Algerian 5ft 10 plays RW or AM, came up with Lille B, played for Lorient, Nice, and at Stuttgart, other than that off online, know nothing.

He's a playmaker but can play either wing. He's quick and has great vision to thread a ball through or cross, which he does more often than beat a man. He can still dribble well, and has good skill, but looks for the pass more. He went to Stuttgart for 13.5 mil with add ons up to 20 mil.
Algerian international, but in 14/15 games for Stuttgart he's been poor, barely any goals or assists, so hasn't settled well. Can be a bit lightweight in a challenge and not the greatest defensively. Main strengths are creating, which we are seriously lacking.

Took a lot of positives from last nights game, not an eye catching performance but I did think we played reasonably well in spells especially first 30 minutes.
Right now we do look like a team that's trying to get used to playing together given 7 of the starting 11 were signed this summer.
Gassama and Minsu can be really effective for us going forward but still feel we need one more addition in those positions.
Makhanya looks top quality, but really like the addition of Pandur. Think he's shown last 2 games the level of saves he is capable of.
Completely different challenge this weekend with Motherwell. Just need to find a way to win that's the most important thing in these early stages.

That 1st half hr, we looked really good when we looked to get it to Gass and esp Kim MinSun. He could be a star. No idea why we completely stopped doing that afterwards.
03 Sep 2026 09:50:53
Experience, I think - it is a relatively young squad, however, games like last night will be a huge benefit to them in the long term. No surprise it's the most experienced player in the squad stepping up with 2 big goals.
Dealt with the setback, weathered the storm where Falkirk had their period on top, found a winner, then saw it out.
03 Sep 2026 10:06:15
We look fine when we try to move the ball forward quicker, or our 3 of Gassama, Minsu and Curtis are running at defences on the back foot.
Where it all goes wrong is when we slow it down, and we look clueless on how to break organised defences down.
Throw in a CH that gives you the fear every time he has the ball, and it's a recipe for potential disaster.
03 Sep 2026 10:10:46
The main positive for me was that Falkirk didn't have a striker 2nd half or it would've been a different story.
03 Sep 2026 10:17:48
I think Falkirk changed slightly, which stopped Min Su from playing. We could have been further ahead if his shot had gone in after hitting the post, and Shanks taking the easier of the 3 chances he had. All ifs, buts and maybes though; if my granny had cojones and all that. 😉
03 Sep 2026 10:37:20
I agree with all the points made above. That's why it was a bit of a mixed bag last night. Minsu possibly ran out of steam second half, but showed enough to make me think we may have found a wee diamond. Another 3 points and back home for tea and cake.
03 Sep 2026 10:38:00
We stopped passing to them and pumped it tong and hopeful instead.
03 Sep 2026 10:42:35
You have to give credit to Falkirk for identifying the problems we caused them and reacting to it. I don't think it's as simple as we played well and then suddenly stopped playing well. We just have to be creative and find another way when teams react to us.

I take it loan fees aren't included in any kind of selling on percentage? I know the player hasn't been sold but it's still some kind of profit.
03 Sep 2026 07:16:32
Lawrence Shankland we all know is a natural finisher and starting to score for us now, which we all knew would start happening 👍A goalscorer like shanks never lose their ability to score goals and has been terrific for us in our last 2 games 👌As we're all aware, we've now spent £9.5million on Kevin kelsy but surely if shanks is now hitting the goal scoring trail, he has to start and big kelsy will need to bide his time 🤔I wouldn't imagine mcinnes will have 442 as his main system as this will leave us a man down in our midfield 🤔It will be interesting to see what mcinnes does 🤔🇬🇧
03 Sep 2026 07:58:55
Competition for places as well, Coops, may the best man win if we play one up top.
For far too long teams could predict our formation and pretty much the starting 11. I like the fact that we can change things up now.
03 Sep 2026 08:08:31
Will he play Kelsey up front with Shanks just behind and Minsu then going right wing? Shanks doesn't score as many goals there, but the team does. 🤷
03 Sep 2026 08:12:15
I must admit at times last night our forward line looked good with Shankland as our main central striker, Minsu Kim playing just off him in the No.10 role with Gassama wide left and Curtis wide right. 👍 So I'd prefer McInnes to play a 4-3-3, 4-2-3-1 or 3-5-2 systems, depending who we're playing. 🤔 🇬🇧
03 Sep 2026 08:24:09
Boyd said in studio last night McInnes always plays with 2 strikers, only ever not done it once at Aberdeen for a season.
03 Sep 2026 09:23:02
Have a feeling we'll be going with 2 up front. We bypass midfield most of the time anyway.
03 Sep 2026 09:34:49
Just want to give a bit of praise to a much criticised player. Ross McCrorie with a great bit of play for the assist in our winning goal.
03 Sep 2026 09:57:36
Seem to play it across back 4 to lb then it gets pumped long.
03 Sep 2026 10:14:28
Sws Obe, you said if we play 2 up front we will be a man down in midfield. We are 2 men down in midfield every game. Gassama, Curtis and Min or Tokama are not midfield players. We will burn Devlin and Raskin out if another midfielder is not added.
03 Sep 2026 10:19:33
We had 151 forward passes, and only 73 of them were long balls, so hardly bypassing MF. 🤷
03 Sep 2026 10:53:59
The 78 other passes must have been in the 1st half when we looked good then.
03 Sep 2026 11:01:42
JFM. Had literally just posted on our WhatsApp group chat slating DM for bringing McCrorie on when he done his twinkle toes move to set up our winner. Took a bit of stick lol.
