Aberdeen sack Derek McInnes

[aberdeen1970]

Because if he breaks his lovely long neck tomorrow he gets 5 years wages, not 1.

Suits both parties then as McInnes said.

 

Joe gets a pay rise and 5 years security playing for a club he likes in a place where his family are happy.

 

We get an excellent goalie for longer.

 

If there is a fee in the deal then it will be at a figure where we get a good return I'd think as opposed to leaving on a free in a year's time or a much smaller fee late in his contract.

 

Either way it suits both parties. I don't think there's anything sinister going on here on Joe's part.

[G31DON]

The structure could be an increase in wages every year of the 5 that he stays for.

Aye that would be a smart move if that's the case.

He’d get a top of the range superman outfit.

Other tit bits from last night:

 

There will be loans again - there is a budget to stick to and some loans allow that to go a bit further

 

Club will be making a huge PR exercise across news, social media etc on Wednesday

 

Shinnie and GMS fit for Hibs

 

GMS likely to go to MLS

 

Ethan Ross to be a first team starter next season

 

Captain could be Logan, Lewis, McKenna or a couple of the new players also

 

7-8 players to be signed this summer

 

2-3 players to be signed in the next two weeks

 

Lots of other teams were interested in Joe Lewis so the deal has had to be structured in a way that was acceptable to all parties

 

Part of Wednesday plans announced as a meeting with club and season ticket holders (+DNA) to address funding of team, training complex, stadium etc.

[Guest]

I'm really excited now about next season

 

This season was fucked from the off by our transfers not working out

 

We surely cant be that unlucky again

 

With good money invested in 2 wingers and a number 10 that will transform our style and the way we play football

 

His signings not working out have hampered us all season

We're in for Curtis Main. I understand it tho, you're a dreamer x

[Tord31]

McInnes says we won't be paying any fees and then some of the fans lose their shit.

 

We'll pay a fee if the management team can make a good case.

 

I'd back the board to tell DM to feck off after wasting £150k on Forrester who was like a man down

I'll probably go to this.

I do find it strange however, when Cormack is in the press saying how vital qualifying for the EL group stages is for the club long term. IMO they are asking DMc to perform miracles with the budget he has. We should be doing better domestically as many other clubs are the same, but I don't think we're qualifying for Europe proper without some genuine quality through the door.

I'd say those three signings wouldn't be enough though.

 

We need to strengthen upfront (i.e. punt May and replace him with someone who scores goals) and bring in a midfield general Shinnie replacement. Also will need a left-back actually.

 

Lewis

 

Logan McKenna Considine New LB

Ferguson New CM

New Winger / New 10 / New Winger (McLennan and Ross fine backups to those wide positions)

Cosgrove / New Striker

 

That can win us a cup and get us a comfortable 3rd imo which would be a strong season. Hopefully we can get 3rd this season starting with a win tonight.

Agreed. Teams like Wolfsburg and Sevilla etc. can be got in the 3rd qualifiying round. We should have done it at least once under McInnes but generally you need a really good draw twice to have any chance.

That's a bit of a pessimistic view

 

Lewis in goals with Rogers as backup it seems.

 

McKenna should be LCB and Consi as deputy

Devlin/NEW as the options for RCB (Shaughnessy?)

 

Logan as RB. Ideally that NEW RCB can be backup for RB.

We need a genuine LB but possible to hold off if we think Lowe is a serious possibility as in any event we have Consi as an ok to start pre season.

 

Midfield - we need two first picks in here to go with Ferguson. Campbell as 4th pick so he'll be involved regularly. Once weve signed the two new midfielders then get Gleeson punted out on loan as for whatever reason DM does not like him. Seems like Djoum is being coveted as one possible.

 

Wingers

 

McGinn and McLennan will be fine but we need a third at a first pick level. Someone like Marley Watkins or Craig Conway will float DM's boat. Wright and Ross can be kept/traded in August based on how things look until then.

 

Forwards

 

2 new forwards required. Once these are signed we can actively market Cosgrove and May

Agree with quite a lot of this but not all. For one Considine is streets ahead of Devlin. Unless we are getting an upgrade there (not a priority unless McKenna leaves) then Considine should be the main starter. Considine doesn't work at left-back so definitely need a replacement there. I wonder if Lewis Stevenson would be an option? 

 

Djoum + one other guy with energy sounds great.

 

McGinn, McLennan, Wright/Ross and someone of serious quality like Chris Cadden would be good.

 

I would keep Cosgrove due to age but we definitely need a striker there too. I'd be looking at someone with pace as a foil to Cosgrove. Maybe Joe Dodoo on loan?

[strachanmcgheegoal]

Pace or a brain. Preferably both.

[Ten Caat]

There's fishing and then there's trawling Mr Miller. 

 

Joe fucking Dodoo. You think nothing can can surprise you on here then this appears....

Are you for real??

Er yeah what's the problem? We need a guy with genuine pace upfront. I'm open to other suggestions but don't see the issue with trying to get him?

Most infiltrators would maybe make 25 or so completely bland posts prior to starting the wind up shite. Your desperation to get cracking has betrayed you. Fuck off back to swallow swallow or whatever Neanderthal sevconian cyberhovel it is you usually infest...

[RUL]

Am I the only one who has no idea who this Dodoo boy is?

[maryhilldon]

 

 

Lewis

 

Logan McKenna Considine New LB

Ferguson New CM

New Winger / New 10 / New Winger (McLennan and Ross fine backups to those wide positions)

Cosgrove / New Striker

Bizarre post! You say we need 6 new players for the starting 11, you have no idea who these players might be yet you're confident they'll be good enough for us to comfortably finish 3rd and win a cup!? That's a ridiculous statement.

[boboisared]

Shite player at the huns.

 

This guy is obviously a troll. He's suggesting we play McGinn tonight then pleading ignorance afterwards.

[strachanmcgheegoal]

Do you remember the match where Jack was magnificent for the hun whilst still playing for us and gifted them 2 goals? Dildo got the 3rd I believe.

I'd say you're trying too hard but you seem to have got a couple of bites.

 

This another 360 account?

[WillieMiller]

Joe Dodoo?. Considine streets ahead of Devlin? Fuck me min, are you @London_Scottish under a new moniker? I have read some shite on here but the stuff you have spouted is stuff that is beyond being treated at a sewage treatment works.

Considine has been getting picked in the big games a lot more recently and done well. Especially since Christmas. Devlin's been pretty poor since his bad injury tbh

We've got a good manager and I'm confident we will get 3rd. Because well we always do at as a very minimum! Clarke will leave the tinpots and Hearts are shite. Only Hibs any challenge to us I'd say and they have more of a rebuild than we do imo.

[Tord31]

If we are signing anyone from the Huns it should be Docherty. Otherwise no.

That's just blind faith. If Mcinnes' recent signing record continues we're only going to get worse next season, which is pretty depressing considering how gash we've been this season, even when we've won.
