January transfer window 2014 - Rooney in, Alan Tate signs, Wylde out

[TENEMENTFUNSTER]

I don't get the love in with Hector. He's a good player for sure, but his use of the ball out of defence was tragic at times; often just leathering the ball up the park when there is no pressure on him. If he was to come back I think it'd be good for us but I'm not convinced he's a requirement, and if he's not an option for us long term I'd rather we used Joe at right back.

 

Some of the things I've read about the guy you'd think he was a cross between Miller, Beckenbauer and Baresi.

 

Wouldn't subscribe to the notion of a love-in but agree with pretty much all of the rest. With Tate coming in it doesn't seem essential to get him back but McInnes seems very keen to get him back. Think it's his apparent flexibility.

Meant to be lots of jurnos at Pitodrie at the moment....

For the weekly press conference aye? 

[scotfree]

Some rumors around that we're signing Billy McKay....

 

 

[manc_don]

Now that is a striker I'd be happy with.  :fingerscrossedsmilie:

[scotfree]

I hope so manc. I really hope so....

My hit or a wild miss rumour mole suggests Deek is seriously looking at the Riordan status.

 

Again she could be talking pish, but she has been known to have some useful inside info on occasions

Signed a 2 year contract extension with Caley last March

 

Seriously doubt we have/ would be prepared to pay what Thistle have him valued at

[tlg1903]

What Tom said, riordon though........ Hell of a player when he wants to be but it would be a huge gamble. The guy is a total idiot and I can't see dm fancying that kind of influence in tnt dressing room

You reading my facebook page?

Looks like Wylde only found out the night before he was going - sent a few messages to other youth players asking if they were busy to help him pack up. McInnes said today he lacked the drive to break into the 1st team but will be interesting to see if anything else is said in time.

[Tyrant]

Cheers Al. I can see how I was unclear in my response.

Always better to say it with a cat meme

 

 

Whilst I get your drift Jager, I have to say, unlike a possible transfer target of ours, I've always found that I preferred an agreeable pussy

Being linked with Adam Rooney in the press today.

[manc_don]

Read that this morning as well tlg, where's he been the past few years?!?

[tom_widdows]

Not doing very much for Oldham Athletic

[tlg1903]

I remember him being prolific but a bit too similar to Vernon if you ask me

44 goals in 104 games for Caley (1 in 2.36)

4 in 18 for Birmingham (1 in 4.5)

9 in 29 for Swindon (1 in 3.2)

4 in 22 for Oldham (1 in 5.5)

 

Vernon's average for us is apparently 1 in 4.5 but how much of that is down to service?

Vernon also played as a left midfielder for a lot of the time.

 

Vernon's record in a pretty wretched side under McGhee in particular is actually fairly decent I think, all things considered. Scored goals under Brown at the start IIRC correctly, but he must have played a fair whack of games out of position.  If Vernon's not a front man, he's nothing really.

Adam Rooney < Me

 

 

Hope not, he looked hopeless the times I saw him play for Swindle last season.
