Broon Posted January 26, 2006 Report Share Posted January 26, 2006 From the SPL highlights he looks a good player. Hopefully he will sign for Saturday as it will be nice to see some fresh faces in the midfield Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeronAddict Posted January 26, 2006 Report Share Posted January 26, 2006 Wouldn't be too unhappy with this signing. Never seen him play, but he joined Aberdeen from Leeds with a good reputation and played for them for most of the second half of last season. I think he's supposed to be a box-to-box midfielder, so in that sense he could be a good addition. But I'd be worried if it was just a loan deal with no option for a permanent contract - I'd don't think he's such a fantastic player that he's going to make a massive difference from now to the end of the season only, and I feel we need to be building for the longer term rather than just trying to acheive the unlikely goal of clawing back the midden this season.

Watty Posted January 26, 2006 Report Share Posted January 26, 2006 Could it be that OC is hoping that it would be a loan withg a view to permanent transfer? ala Dobbie? Anyone got any Dons supporting mates? What's their view on him? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LangToonSaint Posted January 26, 2006 Report Share Posted January 26, 2006 The Sun reports today that we have Winter on loan. When he came up from England Calderwood had marked him as one for the future so we may be lucky to get him on a permanent deal at the end of the season. My Dons supporting mate thinks Muirhead may be on his way to us also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broon Posted January 26, 2006 Report Share Posted January 26, 2006 The problem is if he comes here and plays brilliant they will just want him back. On the other hand, if he comes and does terrible we wouldn't want him. Loans are a means to an end - they don't really help the club in the long run. If it helps us catch St Midden though then fair enough. I wouldn't turn down ronaldinho on loan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shaggy Jenkins Posted January 26, 2006 Report Share Posted January 26, 2006 Not to happy about all this loan signing stuff. Where does this really leave us for next year.......IMO with exactly the same holes and problems we have right now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saintkev Posted January 26, 2006 Report Share Posted January 26, 2006 Not to happy about all this loan signing stuff. Where does this really leave us for next year.......IMO with exactly the same holes and problems we have right now What if, Owen has targets that he cannot get till the end of this season? What if Owen would sign a certain player if he knew what division we'd be in or who was in the division etc? Its the way of football now, and we need to make the most of it... i'd rather we filled a gap on a temporary basis than left it unfilled.

Cagey Posted January 26, 2006 Report Share Posted January 26, 2006 Not too hapy with loan signings either but as Kev says it may be to fill a hole untill close season when OC can get Hardie & a few others in. Anyway, half the SPL teams have OF players on loan so why are we too good for loan players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyle Posted January 26, 2006 Report Share Posted January 26, 2006 Would be a decent signing IMO... Will go ask some aberdeen fans just now about him... see what the concensus is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyle Posted January 26, 2006 Report Share Posted January 26, 2006 This came from a brutally honest aberdeen supporter "He's looked promising so far, comfortable defensively and not too bad going forward, very raw but has good potential, has got a great shot on him as well. He's like a very poor man's Frank Lampard. Should do ok in division 1." Very trustworthy when it comes to assessing players. Sounds like a decent signing for the first division IMO.

Nessie Posted January 26, 2006 Report Share Posted January 26, 2006 I've Seen winter on about 4/5 occasions this season (the joys of client entertaining at pittodrie) he would be a good guy to have, loan or otherwise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

auld reekie saint Posted January 26, 2006 Report Share Posted January 26, 2006 Suspect he may play Mensing as a wing back,drop Anderson and draft Winters into Midfield.Oh no still room for Henry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mainstand Posted January 26, 2006 Report Share Posted January 26, 2006 Suspect he may play Mensing as a wing back,drop Anderson and draft Winters into Midfield.Oh no still room for Henry Anderson hasn't been playing wing back in a 3, he plays central. Stevo has been right wing back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

milners Posted January 26, 2006 Report Share Posted January 26, 2006 Well as a dandy don, using this site for team news etc for betting purposes i've give you my opinion on Jamie Winter. Doesn't seem to get involved enough for me in the midfield for Aberdeen, the game seems to by pass him. He has played as a sweeper and done quite well there against Celtic got many fans man of the match that day and he really did well. Next game he was in the midfield and got subbed in the second half after being very poor. I'm not a big fan of Winter to be honest but he is still young enough to make it in the game and for a positive i suppose Brian Punty Airdrie Striker was really gash at Aberdeen and i didn't think he would ever do well but he's scored 10 goals for Airdrie this season. Also a positive Mackie went to Inverness CT when they was a first division team and did quite well there on loan and become a better player for it. I was reading after the Gretna game you think your midfield is very weak, and maybe its a short term but if it helps you team till the summer and get a decent midfielder in the summer. Good luck for the rest of the season Milners Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MUZZ Posted January 26, 2006 Report Share Posted January 26, 2006 ma sheep mate says he is a cracking player. hopefully the curse of good players turning bad at us doesnt continue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auld reekie saint Posted January 26, 2006 Report Share Posted January 26, 2006 Anderson hasn't been playing wing back in a 3, he plays central. Stevo has been right wing back. Correct but he could go back to a back four and then drop Anderson for Mensing at rightback Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
