I'm not suggesting Considine has the quality of Michael Duberry, but look at the impact that he had on Steven Anderson when he signed for us. I think Davidson will be looking for something similar with Considine bringing on Mahon and Cleary. He is also a leader, something which we didn't have enough of last season. Slightly concerned about his recent injury troubles though. Considine is 35, hasn't finished a match since last August, rejected Aberdeens contract offer which would put him amongst our highest earners, and broke down 45 minutes into his first match since recovering from injury. Absolutely no idea what the plan is here. He'll be signing as first choice but is a cripple. Linky, R.B.B:- Adz and Shaggy Jenkins 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course if you were talking about the Livi jack hanilton who scored goals for fun on loan at Arbroath last season I would be fully onboard.

Hence I mentioned my concerns about his recent injury troubles, although you would hope that the club would have assurances about the extent of his injuries before committing to a contract. As for wages, absolutely no chance we will be paying him anywhere near what he was looking for at Aberdeen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RandomGuy Posted June 16, 2022 Report Share Posted June 16, 2022 2 year deal for Considine, who's 35 and hasn't completed a game of football without injury since August. Outstanding stuff. Shaggy Jenkins and R.B.B:- Adz 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Linky Posted June 16, 2022 Report Share Posted June 16, 2022 Whatever way you look at it, a 2 year deal for a 35 year old is pretty shocking. Shaggy Jenkins and PSJ.84 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrBored Posted June 16, 2022 Report Share Posted June 16, 2022 I can sort of see a logic. Last season we went into the campaign after the window with too many inexperienced players, particularly the two at the back (Dendocker & Muller). This should see us with four central defenders competing for what you would expect to be three places. All three will consider themselves as being good enough to start. We are bound to have injuries, so like for like quality to come in. How much of the finances have gone in getting him in is the concern though as I feel we have bigger issues in midfield than in central defence.

pezza70 Posted June 16, 2022 Report Share Posted June 16, 2022 Aberdeen are saving on his wages and just accepted 4.5 mill for Ramsey from Liverpool, they could bring a few good players without breaking the bank. As for us we may as well bring Jim Weir and Darren Dods back to partner him at the back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linky Posted June 16, 2022 Report Share Posted June 16, 2022 On paper it's not a bad signing, but when you bring in the other factors it most definitely is: - he turned down a deal at Aberdeen partly because he wanted first-team football. This means we have guaranteed this. Who are we going to drop? Our captain, or one of the players that we brought in at considerable cost last season? - he turned down a new deal at Aberdeen because they weren't willing to pay enough. Presumably we are, which means he's going to be a high earner - he has serious injury problems and is 35. At that age, you're unlikely to recover from those injuries for very long before they reappear again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poor guy sat on the bench which I think was pissing him off as he looked a bit disinterested when warming up at half time . Had to play last game when McCart was unavailable and had a great game. Now he might be replaced by a guy who has not played much football for a season , is a known crock who broke down in the last game he played. Hope we are not paying anything near the wages he was wanting at Aberdeen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blueheaven Posted June 16, 2022 Report Share Posted June 16, 2022 I'm OK with these signings but would question giving a two year deal to a 35-year-old with recent injury issues. Is Considine left-footed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
templeofsaints Posted June 16, 2022 Report Share Posted June 16, 2022 Happy enough its just 1yr for both - less of a risk that way. Can't see Considine starting though - Mahon will have the starting jersey IMHO with Considine as cover from the bench. As for Wright he was ok when with us but I feel after the way he left us (after Saints looking after him through a long injury) it left a bit of a bad taste. I think he's got a lot to prove at Saints. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
