Blatantly obvious we are needing another striker why wasn’t this apparent to the club? Completely and utterly unqualified to do the job. If you want a Barrister you don’t just employ the keen lad who runs about collecting the papers, you employ a Barrister. At Aberdeen we decided we needed a DOF and appointed the nice chap who was good at admin. Absolutely ridiculous. Get someone qualified in to do the job. 8 Link to comment
Jigsaw666 Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 If that's us done for the January window we've had the same success Glass would have in an Amsterdam window. One injury to Ramirez and Aberdeen 0 will become a Saturday afternoon staple. Link to comment
Jazzer08 Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 Ruth aside, are there no other young strikers ready to step up and at least make the bench? I'd rather bring on a promising youth with 20 minutes to go (and at least see what he's made of) rather than JET who has already run out of breath during the warm up. You'd at least get some energy and enthusiasm. Link to comment

We've signed A 20 year old Dutch lad and an American youngster with supposedly a great deal of potential + we've added Adam Montgomery on loan until the end of the season. I'd rather we signed no one than sign players for the sake of it. The summer is when we should see the club makes serious changes to the squad. This was the first look at what the recruitment team is striving for. Weve decided to go with no back up striker. It's not a successful window. We decided to sell McGinn and Hedges, and let Samuels go when we had only one replacement lined up, and Watkins was out for 2-3 months. Hedges in particular could be a very big fuck up now. We are certainly not stronger than we were and the management will be praying the dutch lad is an instant success Link to comment
WesthillWanderersFC Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 1 minute ago, Durrant Dived said: Why the fuck did we let Hedges go if we hadnt a replacement sorted? Useless cunts. They’ll say that Besuijen is the replacement. But I get your point. We needed an additional winger, unless they’re counting Hayes/Montgomery as that? What baffles me most is no new striker - that’s football mismanagement. If Ramirez gets injured we’re fucked & he looks like he needs rested or is running on empty as it is. Link to comment

Andy_123 Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 Glass ain’t in charge of the recruitment, no matter what he says. He’s a “head coach” on a 12 month rolling deal. Gunn as DOF should be the guy getting the grief. He’ll be doing the negotiations, so if we have failed to get any deals over the line that’s on him. Cormack has a lot to answer for as well. He’s got no clue about the footballing side of running the club. 1 Link to comment

Cormack 100% to blame here. Other guys have been over promoted and are guilty of being a wee bit too smug for their own good since they've achieved fuck all yet but Cormack is on the hook for it all. It's his philosophy, his leadership structure, his appointments. 1 Link to comment

JET and McLennan of course. 19 minutes ago, WesthillWanderersFC said: Ok I don’t dislike him as a person. I dislike him as a manager & he should be 4,000 miles away from Aberdeen, co-incidentally the distance from Atlanta to Aberdeen. Cormack can poke his prawcess up his hole & take his puppet show with him. This poor window is just the final straw for the shitshow they’re running. He's not the manager, he's the Head Coach. He's also not involved in the transfer negotiation prawcess. That's done by Gunn and others on the board. Glass just says I'd like him, him and him. Up to the board to get that over the line. For which they have failed. The only thing Glass deserves flak for is not getting a team capable of consistently winning on the pitch. Do you all not for one minute think Glass would like a better quality of player to choose from? For me, he's been let down as much as the fans have been. The buck stops with Cormack & Gunn. 4 Link to comment
