Norris Cole 0 Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 I don't think he did too well against Hamilton at Ibrox in the cup but his style certainly wasn't part of our tactics so it's no surprise he didn't feature more often. One must remember though that Valencia recalled him so while we may not have put up too much of a fight to keep him, we probably didn't have a great deal of choice in the matter. I did hear a rumour mid way through last season that Valencia were a bit cheesed off at the lack of football we were giving him. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankie 8,552 Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 Wouldn't surprise me mate. The loan deal didn't work out which is a pity as it would have probably been this coming season that would have really enabled both teams to judge the player's contribution. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ascender 352 Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 Smith is preferring to concentrate on finding a younger stopper who will eventually take over from Weir next season. I thought Andy Webster was fit now? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frankie 8,552 Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 I think Utd denied it. PS: Apparently Aaron is now away on loan to Racing Santander. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnyk 158 Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 PS: Apparently Aaron is now away on loan to Racing Santander. hope he gets more of a chance with them if he is........... He looks a good player but was too attacking for WS 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ascender 352 Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 The Aaron one was a strange deal, much like the various "hot teenage talent" (that sounds like the title of a porno) we've signed over the years who end up being released a few years later having never played for the first team. If we weren't going to give him a chance in the first team, why sign him? Even McCoist admitted during the season that he was the most natural player we had to try and fill the problematic left midfield position. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
calscot 0 Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 I think to be fair it was the wrong season for him. It was just too important to do much experimenting with a yet unproven 18 year old. We already had a team full of youngsters in their early 20's. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
