Heard from a good source that Jackie MacNamara could be leaving the club in Jan, the main problem seems to be the travelling from his home near Edinburgh up to Aberdeen is pretty inconvienent and he is not willing to move up to Aberdeen on a permanant basis.

He will look for a club in the central belt and he isnt to bothered about the wages!!

 

This isn't great news for us as i think he has been a good addition to the squad and can play in various postions, hopefully we will make the group stages of UEFA Cup and he may change his??

Question is where does he go, The infirm wont touch him, Scots players are out of favour with the jambos, Hibees?The right side of town for him, but cant see them paying his wage demand. He kens where hes better off and thats picking up an over the score wage with us, surely 

I wouldn't be sorry to see him go, especially if we make a small pot on him. I don't think he is good enough now to spark the team, he is nothing more than a solid professional who might bring a bit of stability and experience. Thats all well and good but can we actually afford that luxury in our squad ? As has been said, he was never going to be able to play the full back role due to his age/pace so a central defensive role or a sweeper was looking like the best options. From what I have read/seen he is not much good in central defence and we don't really play the sweeper game that often. Add to that this growing concern I have about players not being all that interested in playing for aberdeen and 'engineering' moves from our platform and.........

 

Net result = no great shakes. If he wants to go, give him a push.

 

 

Me neither.  Well past his best and his main asset (pace) has gone.  Maybe not justifying his large wage for me!!

Is part of his role not to bring on our young defenders Diamond and Considine (and others) with his experience?

 

That being the case I'd rather see him stay a while yet.

 

I seem to remember Brewster being called slow and past-it.......and we were sad to see him go?

McNamara keeps getting skinned though, which is concerning.

Not seen him in an entire match so difficult for me to judge, but do you think he's giving 100% for whatever reason?

Personally just think he is way past his best.  Main attributes were his pace and his engine and now his pace has gone and his age is catching up.  Probably not going to justify hefty wage he is getting here and next season will be even slower and legs going even more.

Still provides a calming influence on the young guns in our defense.

 

let things gel a little more.
