“Isaac has been so unfortunate with injuries and not really had a chance, but we’ll help him.

 

Perfect. Sounds like he'll fit right in.

 

Is he not an Aussie?

defensive mid, not necessarily the position we're desperate for right enough.

 

Some of the comments on that link were quite interesting....

I think you're all being Paranoid about his past injuries.

I agree, he's just going through some changes.

Some might say transition

 

Not really sure what to make of the comments, seems like he's a decent player and good to have around the place...

Don't worry folks, he's got a wikipedia page.

Another defensive mid seems a bit odd.

Really?  Zico's retiring after all

He'll be our new Iron Man in midfield

Heard he's a bit of a joker so they squad could be in for some crazy training.

Is he not the guy who refuses to play on Sundays ? He gave up his Sabbath playing days years ago.

Possibly. I've heard he's a bit on the camp side though. Do Fairies Wear Boots?

Might upset Mr Crowley in the Main Stand!

Steven first of all asked the manager about reports emanating from the Midlands that Aberdeen have shown an interest in Isaac Osbourne who was with Coventry City.

 

Isaac Osbourne "We have got to be quite clear on that one. We had him up some weeks ago for a week to work with us and he certainly looked very efficient. The major concern in recruiting him is his fitness. We have got to be assured that the injury trouble he has had over the last 18 months have disappeared. If that's the case then we will obviously be interested in him.

 

"He has not played for quite some time because of injury. We are certainly looking at him with some interest.

 

"I've got to say it was not a case of trial because we know his capabilities. It was just a question of having a look at him in our context and confirming his fitness.

CRAIG Brown today revealed he is ready to give English midfielder Isaac Osbourne another chance to earn a deal with Aberdeen FC.

 

The 24-year-old was on trial with Aberdeen FC last season following his release from Coventry City.

 

Osbourne has yet to find a new club and remains a free agent.

Did we not already knock this guy back as he was not able to prove his fitness?

That's how I remember it too.

 

I think the sound you can hear is the bottom of the barrel being scraped... Already

Don't say that when Diamond is still available! 

 

Especially after I've bet TC a pint he won't be re-signing.

Osbourne set to sign in next 24 hours, according to STV.

Guess he proved his fitness then. Certainly sounded like a decent player, providing he's not the next Jamie Smith.

From Liam Mcleod on Twitter...

 

Aberdeen will sign former Coventry midfielder Isaac Osbourne IF he passes a stringent medical. Hasn't played competitive game in 15 month

A stringent medical.

 

Has he really got that much going for him after a SECOND trial and we need to perform a "stringent" medical?

 

Fuck.

Is this the stringent medical that couldn't see Zanders 'apparent' injury?

He signed last night according to the P&J.

Welcome aboard, hopefully his injury problems are truly behind him and we've got ourselves a player.
