BEARGER 1,829 Posted September 26, 2016 Share Posted September 26, 2016 Was it £1.5M ? Anything like that figure and I say we were done. I've seen nothing from this guy except stupid rash tackles, looking to square up to opponents, miskicks, no ball control. Only a few games I know but so far very poor IMO.

Scott7 5,178 Posted September 26, 2016 Share Posted September 26, 2016 I think you're right. Hateley was useless to start with. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BEARGER 1,829 Posted September 26, 2016 Author Share Posted September 26, 2016 I think you're right. Hateley was useless to start with. I did have that thought before posting, but in Hateley's case I think it was down to fitness & long lasting niggling injuries. Hope Garner comes good, just not seen anything so far.

Ser Barristan Selmy 222 Posted September 26, 2016 Share Posted September 26, 2016 Spending this on a striker who scored 6 last season was a strange move - he looks liable to pick up more red cards than goals. Not only that, he will have limited resale value. £1.5m is a fortune for us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
limeburner 0 Posted September 26, 2016 Share Posted September 26, 2016 Not off to a great start,too early to write off just yet. He needs a little time to settle,then we will see.Not afraid to rumble them up ,i allways like that in a player.You know ,let them know youre there. Hes trying too hard to impress at the minute imo.

ian1964 10,416 Posted September 26, 2016 Share Posted September 26, 2016 Got to give the guy time,I think he will score goals,he has a physical presence despite his height,not every player signed will have a good sell on value. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhunter 0 Posted September 26, 2016 Share Posted September 26, 2016 the whole team are rank just now so singling people out is pointless but putting players in and out of the team this early in the season is farcical, how on earth can they be needing rotated already?

MacK1950 2,231 Posted September 26, 2016 Share Posted September 26, 2016 Remember last season everybody thought the same about Forrester and Garner maybe like him is trying too hard,so hopefully same result as now Forrester is a first pick IMO.

RANGERRAB 3,260 Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 Garner was a panic signing before the transfer window closed. So was Senderos. At the end of last season it was obvious we needed better quality at CB & up front.To have waited til just before the window closed showed we didnt have any specfic targets in mind or simply couldnt get who we wanted. As a result we're conceding far too many & not scoring enough from the strikers ( in the league so far anyway) and that's worrying even at this early stage Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeardyGuts 6 Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 the whole team are rank just now so singling people out is pointless but putting players in and out of the team this early in the season is farcical, how on earth can they be needing rotated already? I dont think his style of play suits the way we play. I recall one or two occasions he actually won a long ball up top and no-one ran in behind. He never made runs in behind that i can remember. Easy for Aberdeen to defend when you only have 1 striker. Kenny Miller had an almost instant impact in the game because he was making runs in behind and stretching the Aberdeen back 4. Garner just doesnt play that way. I see him as a more Boyd or Ally type forward which i struggle to see how that will work for us. I would expect if he was playing to go to a 4-4-2 rather than the 4-2-3-1 we normally play. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
