I like McLean. Hope we do get him. The more good Scottish talent the better . I know he's had terrible luck with injury, however I am yet to be convinced by rossiter. Massive season for him.

Our trouble is we have a terrible track record of keeping talented midfielders fit, Ness, McCabe, Macleod and now Rossiter. To bring an injury prone player in is a huge gamble.
If we can keep Rossiter fit this year then we will have won a watch as this boy can play, yes he keeps it plain and simple and he is not going to run by 3 players and put the ball into the top corner but for me the team is missing someone to take the ball off the defense and use the ball wisely and allow his team mates to create and score.
Massive season for Rossiter but back to McLean. its a no from me, we got the best player Aberdeen had to offer so that will do me fine thanks.

Talented, Bazza? Plymouth Argyll, Sligo Rovers and Brentford?

Bazzabear do you really think we got the best player aberdeen have to offer? I don't know one aberdeen fan who was sad to see Jack go. The same aberdeen fans have all said they would be gutted to lose McLean to us. McLean is a much better player than Jack albeit different types of midfielders. When we signed Jack I assumed he would be used as a squad player not a first team regular.

wee-ecky - All 3 players were great talents when they came through our youth system and looked the part when they came into the first team, but injuries hampered their development. Lewis MacLeod was fantastic and I was sorry to see him go.
Jack has been Aberdeen's most consistent player for the last few years and to captain them from such a young age must mean he has a good head on him. Yes I stand by the statement that he was their best player and he has performed well for us since he joined.
If Rossiter stays fit for next 2-3 seasons and performs well for us, we will make a good few millions from him.
