Jeanette Posted August 31, 2010 Report Share Posted August 31, 2010 I don't know very much about Ricky Foster. But I'm not convinced this is a good thing... is it?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christy Posted August 31, 2010 Report Share Posted August 31, 2010 I dont mind using four CBs across the back - MoN favoured this system at Villa and it worked fine. However, we are supershort back there and we needed Basey in even before we let Foz go. Basey will almost certainly join, but we need anotehr defender.Letting Foster go for Velicka seems like a terrible deal; it will hinge on who we sign in defence.

Guest Posted August 31, 2010 Report Share Posted August 31, 2010 I don't know very much about Ricky Foster. But I'm not convinced this is a good thing... is it??It's just a totally bizarre move, I think. Only thing I can think of that he's got in his favour is that he can literally play in any position apart from 'keeper. Not a bad player, but no idea why Rangers would swoop for him in particular, and certainly won't challenge for the first team, I wouldnt think.

But I'm not convinced this is a good thing... is it??I'm a bit worried as we don't have any full backs anymore. WTF is going on? Need a left or right back before 12am please! Or both.

He can't be much worse that Broadfoot surely?!He won't get a wide midfield role... not with Weiss now and Naismith playing well so far.

calum Posted August 31, 2010 Report Share Posted August 31, 2010 Think of Foster as a more defensive, less technical Whittaker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skacel Posted August 31, 2010 Report Share Posted August 31, 2010 Does Foster not hold the 100m record at Ellon academy or something?That's all you need to know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaki Posted August 31, 2010 Report Share Posted August 31, 2010 I still don't believe this. A serving hun in the Dons team? (albeit one even Rangers fans had forgotten existed). The already unpopular Foster coming back to Pittodrie after a year at Ibrox? He better come back with all aforementioned faults ironed out. I wonder if there are any clauses to the deal. Perhaps the Huns wanted Fozzy permanently but couldn't afford him so worked out a swappy loan deal in the meantime? I can't imagine the deal was instigated by McGhee desperately wanting Velicka. What?! WHAT?! WTF? McArdle for full back of the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moose Posted August 31, 2010 Report Share Posted August 31, 2010 Does Foster not hold the 100m record at Ellon academy or something?That's all you need to know.Darren Mackie holds it at Kemnay Academy!! I don't like this whole ordeal one bit. As Trigger said though, let's wait and see what McGhee has up his sleeve. Surely he has a plan with what to do with all these strikers?!? I like Foster, most of the time, and I don't like the thought of him playing for Rangers one bit. Fair enough, Considine can be reasonable at left back, but what happens when he inevitably becomes injured or if we want any kind of attacking threat down the left flank other than Aluko? I'd rather see Considine at centre back too, but as Ifil is one of the highest paid players - I believe - McGhee maybe feels obliged to play him? I suppose the lack of depth at the back is worrying, but at the same time, the squad is a lot better than last season by the looks of things and from what I've heard about some of our new players. Maybe it will be ok and 2-4-4 will prevail, Aberdeen will win the league and McGhee will be the next Man United manager.Magennis has already been a goaly, so maybe he can just become a left back? Ho ho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 31, 2010 Report Share Posted August 31, 2010 Ifil and Diamond are far better players than Considine, and have been playing consistently better so far this season. They should remain the centre-backs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skacel Posted August 31, 2010 Report Share Posted August 31, 2010 Surely a couple of strikers will go out and we'll take in a defender or 2!Some folk on ab-mad thinking that Hartley may have had a hand in the Velicka move?Still doesn't make sense to me though.I can't see Foster playing for Aberdeen ever again.

Nev Posted August 31, 2010 Report Share Posted August 31, 2010 He's not allowed due to a gentleman's agreement between the home nations.You have to have been born, have parents or grandparents who were born or have been schooled for five years in the country you're seeking to play for.I imagine Arteta meets none of these criteria.Every time Scotland, Wales or Northern Ireland mention these criteria, I can't help but think: John Barnes.

Alphas Posted August 31, 2010 Report Share Posted August 31, 2010 Scott Severin has joined Dundee Utd. Might be a good move for Utd as I'm sure he'll bring a bit of leadership to them after losing Webster and Wilkie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaki Posted August 31, 2010 Report Share Posted August 31, 2010 Foster says: "The move certainly came as a shock. I did not know anything about it till around 4pm this afternoon when I returned from training and had a few missed calls. I spoke to my agent and he told me there was a possibility I could be moving to Rangers."Since then everything has been a bit mad. I had to return home then come back into the club and go through all the paper work."I have not had much time to think about it to be honest."I see it as a massive opportunity for myself. An opportunity to progress my career."Hopefully I will be involved in the Champions League games. That would be a fantastic experience and something every player wants to be involved in. I also see it as a chance to improve my chances of being involved at International level."I feel the experience will help my development at this stage of my career and will make me a stronger player for when I return to Aberdeen next season."Which I suppose is much what he would be expected to say and isn't very interesting. I've pasted it now though. Hopefully he'll be a revelation and we'll sell him to Bursapor for 10m on the first day of the January transfer window.
