Hertsscot Posted August 8, 2017 Author Share Posted August 8, 2017 Jamie Walker away? I guess who takes over at Hearts will have a major say on that one. If Cathro had stayed then I'd think he would have been off but with a new manager it might be different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamntg Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 I reckon United will bring in one more now that Coll Donaldson has been freed. Probably Paul Quinn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walker will be away, he has burned his bridges Hopefully Hearts bring in a keeper otherwise Hamilton is going to keep costing us goals and points this season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drew Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 (edited) 2 or 3 more will come into Aberdeen but a question mark on quality. We'll obviously be getting a striker, a winger / attacking midfielder and someone who can fill in at the back and midfield. As usual if we don't get our preferred targets we'll just fill those positions with wildcard loan signings which can be hit and miss. For every decent loan we've had an Alan Tate.

How many loanees can you have, you've already got Stewart and Christie? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the maximum we've ever had at one time was 3 but they were from outwith Scotland. I'm saying loans it could also be handing out 6 month or 1 year contracts to free agents but I can't think of many cases McInnes has done that.

He played like he was herding sheep. Terrible player. Was glad to see the back of him. The lad from WBA was poor too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The list below is players we've had in on 6 month loans or lasted 6 months and only 3 of them made a regular start. Madison and Quinn were useful in some games. The rest were just squad fillers. Michael Hector Alan Tate Jeffrey Monakana Donervon Daniels Danny Ward Josh Parker Ryan McLaughlin Simon Church Adam Colin Wes Burns James Madison Gregg Wylde Nicky Weaver Andy Driver Paul Quinn Josh Parker was a strange one as he played a big part coming on against Celtic when we were down to ten men and drawing to help us win the game. He then turned to rubbish. Edited August 9, 2017 by drew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He then turned to rubbish. You're right, having looked at that list, Daniels was probably one of the slightly better names. I can't even remember Adam Colin (had to Google!)? Hector, Ward, Maddison and to a lesser extent Church were probably the more successful loanees. I always thought we could have got more out of Monakana and Burns but see that neither has hardly played since being with us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drew Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 i thought Church was a good signing. If we're struggling to get a striker at the very end of the transfer window I wouldn't be against taking him back in on a short term deal. Maddison was good but I think including him in the team usually caused an issue with balance. He seemed to replace McGinn on the wing a lot (league cup final) but did little defensive work and was always caught in the middle of the park. I felt that played a big part to our inconsistent first half of the season. Christie in the second half of the season was a massive upgrade. Guys like Ward and Hector were obviously well researched and known to the management team as they were signed very early in the transfer windows. Most of the others were signed in the last week of the transfer window trying to fill in holes in the squad. Just feel the squad fillers is all we are going to get now.

SMcoolJ Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 Wasn't a fan of Church. An almost Identical player to Rooney. Thought it was a strange/desperate loan signing. He only proved slightly useful because Rooney got injured. Had Rooney not been injured, not sure what Church would have brought. Would add that I'm not a Rooney fan.....! Agree regarding Maddison and I think this was due, in part, to the fact McInnes couldn't figure out how to put out a balanced team with him in it. League Cup Final being the best evidence of that.

The way to get a balanced team was by dropping McLean. Mcinnes just wasn't prepared to do that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This or play McLean deeper by dropping Jack or moving Shinnie to left back. Could also just accept that it wasn't possible to fit Maddison into the starting 11 so keep him on the bench. I'd probably go for dropping McLean as he was quite slow at getting his season started and was deserving of being dropped for a bit. If McGinn was needing rested because he played in the Euros then Wes Burns was the obvious replacement to keep some width and protection for the full back.

Dropping McLean would have given us a more balanced team. But also a better team with more heart, energy and dig along with less pointing, diving and generally being a bit sh1t!
