O_Kahn Posted August 22, 2023 Share Posted August 22, 2023 I can see the sense of McGrath's signing in that - he's a free agent - we probably need a balance between players new to Scotland and those with experience here - we need some more goals in the team But it's not really very inspiring. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From Teklic to Jamie McGrath. Oft. Curious to see who this overseas defender is. Edited August 22, 2023 by HarleyQuinn 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dons_1988 Posted August 22, 2023 Share Posted August 22, 2023 Objectively and dispassionately, McGrath is an ‘ok’ player for this league. But this is also a guy that: - Stephen glass criticised his mentality for rejecting us - I think cormack alluded to the fact he wanted too much money last summer when United signed him on loan - part of an absolutely spineless United side - clearly well down our list of targets given he’s been a free agent for a fair while now. It’s just not a particularly great look for us. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DukDukGoose Posted August 22, 2023 Share Posted August 22, 2023 Just now, SamuraiJock said: I think he was suggesting Wigan wanted too much money rather than McGrath himself? Aye. Wigan asked for us to pick up a larger part of his wage after the deal was verbally agreed. McGrath to sign, say he regrets not signing in the first place and Aberdeen are a bigger club than he realised. Blah blah. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
azazel Posted August 22, 2023 Share Posted August 22, 2023 Football's a squad game, so while McGrath might - might - not be in our best 11 players by the time the window closes, he's certainly good enough to play a role. On that basis, seems a good signing to me. And if we've got a midfield that he isn't good enough to be a starter in, then we'll have a pretty good midfield. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coprolite Posted August 22, 2023 Share Posted August 22, 2023 McGrath's a decent attacking midfielder. Not every signing is going to be a Clarkson. More 2 man ridge tent than marquee. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rodhull Posted August 22, 2023 Share Posted August 22, 2023 (edited) The Record reporting the Jensen deal is close too. Was Mcinnes after McGrath at any point as well? If so it's some going to have 4 different managers at a club after the same player. Edited August 22, 2023 by Rodhull 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
