Maybe instead of just posting nonsense you could provide us with your own take on the top 16-18 players in the league and if you think they could challenge the old firm.

More insecurity and projection. You're not dealing very well with people commenting on your shite selection when that seems to be the reason for the thread. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DukDukGoose Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 Boyce would not stroll in to the Aberdeen team ahead of Ramirez.

Essentially you've just done what English journos do. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I imagine Dundee fans wouldn't have fancied too many Aberdeen players after your game. I think you'd struggle to put a team together that you'd fancy to win the league from the ten. There's players in other teams that would improve Hearts, but not by an amount that would transform our team dramatically. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of Dundee fans would happily have most of the players in our squad and would assume there manager would do more with them than ours has. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's definitely 5 or 6 we'd take but I wouldn't thank you for absolute jobbers like Woods, Gallagher, Devlin, Brown, Ojo, Bates, Jenks, Gurr or Longstaff. Even players like Hayes & McGinn are arguably just at Aberdeen out of a sense of loyalty rather than reflective of what they bring to the table now a days. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheese Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 So, Gordon, Ramsey, Souttar and Boyle are pretty unanimous stick ons. The rest are a case of player that I like/plays for my team is better than player who plays for a team I don't like. It would take a bad year by both OF sides for a best of the rest squad to even get within 6 points of the title. In fact, take away the 1st choice XI of both arse cheeks, would a Best of the Rest finish ahead of an OF reserve side ? (I'll assume Julien, Jack, Kent and Helander are 1st choices when fit) McLaughlin / Barkas Patterson / Ralston Bassey / Taylor Starfelt / Welsh / Balogun/ Simpson Bacuna / Arfield / Lundstram / Bitton Mccarthy / Soro Johnson / Forrest / Wright / Barker Roofe / Ajeti A bit light at centre back tbf. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've not seen enough of Ramirez to fairly judge, but from what I have seen he seems fairly pointless without support as he can't hold the ball up. I think Boyce can play well without support. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wastecoatwilly Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 It's easy to look at the league table and see Hearts and Dundee utd are the best of the rest, for me best defenders come from St mirren and St johnstone and maybe Hearts and Dundee utd. Midfielders are very much down to opinion, if your looking for a DM Brown is the only choice,for a wee bit more Baningime is the choice,for a player to control the tempo and create Campbell is a better player than Ferguson so none of them get in, i like Newell but is he good enough. It was easy to see Turnbull's quality duz the league have somebody just as good I don't think so. Strikers Ramirez looks the pick if you're looking for 2 Nisbet is the best plus Boyle gives you pace. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DC92 Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 18 hours ago, gudge1903 said: Baningime and Boyce wouldn't make it into an AFC team ahead of Brown and Watkins or Ramirez. Strange even trying to even suggest otherwise. I'm sure league table will show conclusively in May for any doubters. Running out of steam after the first quarter of a season and found out after the "surprise package" bit has worn off. Always the same story with their scattergun signing policy and collection of misfits they collect. Gordon makes that team look a lot better than it is. Could have been 5 for AFC** not in top gear yet. Best keeper in league. Classic overreaction to one or two results post here. Our recruitment set-up and approach is completely different to before, so that comparison to previous seasons doesn't really ring true. As for scattergun, Aberdeen signed about twice as many new players as we did this summer and look sure to have a worse hit rate than us. What does a team "not in top gear yet" mean by the way? How is a team "not in top gear yet" distinguishable from a team that is in top gear but just isn't that good? Did you think "I can't wait for this team to reach top gear" earlier in the season just before they started getting pumped every week? And as good as Gordon's save from Ramirez was, it would have been some achievement for Aberdeen to score 5 from 5 on target with any keeper in there. For the avoidance of doubt, we were horrific on Saturday and were well beaten. If that was an indication of how we'll play for the rest of the season then we will plummet down the table. There's been no other indication of that though, especially since August, and our performances have generally been good even when results haven't. Either way, we might still finish behind Aberdeen because they've got a decent squad and we struggle to kill teams off when we're on top. As for the question in the OP - probably not. The lack of a standout striker would probably be the biggest problem. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure it's a whooosh,but Dean Campbell is better player than Ferguson IMO, With Brown this is Aberdeen's best midfield. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
