It seems to me that the reason we've signed McGeouch is to compensate for the fact that Bryson has been missing from day one. We're taking a risk though by relying on two such injury prone players. In what world has Bryson been injury prone? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s partly our own fault. We’ve rushed him back every time he’s been half fit and it’s backfired just about every time. I don’t think he’s been particularly injury prone across is career is what muzza might be getting at. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I’m referring to his pre Aberdeen career. He’s never been an injury prone player which may say something about the training/care he’s getting at Aberdeen.

Fair enough, as I say he picked up a serious ankle injury not long before his move. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact, if memory serves me right, he was injured when he signed. It's f**k all to do with the training/care he gets at Aberdeen, it's pretty much everything to do with the fact that we signed a 33 year old carrying a pretty serious injury and the fact that it seems that there are obviously still issues. A fair bit of our wage budget gets spent on a 33 year old who may or may not recover from this injury. I would say he's been a pretty disastrous signing. Edit to say that Aberdeen have got to take an element of blame for firstly signing a player near the end of his career carrying a fairly serious injury, and secondly for obviously trying to rush him back when he wasn't ready.

Pretty sure he’s currently out for a total period of around 3 months due to Murray Davidson nailing his good ankle, and allegedly the originally injured ankle has been fine.

Kennedy signing a pre-contract with a team 5 points adrift at the bottom would be a bold move as well.

My main suspicion with the story is its a Saints fan whos published it, one who's had a close relationship with the club in the past, and I can't see any Edinburgh papers who've done so far. Wonder why St Johnstone would put an article out claiming a club other than Aberdeen are poised to pay a hefty fee this window to sign him...? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My source for Kennedy having met Hearts didn't come from the Sun, but you could well be right about leverage. Aberdeen have been interested for longer, are way ahead in the league and can most likely offer at least as much money as us. He'll be going there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's pretty much the one diamond in a sea of turds.....Zander Diamond, Chris Maguire, countless others from various Scottish clubs..... that signed for lower league English clubs thinking about the short term cash and that everything would be bright and shiny and perfect just because it's England. I honestly thought these days were past, and that players could look at the experiences of others and make informed decisions about their careers. Apparently not (if the rumour is true). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dons_1988 Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 O'Donnell probably has one last chance at good money at 27 years old, so if Oxford are offering him that then I'd expect him to take it tbh. Not a great footballing move but I can kind of understand it, don't think he has too much potential to improve so it's all about maximising earnings now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did find an article from just after he joined Killie where he was talking about how hard is was down south being away from family. With a new kid that's something to consider but money likely outweighs the cons. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
