Ajja Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 Don't you think that Seve may just need a change in management style and a little less pressure (relieved of captains duties) to provide him with more motivation to perform like he did when his first seasons? This could all be true and as Funster says he might be worth keeping on the grounds of some decent displays as a CB but my point is that in all honesty I don't believe we will see the Seve that we have seen in the past. That doesn't mean we won't, just that there is real risk that we won't and where there is that level of risk I don't believe that a club like ours can afford to carry it. We may lose out on some great twighlight performances and UTD or Hibs may gain them but on balance I still would prefer to see us move on.

Ran the show IMO. Would like him to stay as far better player than our other options in midfield or centre half. Also cannot think of any players of the same ability that are available or if available in our price range. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Doricle Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 When Seve arrived here he was absolutely great to watch, and I can remember being surprised he'd moved to us- having seen him play fantastically well for hearts on numerous occassions in the past i was surprised that hearts let him go and that he hadn't had an offer to head south. Perhaps he went off the boil a bit there too. Still, their loss was our gain at the time. However, his performances have definitely gone downhill, especially since assuming the captain's mantle from Anderson. He still has it in him, but it looks like he needs a change. If he was one of calderwood's favourites then that's a surprise, as i would have expected him to raise his game more often over the last couple of seasons if that was the case! I feel the same way about Seve that i do about Smith- both great players, and they still are on their day, but their consistency has gone a bit for whatever reason. I'll be sorry if he does go, but feel it's possibly best for all concerned if that's what happens. I do think he will be difficult to replace though, so the new manager will have their work cut out there. We're still missing a player of Anderson's calibre after two years. If he'd still been here i think 3rd would have almost been a formality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reekie_Red Posted June 13, 2009 Share Posted June 13, 2009 Being honest, I say good riddance to Seve. He's far too inconsistent for us to afford. When he's on his game, he probably the best midfielder we've had since ... probably since Craig Hignett. But that day is only seen once every 3 or 4 months. Seve, I'm sorry we couldn't see the best of you more often. As such, farewell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mizer Posted June 15, 2009 Share Posted June 15, 2009 Severin off to Watford allegedly.......... so much for the Premiership gig with Burnley http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/2009/06/15/severin-up-for-malk-s-watford-115875-21441689/ Malky Mackay will make Aberdeen captain Scott Severin his first signing when he takes over as Watford manager today. Mackay, who succeeds Brendan Rodgers at Vicarage Road, has won the race to sign Scotland midfielder Severin, 30, on a free transfer. But Lee Williamson is on his way out of Watford in a £500,000 move to Sheffield United, while the Blades have had a £750,000 bid for another Hornets midfielder, John Joe O'Toole, rejected. Watford want at least £1million for the young Irishman. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never understood the stick Seve got as even at his worst he was 100 times better player than Young or Duff and on his day a better player than Kerr or McDonald. Will be a hard player to replace.

Will be a hard player to replace. If Seve was to operate at even 60 percent of the ability that we all know he has then he wouldn't get the pelters that come his way every week. I reckon Kerrs the perfect replacement for him. Kerrs got twice the engine that Seve ever had and can actually win the ball in midfield which Seve never seems to do anymore.
