Agree with all of this. Fallon is never a footballer in a million years and at the stage in the game that we brought him on we were exposing their defence and needed more pace not a lumbering cart horse. Was likewise impressed with Rae who rarely wastes a ball and has a bit of drive about him.
Its funny how watching games in different ways or from different views gives different perspectives. I was at the game today and the team could not be faulted on effort, every player grafter hard and I thought we should have won.
Thought Fyvvie, after a horrendous opening 25 came onto a good game (missing the open goal excluded) despite getting kicked all over the park and in general our midfield played pretty well. i wasnt too disheartened. Having read the comments on here Im not so sure as sometimes the tv shows things much clearer.
There is a good argument for giving him the money and signing him up for 3 years. We could keep him next season and then get rid in the summer making back the extra money spent and more.
The problem is if he regressed into horeshit ala Seve or Mark Kerr or Mulgrew or got seriously inured wed be left with a pig in a poke and even deeper in the hole (calm down Mizer).
I think in this case and having seen what he can do it would be worth the risk
I dont think that we were ever realistically going to be able to offer him the sort of money which will be on offer elsewhere for a proven international player.
No surprise really but were Dons fans so we have to live in hope that the boy would take leave of his senses and accidentally sign the contract when his agent wasnt looking
I agree with you RDU, I hope the boy turns out to be a good signing but it does smack slightly of desperation.
Time will tell as always, he may turn out to be a budding star, but with our track record...
Agreed Dave.
Although a mixture Zeros ability and Stavrums goal rate would be fantastic if a little out of our league at the X million it would cost us.
Yes but more consistent and effective than Zero ever was. Zero was mercurial and had all the talent in the wolrd but another zero is not what we need right now, we need someone decent and consistent in my opinion.
Well beaten by the better team who played their football on the deck.
Ive seen us beaten down there a few times but normally its us playing the football, today was the reverse.
MNot sure where the goals are going to come from because we are not creating anything.
On the positive side Arnason is a really good player albeit he got caught out of position at their goal I think
