Never heard of the loon.

 

Scored for Huddersfield against Burnley on Saturday. Wouldn't be against him coming here. 8 goals in 20 games in the championship last season. Some have him as a striker others a winger.

Goal ratio of about 1 in 4. That was probably with decent supply. He’d be feeding off scraps with us some weeks.

Sounds like a Watkins type.
Can play anywhere along the front line. 
Not an out & out no.9? 

[Redtaz2 32]

That’s ok then , good support for “USA”

Looks like a watkins type yeah. Transfermrkt has him as a centre forward but local press in huddersfield says he's a winger. If he is indeed a watkins type i still think we need a proper "no9". Of course things could very well be going on behind the scenes but the lack of another out and striker leaves me with the fear of Ramirez getting injured. 

[BonnieDon 222]

So far we've been linked with Josh Koroma, Jamie McGrath, Ryan Broom, Zander Clark, Conor McGrandles and David Odumosu.

Never seen him play. Plays in the Irish League. 

Us, United and some  English clubs linked in the media.  As always, taken with a pinch of salt until anything actually happens. 

Edit, just discovered he's went to Bolton on a trial.

Ive no idea if he's a Dons fan. Even then, he's never played for us. 

Hes from Laurencekirk I'm sure. Wouldn't class that as Aberdeen

Hold on, why would Huddersfield, a team competing for English champ play offs, loan us one of their best players?

Aye, and only signed some college graduate from the yankee Highland league

If that’s one of their best players then they have no chance of getting promoted.

Gurr would've come good 

[paddy 245]

Love the fact that sometimes players come along and everyone and their dogs know they will be useless. Gurr is one of these players. 
Why on earth Cormack/Glass et al thought he’d be the standard we need is anyones guess. Boggles the mind!

Agree. 

We do have a high level  of eejits within our fan base when it comes to acceptance of new players but we were all 100% in agreement that this one would never fly.

As I said earlier, even Ferguson fucked up the odd one; Andy Harrow here and Ralph Milne at Utd.

But the signing of Gurr sent out warning signs straight off the bat

We all knew it. But Glass at the Q&A arrogantly dismissed the question, saying we’ll soon see the quality Gurr has

From what we saw in the summer, his judgement of a player, is at very, best questionable.

Indeed at best it's questionable,

Samuels, Longstaff, Jet, Gurr jeezuz fcukin wept Glass and co need to 100% up their game in the recruitment side of things, but up till now this window is not looking like being any better than the summer time, couple of names being branded around but that means fek all, reality is the only signing we have actually made till now (half way through the window, when shiny teeth slippery fish cormack       promised that the business in this window would be done fast) is some jumped up college graduate from the Highland league of the states.

We're all doomed I tell ya doomed.

Longstaff should have been decent. Can''t blame Glass for taking the boy in, almost everyone in here were happy with the signing.

Jet is decent in spells and on his game he's brilliant.

Can't argue with Gurr. 

Samuels I never seen enough of. Looked alright when he first came, but that was it. 

[RED_JOHN 109]

Quite pleased we are getting rid of players who are obviously not producing the displays needed when on the pitch. They were all given chances but didn’t do anything to warrant a start in the team at any time. 
Nothing personal against the lads but I hope they learn from the opportunity we gave them and adapt their game to benefit themselves.

Have to agree. It’s 1 thing making a complete arse of recruitment but atleast they are calling out the mistakes and sending them packing rather than persevere till the end of the season with them. All I ask is we get rid of the shite, blood some more of our “emerging talent” and bring in 3 quality players this window. I don’t want any shite squad fillers unless they are 21 or under.

The market we work in (especially the English one) will always bring big risk. As you say we will make mistakes as we all know but getting rid of them quickly is a step in the right direction. We need to stop those signings who just fill spaces and genuinely sign players who definitely will provide competition. If we struggle to find those players then we must learn to use the young players at Aberdeen better and make them more ready to compete.

I think it sums up how out of touch they both are with the standard of football in Scotland. They also have an unhealthy affiliation with the game in the US which clearly clouds their judgement.
