems to be more opportunities under Glass. I don't think he should drop down to the third tier. He can do a job above that level. Edited July 26, 2021 by Bogbrush1903 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coprolite Posted July 26, 2021 Share Posted July 26, 2021 (edited) I only watched two Arbroath games (on the telly) last season and neither vittanen nor Ruth were the standouts i'd hoped they'd be. Virtanen did look tidy and composed but wasn't dominant at all (against Hearts and Dundee tbf). Ruth had a nice touch but barely got involved. I'd like to see them both given a fair chance of a couple of starts. Maybe Ruth is worth developing more but imo it's sink or swim time for Virtanen at 22.

DukDukGoose Posted July 26, 2021 Share Posted July 26, 2021 (edited) Edit: didn't notice Rod's post. Was wondering if that was Shinie and Mcdermid away the other night. Could be wrong but I was sure they both had other jobs at Pittodrie too. Edited July 26, 2021 by Merkland Red 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I enjoyed this: Andy also hosts the Hampden Roar podcast, which is solely focused on the Scotland national team. Roughly translated as “he is not an OF broadcaster, please believe us, the man is a Scotland fan only!!!” 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
