Aberdeen Cowden Posted April 12, 2022 Share Posted April 12, 2022 What’s the relevance of Dunfermline? Have a look at their history. Look at them now. Wouldn’t that to happen to Aberdeen. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
houston_bud Posted April 12, 2022 Share Posted April 12, 2022 Goodwin got rid of Obika because he didn't think he was busy enough up front. He then brought in Curtis Main. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunfermline have spent at least as much of their history in the second tier as they have in the top tier. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They also massively overspent to get success over a period of a good few years before the debt caught up with them and they have been struggling ever since. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He then brought in Curtis Main. Aye. Obika generally did well for us and was much more of a goal threat but he wants his strikers to be able to defend from the front, pressure defenders into mistakes. I said in this thread weeks ago Ramirez doesn't fit that bill but he does the most important thing a striker should do, score goals. Its unhealthy but I keep going over in my head what could have been for us if Aberdeen had went for someone else. They only thing that has improved for all parties is Goodies wages, so far . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose it’s to be expected but it sounded like it was something Goodwin had confirmed off the record at a press conference, which DOES surprise me. https://punditarena.com/football/andrewdempsey/jim-goodwin-stephen-glass-jamie-mcgrath-aberdeen-pressure/ 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HarleyQuinn Posted April 13, 2022 Share Posted April 13, 2022 McGrath, Ronan and Hladky would all be upgrades on what we currently have. The types of players we'd have been looking at under a successful McInnes Aberdeen side. Dunne is not the answer. Hope it's just paper talk and nothing more. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dons_1988 Posted April 13, 2022 Share Posted April 13, 2022 I’d take ronan and hladky. Lets not go overboard in signing half of an ‘ok’ st Mirren team. I still don’t particularly see the hype about McGrath. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends if Wigan get promoted, McGrath and Shinnie are struggling to get a game at the top of League 1 so I'd imagine they might find themselves further down the pecking order if Wigan go up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tarapoa Posted April 13, 2022 Share Posted April 13, 2022 Any decent player from the top flight here that gets a move to England and ends up surplus to requirements will instantly become a transfer target for Hearts, Hibs and Aberdeen. Previously we would win out financially more often than not and also have the 'carrot' of some European football to throw at them. I suspect we have just slipped down the pecking order there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think four or six games against European minnows has quite the pull you think it does tbh. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fairness, when you consider that the UEFA Conference League had teams like Basel, Spurs, Rennes, Copenhagen, Feyenoord, Slavia Prague, Roma etc. in the group stages this year, I'd argue that is a decent selling point between Hearts and Aberdeen (assuming Hearts win this weekend and secure it). Then there is the chance of that actually being the Europa League, which would enhance it further. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless you pick up an aging player, then it's almost always going to be money at this level for anyone outside the uglies. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
