harry94 Posted 27 January 2019 Posted 27 January 2019 I notice Aird has been out of the United squad and people have been speculating over his future. I half wonder if we might be going in for him. He's got a huge number of assists and a few goals this season. He's a typical Scottish Football type winger with inconsistency etc but when I think of it, I think he'd suit the profile of winger McIntyre is going for. He's unfashionable and a complete a***hole but whenever I've seen him, I've generally been impressed with his work rate and he's got some direct end product. I do notice United seem to be quite reactionary and doom players to fail who often seem to come back and bite them in the a**e. I know stats aren't the be all end all but it seems utterly bizarre that you've got this player who seems to always get assists and he's frozen out; also after getting player of the month as recently as a few weeks ago. I'm just thinking that Deacon's performance was alarming in some ways and we might be raiding the bargain bucket.

Our deliveries from the right have been poor for a while.

He is a simple but effective player and offers more than most (in his price bracket) both going forward and doing the dirty stuff. The guy's not a world beater but he's a step up on what we have IMO.

WestFerryDee Posted 27 January 2019 Posted 27 January 2019 Deacon is one of the laziest players I have ever seen play for DFC

dblair Posted 27 January 2019 Posted 27 January 2019 Looking at the squad now we have real competition for most positions gk - Dieng and parish right back - Kerr and Horsfield (curran if desperate) center half - Odea, Innes, kusunga, Jeffries and hadenius left back - Ralph Kerr if realllllly desperate left mid - Dales, possibly deacon and lambert centre mid - McGowan, woods, hadenius, Moore and possible curran Right mid - J curran, Horsfield or deacon up top - Milller, Kallman, nelson and C Curran. Moussa if every other player breaks a leg I think it’s clear to see where we could do with strengthening

He was the only player that worked the keeper on Saturday. Also he’s 2 footed, as when he cut inside, and shot just over bar. Dales is promising, but is so 1 footed it’s unbelievable.
