Everything is dead quiet out of Pittodrie. Either absolutely nothing is happening on the transfer front or all the leaks have now left the building. Aye it’s as quiet as Anne Frank’s drum kit. Disappointing as we are a good bit short. Link to comment

Even the newspaper rumour sites haven't made a squeak about Aberdeen rumours for a couple of weeks. Absolutely nothing since Ramirez signed. Couple of loans later in the window unless Ferguson is sold I reckon. Link to comment

Everything is dead quiet because we are still working with a limited budget (No crowds / commercial opportunities limited as a result of Covid restrictions). We done some business and were now effectively holding until some others move out. This happens every year. Just some perspective though. Here is a high level league transfer dealings this summer Aberdeen (6 in, 6 out) Celtic (4 in, 6 out) Dundee (3 in, 5 out) Dundee Utd (2 in, 6 out) Hearts (6in, 11 out) Hibs (3 in, 6 out) Livingston (9 in, 11 out) Motherwell (8 in, 12 out) SevCo (3 in, 4 out) Ross County (3 in, 10 out) St Johnstone (1 in, 3 out) St Mirren (8 in , 6 out) Only St Mirren have increase numbers, most have reduced Link to comment

Hibs for example have only brought in 3 but they had a stronger squad to start with. Nisbet, Doidge, Boyle etc. We've brought in 6 sure enough, but have failed to add the proven attacking quality required. Ramirez and Jenks are gambles, and ones I'm happy for the club to make - however they should be bonus balls signings, but in reality they are our only hope. Link to comment

sooth_stander Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 Can’t the idiots on here not just log into www.cunt.net and talk amongst themselves there, and leave the transfer rumours to us grown ups? Just a thought….. Is the lack of transfer rumours and any other stories emanating from AFC not down to the departure of a certain individual within the club? The same person who clearly knew he was departing 12 months ago and liked to feed titbits to the likes of Tom English? As Jose Mourinho would say - “I sink so”, 1 1 Link to comment
AyrshireSheep Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 St mirren ST holder mate of mine reckons we are about to sign Kyle Mcallister. Says both ourselves and St Johnstone have tabled bids for him. Winger apparently. Can play no10 aswell. Link to comment

Think they signed him from Derby I recall him scoring a pearler up at the Merkie end, left footed curler. EDIT - Appears he came thru the Sevco youth system, then to St Mirren, THEN onto Derby, and then a return to Paisley, initially on loan. Career total of 3 goals. Link to comment
RED_JOHN Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 I don’t believe that for a minute. It’s McGrath we are after. I think we will get him before the transfer window closes. Him and another younger striker. Link to comment
Don_Corleone Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 McAllister showed promise earlier in his career but lost his way a bit. He’s probably the type of player we need - someone creative who can travel with the ball and has a bit of pace - possibly better than Kennedy but not really going to dramatically improve the team. this is a nice goal though… Link to comment

St Mirren fans appear happy enough to see him leave if he does. That’s a decent barometer. He’s had a bad back injury which has restricted him apparently. Can’t say this would improve us. 1 Link to comment

Tord31 Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 Would be a very strange one. We have McLennan, Kennedy, Hedges, McGinn and Hayes (and JET will pick up some midfield minutes) so we really dont need to sign another creator unless they are going to be a clear first pick. I actually really liked the look of Magennis and McAllister a few years back but neither have really come to anything so far. Link to comment

St Mirren fans want rid of him. If this is the standard of signing we can expect under Glass we will fast become a bottom 6 side. 1 Link to comment

Yip, that’s what they’re saying. We need an upgrade on Kennedy & McLennan. He’s not it. ”Bizarre” is the word they seem to be bandying about. I’d rather wait until the new HoR is in place before we sign anyone, he’ll have fresh ideas. 1 Link to comment

Can keep Devlin company in the physio room. It seems to be the St Johnstone rumour that's gathering pace so hopefully they get him. Glass said he didn't want squad fillers and that's exactly what he'd be here. Don't see the point and i'd be quite disappointed if we signed him in all honesty. 2 1 Link to comment

Bournemouth Gee Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 Re McAllister Hopefully not the case that Glass has had a proper look now at the new guys and isn't convinced by what he's seen. Smacks a bit of desperation this one Link to comment

Smacks a bit of desperation this one I don’t think it’s so much the new guys as none of them play same position. If I remember he is an attacking left sided player. He was St Mirrens main man for a while . Don’t think he would be the worst addition to the squad. Particularly when folk have been moaning we don’t have enough attacking midfield options. 1 Link to comment
