Exactly.

Folk happy with signing him need to check his track record over his career.

Its really poor.

13 league goals... since 2015!

5 goals in 22 for a Livingston team he couldn’t get in for ages.

We can & should be looking at better.

Hopefully this is folk putting 2+2 together to make anything other than 4. 

 

But he had 2 reasonable games against us!!! So he must be good!!!

A 30 something  defensive / midfield journeyman with no resale value and a history of injury or a six foot plus non scoring centre forward?

For a club that's just lost £10 million in the pandemic I fear this is going to be the type of player we are targeting this summer. Cheap as chips as David Dickinson would say

He looks to have a lot more about him than Curtis main but I’ll only really seen him against us. Expectations on signing have been ramped up off the back of interviews with cormack and Glass. This definitely does not fit that mould. 

He's rotten. Look at his career stats. Two decent games against our pish poor defence isn't a reason to sign a player 

[Simosmashed my knee]

I cannot believe we are allegedly looking at Clark Robertson, as previously mentioned there are numerous English based players out of contract this summer that will be freed due to clubs cutting back due to Covid. Aneke of Charlton would be better than JET. Dunne, Wallace, Hyman, McIntyre would all be a better options than Clark Robertson dependant on wage demands however we should be pushing for these better options.

100% this.

15 goals in 5 years & folk want to sign him.

Fuck that

Certainly looks nothing like a £2m player.

Everton took Reims pants down with that one. 

Of the absolute clusterfuck that was the January window I can understand taking the punt on Hornby.

And were maybe not best placed to be lecturing anyone about attributes of a player for £2m.

JET and Calum Hendry leading us to the treble next season 

[Ten Caat]

I think there's a decent player somewhere in Hornby

However he'll never stay fit for more than 3 games in a row to start proving it

Out of the game (possibly retired) by age 27 is my guess

3 goals between them? 

[Zeus]

Don't forget Bruce Anderson coming off the bench. Supersub.  15 goals from the bench minimum 

[starryfish]

Dion Charles?

We haven’t lost £10m.

Our usual sources of income may be down £10m, but a large chunk of it has been made up through transfers, insurance and director investment.

Where is this coming from? Few folk now mentioned him.  

He's on sky for Accrington just now.

Offering more than Curtis main isn't a reason to sign someone either

A poster on AbMad is claiming our next signing is a McInnes type of player but one that excites him. Apparently its not Clark.

Mainstandmoan?

He’s usually on the ball with AFC transfer rumours.

Cormack did promise super signings.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!?Oh Shit.

I'm sure he had one embarrassing moment regarding a signing that never happened but usually his source seems reliable enough.

I'm presuming by a McInnes signing he means someone once rated very highly but has suffered at least one catastrophic injury that has hindered his career. Louis Moult would fit that bill but doubtless so would many others. 

[Ten Caat]

Just took a look...it's Aldo 1983 that said it. 

A few others have jumped on the JET bandwagon "It's Jet I'm hearing" "yeah that's who I heard" etc

File under "a pile of shite" 

[aberdeen1970]

This will be an unpopular opinion no doubt but a one year deal as a wildcard option off the bench wouldn't be the end of the world.  Gives defenders a hard time and more skilful than people give him credit for. 

Would be expecting much better as first choice though.

It would all depend on who else we signed I suppose.

If he ended up being the equivalent of a 3rd choice striker then maybe.

1st or even 2nd pick would be poor though.

The facts & stats don’t lie.

Aldo is pretty decent, to be fair, on that Shitfest of a website

What games you basing this on? The two against us?

I've watched him a few times in other games as well. 

Remember though I said wildcard option off the bench, not Aberdeen's first choice striker. 

If Russell thought he could get something out of the guy would you trust his judgment?

I thought you were one of the posters on about stopping the signing of squad players?

He's shite and he's 30. It's a big no from me and I recognise we need squad players.

I'm not saying we should sign him Tord. I wouldn't have a 31 year old as back up striker. 

But if they decide to bring him in I think he could probably make a contribution off the bench. 

People' s emotions are too high just now.

Mcinnes type signing must be Lou Moult.   Is there any other strikers hobbbling along just now.
