I watched bits of the game.  Wasn’t a game where you’d could form much of an opinion in fairness.

I guess the RWB but isn’t hugely relevant, if we play with a back four.  Pretty sure Wilson don’t be here next season.  Whether he’s sold or loaned out, I don’t know but I don’t see how he has much of future based on recent match day 18 selections.

I’m not really one for black and white statements, but I do not see us paying anything like £2m, £500k+ maybe.

It would have to be conditional, surely?

Lots….see separate post below ⬇️ 

Nige has already said we will be continuing with our current approach to spending, ie not much.

 

He’s back playing post hernia surgery, https://www.pressandjournal.co.uk/fp/sport/football/aberdeen-fc/5760241/aberdeen-barry-robson-ross-mccrorie-bristol-city-interest/

Playing for Aberdeen tonight, looks like right wing back from app I am looking at.

Was playing there prior to injury when I saw him against Rangers, too.

Intriguing, seeing as we ditched that system a while ago.

Genuinely have no idea if Nige sees him as a RB, CB or DM.

I think Nige will see him mainly as a CB but having this level of versatility would be great for us 

Similar thought process for JB too - LB/LWB or MF

Yes and played very well apparently. 

European football for Aberdeen secured, and their last game of the season on Saturday. 

Presumably we'll see McCrorie announced shortly after...

I hear of a transfer from Scotland and all I can think of is Richard Foster, Marc Wilson, Stephen McManus and Andy Webster…. Absolute shite!

For every Foster, there's a Paul Hartley.

Hi all, 

been a while, as previous post Bryan & Mcorie are both done. We are not in for the AFC Wimbledon striker & we are extremely close to bringing in a championship centre back. 
 

have a great weekend, be patient & enjoy the sunshine.

A championship CB on a free transfer or for a fee, say, from a side who’s just been relegated?

could the championship CB potentially be a Premier League CB next season if we weren’t to sign him?

Does this mean Kalas is turning us down?

You could be sent to Coventry if you aren't careful.... :whistle: :)

I’ve watched a couple of 90s and some highlights too…set todays to record.

So far looks pretty poor. Looks like he would get caught every time they play inside down the right. 

Gets caught for pace and does not track his runner.

It’s against Celtic and maybe he is not interested as leaving.

He is not £2m worth looking at this so far.

We’ve just been name-checked as interested in McCrorie.

I like McCrorie the more I watch….leggy player but uses both feet which is good.

Looks good technically and seems two footed as you mention.

I don't think RWB is a position that particularly suits him, but he's defending ok apart from one time where he let his man drift goal side and he hasn't been able to go forward much due to Aberdeen being pegged back with an absent midfield.

Difficult to formulate an opinion after seeing him for just 45 minutes and with him playing in a position in which he's unlikely to feature with us.

Watching this match is like watching football on fast forward - it’s so fast and frantic. Aberdeen are overwhelmed with incessant Celtic attacks and whenever they win the ball they almost immediately give it away … on two or three occasions their keeper has kicked from his hands straight to Joe Hart!
 

Against this backdrop, McCrorie has been ok but not exceptional though the same description applies to most of the Aberdeen players (except the ones who are crap!).

Think most games in Scotland when they play against the old firm must be like this, basically like a side promoted into the Prem then facing Arsenal or Liverpool, you get about 25% possession & it is a constant game of defending.

He’s been ok, won a fair few headers on the diagonal from goal kicks but as has been pointed out above, we don’t play wing backs & so he’s not going to play there.

Reminds me a bit of Bradley Orr, which isn’t a bad thing.

Well we just got a mention as McCrorie got subbed off but based on todays game I'm not excited by what I saw, that said Aberdeen as a team have been pretty lacklustre so it will be hard to shine in that kind of performance.

First time he’s been subbed off all season….announce Ross McCrorie (imho).

To whom you were replying…pretty much all Celtic’s threat / chances came down the inside of Hayes on the other side, nor down Aberdeen’s right.

The poster to whom he replied famously said this & refused to back down, despite the mounting evidence.

McCrorie just subbed off, think he’ll be here soon.

One player who has impressed me is Matt O'Riley for Celtic.

22 years old midfielder signed from MK Dons for 1.5m, good signing for Celtic.

 

 

Yes, lovely passer.

Especially as he played as a makeshift RWB which he won't be doing here.

Aberdeen have been woeful, really poor.
