Easy to name former players but Marley Watkins has only played 222 minutes for Aberdeen this season and has missed just 1 game through injury so clearly not favoured at Aberdeen. Watkins will be on about £5k a week at Aberdeen. No chance they will be letting him come here for free. Nor would he have any interest in playing in the Championship either. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree it’s unlikely he’d want to drop level but I’d be surprised if they’re paying 5K a week to a minimal squad player (bad business if they are) Edited January 21, 2023 by Guest 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see a couple more players being released before the end of the month. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RiG Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 Ooops - forgot to post about this! New pod out now with the usual review of some of the previous games (had to leave a few out due to time constraints), discussion about Dodds, interviews with Dan MacKay and Mark Ridgers and we also have a special guest panellist in the form of Liam Keogh! Finally, if you follow us on Twitter, like and RT the tweet below promoting the pod you're in with a chance of winning a signed ICT shirt. Lovely stuff! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think Byrne ever actually played for us - he was signed because he was friends with Brewster and then turned up on the bench a couple of times. Tarmo Kink was perhaps the most disappointing. He came with a pretty decent pedigree and just wasn't interested. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yes Kink was a letdown. He got a mention too if I mind right. Edited January 25, 2023 by RiG 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One who didn't get a mention was Alex MacDonald in 2011 - he was signed on loan from Burnley, only scored once and was generally not very good. He does seem to have forged out a good career down south though. I don't think Dean Ebbe got a mention either. He wasn't a bad player but when you're staring relegation in the face I'm not sure a young inexperienced striker from the Irish third tier is really the player we should've been looking at.

If ever a signing encapsulated the Richie Foran era, it was Dean Ebbe. A likeable Irish amateur who was well out of his depth. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Highland Capital Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 Had we kept Ebbe on for the following season he might’ve come good - he did have a bit of drive about him - but he was never going to get a proper chance and it certainly wasn’t the time to be throwing him in. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bdu98196 Posted January 26, 2023 Share Posted January 26, 2023 Tbh, poor signings on low salaries or loans is frustrating, but not as bad as poor players signed on decent contracts for long duration...............Jordan Roberts was one I recall. Arsenal youth product, big expectations and didnt deliver 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jordan Roberts was a bit later than him and plagued by injuries in his spell here, did score a corker against Motherwell in the cup I think 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
