Summer 2021

[fine-n-dandy]

It’s hard to compete with the rest of the fodder running around trying to mop up the shite splashed out from the trough 

 

This is a Mcinnes type toss a coin signing.

Glass will be moving onto ‘recovering’ from serious injuries next

[super_al]

A younger player with an option to buy. I can't see what the issue is here.

Nope me neither. He's not being heralded as the next big thing. With the budget we work to, and now with Consi injured too, we will have to roll the dice with a young striker who may hit some form. 

I'm sure there are one or two other 'established' names bring lined up too

Aberdeen needs to have some standards. Loan quality needs to be more along the campana level from the wolves. But he's a grasshopper. Soooo, I'd rather see 250k invested in a prospect from latin america or africa that could be sold on. 

Aberdeen could get some cut rate signngs with healthy sell ons and develop a good reputation with clubs in Latin America.

This type of shyte should end up at ross county or st johnstone.

[Sonoftherock]

Benefit of the doubt and lets give him a chance!  However, Bradford cut short his loan & sent him back to Wolves last season!  A quick search on social media - Bradford fans are saying he was an absolute donkey! 

I was getting flamed for suggesting we should be looking at McNulty (who apparently had another good game for United at the weekend) as our back-up!  There are some lads on here, who're presumably logging on from another planet!

Bradford cut his loan short ?

 

[minijc]

Glad that everyone is writing off youngsters before even seeing them play.  We are crying out for pace up front and this lad has it, plenty of his goals for the U23s are online and he looks handy enough, at his age he may be close to turning a corner in his career and improving.

[King Street Loon]

Half you lads had written off Scott Brown and were calling him past it before he'd kicked a ball this season. Now you all can't wait to line up to jerk him off.

Nobody thought McKenna any use after flopping at Ayr. Mackenzie after a struggle at Forfar.

Give this kid a chance he may surprise you.

He’s shite could be one?!

[Torry Tosser]

Now let me get my head round this..A guy who was shite in League 2 doon Sooth and also shite at non league Kittybrewster or whatever,and we're taking him with an option to buy...Aye we're really pushing the boat out aren't we...Still you never know he might come good when he ends up at Deveronvale.?

[brownie]

Could sign Ronaldo and some folk would moan that he's too old.

[DD1903]

So the chairman announces we will have a 'process' where we will try to identify and buy young players with potential, with the aim of developing and selling them on for profit, and yet many are surprised to see us going for a young player!? 
 
We also added a coach who specialises in coaching strikers, with many regularly posting that he must now of some young players (with potential) that he could recommend we sign to develop, and now when we do, it's not acceptable!? 
 

lolz

 

lets see how he does and who else we sign

I don’t think anyone would be able to make a valid complaint about signing one of the all-time greats.

You do realise we have one recognised striker at our club for a full season? Folk wouldn’t be so pissed off if we had decent cover in that department, but we don’t, all the talk of PRAWCESS and non squad fillers(which is precisely what he is) he has done nothing of note in his career even getting sent to fuck back from the massive club in Bradford while the likes of championship clubs(?) hearts pull out moves for a recognised decent young talent in woodburn. These types of signings will have us pulling away from the likes of hibs and have us challenging the stinky 2?, waste of wage, waste of time.

Lol 

better prospect than the wolves gimp. That a do know!

2nd youngest scorer for wales behind bale and already has ten caps for them!, so has by far a better pedigree and is showing far more promise than the amazing Austin, Failure of Bradford

Maybe, maybe not but still, imagine getting this worked up over a signing that we need, incredible.

Where to start...

I can't say I'd ever heard of woodburn tbh. I'll take you word on him being 'recognised'. 
 

Surely this is the 'prawcess'? we sign young players with the aim of developing them. Some will be a success, some won't. We have to wait and see how they do. What were you expecting,  If this isn't the 'prawcess' ? 
 

Also, I'm fully aware of the squad at the moment - but, we still have time to sign more players before the transfer window 'slams shut'. Therefore, I won't be requiring to change my bed sheets just yet

Have you seen much of woodburn?

[Tord31]

No pant pissing here until its confirmed we are not getting a fourth striker in. I will be preparing my paw patrol bed sheets.

Lad did well in the first reserve match of the season but does not seem to be coming with reputation of Jenks for example (who had options in English Championship)

So with one recognised striker we are following Pep and Man City philosophy
