Cormack needs to keep his trap shut regarding the business will be done early in the January window and getting the supporters all wound up, thinking there would be a few decent additions coming in. But he was correct, he knew there wasn’t going to be new signings arriving in this window. And so did glass. Link to comment
Dave Bus Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 Yeh originally liked cormacks open approach but now it’s just getting annoying. Talking a big game of being the team to bridge the gap between OF and the rest. Hearts are 11 clear of us in third, which comes with extra dough of 3 million this year (minimum conference league groups) may I add. We should be investing heavily with a speculate to accumulate approach and that should’ve started with McGrath in the door in week 1. Big 10 days ahead. 3 Link to comment

How many teams do you know that run with 1 recognised striker? Only other one i can thunk of is maybe Man City. JET isn't a striker in a million years and if the management team brought him to be one then that's a sackable offence in itself. Watkins isn't an out and out striker either. So it's mot as if the striker situation has suddenly been sprung upon us. Neither is the lack of creativity. If Ramirez has not had a history of muscle injuries he will be playing every game like Rooney usually did. As you say we need someone creative so if someone comes in I’d rather it was spent of a good attacking midfielder not that it’s likely to happen Link to comment

Fortunately his injury came at a time we were able to do so. Glass should be sacked if he doesn’t get cover for Ramirez. We basically have one fkn striker because JET is a waste of fkn skin Link to comment

It’s a disgrace the manager of Aberdeen FC has to report to someone of the ilk of Steven Gunn. No wonder Cormack had to employ Glass…no one worth their salt would have taken that job. That and the fact that Davie Cormack is a total conman. I myself was chuffed when I found out he was talking over from Stewart Milne but the reality is he is powderpuff. To answer your question on Diana….no, it was a descendent of murderers and rapists who looked after her…some radge with big ears. 1 Link to comment
winchester83 Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 Same wind up about manager appointment before announcing Glass, no respect for the support. Looks more and more dodgy. 1 Link to comment

He’ll just do as he’s told - Cormack has his yes men in position. Link to comment

Nothing he is doing or has done since sacking McInnes makes me think he knows what he's doing. From hiring Glass, making Gunn DoF, hiring Mowbray as HoR when all along they said they wanted to "look further afield" for new signings to the complete lack of activity in this window. As somebody said earlier, finishing 3rd this season guarantees European group stage football and we should have pushed for that. Instead, he seems happy to plod along mid-table and putting 2 fingers up to the fans. I just worry that even if we missed out on top 6 Glass won't get the bullet and he'll keep him on because his yank pals tell him to. Imagine a club with our history and tradition being bitched about by an 8 year old fucking club. Absolute shambles. Link to comment

Money better spent in other places I recon It would be good to have more than 1 striker at the club. Doesn't need to be exactly the same type of striker - could go for a wee nippy guy or a taller more powerful player - and that gives the option to play them alongside Ramirez occasionally, not just if he's injured. Basically the only options up front to either replace Ramirez if he's injured, or to partner him if we go two up top are: JET - who can't play up front on his own as he doesn't move. He was actually good when played alongside Ramirez but Glass doesn't generally go two up top. Watkins - can play up front on his own but doesn't carry much goal threat. Always injured so isn't an option very often anyway. McGinn - done. Kennedy - crap. McLennan - more crap, if that's possible. I suspect we'll bring some youngster from England up on loan to sit on the bench for the rest of the season. Samuels the second. 1 Link to comment

What happens if Ramirez gets injured first game after window closes? Not a risk worth taking. Back to amateur hr management (not that Glass has shown anything other than that so far with his transfer record) Link to comment
Bournemouth Gee Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 Where is the confusion here? We have to wait for other clubs to complete signings before we can bring anyone in. We'll probably bring in 1 or 2 loans on the last day of the window. Far from ideal but that is where we are at. 2 Link to comment

That’s what we brought Michael Ruth back for so I don’t think we see another samuels the second at least I fcukin hope we don’t. Michael Ruth is adequate for that role, and give him some minutes late on games if and when 3 points are safe Link to comment
BonnieDon Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 If Aberdeen were to offload McGinn (contract expiring), Kennedy, JET and McLennan either now or in the summer I'd be delighted. Assess Campbell in the summer and if required send him out on loan for next season with the option of a recall. Sadly, I've been more excited by the prospect of those departing than those joining this window. I'd like to see Ross Duncan, Connor Barron and any other talented youngsters given a shot over any loanee from England. 2 Link to comment

I also agree about giving our young players a chance to see what they can do over a loanee from England, but they must grasp the opportunity and not just get a game because they came through our youth system. We should definitely be more ruthless will our young players. If they don’t cut the mustard show them the door. Step up a gear and only employ the very best young players in the country. We can beat Celtic and Rangers there. We need to up our appeal for youngsters to join. Link to comment

No confusion , just the crap Cormack and Gunn come out with regarding getting the buisness done early. What buisness , Only exits. They must have known before making the buisness done early statement they needed to sell before they signed the super stars they had in mind if any.??? Link to comment
