Dons_1988 Posted August 24, 2023 Share Posted August 24, 2023 If possible I’d have devlin RWB. He did really well for bojans goal on Friday and suspect he’s more reliable defensively. I still haven’t seen morris actually complete a successful cross in his time with us. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair amount of unknown quantities too. Yeah those unknown quantities could go either way. Lots of dice rolling in this new look squad - hopefully the scouting prawcess has us coming up with double 6's on most of them. Central midfield is a definite weak spot. I hope we are still fishing for a quality player that compliments Shinnie and Clarkson. The others you list are squad fillers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarleyQuinn Posted August 24, 2023 Share Posted August 24, 2023 15 hours ago, kingjoey said: I find it hard to believe that Aberdeen contacted Gornik Zagreb, who incidentally I watched Aberdeen beat 5.0 in late 1970, negotiated a fee with them and a contract with Richard Jensen and presumably completed a medical, in three days. Which would have had to have happened if we were signing Liam Scales on Friday. We've obviously been working on the Jensen deal for sometime. I was told (as many others were) that Scales was set to sign a three year deal last Friday. That was is either false or the deal fell through. Either way I'm delighted we signed Jensen and happy to admit when I'm wrong and that the club made the right choice moving onto alternative options. However I won't support 750k or more being spent on Scales. IF those rumoured figures are true. End of. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My team tonight would be; Roos Rubezic MacDonald Jensen. Clarkson. Devlin Polvara Shinnie Hayes. Miovski Duk Longer term, a new signing in place of Polvara & see how McGarry is at LWB. Not sure that Robson will gamble on both MacDonald, who can’t be 100% fit AND Jensen who’ll barely know his team mates names. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thenorthernlight Posted August 24, 2023 Share Posted August 24, 2023 Well I wasn’t hugely optimistic before seeing the team selection Swedish champions, away from home, great record at home, artificial pitch etc… Having seen the team we have out? Hacken to win by a couple 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

STFU_Donny Posted August 24, 2023 Share Posted August 24, 2023 McGrath and McGarry changed that match tonight. I feel like McGrath will be a decent signing for us and didn’t really get the negativity that some had. Having said that, Hacken made JET look like prime Thierry Henry last time we played them so it’s maybe early days. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you have to be fair & credit him for the subs as they turned it round. Liked the look of McGarry. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarleyQuinn Posted August 24, 2023 Share Posted August 24, 2023 I'd go with this as the starting 11 going forward. Roos Ruby MacDonald Jensen Devlin Shinnie McGarry McGrath Clarkson Miovski Duk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The starting X1 was CLEARLY wrong And the starting X1 I criticised was 2-0 down, so “Hacken by a couple” was a reality. Thankfully Robson realised and made the right changes .

Captain_Sensible Posted August 24, 2023 Share Posted August 24, 2023 Well done guys, good result. My dirty secret is that half my family are Aberdonians and I’ve always had a soft spot. Hope you get stuffed on Sunday though 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

afc_blockhead Posted August 24, 2023 Share Posted August 24, 2023 McGrath and McGarry were superb when they came on. Some other decent performers too though We will take Hacken next week 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
