Interest in Lee Croft according to the Express

 

 

Managers Terry Butcher and Derek McInnes have both expressed an interest, but they face competition from Birmingham, Sheffield United and Rotherham, while Major League Soccer is also an option for the 28-year-old winger.

 

Croft helped St Johnstone reach their first-ever Scottish Cup Final and has played an influential role in getting Tommy Wright’s side into the top six of the Premiership.

 

The Englishman is out of contract in the summer and could leave McDiarmid Park under freedom of contract, although talks continue on an extension to his existing contract.

 

Croft is in his second spell with Saints. He also had stints at Derby, Manchester City, Norwich, Huddersfield and Oldham.

Don't think Robertson went anywhere in the end!

Same feeling I always have the day after transfer deadline day, frustration. Yet again we find ourselves only one or two players short of having a really good, well rounded squad, with cover in all departments, and with Celtic and Motherwell clearly struggling wouldn't now have been the perfect time to push the boat out and show some real ambition? 

 

I get the feeling we're an injury or two away from disaster, am I right in saying we only have 5 fit defenders, and 2 of those need to be wrapped in cotton wool. I hate being negative about the dons, just wish the powers that be would match the fans ambition.

Anderson is out for 6 weeks.

Leaving Reynolds, Logan, Taylor, Considine and Robertson, and the last two are the fragile ones I alluded to. I know Hayes and Jack can fill the full back positions but that just moves the problem elsewhere.

Generally, I think the squad is weaker now than it was 12 months ago.

Ah sorry, I hadn't bothered checking after i'd seen the "exclusive" elsewhere.

 

Sadly receiving the signed shirt when we did I knew we wouldn't get anyone else in   But I agree with CtS, seems like we're a few players short of have a really good progressive team.  Almost seems like they're relying on us being as good as last season and others being worse.

When joe left I had hopes we would be getting someone else in, that said we can still sign free agents so there may be someone to come in yet. Personally I think we are better than last year, zolaI  is gone for a start, and there is competition for all places bar fb. would have loved to see shinnie  come in but that's clearly not happening till next summer. We have to hope Robertson steps up like low has

Think the bit in bold is definitely part of  the reason we have not strengthened as we should have.

Well what a damp squib that turned out to be.

Genuinely believe that moves were made to get Shinnie in, but Caley patently playing hard ball over a fee.

Would have been nice to have a plan B regarding that position with a loan until January from a team down south.

Madness of not getting a left back in is highlighted tonight by Clark Robertson getting injured playing for Scotland U21s.

Clark Robertson? Injured?

 

Fucking hell. No one could have seen that coming.

If he wasn't one of ours I'd laugh. Genuinely don't see the point of him though. Can't say I've ever been impressed. Hopefully we actually sort this out in the near future....

I now fear Reynolds getting injured on Scotland duty..........

He won't play, obviously, as there are perfectly good lower league Engerlund dwellers that obviously deserve a game ahead of anyone at Aberdeen but I'm sure he'll manage to do himself a mischief during a training session or warm up. 

Clark Robertson is out for 6 weeks apparently.

Fuck sake

Seems like he's the new Jamie smith minus the initial joy.

Can he play left back.

Here's hoping Goodwillie is signed up on a longer contract soon, been really impressed with him. On form he's a cut above anything else I've seen in the spfl

Differences between his performances when played as the lone striker and when along side Rooney are marked. He looks so much better when he is playing beside Rooney. If we are sticking with 2 up top and he has put his off field issues behind him then we should be offering him a new deal.

I remember and shudder when we were all over DUFC one new year game at Pittodrie and then Goodwillie popped up with a last minute equaliser for 1-1.

 

He has always been a cut above the average. That's why an English club came in for him. It never worked out for him down there but he should be snapped up by us immediately.

 

It's not just his obvious technical superiority, it's his heart and the fight he has. I particularly like the way he uses his big arse. He's a very stronger shielder and hudder upper of the ba.

Tune = changed

 

 

Fatherhood has clearly changed Jute, he's gone soft

I should have clarified "sorted his off field issues". By that I mean he get voluntarily castrated and never drinks again.
