We should have plenty capacity to get these in even if they have to loans subsidised by parent clubs. Even if we've bust or almost bust the budget we should manage to raise something by loaning out a few players before too long. Even with 9 subs we have too many central midfielders for the bench. If Mackenzie plays a lot at left back (e.g. Hayes doesn't play 50% or more) then we have a lot of wingers too with Kennedy, McLennan, Hedges, McGinn and Hayes plus JET will pick up some minutes in midfield like Glass used Kamberi in three of the games. So I'd say, presuming we keep Ferguson that probably two of Campbell, McGeouch, Ojo and Virtanen can move out, and one of Kennedy and McLennan. That's before including youngsters like Ethan Ross, Ruth (Falkrik bid obviously), Barron etc. So we should have plenty capacity to bring in another 4 in the next 8 weeks. Link to comment

Head of Recruitment incoming too remember. Potentially holding off until he’s in the door. The fact he tried & failed to get Clark Robertson means he knows we need another centre half. He’s dropped a big hint that he’ll be chapping Steven Gunn’s door for another striker. Time yet. 1 Link to comment

Few years touring the lower leagues then come up, speculate, win the league again all while the Dons do fuck all I think the speculation will come once we have a higher value of squad. I’m sure they have data on what they think the squad is valued at but if we can double/treble that value we will speculate more, probably the right way to go about it but will take that bit longer. Biggest gripe in that is the value of basically all the player we have signed is very little as majority are over 30. Link to comment

slippers Posted July 5, 2021 Share Posted July 5, 2021 We should just sign Adrian Bernabe and Felix Nmecha to complete our window and offload anyone we don’t think will have a role. Link to comment

I would think Ojo would be the most likely to get let go if someone wants to buy him or even borrow him. Virtanen maybe out on loan again too. We really need to get rid of both Kennedy and McLennan if we're going to make progress - both utterly useless whatever position you play them in. Wingers who can't beat an opponent or cross the ball properly are a total waste of time. I hope we can maybe use them in bargaining with the likes of St Mirren or St Johnstone for one of their players. Link to comment

We need the numbers and cover so presuming we sign a winger send one out on loan in the league to find his mojo Link to comment
The Gee Man Posted July 5, 2021 Share Posted July 5, 2021 Can’t see us letting Ojo go! We would have to pay him off for his final year. Might as well keep him if that’s the case. Unless someone wants him on loan 1 Link to comment

RED_JOHN Posted July 5, 2021 Share Posted July 5, 2021 I hope it isn’t Considine partnering Gallagher. In fairness I am not keen on Devlin either and I don’t know if McCrorie has the ability to be a decent central defender. In saying that though I would rather we spent our money on attacking players. Goals bring entertainment….something we at Aberdeen have been lacking for too long. 1 Link to comment

I'm hoping we hang on to Ferguson beyond this window. He'll be a difficult player for us to replace. A year alongside Scott Brown and hopefully a more successfully Aberdeen side this season should help us command a greater fee for him. Link to comment

Sydney_Red Posted July 6, 2021 Share Posted July 6, 2021 Sorry for asking a daft question but does McCrorie have any pace about him? I saw him play in the middle of the park, and then when he was kind of at left back, but can’t remember if he was fast or not. Link to comment
