What a signing he was for us at that time. Under different circumstances would have been good seeing him for longer

Seems to have been around forever as well!

 

[RFC56]

Was a brilliant signing for us at that time, oh to have a young sone aluko in this team.

 

[julian candy]

To say his signing was poorly received is an understatement!

But he was class. One of those players who only scored belters.

 

[JorgeCampos]

He was surprisingly excellent for us.

The celebration that greeted that excellent goal agaisnt them was quite memorable.

 

[Jamiegatami]

He would have went on to be a great player for us if 2012 never happened. Loved the wee man

 

[Davieblue1977]

All the best for the future

“A goal for Aluko, a goal for the fans, a goal for
the cause”

 

[Theportyunionjack]

Pretty amazed to hear he was still playing tbh.

Cracking player for us tho

 

[madride]

A ray of light in a horrendous season.

Scored a hatrick at St Johnstone as well

 

[Ulsterscot]

Plenty have short memories I think. I mind FF being about 80/20 against signing him at the time

 

[RoxburghGer]

Tore the mhanks apart on that day in 2012

 

[Awaydays72]

Wee guy played his part in stopping them win the league at ours, so thanks for that and all the very best to him.

 

[TheFantasticNinetiesFox]

Turned out to be a great signing for us. Cracking goal against them too.

Wish him all the best.

 

[Arkanoid]

Best transfer fee we never paid!
Pretty sure he bought out his own deal, backed his ability and boy is he well remembered.
Class player who used to ghost past players like they weren't there

 

[Bossorange]

He was dynamite for us

 

[Puggy]

“A goal for Aluko, a goal for the fans, a goal for
the cause”

I’ve got his top from that game signed and framed hanging in my living room wall along with others.

Pretty much everybody on the thread haven’t said anything to suggest short memories

he suprised the vast majority

I wasn’t refereeing to the thread as such. I just remember the vast majority being outraged we were considering an Aberdeen reject although there was more to it.

I doubt many would come on the thread anyway and say they didn’t want him.

As you say he surprised a lot.

 

[buc11]

He was absolutely brilliant for the sheep against Bayern Munich.

Loads of ifs and buts, but Aluko, Jelavic and Naismith would have been an outstanding front three.

 

[Slide Away]

Had no idea the wee man was still playing.

A day to remember!

 

[km_2083]

Maybe if we signed him at the start of that season as appose to after naeshame got injured we might have won that league even with administration points docked

 

[smidbob]

One of those players who always looked like something might happen when they were on the ball. Not everything came off, but he was direct and exciting

 

[vancy]

We stole him off Juventus

Juventus are on the verge of swooping for Aberdeen's Nigerian international youngster Sone Aluko.

[KensingtonBlue]

He was absolutely brilliant. Scared the life out of defenders.

To have a winger like him now...

 

[DBallZ]

The spirit and fight from that day would be very welcome on Saturday.

 

[GersFanHutch]

Identifying what Aluko could bring to us and giving him the free role behind the strikers was one of Ally’s best moves as a manager.

 

[Blue_Streak]

Don’t think I’ll ever forget that goal and win in 2012. So many memories and emotions still crystal clear 12 years later.
