In or Out

[mizer]

Which of players in the squad do you definitely want to see in the squad next year and leave off those you would like to be released/sold/not re-signed.

[wee toon red]

Langfield, Mulgrew, Foster, Diamond, Considine, Maguire, Kerr, Aluko, Pawlett, Marshall, Paton, Megginson, Fyvie, Grimmer.

 

I'll probably be in the minority by choosing to keep 14 but I reckon that group with a decent boss and a sprinkling of experienced new signings, adding in the rest of the kids coming through and we'll be grand.

I shocked myself by picking 12.

Same here.

10 for me:

 

Langfield (though I'd prefer someone better)

Foster

Diamond

Considine

Aluko

Pawlett

Paton

Megginson

Fyvie

Grimmer

 

Thought hard about Duff, Young, Mackie and Maguire.  I'd probably be tempted to keep Duff as a squad player. Maguire I think has the potential but I reckon maybe a change is best for both parties now. Mackie and Young have their uses as squad players, but I think both are indicative of the general malaise that's been over Pittodrie for a couple of years now and would be better for everyone if they could find new clubs.

As BB said, would be tempted to keep Duff as a squad player as he offers a certain degree of versatility but would sacrifice him for someone better who plays in one or two of his positions. Maguire I would keep as I would like to see him given a prolonged run starting up front and see what he can do. Young and Mackie, good servants to the club but time to part amicably and wish each other all the best for the future. I thought long and hard about Mulgrew but aside from him leaving this summer, what does he actually contribute to the team? Always a danger from set-pieces, however his defending is suspect most of the time and he has never excelled when pushed into a midfield role. Saying that I would probably keep him given the chance.

[Sebastien]

Gone for Langfield (more pressing areas of the team to be sorted first) Mulgrew, Zander, Aluko, Pawlett, Paton & Fyvie.

 

For me, the rest can get a job in the Torry Fish Bar...

who what where now?

[scotfree]

Foster

Diamond

Considine

Maguire

Aluko

Grassi

Paton

Pawlett

Ifil

Fyvie

Grimmer

Thats who i would keep.

I think with the right Manager and a "few good " new signings we could have a good Team there.

[scotfree]

Who would have seen the day when most of us want to keep Foster?

That's because we can't keep what we don't currently have.

[tsr]

Another interesting aspect is the most popular players tend to be youngsters and some who haven't even played a game for us. It also shows that we're really reliant on the youngsters making the grade.

 

I think McGhee is right that we need 10 new players!

That was kinda the point!

[redordead]

12 for me too and in agreement with most above, with exception of langfield. has his moments but a serious bottler when it matters. Lack of faith in him must hurt the defence. youngsters, diamond and foster were the only easy decisions to make

Im surprised Nelson has only 5 votes. A vast improvement on Bossu and not had more than a couple of games.

Only had one game actually. True story.

He played against Clach in the friendly (I think) plus the Falkirk one.

He played well against Hull, but was he not awful in his only other game for us? I'd rather see some young Scottish player come through from our youth system, there must be someone? What happened to that Polish kid who was meant to be amazing?

So it's all McGhee's signings at the bottom.  Hmm.
