Mcinnes Signing Targets

[Dandyesque]

I suspect that our new manager will look to replicate the methodology he employed at St Johnstone in his targets over the close season.

 

He enjoyed success with Jody Morris and Michael Duberry and will probably look to other old mates from his time in the EPL.

 

So, all you have to do is cross index players aged 32-24, out of contract and who played for West Brom and whoever at the same time McInnes was there. And is looking for a final payday.

 

Any ideas who the Perma-Tanned One (Mk II) is calling next month?

[Ke1t]

Ronnie Wallwork might steal a few goals for us.

 

Russell Hoult would be a decent youth coach... seems to have a way with kids.

 

Erm...

[spamspamspam]

I seriously worry about him taking Foster back.

 

Bar that I dont actually care who he signs as long as he can get them playing football and winning games.

[tommo1903]

I think he will sign Nacho Novo and Ricky Foster.

[buchanskii]

Someone who can take decent set pieces, and a midfielder who can chip in with some goals would be a good start.

[The Boofon]

Post 5 has all of that.

[tup]

Barry Ferguson will be top of his shopping list.

[Byrne Baby Byrne]

BOB MALCOLM

[Bluto10]

you still peddling that line tup?

 

its easy to criticise when you live hunners of miles away and never attend any games.

[tup]

Scott Wilson and Greg Shields for defence.

 

Lovenkrands for flair.

 

Tom Hateley for his 2nd name.

 

Goram to replace Leighton as GK coach.

Makes sense if we get them both in on the one wage?

Foster is under contract, and Bristol City will surely want a piece of their £250k back?

Even if they asked for £50k, that would rule us out...

Hopefully!

Thankfully Foster is on £7K a week so no chance.

Even if they gave us £50k we'd still say no.

Hopefully!

No chance Foster will ever come back. Fans dont want him, he knows the fans dont want him and I think he doesnt want AFC so I wouldnt worry.

McInnes is nae daft. He's good at the old politics. He knows he gets the fans offside if he signed Foster. And we couldn't afford either the fee or his wages anyway so lets drop this Foster nonsense, eh?

[sheepiekev]

I see the manager was in the press talking about trying to get young EPL players on loan, using his contacts.

 

Do all managers at AFC from Calderwood onwards come out with this same script?

Not that I would ever be advocating the signing of this particular cunt, but its a pretty sad day when we can no longer afford Richard fucking Foster.

I noticed that too.

 

If the EE is to be believed.

Same shite peddled, different manager.

[1983]

We'd be taking a massive step back if we were to get involved with bringing in loan players to improve our first 11. I understand squad players being loanees, but, it's a complete false economy. We need to be avoiding a squad rebuild at the end of every season. Short term gains should not be entertained. We should be targeting young Scottish talent from lower divisions and combining with a few experienced heads.

Everything McInnes says is meaningless, with respect to what he's going to do.

 

I've already prejudged him to be monumentally mediocre, but by the end of the 2013-14 season we'll see if he's any good or not.

 

If he has us challenging for that mythical second spot then fair enough... if he has us where we've been since Calderwood left, grubbing around in the lower reaches of the SPL, then he'll have met my expectations of him.

 

I'm not going to pay much heed to what he says he'll do, because I'm sure he'll be talking absolute pish 99% of the time.

[MURRA]

would be good if we could get some signings from the lower divisions. might find a gem or two. utd seem to do it well

[Huntlysheep]

I think Lyle Taylor if we got him would do quite well, we need young hungry players willing to prove themselves in the SPL.

He'd cost a fee, so safe to assume you can scrub him from your list.

[ericblack4boss]

have to agree i would love to see us scout the lower divisions in Scotland for talent, there must be some gems to be had if you consider the talent we got form the lower leagues in the past Archibald, McQueen, McGhee, Strachan,

[johnstrac]

McGhee came from Newcastle Utd.

[sheepiekev]

Some fans might be worried of the Steve Paterson syndrome.

Remember some of the absolute haddies he signed?

McQuilken, Hinds, Prunty etc.

 

There are some good players.

 

The likes of Stefan Scougall at Livi or Lyle Taylor at Falkirk for example....but again, a fee is involved, so won't happen.

Very true, but he also signed Tosh & Sheerin too.

Paterson was most probably at the scotch in the cornflakes stage when the likes of Prunty and Hinds were signed...there is still good mileage to be had with a scouting system watching HL/junior games

Exactly, look at Wick Academy finding young Pickles.
