A llad insane Posted June 5, 2018 Report Posted June 5, 2018 Welcome to the pleasure dome Chris Quote
manc_don Posted June 5, 2018 Author Report Posted June 5, 2018 Sounds like a great signing, welcome aboard the good ship ! Quote
TheDeeDon Posted June 6, 2018 Report Posted June 6, 2018 Just watched his interview on Redtv, McInnes has said to him that he sees him as a key player going forward and that he sees him as the main passer of the ball. Would pretty much confirm that he's McLean's direct replacement. Paid a fee, gave him a three year contract and he has a decent enough goals reel ( Check them all on Youtube ) I have a good feeling about him. Welcome aboard Chris. All well and good about a direct replacement for McLean, but I just hope we don't have to wait two and a half years to see the best of him like we did McLean. Welcome aboard loon Quote
DollyLongstaffe Posted June 6, 2018 Report Posted June 6, 2018 McLean's form before his transfer was good enough to get him in the Scotland squad and a club willing to pay a fee and offer him a weekly wage more than 3 times what we could afford to pay. It can't have been all that bad. Quote

It can't have been all that bad. I much preferred the Kenny McLean of the last few months of last season, more in keeping with the player I thought we had signed. I think he is a good player, but I don't think DM used him correctly for the majority of his time with us. He played a big part in us finishing second and will be a big miss for us. Quote
KennyFuckinPowers Posted June 6, 2018 Report Posted June 6, 2018 I much preferred the Kenny McLean of the last few months of last season, more in keeping with the player I thought we had signed. I think he is a good player, but I don't think DM used him correctly for the majority of his time with us. He played a big part in us finishing second and will be a big miss for us. Interestingly, I always thought McLean played as an attacking central midfielder for St Mirren, not the deep lying sitting midfielder role in where McInnes played him, and if you look at every comment from Peterborough fans regarding Forrester, they all say the very same, that he's an attacking central midfielder and not a deep lying one, and they attribute that to his eventual decline there. I got the impression from his interview that he's been told he'll be playing the deep lying role but he later said he personally prefers playing behind the Striker, suppose that'll depend on whether we get McGeough or not. Interestingly again, I see the balloon that is Steve Evans has said Forrester is the only player he may regret selling out of all of the players he made available for transfer.... “I’ve managed teams for over 900 times in my career and I cannot think of one player who has gone on to haunt me after I’ve let him go. “I’ve sold players who have gone on to do well at higher levels, but I’ve never regretted putting anyone on the transfer list. “Chris Forrester could be the first. I had to think long and hard before making him available, but I feel it’s the right decision for both parties. I wouldn’t be surprised if he rediscovered his best form, but I will be in a hurry next season. I can’t afford to wait for anyone.

baggy89 Posted June 6, 2018 Report Posted June 6, 2018 He's constantly in a hurry... To shovel, more pies into his gob, money into his pocket and talk even more shite. Quote
Ten Caat Posted June 6, 2018 Report Posted June 6, 2018 Still meh about Forrester but now he is on board I'm prepared to let him prove me wrong. Welcome aboard loon Quote
tlg1903 Posted June 6, 2018 Report Posted June 6, 2018 https://londonroad.net/Forum/showthread.php?tid=15014 Very encouraging comments from Peterborough fans. Sounds like he could be a great bit of business if can find some form. Quote
LA-Don Posted June 6, 2018 Report Posted June 6, 2018 I am optimistic and will give this guy my support......but.........this is very much a typical Aberdeen DM signing after reading all the comments (particularly from Peterborough fans.) Sounds like he's lost his form, used to be a stud, much like Stevie May, GMS, Stewart, etc when we signed them. Fingers crossed!! Quote

Sounds like he could be a great bit of business if can find some form. I wouldn't say "very encouraging". On the contrary, they've been saying he's been poor for an extended period. And this is a mid-League 1 side! Interesting how little regard they have for AFC, talking about sell on clauses etc. They perceive Scottish football to be pish. Quote

I thought it was only one who thought it was pish, but a graveyard what is this guy smoking? By and large it sounds like there's a player, hopefully we utilise him correctly and manage to get him to recapture his form. When did Evans take over? Hopefully that coincided with his drop in form more than anything else. Quote

Here's hoping Forrester can make the step up from League 1 Quote
baggy89 Posted June 7, 2018 Report Posted June 7, 2018 Jesus this boy's thick as pig shit so bound do be a decent footballer. Good to know he can do the passing and the shooting and that he can pass to lads that can do the goal scoring and maybe score some goals himself and run about the pitch a bit and maybe do some tackles, win the ball and pass to someone to score so we can win the game. :D Quote
donsdaft Posted June 7, 2018 Report Posted June 7, 2018 Definitely avoid giving him complicated instructions Quote
Elgindon Posted June 7, 2018 Report Posted June 7, 2018 Sounds like he's on a similar mental wavelength to Willo,... though thats maybe a bit harsh on Willo. Hopefully he can run around and stuff.Ah the best loon Quote
Ten Caat Posted June 7, 2018 Report Posted June 7, 2018 Few sevconians reckon Kenny Miller is on the verge of signing for us. Hope to f@ck theyve been on the jungle juice and are just havering Quote
tom_widdows Posted June 7, 2018 Report Posted June 7, 2018 Few sevconians reckon Kenny Miller is on the verge of signing for us. Hope to f@ck theyve been on the jungle juice and are just havering I'm open-minded to Miller in a Dons Shirt. Just thinking back to Calderwood bringing a 40 year old Craig Brewster out of retirement as an 'impact sub'. 3 goals in 7 appearances (according to wiki) and he set up the equaliser at Tynecastle which effectively guaranteed European football. I also reckon he would be a significant weapon against Gerrard's barmy army. Doubt it will happen though Quote
Lencarl Posted June 8, 2018 Report Posted June 8, 2018 If Miller was 3 or 4 years younger no problem. On saying that sign him up just to play in the Sevco games. Would be such a laugh seeing him at Ibrox in a Don's shirt. Quote
Guest kiriakovisthenewstrachan Posted June 8, 2018 Report Posted June 8, 2018 To be fair he would carry more of a goal threat than either May or Cosgrove and probably on a par with Rooney. Quote
RicoS321 Posted June 8, 2018 Report Posted June 8, 2018 If Miller was 3 or 4 years younger no problem. On saying that sign him up just to play in the Sevco games. Would be such a laugh seeing him at Ibrox in a Don's shirt. Him and Tavernier have been there best two players when playing us in recent years. He's been a very solid professional with exceptional work rate. That game at the end of the previous season when they tanked us at Pittodrie, he was immense. He holds himself to very high standards, and I'd expect that'd brush off on those around him. If we can get a season out of him then he'd be an excellent signing. The boot up the arse that both Rooney and May need. Quote
manc_don Posted June 8, 2018 Author Report Posted June 8, 2018 To this day, the second most orange person I’ve met. First obviously being Calderwood. Wouldn’t have any issues with him signing, old he may be but he’s a professional Quote
Lencarl Posted June 8, 2018 Report Posted June 8, 2018 Dave Baldwin..Millers agent He said: “Management is something that has always appealed to him and he could be a player/manager next season. “We’d need to ensure that the situation was right for him but I’ve represented top managers and I’ve no doubt that Kenny could become one.“He has all the attributes you need — he ticks all the boxes. This may be the route that Miller will take, but who knows. Quote
