Ronan given squad number 56

Yeah just noticed that he’s been given that squad number and included in the squad for the game against Leeds 

However, it might just be until they bring on further reinforcements towards the end of August when he then becomes surplus to requirements

As much as I enjoy the prospect of seeing Ronan in that phenomenal new strip of ours I think we need to move on.

What if we miss out on Plan B because we wait until the last couple of days of the window just to find out he's staying at Wolves?

Arsed with that tinpot behaviour.

Agree... we end up waiting until deadline day and they decide to keep him and we'll end up missing out on other targets and desperately scraping the bottom of the barrel trying to find an option to sign in his place.

Its already dragged on all Summer, time to move on to plan B.

From what I can find is they are away to sell a a mid and bring in a holding mid from Benfica, looks like he's going to get a chance.

Do you know something we don't? What behaviour?

think they just mean let's not be subserviant to fckin Wolves. hopefully we have some continental #10 back up plans. We've left our most important signing to last, partly I assume, because they are the hardest types of players to find.

-Insert Manuel GIF here-. The hypothetical behaviour I just described.

I'm not saying that's what AFC are doing, but if it transpires further down the line that the reason we missed out on signing a player for that position is that we were hoping for Ronan only to be told no when it was all too late? That's tinpot and I'll stomp my feet and go in a huff.

 

Edit: Yeah, what the guy above me said in a far more concise way than I did.

[DelMonte]

The usual posters away to go into panic mode soon. 

[Dandys1983]

I'm sure Aberdeen have been well aware of what Wolves plans were long before now, not sitting about waiting to see  what the squad lists are, pretty confident we have someone coming in soon ?

I agree we could do with an established/marquee #10 but at the same time we are filling the squad with loads of wingers. They can't all play. I think we could see vinny/barron there all season if a #10 doesnt come in.

Vinny has been playing it so far and looks better for it. I think Barron could be great in that role. Think his first game for us he was further forward. Can pick a pass, beat a man and great feet. Although his shooting could be a bit better.

However, he's also done very well in the more defensive role that Goodwin has put him in. I remember when Jim first came in he said something about Lewis Ferguson being played too far forward meaning he has less of the ball and less influence from one of your best players. I wonder if he sees Barron the same way.

Having said that, bringing in another number 10 would be great. Still need competition for that role

Agreed.

I'm quietly confident that the majority of punts are going to stay dry this season.

To put things into context, Ryan Duncan, Liam Harvey, , Connor McClennan, etc all got a squad number for us for the season, doesn't mean they will be here by the close of the transfer window.

Thats fair enough, but i doubt there are teams out there holding on to see what decisions Aberdeen make over the next few weeks in order for Duncan, Harvey or McClennan etc to be potentially one of their most important signing of the season.

FYI and before the usual suspects jump in i'm not saying we have all our eggs in one basket holding on for Ronan, as others have said i'm hopeful we are already moving on to other targets and not waiting until the last minute in the diminishing hope of getting him.

I mean, if we really want to get some breeks dreich it would be worth pointing out that Barron hasn’t signed the contract extension and it’s not Aug 31st yet.

I think we moved on from him a while ago, the guys that seem to be ITK with Wolves all saying he's getting a chance this season ?

Well my guy at Wolves maintains he's nowhere near ready for regular EPL football.

[KidCreole]

20 years ago I can recall my dad complaining about us trying to sign a successful player from the English 1st division and how that reflected on the standard of Scottish football, Fast forward to us signing a Fleetwood non starter, I wonder if the reason people are so harsh when judging players is because to admit these guys can do a job for us is also to admit to the standard of our league

I'm just going by Twitter and Fans forums? I don't know anyone that supports them! Is the incoming something to get excited about! ?

Just saying we still hope to get him. Don't particularly disagree with you, we know there's some things that would need to happen on Wolves side ?

To others asking, yes, midfielder.
