DukDukGoose Posted May 30 Share Posted May 30 5 hours ago, C4mmy31 said: I hope he's as big a banter signing as Kennedy & Watkins were when Don's fans were lining up to tell us they were rotten. I doubt anyone could allow for KVV pulling a muscle, on not one but two occasions, warming up to be brought on. A disappointing loan but nobody get them right 100% of the time. Matty Kennedy was terrible, first six months aside. Good for him if he's gone on to play well at Killie. Watkins was very good at Aberdeen but far too injury prone and wasn't as good as Bojan or Duk. KVV turned up looking fat for a start and played in a position where you already had cover. Was a strange signing at the time but it's one to expect from Derek. A very good manager but he does make plenty of odd signings. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That left us with Cameron as cover should we suffer any further injuries. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy to defer to you, being closer to the situation, but from the outside looking in it happened as I've suggested. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because we couldn't keep KVV fit, if he had been, as DM said in a few pre match interviews, Vassell would have been sent for his operation and not have to struggle throu until the close season, sometimes requiring pain relief to be able to play. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Motherwell signing Theo Bair, who flopped at St Johnstone, could be classed as a strange signing. Getting a guy on loan who had left this league 8 months earlier as the top scorer playing for Motherwell, regardless of how it all worked out, was not a strange signing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would suggest signing a player to play a position where you don't really have cover is less strange than signing for one where you do. Especially when the player concerned is as good as van Veen. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You seem to be the only person that thinks all of these signings are odd. Maybe those expectations are the reason your club has been in the absolute mud for the past few seasons. Kennedy is a very good player at this level, came through the youth system at this club, and was free - fail to see how that’s odd. Watkins was a low risk gamble that paid off massively. His wages were cheap, and McInnes knew exactly what to expect from him - fail to see how that’s odd. KVV was the top scorer in the country last season, and was available to provide cover incase Vassel had to bite the bullet and get the op for the injury he played through for the entire season - fail to see how that’s odd. You also said Anderson doesn’t do the things DM wants to do, but from reports, he’s a pest that will run and hassle defenders all day, links well with others, and can get around 10 goals a season. Sounds exactly like a DM killie striker. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So by that logic, if you got the option to sign Kyogo tomorrow, you’d turn him down and go for Chris Kane instead because you’ve already got Miovski. Righty-o. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's also why Derek didn't fancy him the first time around. 34 minutes ago, Nadroj said: So by that logic, if you got the option to sign Kyogo tomorrow, you’d turn him down and go for Chris Kane instead because you’ve already got Miovski. Righty-o. Deary me. To humour you, I wouldn't want Aberdeen to buy Kyogo to sit on the bench if we need to strengthen in other places. That's a million miles away from what I suggested though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, punching upwards at killie is not the answer. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
