Ball playing centre half, dons daft. Be a good signing. Not long signed extension at Coventry though so can’t see it

Done well since he left us, think he signed a new deal in October time so he's contracted until 2023.

Still wouldn't be a bad option to pursue for us

[Zeus]

Terribly mismanaged by Mcinnes iirc 

[Tord31]

where is the mcginn to sturm graz shout coming from? Fair play to the lad if he goes for that. I thought he'd end up at Dons/County/Hamilton/United on £1k/week

Wouldnt say so. Made his debut vs Saints and we got pumped 3-0 if I remeber rightly?
Never really given a chance and had to go to Ayr to prove himself, same could also be said of Dan Harvie I guess

Aye hauled off at HT, made the scapegoat IMO.

As so many young players have been

[anderson72]

Is there any potential stand out youngsters coming through the youth ranks?

Heard about Ramsey and Mckenzie.

 

It will be cool to have exciting talent grace  and excite the fans.

Ethan Ross looked really promising when he broke through. The guy on loan to Cove, Ngwenya looks decent too. Ruth? 

[aberdeen1970]

What about the boy Hanratty who has just signed a new deal?  Dangana?

I didn't see anything of promise in an Aberdeen shirt from Ethan Ross, Ngwenya was the fall guy from the Dingwall fiasco in January and subsequently saw his chances of being involved disappear while Ruth hasn't had much of a chance at first team level, think he did well during a loan spell at Arbroath though.

Agree re Ross, apart from doing alright v Dumbarton I’ve not seen much to think he will be a starter anytime soon unfortunately.

My Nephews mate is a coach with the under 15s and he reckons Hanratty is by far the best of the current prospects at Pittodrie

Cheers. 

Is he a forward?  We could be doing with some young forwards coming through the system.

I think he is more of a number 10 but he is quite strong and skilful w

A young number 10 will do nicely!

Suspect he could be one of the players that is shipped out to Atlanta B on loan. Could be good for his development and see him back with the first team before end of year. The length of his contract is a good indicator of how much the club rate him. Often just a 1 or 2 year deal.  

[sheepshagger]

Hanratty is class ?

We do not sign young players. We prefer them to be 30+ but under 24/25 is crazy.

What happened to our alleged interest in Euan Murray 

we have still not got decent cb cover,

I thought he would have been a decent option for us not outstanding but would have definitely done a job 

surely we could get him before st mirren , Motherwell , Kilmarnock

There a clue in who is interested in him.

26 year old who’s never played in the top league?

No thanks

If he was 30 with a bit more experience it might be a different story

Yeah apparently that’s fine as we need a load o old ‘experienced pros’ to teach all the youngsters ? football is so complicated you can never win anything with youngsters

Depressingly true

If he was 30 and had 2 decent top league seasons and a season in the jail he would be our star signing

[fine-n-dandy]

Apparently our new signings are signing their contracts with bingo dabbers.

Not sure how true this is. Heard it from the GWT’s granny

So what kind of players do you want Aberdeen to be signing.
 

You don’t want anybody aged 30+ but also don’t want players coming into their prime with no top flight experience.

So all that’s left is young prospects who won’t come cheap to purchase or players in their prime with top flight experience who will cost a significant wedge of cash in fees and also in wages. Can Aberdeen really afford to sign as much players as they need for the coming season from that pool of players.

I don't think we can afford not to
