baggy89 Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 Seem to remember him playing for milwall against Chelt a good few seasons ago and not looking great. But the last ex OF full back we signed from a mediocre L1 side(by way of Wolves) turned out reasonable. So worth a crack till Xmas surely.

Reekie_Red Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 Hmmmmm. I'm undecided about Ross. We've had worse players turn up on our doors asking to train with us. I'm not that enthusiastic about him signing for us, but then I'm actually not too miffed either. Welcome aboard, Ross. Believe me, the fact that you're an ex-hun will not have an impact on your time here ... so long as you put in maximum effort for us.

mizer Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 MAURICE Ross was today expected to sign for Aberdeen FC. The player was reluctant to discuss details of the move when contacted by the Evening Express. But the right-back was set to pen a short-term deal at Pittodrie. Ross has impressed Aberdeen FC manager Mark McGhee while training with the Dons. Mon the photo in the office Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manc_don Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 Played the full 90 against Dundee today, according to redweb he did well. Wright lasted his full 70mins and Megginson scored with a decisive finish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RDU_64 Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 Doesn't put me up or down this signing. Will be a decent player to help fill in an already thread bare defensive line. A few decent performances won't do his chances of a longer contract any harm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manc_don Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 Ross signs and set to face United Former Rangers full back agrees a deal to stay with Dons until end of the year By Michael Gannon Published: 22/10/2009 Maurice Ross has added some much-needed experience to the Aberdeen squad after last night agreeing terms on a deal to remain at Pittodrie until the end of the year. The former Rangers and Scotland full back, who was a free agent following his release by Turkish side Kocaelispor, could go straight into the Dons squad to face Dundee United on Saturday if the club can gain international clearance in time. The 28-year-old has spent the last fortnight training with the Dons and impressed in Tuesday’s closed-doors friendly encounter against Dundee at Brechin. Ross now has the chance to win a longer-term deal until the end of the season and beyond. Dons manager Mark McGhee is delighted to add such a trusted campaigner to his youthful squad, especially as his defence has been severely weakened by injuries this season to Zander Diamond, Jerel Ifil and Davide Grassi. Ross, who made more than 70 appearances in five seasons at Ibrox and who also played in England with Wolves and Millwall, will provide ideal support to the young players who have impressed so much for the Dons this term. The manager has been forced to promote youth team players ahead of schedule due to a prohibitive budget and a paucity of squad options, but the conscripts have responded to the call. Aberdeen are unbeaten in their last seven SPL matches and McGhee admitted his youngsters, such as Fraser Fyvie, Peter Pawlett, Michael Paton and Johnathan Crawford, have played a pivotal role in changing the style of play at the club. He said: “Without the young players it wouldn’t have been possible to have the run we have in the league. They have brought energy and ability. “One of my problems early on was I didn’t think we had enough people in the side who could play the style of football I wanted to play. We had a lot of people used to playing in straight lines in a 4-4-2 system, getting wide and getting crosses with almost as few passes as possible. “We introduced a more fluid passing style of playing which confused the older players as they did it at the wrong times in the wrong areas as they weren’t natural possession players. These young players have come through a system where they are more used to passing and they have been doing it.†Fyvie may be just 16 but he has already been inundated with plaudits and tipped for great things. McGhee is careful to avoid over-hyping the Scotland under-17 captain but he admitted the midfield schemer has a bright future. He said: “We have high hopes for Fraser and he certainly has a lot of attributes, with one of the main one being the ability to play in the first team at 16. Fraser is a quick learner and that is a big asset. I think we have to live with the expectations on him. But we make sure we protect him from certain things at the right time.†McGhee is set to be without Pawlett for this weekend. The 18-year-old’s hamstring injury is not as bad as first feared but it will rule him out of the New Firm derby. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
