STRIKER Chris Maguire was today challenged to recreate his Scotland goal-scoring form for Aberdeen FC.

 

Maguire has been Scotland’s star scorer, netting five times in the UEFA U21 Euro qualifying campaign.

 

The 21-year-old grabbed a late winner in a 2-1 win over Austria at Pittodrie to book Scotland’s place in next month’s play-offs.

 

However, the striker has yet to score on league duty for Aberdeen FC this season and missed a clear chance in the first minute of the 3-1 loss at Dundee United at the weekend.

 

Aberdeen FC boss Mark McGhee wants the striker to reproduce his international goal-scoring form at club level beginning at Motherwell tomorrow.

 

Dear Mr McGhee,

 

Young Chris is played up front for Scotland. It may be worth trying him up there rather than out wide on the wing as usual.

 

Regards

 

Mizer

That'll be a no.

 

Total goon.

If infinite monkey theorem  is anything to go by you'll be right once in your life

 

Im Always Right 

 

Much as I hate to "bite", do you care for a wager Stoney? I'm willing to bet that Chris Maguire won't work for Tesco in the next five years, and that he will score a goal in the league or league cup before December 25. Do you care to put your money where your mouth is?

 

As tempting as that bet sounds, i am a recovering gambling adict - so no betting for me 

 

That'll be a no.

 

Total goon.

 

 

Nice heels fruitcake 

That'll be a no.

 

Total goon.

 

Goon is one of those words that make me laugh a lot when it is used properly.

 

This is one of those occasions.

 

Jury is still very much out on Maguire for me.  One good game doesn't mean he's exempt from criticism.  He needs to keep it going before I'll be convinced.

I'm very much in agreement with this, he's not exempt from criticism but neither should he be from praise when, as in Sundays game, he's due it. A "fucking shitload" of similar are required but there's a good player in there, the application and workrate have to be there too though. 

Agree with above whole heartedly

Chris Maguire has been named the Clydesdale Bank Young Player of the Month for September

 

It's known that I'm a Maguire fan, as for years I've thought he has shown potential, however I don't think he is perfect and will criticise when deserved. It disgusts me that some Aberdeen fans have an agenda against him, and have NEVER given him a chance. One of those critics, minijc, recently acknowledged he had been "outstanding" v the huns which I applauded him for.

Maguire has played very well recently, both for Aberdeen and Scotland U21's, note to critics... SCOTLAND UNDER 21's, when he was recently Captain and very highly rated.

He may have joined our squad, due to alot of injuries, at the start of the season 5 years ago however he is still only 21!

Stick your statistics up your arse re games to goals to yellow cards, as he has rarely been played up front through the middle, and never consistently.

 

Scotland's Young Player of the Month - September 2010...

 

 

to his critics.... gie the loon a chance!

Unfortunately some of our fans would probably rather organise a protest to get the loon transferred, due to impatience and unrealistic expectations.

 

Sound familiar?

That more cards than protesters there stoney

I demand a re-count

In fairness Stoney has probably got that just about right.

Think we should give him the benefit of doubt and accept fifteen

As in there were fifteen protesters or that was their average age?

Aberdeen FC want Maguire to stay

Striker considers options

 

Published: 14/10/2010

 

ABERDEEN FC director of football Willie Miller today claimed the Pittodrie club will fight to keep Chris Maguire.

 

The Aberdeen FC striker is out of contract at the end of the season.

 

Chris Maguire is sure to have alerted other clubs of his ability when he scored a stunning goal for the Scotland Under-21 side earlier this week.

With his current form for the U-21's, I dont think there is a chance in hell of us keeping him.

He'll still be with us next season I'd wager.  Getting a regular game now, where would he rather go? Celtic? Not a chance they'd want to sign him.  Down south? Maybe in 3/4 years time, but it's too early for him still.

True enough Bobby, but he'll have an agent spouting tripe saying he'll get a better deal elsewhere etc... if he continues his progress that he has made this season, I hope he has the sense to stay. He's always had the potential, this may be the season he realises it.

Willie MacKay won't be doing much to convince Maguire to stay, one would've thought.

Good, he's a cocky wee weegie prima dona ned

I couldn't give a flying fuck where he's from.

 

As long as he has the talent to go with the cockiness then it's not always a bad thing.

Whilst I agree with this to a degree, he was one of the few that manned up during the huns game.

 

As I said, if he continues his form, I hope he stays. I think/hope we may see some maturity in his decision making.

:fingercrossedsmilie: I'm biased, however I do agree that career wise he would be better staying at Aberdeen for another few years.
