manc_don Posted January 28 Report Posted January 28 Always said I was surprised we went for him in the first place, but wanted it to work out and I never thought we got the best of him. Injuries have always been his issue and that certainly played a part, but still, probably not the player we needed. wish him well. Quote
Kowalski Posted January 28 Report Posted January 28 I actually thought he was quite a decent left back, certainly in his most recent games. If MacKenzie leaves will we have a natural left back? Quote

If MacKenzie leaves will we have a natural left back? I am guessing he is being let go as MacKenzie is here until the summer. Would be madness to go without any naturally left footed defenders in the team. I thought McGarry was defensively poor in most games. Looked a level below what we need. 1 Quote
Jute Posted January 29 Report Posted January 29 Hearts and Hibs allegedly interested in Jamie McGrath. Apologies for the source. Same article suggest we are still after a striker and another central defender. Another central midfielder is mentioned if we can get a few out. Quote

Same article suggest we are still after a striker and another central defender. Another central midfielder is mentioned if we can get a few out. Sounds like an agent trying to get him a better contract offer. Us, hearts, Hibs are definitely his level, I don't see him getting a lucrative offer from down South. The states or somewhere might be an option if he's looking for a move with his family. I like McGrath, he's a good player and we'll struggle to replace him. He goes into his shell a little when things get tough, and doesn't try the passes we know he can make, or often he just gets lazy with them like he doesn't believe he can make them. That's up to the manager to address though, to try and protect him from some of the flak. I hope he stays for another couple of years. 2 Quote
redordead Posted January 29 Report Posted January 29 I'm not that bothered if he goes, tidy feet but lacks influence on games for me. 1 Quote
Reekie_Red Posted January 30 Report Posted January 30 Yeah no doubting McGrath's ability, but I do question his application. Didn't he reject a previous approach from us before he went to Wigan? Quote
BigAl Posted Friday at 14:07 Author Report Posted Friday at 14:07 Rubi is offski Away to Sakaryaspor. No further details yet Really wanted him to work out and be a real cult hero. Quote

Kinda glad he/we didn't have to endure him having another 'mare,and the following abuse. Hopefully freed up space for an incomer.Heard 2 were potentially on their way in,but only if a couple out first 1 Quote
Panda Posted Friday at 14:41 Report Posted Friday at 14:41 Rubezic to Turkey is a non-story, club have denied it. Might be his agent trying to engineer interest or Turkey have their own Agent Alba. Rubezic is in the squad for tomorrow. Quote
Panda Posted Friday at 15:41 Report Posted Friday at 15:41 Anyway, why would Rubezic want to leave when we're about to sign a wee (big) pal for him to keep him company. Watched his highlights and he looks gash, and his scoring record is pretty much non-existent. But, he has height, can play deep and bring others into the game, so maybe he's the foil to create the chances for Keskinen & Okkels. Plus he's only 21 so sell on value if he turns out to be any good. Quote
BigAl Posted Friday at 16:01 Author Report Posted Friday at 16:01 Another striker that doesn't strike Quote
Jute Posted Friday at 17:21 Report Posted Friday at 17:21 No goals in 17 games in Serbian top flight and no assists. Really hope not as that’s not just the bottom of the barrel but the under side of it being scraped. 1 Quote
manc_don Posted Friday at 18:34 Report Posted Friday at 18:34 Those stats are horrendous, especially at a club of red stars stature and dominance in that league. Wtf is going on at AB24?!? Quote
tlg1903 Posted Friday at 19:04 Report Posted Friday at 19:04 Milan paid 4 million for him a few seasons ago so he can't be totally hopeless. As Panda points out he could be a player that fits the system well but I do agree the mini skirts are hardly encouraging. According to wiki it's 5 goals in 75 senior appearances....... Quote

Not sure about what scout but It will have to go through this guy if we do sign Lazetic. https://www.afc.co.uk/2024/12/19/nuno-de-almeida-to-lead-on-player-recruitment/ Quote
manc_don Posted Saturday at 03:39 Report Posted Saturday at 03:39 As someone pointed out to me on Twitter, even miovski had paltry numbers before he moved to MTK. But my biggest issue is , is that we need a striker that will be guaranteed to score goals, not another project. We’ve already got those in Ambrose, bavidge, duk and Sokler. Not sure we should be touching anyone with a meagre end product as that. Sometimes we’re gonna have to break from our model. Quote
Reekie_Red Posted Saturday at 05:13 Report Posted Saturday at 05:13 Sky Sports News' Anthony Joseph suggests we are interested in Maccabi Tel-Aviv centre-back Tyrese Asante. It’s understood the Dons held talks to sign the 22-year-old last summer while he was at Den Haag, but nothing developed further. Asante was close to joining Galatasary, before they were gazumped by Maccabi. The Netherlands U21 international has two-and-a-half years left on his contract, with the club having an option to extend by a further year. Quote

The Netherlands U21 international has two-and-a-half years left on his contract, with the club having an option to extend by a further year. Played mainly at right back for ADO and his games for Mcabbi seem to have been split between right back and centre back. Only went to Israel in the summer and played nearly all Mcabbi’s games this season so seems odd they would be letting him go. Player himself could of course have decided living beside and taking money from homicidal maniacs isn’t great and asked to move. Seems and odd one for us given we have signed Tobers and Jensen this month who both already can play role this lad does. Quote
