Expand Committing to pay a player a no doubt decent wad of cash over 6 months or so is not a token gesture, plus it's the decent thing to do. I am pretty sure the club have been advised that Tanner will be able to play at this level, if not why offer the deal. It might not work out but the player deserves every chance to restart his career, so I think he will get game time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand They offered the deal due to the "Club Policy" of not releasing a player who is unfit due to being injured playing for us. Tho if indeed they have been advised that he wont play at this level again, Id be amazed if it was anything other than a token amount until he is back on his feet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supermarv Posted June 4, 2019 Report Share Posted June 4, 2019 Tanner is most effective playing as a 10 or out wide so no problems there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy_P Posted June 5, 2019 Report Share Posted June 5, 2019 I don't mind Main. There's a half decent player there in the right formation with the right type of partner.I hope he is freed in May next year having failed to score a single goal of course...I'm also having a wry smile at the prospect of the type of football Aberdeen will likely play next season. Everything they do is already overhyped and given a sheen it often fails to merit by the likes of Miller, Gordon et al but I'm looking forward to the interpretation put forward by then when Taylor us hoofing sixty yard punts for Main to battle for. Something tells me it won't be hoofball played for by beasts and giants as I've heard some Aberdeen minded broadcasters described us.

weeyin Posted June 5, 2019 Report Share Posted June 5, 2019 I agree he can do a job. I just don't think that job is goalscorer. Still - in the grand scheme of things - he's another example we can point to regarding progressing a career by coming to play for us. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DEWELL Posted June 5, 2019 Report Share Posted June 5, 2019 Main signing for Aberdeen is exactly the reason I didn't want Derek Macinnes as the next Scotland manager. What's happening with our interest in the striker from Northampton Town we're interested in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siebsbarmyarmy Posted June 5, 2019 Report Share Posted June 5, 2019 I’m with Andy P on this. I like Main and think since Jan he’s put in a right good shift without scoring the goals you would expect. As a loan striker in the formation we played he was crucial to our good performances in the work rate, hold up and link play. However he can be a proper handful and I’m not overly excited in him coming to Fir Park in the red of the Dons. I’m not normally one of these guys but I think this is a stick on for a goal against us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
