RussellAnderson Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 It certainly looks like we'll be setting up a bit differently this season. A lot more central play. Interesting stuff, and hopefully the change can catch some teams off guard. Our wide play, whilst effective, was predictable as hell. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lubo_blaha Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 Crosses swapped for intricate through balls this season then. Wonder how Rooney will cope with that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully he'll be coping with it by buying himself a nice cushion for his spot on the bench. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverWolfe Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 Someone either ITK or getting carried away a bit.Some excellent business by the Dons so far, could end up looking stronger than they were last season if May comes in. Still need a good centre half though 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

akredz Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 Nice bit of news about Maloney. After all the doom and gloom a couple of weeks ago, it's not quite so scary checking on here these days. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 Maloney, May and a centre half and we're good to go. Roll on We're going to win the fucking league 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anotherchance Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 Another winger would be cracking, I do think at times we'll need pace rather than tippy tappyness. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ludo*1 Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 Where do you plan on playing Stewart? He's best on the right wing, cutting in of his left. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RussellAnderson Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 So predictable we finished 2nd for 3 years? Really? Like I said, it's been very effective, but there have been individual games where teams have us sussed and we've not been able to switch it up. By changing how we play we could be able to counter that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fifespud Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 If May doesn't cut his hair he'll be out walking his dog and find himself with his feet inside someone's wellies and a cock up his arse. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G-MAN Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 Aberdeen make further bid of 325K wage cut agreed, player has asked to move. Doesn't meet Preston valuation of 500K. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BucksburnDandy Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 While not confirmed yet, Maloney will be a good addition in the Barry Robson style, adding experience and a touch of class. A real boost to have someone of that experience in the team. With Stevie May, he does represent a risk but McInnes and Graham Kirk must be relatively confident before putting in so much effort to the bid. In terms of the bid, Preston are asking a lot for their player given his injury record, so Aberdeen are quite right to go in low and negotiate. Particularly if the player has told Preston of his desire to leave. In response to @Kneetrembler, I do think we are going to see a change of style to a narrower game, but that may bring benefits in certain types of game. In Europe particularly, we've been snuffed out too easily out wide and ran out of ideas in the Third Qualifying Round. This may work better. A centre half is a must though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
