January Transfers

[ferlaytio]

Richard Brittain & Andrew Shinnie would be top signings.

 

In Randolph, Mannus or Reguero you have 3 better keepers than Clangers.

Dundee United

Jon Daly,

 

Hearts

Darren Barr,

 

Inverness

That would be my shopping list out of those lot.

 

Keep the following Aberdeen players.

[The Boofon]

Out - fallon, langfield, Clark & Jason brown

 

In - new keeper, midfielder and striker

 

 

Would you sacrifice getting rid of 2 keepers and only getting in one ?

 

 

He's only got one goalkeeper in his out list. The other one is a

[Poodler]

Has Mcginn ever said he is keen on stayin? Osborne will be off, Mcginn will end up at the likes of burnley for 100k and Naysmith/ Hughes and Milsom will be off I guess. Need Jack to stay!

Watched aluko for hull and based on that he's a superior player to Hayes or Fraser

Compared to everyone else we seem ok going into next season. If we can keep our squad fit (haha) for most of the season I could see 2013/14 being very successful

 

Shame we'll have our standard 10 players injured for about 3 months

 

 

I wouldn't go that far.

 

Looking at our list there are at least 5 players there out of contract that would or should be definite first 11 picks at the moment if fit.

Aye?

 

All I know is from what I saw him produce for AFC.

And from that evidence Aluko is pish in comparison to those two.

 

If he is as good as that at Hull it just proves one thing.

That he was a complete prick who had the ability but obviously couldn't be bothered applying it when he was here.

Arsehole.

Well once we've been bought over by a wealthy Russian and can afford the 7 players you listed we will be in a good position

I fucking wish.

[ollie1903]

I fucking wish.

And if there was a God, the floppy shoes, curly wigged twat we have "goalkeeping" for us would be on it too

I agree, but you won't convince those who only remember his "attitude" at Aberdeen, much of which was down to poor management in any case.

[ollie1903]

His bad attitude is down to him having, well, a bad attitude, and being completely unprofessional. No matter how much of an arsehole his manager may or may not have been should never stop him from giving anything less than 100% when he played. He had a duty to you, me and every other mug that contributed to his over inflated wages to do so. He didn't.

That makes him a cunt, in my eyes.

But you don't dispute he is a very skilled footballer. And don't they all have over inflated wages?

[ollie1903]

I don't dispute that, no. You can have all the skill in the world but if you don't try It's not worth a jot.

That only emphasises the point that he was a "luxury" we could do without.

Holy Moly...Ex-Squaddie alert...do people actually still believe the above... Ollie rules(of) Football...Man management is the most important tool to achieve successes...in any situation let alone football...are you from the 1940's Ollie?

These days...I don't think so chief...the world and the punters in it have changed...Kids have been "fu*ked up" by Blair's Britain where no-one loses and no-one ever gets pushed too hard...it's just the way it is.

 

Ps.I remember Rico once telling me about Booth and Jess near to tears after a verbal blast from WM...You can shout and push a young laddie dragged up in the North of England pretty hard...but fanny boys from Aberdeen and surrounding who have never seen a "hard time" have to be treated the way they need to be treated...I don't envy any cu*t trying to get the best out of Aberdeen youth these days.

So what was Aluko's excuse then?

[Redstar]

He's from the midlands and from a very wealthy family

Just look at the statistics for "NEETS" (youngsters not in education, employment or training). They may never be employable due to their "attitude problems". In a similar way, the hungriness has gone from a lot of young footballers, and may be the reason why so many never make it or seek the quick buck like our recent examples like Grimmer, Fyvie and Fraser. They will always take the easy route.

 

Whatever Aluko's issues were with Aberdeen, it is obvious that those who were meant to be coaching and developing him didn't help at all. If he keeps free of injury, he could easily be an EPL star next season.

A fanny boy then?

[Redstar]

A fanny boy then?

Yes...as was being discussed...these types need more than normal from the Management team as they have no ambition or drive because it's all been handed on a plate...The boy McManus seems to be the latest to fall foul of the antiquated "philosophy" currently being peddled down Pittodrie way.

[ChutneyLove]

Andrew Shinnie would be an excellent addition to the team. Hopefully he was best mates with Jonny Hayes or something and wants to come to Pittodrie.

What's the crack with McManus??

[Patty]

From a source who was talking to Jason Brown last night said he told him he was definitely leaving in January. He however refused to say what he had lined up.

No it's not.

Not to me anyway. Or probably anyone else.

 

How do you know for a fact that the coaching was askew?

He had already developed under us, and was a useful player.

Until he spat the dummy and decided he couldn't be bothered.

[K-9]

Can't coach the basic requirements for a footballer of attitude and application.

So he just decided one day that he wouldn't be motivated at Aberdeen. How do you explain the change in attitude at Rangers and Hull City?

Coached/Managed properly and paid a decent wage
