If he goes to Arbroath, he's at least going to be starting for the foreseeable. 100% agree with this, hopefully the chance of a lot more game time sways him to Arbroath 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, Arbroath have a good squad - complete the missing bits of the jig-saw and we can compete with any team in this league. I am not convinced Partick would be a better move - look no further than Anton Dowds who struggles to get much game time. Think a move to Arbroath would be a win-win.

You surely cant refer to one players lack of game time as a reason someone shouldn't be going to a specific club. If we flipped that, look at Scott Allans lack of game time, does that mean another player shouldn't come to Arbroath? As much as i like the prospect of a left back coming in, we cant say were a better fit over another club based on Anton Dowds not getting a game. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1320Lichtie Posted August 9, 2023 Share Posted August 9, 2023 Harry Milne is going to play every week so why are Partick wanting him. He wouldn’t play but notice he’s Glasgow born so maybe thinking post Milne who will maybe be away after this year.

1320Lichtie Posted August 9, 2023 Share Posted August 9, 2023 (edited) I think if we got Ngwenya and had an actual left back we should be looking like an actual football team cause we will have a good squad of players. I still think we are light in middle of the park but McKenna and Stewart playing in midfield should help that. If we have a poor season it’s down to Dick and Pink cause they’ve been well backed. Would love us to get some good results in soon, I know the next 2 games are going to be very tough but would still hope to see positive signs. Still feels like there’s a bit of negative energy at games on a match day and nobody, fans, players or management have much confidence at the moment. Hopefully can build that back up this season Edited August 9, 2023 by 1320Lichtie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tattie36 Posted August 9, 2023 Share Posted August 9, 2023 Surely the whole point of a loan, from the loaning club’s point of view, is to get a fringe or promising young player some game time at a decent level. If that’s the case then why loan a left back to a team with an established (and very good) player already in that position? He wouldn’t get any game time unless it’s covering for injury or maybe in the challenge cup. That’s hardly going to develop or toughen him up is it? A bit like Hancock with us last season - no way was he usurping Hamilton at left back so he ended up being played out of position which only led to him losing confidence and probably going backward as a player. Ngwnya comes to us and he’s starting every week in the second tier - surely that a much better proposition for Aberdeen and the player personally. Unless, of course, Dick decides to play him right wing or in goal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clashcityrocker Posted August 9, 2023 Share Posted August 9, 2023 Scottish Championship side Arbroath are reportedly the front runners to land Aberdeen full back Kieran Ngwenya on a season-long loan deal. The 20-year-old has already enjoyed loan spells with Cove Rangers, Kelty Hearts and Raith Rovers, making 30 appearances in total for the latter in 2022/23 as the Stark's Park club reached the SPFL Trust Trophy final. And now, according to the Daily Record, Dick Campbell's Arbroath are the favourites to take the young left back to Gayfield this season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SotesBornalichtie Posted August 9, 2023 Share Posted August 9, 2023 (edited) And now for something completely different......Which club has the second best club badge? I'm hoping there will be an improvement on Saturday, but the new players have still to settle in and get used to playing alongside the longer serving players. Feel like a draw would be a good result for us. Edited August 9, 2023 by SotesBornalichtie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has one year left on his contract with Aberdeen - but unless he does well this year would be unlikely to be offered a new contract. Would presume he will be looking for regular game time - either to put himself in the shop window or gain a new contract with Aberdeen. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
