Ellafella Posted June 7, 2020 Share Posted June 7, 2020 I like this player. Tough as nails. We look stronger when he plays. https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/www.bbc.co.uk/sport/amp/football/52951723 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RiddingsRam Posted June 7, 2020 Share Posted June 7, 2020 I think he's a brilliant asset , wasn't initially in favour under Cocu and both parties admitted this but he's worked hard , the coaching staff have worked hard with him and I think towards the latter stages we started to see the fruits of this .

Inverurie Ram Posted June 7, 2020 Share Posted June 7, 2020 I reckon if Craig "Robin Gibb" Forsyth snuck into the picture we would have the Der Bee Gees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mucker1884 Posted June 7, 2020 Share Posted June 7, 2020 Here's hoping none of them catch a Saturday night virus (It's the new 2020 digitalised 12" club-mix version of the original!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But seriously, I like Shinnie - I think he'd have been an star in a Lampard team and he's useful to have in any team in this league. Not a nicey nice player but one who'll do the business in a league still full of teams who've got a bit of nasty in them. That, and the attitude to learn what the manager wants, be able to his qualities with enough of the style to fit the overall plan. I'm sure he's a better player now than he was when we signed him. It was a real shame he got injured when he did because he really was starting to show why we'd signed him. The only problem for him is going to be getting back in with Bird and Sibley being pushed for as academy products, Holmes and knight being more likely to get the attacking positions and Rooney's "plays if he still has both legs attached" position in the team with Huddz fitting Cocu's style as the controller if Rooney's out. It's no fault on his part he got injured and unfortunate the form pre lockdown was great, but he's just going to have to work hard, get an opportunity and simply make himself indispensable. If he isn't getting games, I'm sure we'd get a decent fee and he'd be a good player for any number of championship teams, but I hope he forces his into the picture and gets enough game time to be a real part of things.

cannable Posted June 7, 2020 Share Posted June 7, 2020 He’s mint. Tidy on the ball which I didn’t expect from his stats at Aberdeen, ball-winning machine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Van der MoodHoover Posted June 7, 2020 Share Posted June 7, 2020 My mate George who's a big Don's fan, was gutted to lose him, but has been pleasantly surprised by a few highlights that hes seen of him playing for the rams.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black ('n' White) Sheep Posted June 7, 2020 Share Posted June 7, 2020 Shinnie's definitely a class act. I've been impressed with his work rate and tackling every time I've watched him in a Rams shirt (and his goal against Wigan was sublime). It'll be interesting to see who Cocu goes with in midfield when everyone's fit. Rooney and Bird? Rooney and Shinnie? Rooney and Bielik? Play Rooney further forward and play a different pairing deeper? But then that'd mean Holmes/Sibley/Knight missing out... It's a good selection headache to have.

Topram Posted June 7, 2020 Share Posted June 7, 2020 Another brilliant free signing one of Franks best easily great work rate passion etc perfect player to have with Rooney Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rab a dab doo Posted June 7, 2020 Share Posted June 7, 2020 He is typical little in your face 100% hard as nails, no nonsense scot. Someone you would definitely want next to you in a scrap. Allied to that he can play a bit as well and score the odd goal. Not bad for free one of our more enlightened signing in recent years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s an interesting list of not in consideration especially last summer - Chris Martin ( enough said) - Shinnie (before he played) Forsyth ( he surely can’t be as good after 3 knee ligament injuries) Davies - ( too old and fourth choice ) - did I miss anybody and it’s interesting to note all four of those are excellent professionals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
