Bryson

Such as who? This is the market we are in, we can't afford to buy young players with something to prove, Ryan Christie being the obvious one.

 

Except we could afford to buy him, our offer was accepted but Celtic had an injury crisis just before the window closed and kept him as cover.

Did we sign Craig Bryson on the recommendation of a medical report faxed by Derby County (The Velicka) or did he actually have and pass a medical at Aberdeen, prior to signing?

 

What do they actually do in training, and what is the role of our Sports Scientist, Graham Kirk? Very worrying times ahead.

Other teams seem to manage it just fine. Hopefully Russ Richardson follows McInnes out the door. Our scouting over the past however many years has been fucking dire. We seem to be the only team in the league that doesn't look abroad for players. Motherwell signed a Seedorf, we sign Greig fucking Leigh.

Interesting thought as to who is responsible for getting players fit. The manager or the sports scientist. All I know is that 2 overweight, lazy but talented forwards in Stewart and Shankland have been and gone. Seemed to get their act together pretty quickly elsewhere.

Wow.

 

You said we can't afford to.  The fee and wages were agreed but the transfer fell through because the tims had a load of injuries.

 

So obviously we can 

Celtic have about a million midfielder, not buying that for a minute.

 

Why haven't we signed someone else of equal talent with that money then?

The useless gimp in the dugout bought Chris Forrester instead although I'll forgive you for forgetting about that cunt

You think Stewart has got his act together? He has started 1 game in about 3 months.

Lawrence Shankland certainly has, whilst Greg Stewart did it during his spell at Kilmarnock.

 

We badly need a complete overhaul of training/management/scouting staff, which in turn would save a lot of money in wages and potential redundancy pay offs. There would be no requirement for pay offs/redundancies if there was no need for certain positions, i.e. sports scientists, football consultants, incapable coaches and scouts.

 

There were hardly any injuries in the days when Aberdeen trained on Aberdeen beach or the car park in the shadow of the main stand, so cannot understand why we endure such extensive injuries nowadays when players seem to be even more protected compared with back then.

Oh the good old days of training at the beach etc.

 

Up until this season we have been pretty fortunate with injuries during DMC's time.
