mizer Posted August 4, 2011 Report Posted August 4, 2011 http://www.afc.co.uk/articles/20110803/redmatchday_2212158_2409455 http://www.afc.co.uk/javaImages/4/66/0,,10284~9856516,00.jpg[/img] In this week's RedMatchday Magazine there is a exclusive feature length interview with the Dons new goalkeeper David Gonzalez . The keeper speaks openly about what it was like growing up in Columbia. He gives us an insight into life at Manchester City and reveals how much he is enjoying his time in Aberdeen....... David Gonzalez "Jim Leighton is good to work with, we have a really good relationship. We enjoy every training session. I was joking with him the other day because when I first met him when I arrived in Aberdeen I recognised him. "Then I remembered that when I was little, I did the Panini albums for the World Cup, I got all the stickers, and I remember his picture really really well from the Scotland team in France 1998!! When I told Jim this he promised me he would sign his picture so I can put it over my bed! "I am really enjoying being here. We had a look around Aberdeen when we were looking for somewhere to live. It's a lovely city, lovely weather as well! Seriously, it's great, I feel really happy to be here, to be playing regularly, it's great. I am settled in a place with my wife and daughter so it's very good. Playing week in week out is so nice after the last couple of years because playing with the reserves is not the same thing, you don't get the buzz the crowds and the pressure gives you. Quote
glasgowdon Posted August 4, 2011 Report Posted August 4, 2011 Can't tell if he's any good yet. Seems to pick the ball out of the air well, something Clangers has always been pretty mince yet. Got to love the neeps waving the Colombia flag with "Arriba Gonzalez" at the start of the game last weekend. Quote
manc_don Posted August 4, 2011 Author Report Posted August 4, 2011 Sounds like a decent guy. Hopefully he won't get tested on sunday. Quote
Tyrant Posted August 5, 2011 Report Posted August 5, 2011 He got tested in our pre-season games in Germany. He failed. Booo. Sack the board. Quote
BigAl Posted yesterday at 13:50 Report Posted yesterday at 13:50 Blast from the past. His time with us might have been short and pretty unspectacular at best, but reading this he has gone up in my estimations. Clearly a very good judge of character Apologies about the source of article https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/alfredo-morelos-restrained-ex-aberdeen-34350566 Quote
Jute Posted yesterday at 14:00 Report Posted yesterday at 14:00 Well done for remembering the thread even existed. Quote
Stewart Posted yesterday at 14:07 Report Posted yesterday at 14:07 Wouldn't have recognised him. Another pretender to Clangers' throne who was seen off of course. Quote
tom_widdows Posted yesterday at 16:21 Report Posted yesterday at 16:21 Recall one good save against Dunfermline to stop them going 4-1 up (lets not talk about the 3 other goals) Magennis and an OG got it back to 3-3 with Mawane heading just wide in last minute. Quote
Jute Posted 7 hours ago Report Posted 7 hours ago 19 hours ago, Stewart said: Wouldn't have recognised him. Another pretender to Clangers' throne who was seen off of course. I am still convinced our succession of shite keepers then was the result our scouting team misunderstanding “no way you can find a worse keeper than this cunt clangers” comment from the manager.
