Linky Posted January 14, 2020 Report Share Posted January 14, 2020 Aberdeen have a tight squad. The only players I’d see them offering in any deal would be Ash Taylor (centre-back), Stephen Gleeson (centre-mid) & Bruce Anderson (striker). Scott Wright is injured and Curtis Main is only 6 months into a new contract. Hearts offering Berra makes no sense. They’ve already told him that he can find a new club for free.

Which players? To lose Kennedey would be a serious blow to us and despite some saying we have cover, his style isn't going to be replaced easily. I doubt Aberdeen are willing to part with serious cash and I don't like the idea of us taking on another couple of fringe dumplings who can't make at Aberdeen.

Watt looked like a good player to me but faded, unfortunately. I'd have been happy to see him stay as I think he may well have come good for us again. May and MOH have both shown in the past that they're good players. I don't remember seeing many complaints on here when we brought MOH back, and I really don't see who else we would have got instead of May that would have been any better. For me the issue isn't signing those players - it's finding a system that gets the best out of them.

Or, just more competition at right-back? Also, does this mean we won’t be signing a centre-back in this window? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A huge amount is down to confidence too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tucker Posted January 14, 2020 Report Share Posted January 14, 2020 To be honest MOH was our best player start of the season, himself and spoony have been unlucky that Kennedy and Wright have played so well, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cagey Posted January 14, 2020 Report Share Posted January 14, 2020 Think Kennedy would have signed in the summer if he had been given an offer. Tommy seems to be blaming Steve & saying he hoped Kirsten would do better. Not his exact words but it's the gist from memory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That could give an indication if he is going this window or summer. Personally not fused either way as we have an over abundance of midfielders. tucker 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is one player who stands out from the rest of the team week in week out. Matt Kennedy. It's a real shame that we couldn't get him signed for Saints for the longer term. garydavidson 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wrong .....I do watch Saints every week. The point I was making like all other players they are passing through, however long they stay for. If he is not signing for Saints then if the deal is correct he can go now, if it is not then summer. Hopefully Kennedy if he stays will perform like Liam Craig did before his move to Hibs.

MrBored Posted January 14, 2020 Report Share Posted January 14, 2020 Dont have much of a problem with Kennedy going to Aberdeen and getting more dosh etc. Can't see us letting him go at this time of the season as I very much doubt Aberdeen would offer us much cash/players to get the deal done. As for Hearts, we would be mad to let him go there before the end of the season, regardless of what they may offer. Why would we strengthen a relegation rival by allowing them to take our most in-form player and potentially giving us one their worst performing players. Hearts will probably get themselves out of the hole they are in, but we don't need to be helping them. Not against us going for Berra. Not as a first team player, but perhaps someone who can fill a spot for injury/suspension and potentially some sort of coaching role so that the likes of Duffy and Tanser learn to defend properly. Ralston comes into that bracket as well, but I don't see him being here long-term. RandomGuy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

garydavidson Posted January 15, 2020 Report Share Posted January 15, 2020 I guess we will at least find out this weekend if Saints have any intention of keeping him or if Aberdeen have made a good offer.

We have to accept that we are going to be a club that will unearth some gems who will move on to biggest clubs and whilst it is annoying it will open the door for some other players who are maybe in the same position as matty was when he came to the club and will see us as a way forward. Sad to see him go but players move on that is the world we love in. templeofsaints, Kilgour, SaintJet and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny B Posted January 15, 2020 Report Share Posted January 15, 2020 (edited) I read McInnes wants to sign Kennedy before the week end. This will be so he is not cup tied with us. If Kennedy is not playing this week end he is away. Edited January 15, 2020 by Johnny B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
