wee toon red Posted March 21, 2021 Report Posted March 21, 2021 Gallagher's contract initially ran until the end of January, the extension was until the end of the season. He'd be a very good signing for us, especially on a free. Quote
SeeBass Posted March 31, 2021 Report Posted March 31, 2021 I always used to laugh when my English team Manchester City had the money pumped into club 2008. Villarreal had the CB & CB partnership upfront for a few years and we wanted them both at Etihad. Carlos Bacca and Cedric Bakambu. What I'd give to have a wonderful sounding strike force like that at Pittodrie next season. Quote
Stewart Posted March 31, 2021 Report Posted March 31, 2021 Miko Virtanen has signed a one year extension. https://www.afc.co.uk/2021/03/31/miko-rewarded-with-new-deal/ 1 Quote

Hopefully gets an opportunity under new coaching set up. Quote
DantheDon Posted April 1, 2021 Report Posted April 1, 2021 Is Virtanen a central midfielder? Or can he play a few positions? Id like to see him do well but think he will find it hard to get a regular game in that position for us. Quote

Id like to see him do well but think he will find it hard to get a regular game in that position for us. Defensive mid or a right back. He’s no chance of getting in at centre mid; Brown, Ferguson, McCrorie, McGeouch, Campbell all ahead of him Quote
baggy89 Posted April 9, 2021 Report Posted April 9, 2021 Wasn't it the season we played Burnely, Virtanen had played most of the warm up games and had been told he was going to start against them, then got injured the day before? Think that was at RB? Quote

HaarDon Posted April 15, 2021 Report Posted April 15, 2021 Someone on the other forum mentioned Jordan Rhodes who's out of contract. Quote

HaarDon Posted April 15, 2021 Report Posted April 15, 2021 He was the best striker in ' Ungreat Britain' at one point once and still banging a few in I think. Quote

I wouldn't say he was even that good in the first place - a pure poacher who needed the whole team set up to compensate for his inability to do the dirty work, scored goals with bad teams but failed to do so with better ones, etc. He's a bit like Shankland if Shankland was six years older and hadn't had a good season since 2015.

HaarDon Posted April 15, 2021 Report Posted April 15, 2021 He was certainly pretty shite for Scotland Quote
RicoS321 Posted April 28, 2021 Report Posted April 28, 2021 Been linked with McGrath at St Mirren. Really good player. I'm surprised there hasn't been a lot of hype around him to be honest. I'm assuming we're looking at a 3-7-0 next season. Quote

Going to have to be that to accommodate all the central midfielders we will have on our books.

DantheDon Posted April 28, 2021 Report Posted April 28, 2021 I wonder if we will be back to having our targets all over the papers with Glass. One of the things I enjoyed about the McInnes era was that by the time we heard about it we had the deal just about done. I presume the reason for announcing your targets is to get there attention and let them know how interested you are but its frustrating for the fans if it comes to nothing. Quote
sancho_panza Posted April 28, 2021 Report Posted April 28, 2021 Hernandez seems to have been left out the last two Atlanta squads completely despite their starting right back being injured. Quote
