Guest idol_wild Posted January 13, 2011 Report Share Posted January 13, 2011 Signing for the Dons:BBC Sport - Football - Aberdeen sign midfielder Robert MilsomI would be pretty happy to see the three imminently out of contract Motherwell players go to Pittodrie, too. Blackman looks pretty nifty every time I see him; seems to know how to find the back of the net, and is an impressive physical presence.He and Vernon up top could be quite useful, if used correctly.Hopefully it'll force Chris Maguire to seriously take up those forthcoming transfer offers from Celtic and Rangers for 1m.

Sam 45 Posted January 13, 2011 Report Share Posted January 13, 2011 Impressed with Brown in the transfer window, he has definitely filled the problems out in defence and Blackman is an excellent addition. Feels like start of the season "we're going to win the league" optimism again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moose Posted January 13, 2011 Report Share Posted January 13, 2011 Although Blackman is a decent player, I don't really see why we need another striker. Where does this leave Magennis? It renders Velicka a bit more pointless too! I hope Broony keeps Maguire playing through the middle and doesn't put him at right-midfield. Obviously with Mackie and Folly out it leaves us a bit short in that position, but Pawlett is fit again, no? Will Milsom be playing mostly in centre-midfield, or do you think he may be adopted at LB? Personally I think Considine is doing an ok job at LB, and Ryan Jack is possibly not ready for weekly games, so I suppose he will be mostly playing centre-mid? Its exciting getting new players all the same. I'm excited. Will there be any more signings? I'm thinking not, but I think the squad is ample now. Top-6. 'Mon the Dons.

Adam Easy Wishes Posted January 13, 2011 Report Share Posted January 13, 2011 McNamee can play at left or right back, I honestly prefer Vujidinovic at left back and Considine in the centre, but either really works.I too hope that Magurie continues through the middle, I think Blackman will largely be used as an option from the bench, but it gives Broon some decent depth to play with. It think Hartley and Milsom will be played in central midfield with Pawlett, Aluko, Maguire possibly (if Blackman goes up top with Vernon), Jack and Young filling in the wide positions. Jack and Young can obviously both play centre mid too, to cover injuries/suspensions.Broon doesn't like Velicka, I imagine it's unlikely that he will play for Aberdeen again. He also 'can't' train on artificial surfaces because of his knee injury, so that perhaps rules him out of a chunk of games in the next couple of months dependent on the weather.

Soda Jerk Posted January 13, 2011 Report Share Posted January 13, 2011 Some doubt. Cahill's going to struggle to do that given that he won't be playing what with the whole being in Qatar on international duty for the Asia Cup thing.A lot of doubt, actually.Can Phil Stamp be added to the list? He was phenomenal.I forgot about the Asia Cup. And also forget the Oz play in that. Everton will lose then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

delboy Posted January 13, 2011 Report Share Posted January 13, 2011 Fergie Jnr is back with the London Road scum of Peterboro I see, must have been forgiven for the out of hours service he was giving some bint behind his mrs back (allegedly it was the reason he left in the first place).It's the FA Trophy this week, funny you never hear the phrase 'the magic of the FA Trophy') which is unsurprising considoring it's pretty tin pot and I fear Cambridge United will be embarrassed by that football giant Alfreton Town (somewhere oop north, doing well in the Blue Square North). Got cup upset written all over it. Martin Ling has given himself some breathing space with a couple of away wins against part time pish sides.Also if anyone has a spare couple of quid, Cambridge United is officially up for sale!

Adam Easy Wishes Posted January 14, 2011 Report Share Posted January 14, 2011 I doubt Blackman will make the game tomorrow, which should mean Maguire and Vernon through the middle again.I imagine it'll be...LangfieldMcNamee - McArdle - Diamond - ConsidinePawlett - Hartley - Milsom - AlukoVernon - MaguireMaybe Jack in for Pawlett depending on match fitness (or a lack of).
