Hmmm…

defensive midfielder? Is that what we need? 

Seems to be the 2nd “unnecessary” signing of the week.

Not convinced we needed another winger, similarly don’t think a defensive midfielder is needed either.

A couple of attacking midfielders were needed.  

Looks like a playmaker to me rather than your typical defensive midfielder.

Not sure of him, has a touch of the Beardsley

It's the ears, might help with his balance though.

Reminds me of Billy Gilmour

Aye, someone who can play a range of passes and switch play quickly 

 

[AyrshireSheep]

If he turns out to be as good for us as Levitt was for the Jutes last season then we won't have gone far wrong. Been looking at him for a year apparently. 

Don't think we'll see a "10" come in this window now. Goodwin says he wants Barron further forward. Suspect it'll be Clarkson and tgen a CH and that'll be us for the window. 

[redstrummer]

this guy is never a starter , don't see the point of a loanee 

[Shinniesta]

Clarkson has played for Liverpool's first team 3 times which to be fair is 3 times more than £4m hun Ben Davies managed.

[Bournemouth Gee]

Could he get a game for Wigan?

Klopp loves Aberdeen, there's clearly a beautiful mutual arrangement between two European giants

I wonder if he would loan us Thiago...

Is that why he recalled Danny Ward to not play?

I read he was a defensive midfielder.

We’ll just have to wait & see.

I’m all for signing young players, but I think there’s a danger we’re signing too many “projects” & not enough known quality.

Does anyone else get the feeling Barron is away now with all the midfielders joining?

Lovely stuff dad. It's not true what they say.

[starryfish]

We shouldn’t be signing anyone on loan if they aren’t going to be a starter. Use our own youth team players to fill the bench.

No but maybe get the feeling he's going to be injured for a whiley

Out for 3 more weeks. Ligament strain.

We've gone from too many 30+ players last season to mostly under 25s.

I don't want to go full Alan Hansen and "you can't win anything with kids" but I'd feel more comfortable with a couple more players in the 27 - 30 bracket who know the Scottish game 

Be interesting to know what the average age of the squad is this year compared to last.

[Brotydon]

The 11 signings will probably never play together as a team but it's interesting to compare them to 11 that Goodwin decided to let go.

New boys:

                    Roos

Richardson Stewart Scales Coulson. 
              Clarkson, Ramadani. 
        Morris.   Roberts.     Duk.  
                     Miovski 

Old boys:

                    Woods

Ramsay, Gallacher, Devlin, Considine. 
              Brown, McGeouch 
         Ojo,   Ferguson, Jenks 
                       Ruth

Bit of a catch 22. If its a bench filler surely better to loan a Liverpool one to sit on our bench and hopefully our youngster goes out on loan and plays for experience?

No reason to think so.

We released about 42 midfielders at the end of last season and I think we have signed 1 who plays in Barron's preferred position? 

Most of the signings are wide players/attackers which we need given how shite the options we had there last year were.

[Zeus]

My source has confirmed there will be no signing this evening.

Agreed. If we’re looking to really keep Barron and develop him AND have him want to stay he has to be playing regularly. Anyone we bring in has to challenge immediately.

Just don’t know how he gets back in. Vinnie is the attacking centre mid and mcrorrie and ramadani are the holding players. 
 

Vinnie can play wide but we keep singing new wide midfielders and now another centre mid and we still have Polvara. We’re very top heavy with little cover for the defence.

This is when the mind starts going to dark places. We’re signing a lot of players who can play where he does. The plastics better not grab this kid. Maybe not the best turn of phrase considering their historical penchant.

If Clarkson is a defensive midfielder it means McCrorie can fill in at CB and RB without a drop off in midfield quality.

We planning on signing any proven midfielders or are we going for potential all the way? 

Levitt was hardly proven when he arrived at the jutes last season. Worked out alright. Who's to say this lad doesn't do the same, make an impact and hold down a place in the team.

People are too quick to write players off based on nothing.

He's perhaps better than what we have. Or our own youth are out getting valuable regular game time instead of warming the bench and this lad can warm the bench instead.
