You should try getting out more, there is a whole world to explore and do exciting things in as opposed to pishing your pants daily on a football forum about who we are are going to sign or what game our manager has been at lately.

While I will always support Aberdeen, I have also learned that football, especially Scottish football, is nae worth getting your (wife's) knickers in a twist about.

Why do so many feel the need to exaggerate how they think everyone else is feeling about the club? ?

You paint these imaginary scenarios in your mind & just run with it ?

when folk are pissed off with their club they can voice said opinions without it meaning to the extent folk like you believe it has them feeling in your mind ?

 

it’s like you have this desperate need to feel more sensible & less bothered as it’s just trivial. A self created arrogance & self importance ? 

 

The fact you feel the need to voice such on others opinions shows this in spades ?

 

I have traveled & worked all over the world, lived in 3 different countries & 2 continents. I ‘get out’ plenty & am perfectly content with my life as a whole. Football is just a hobby. ?

Scott Burns says the Dons and Scales up for a permanent transfer but loan most likely outcome

[Dave Bus]

Also says we’re looking at a loan deal for McGrath, ugh

Nothing to do with swaps but Celtic can play hardball and ensure we don't get Scales unless we let them get Barron.

Best outcome is we tell them to shove scales up their arse then

Get the feeling that this can’t be the left centre back signing that Goodwin was talking about? It’s like this is a new development?

Could be convinced as this guy seems like a left back

[Dave Bus]

Yeh I agree, Goodwin sounded like the lcb was a done deal and that it was gonna be announced by end of the week or start of this week, seems like we’re far from even agreeing a deal with Celtic. 

[super_al]

The papers are often a few days behind the real developments. I suspect things will move forward next week.

Yup. The revisionism from some folk is hilarious. 

Ramirez was, and still is, a very good striker at our level. One we'll really struggle to replace. 

I’m not convinced we would struggle.

When Rooney left, we replaced him easily enough.

When Cosgrove left, we replaced him easily enough..

The only reason for us struggling to replace Ramirez would be if the recruitment team reckon a Main, Wilson, May etc type was the answer. Certainly wouldn’t be because the right player isn’t out there.

I think this is the one he was talking about. He was referring to the deal being done by probably the beginning of this week. I suspect they thought it would be. 

He's not really helped himself if yiu read the Burns article. According to that we are looking at 5 players in Scales, McGrath, Dunne, Ronan and Hladky. 4 of which he's signed previously. So much for searching far and wide and no more lazy recruitment. 80% of the transfer rumours are exactly that. It's like McInnes is back in the building ?

Come on now. Window doesn't open until Friday.

 

I'll guess that the relationship has changed then, especially since Goodwin is no longer repped by them either.

4 of those be decent signings tbf so long as the Tim’s not a loan.

Dunne can get in the bin though

Dosnt look good does it. Can only assume the papers are clutching at straws or we are in for a tough season again.

If they were on permanent contracts then fair enough. But of the 4 thwt would be decent additions 3 would be on loan in all liklihood. All we are then doing is kicking the can further down the road. 

We have a HoR so you can't seriously tell me he can't source better that we can get permanently? Maybe he can't.

Seem to be stocking up on CM’s again. Ronan, McGrath and the Albanian boy, is any of them a creative spark we desperately need?

Ronan can play right wing I'm sure and I've seen McCarthy play on the left, either would be ideal as a number 10 which is something we really need.

Reading this, i'm finding it so hard to not to let my feelings for Goodwin spill out. Surely he doesn't see 4 St Mirren / ex-St Mirren players and a loan from Celtic as the way forward. Which one of those 5 is the one thats going to get us all really excited?

I’m not convinced on Ronan or McGrath but they are better than what we have so I guess that’s something.

Hopefully get a few foreign players on top of that which will excite the fans a bit more as I agree it doesn’t  look ideal.

Ronan would probably be Ferguson's replacement and McGrath would be the number 10 i'd think. I do worry still about the creativity though. I don't think either of those 2 answer the lack of creativity. McGrath is a penalty machine. And he's been picking splinters out of his arse for 6 months.

Ferguson is likely to leave this summer. We've recently released Scott Brown, McGeouch and Ojo. Dean Campbell looks set to leave on loan.

We've badly needed an enforcer type which Ramadani supposedly is.

We've not had an attacking midfielder really since Christie and McLean left several years ago. Ronan and/or McGrath would both be a good signing and exactly what we currently need.

I'm also fully behind the Scales signing especially if we can get him permanently. A young left sided defender is desperately needed.

With Kennedy and McLennan potentially leaving I'm hopefully we'll sign a winger or two.

[DD1903]

Given we need about 10 or so players, would anyone be surprised if some of that number were players that Goodwin knows from coaching them before?

Ronan is hearts bound I think going by what it says online.

Nothing wrong with nailing down a few signings that he trusts. It's common sense not to take a risk with every single one.

[Dad]

He knows they're terrific cunts and will sweat blood for the Dons - bring them home ?

[aberdeen1970]

Nae point getting worked up about paper talk.  It's just lazy guesswork for the most part.  

Rodgers and Gerrard have been continuously 'linked' with their former players at Celtic and the Huns in the papers and I don't think either have signed a single one of them yet.

Where has it been reported Kennedy is potentially leaving? Goodwin likes him.

This place is awful for folk just making shit up.

That is entirely different from your original point.
