pete 2,499 Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 He received treatment down south with the English setup and they're hopeful that his issues have now been addressed. He was pictured back training in the last few weeks, with increasing intensity I think. Pedro said he was hopeful he would be a part of the squad for pre-season... I think he is a week to 10 days away as he has been all season. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JFK-1 1,693 Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 Isn't it a comment on how good Jack is when the thread switches to discuss Rossiter? Or a comment on how good we think Rossiter could be? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AM89 0 Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 Not a player that really stood out at Aberdeen as far as I could see. But in our team may fulfil a role that is needed - sit in position, break up attacks and keep the ball moving. Also depends who is selected alongside him. No doubt our midfield is the weakest part of our team. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uilleam 5,928 Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 (edited) If he comes, he comes on a Bosman, so no transfer fee will go to our Doric friends. Plus. He will command a reasonable wedge for signing on, nothing outrageous, I assume, and a salary less than bank breakingly astronomic. Plus. He will fit into a position where the team is noticeably weak, ie defensive midfield, and, if pushed, can play full back, or even centre back. Plus. He is, according to Mr Forlanssister, our expert on all matters north of bridie country, a 'Rangers' Man', which I have to say is a bonus , as I like to see players whose parents have raised them properly, and who, in consequence, know both the weight and the worth of the jersey. Double Plus. He is, or was, until this week, their Captain, which indicates something about his personality, and authority, in the dressing room, and on the pitch. Plus. He is, or was, their Captain, so, for the coarser minded among us, signing him represents shoving a jaggy stick up their collective fundament. Hardly a minus. (Fundament? Furry boots is tha'? Jist bend ower the noo, loon......) Edited May 24, 2017 by Uilleam 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotjo 19 Posted May 25, 2017 Author Share Posted May 25, 2017 I asked this exact question to an Aberdeen supporting friend and his comment was for them he is fairly easily replaceable.... so that doesn't bode well. Also mentioned he is always behind the play. Isn't he meant to be in his position? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uilleam 5,928 Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 At worst, it would seem that PC is signing a tactically disciplined player for a specific role, positionally and tactically. That would make a change from a key defender wandering lonely as a cloud.... 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oleg_Mcnoleg 50 Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 I think he is a week to 10 days away as he has been all season. He'll have "a week to 10 days from a return" on his grave stone 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
