Greg Wylde


Recommended Posts


If the Wylde move comes off then I think it'll be a fingers crossed scenario for us.

A promising youngster who put in some impressive performances in the SPL, his career has been in limbo since leaving Ibrox. We've seen it time and time again - young Scottish players who think they are the dugs baws by getting a few games with the big two then disappear up their own arse.

If the signing happens then this should be viewed by Wylde as a fantastic opportunity for him to get his career back on track. All depends on his attitude and how interested he is.......

Reasonably good chance of this happening IMHO. only issue will be if it flags up his availability to other clubs prepared to offer more. However I recall there is some background relationship between him and the Club so perhaps that will nail his decision

Not him and someone's daughter I hope.whistling.gif

Left side of midfield has been a problem for us this season so on paper would be a decent signing. Been quite injury prone since leaving the club formerly known as Rangers though and has obviously struggled at Aberdeen after signing a 3 year deal in the summer if he's getting punted already (Gary Harkins anyone ?).

So, in summary, mibbaes aye, mibbaes naw.

Switch to 4-4-2 confirmed? huh.png (Can't see it as you' be dropping at least two of our best players.)

Or perhaps sticking with the 4-2-3-1 with Wydle and Campbell out wide. Something still has to give - could Newton and up on the bench?

Front six as follows:

-------------Goodwin - McGinn/McLean-----------

[Campbell/Newton/Teale] - Gowser - Wylde

----------------------Thommo-------------------

Spoken with a Dons supporting colleague regarding Wylde. Pace seems to be his main attribute from what has been apparent on the few occasions he has featured for the Dons. Pace and little else, unfortunately.

His crossing ability is very suspect by all accounts, and though he can break with the ball, his decision making lets him down.

In saying that, and as BtB has just pointed out, he is struggling to break into what has proved to be an effective Aberdeen line-up, so we shouldn't read too much into this.

Will he be guaranteed game time with us? As has also been said, we require options on the left side of midfield, especially with McLean being out. With Bahoken back in the fold, I imagine we can write off much hope of bringing in another striker (given we now have Campbell), so that leaves the centre of defence and left midield as the key areas where we need to strengthen. To that end, Wylde might not be a bad option. Like everything else, we'll just have to wait and see.

Think he could be a good signing, having pace on each side and a natural left sided midfielder will give us more attacking options. Think we'll stick with the same formation, means dropping either Newton Mcgowan or Mclean when everyone is fit which isn't necessarily a bad thing as Newton and Mcgowan have been poor the last few weeks.
