However I've recently been told he isn't one of the 3 (not 2) internationalists MainStandMoan was talking about that has given his word to Scott Brown. Players that haven't been mentioned as of yet. Declan Gallagher has agreed to sign on but he's not one of the 3 players. I'm excited about next season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dons_1988 Posted April 14, 2021 Share Posted April 14, 2021 On the stuff about Hoban, I can't imagine it's a case of whether we want to keep him, more if Tommy feels he's repaid us for the rehabilitation we gave him and fancies trying his hand down South again. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's interesting if he wants to keep Taylor and Hoban while also taking in Gallagher. We've lacked a bit of depth at the back this season. Potentially not the best news if he is keen on playing out from the back though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, big Joe is great but he's pretty shite at shelling the ball long, never mind playing the Pirlo role from his own 18 yard box. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I posted in the match thread on Saturday that I think Joe's distribution is decent. The main issue for me is he wants too long on the ball. If our defence are deeper to collect the ball from him and then pass it back it's going to increase the pressure immediately. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah not sure I can agree. I've felt for a couple of season that a lot of his punts end up out for a throw or nowhere generally. I'm maybe being harsh but I think we'd agree that him, Taylor and Considine exchanging passes a long our own 18 yard line is a good way to instigate a bowel movement. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like to think that putting an end to this nonsense is the very first thing crayoned into Glass's book of 'things to do'. 3 times in the first 20 minutes on Saturday did we have a 'passing extravaganza' of over 15 passes, backwards or sideways. Each time it ended up with Saints having a shot on goal, as we eventually made a misplaced pass to someone like McGinn or Hayes, standing on the half way line facing Joe Lewis. This shambles first raised its ugly head in Rijeka, and it hasn't got any better since then. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we were good enough to play our way through a high press then it's very effective but we're just not at the moment. That doesn't mean route one football but Considine taking the ball off of Joe from a goal kick, 6 yards from our own goal is just asking for trouble. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless the story has been edited since you posted, the article only says that "Aberdeen are also keen on a move" for Gallagher. I don't think it'd be any surprise if he has an offer on the table but Burns doesn't explicitly say Aberdeen have offered him a contract. Said it before but Gallagher/his agent would have to be pretty fucking dumb to commit to an Aberdeen while he still has a decent chance of going to the Euros with Scotland. A good Euros could open up far more opportunities than he has at the moment. Then again, having seen the way he/his people have carried themselves since January I think it's fair to say they're probably not the galaxy brains making the 4D chess moves they think they are. 16 minutes ago, Frank Grimes said: Isn’t Scott Burns an Aberdeen fan?

As to Burns, he has some history with Hibs of "suggesting" we are after a player, they are signed by someone else, then runs a story that Hibs were "beaten to the punch" - happened at least twice and we have been told at AGMs etc that Hibs ended the interest in said player. Dons fans reckon he is accurate with them, so maybe he has better contacts there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G51 Posted April 14, 2021 Share Posted April 14, 2021 The odds of Gallagher having a decent Euros must be fairly low given that Hanley looks to be the first choice middle CB now? Tough to have a good Euros from the bench. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
