Summer Signings Confirmed

[sooth_stander]

I know.

 

Believe me or don't.

 

But it WILL be confirmed, he is officially ours.

Oh I believe you. Your track record is impecable when it comes to this kinda thing.

[Crossbow]

Maybe he's signed up to paint a family friendly mural?

[tup]

Or to be the managers pet hun as he probably was lacking allies in that sense, Ryan Jack notwithstanding.

[K-9]

Done deal.

[Tommy]

Done deal.

Aye Roberto said that ages ago.

 

Great news.

[Huntlysheep]

This cunt actually signed?

[sooth_stander]

Signed, sealed and delivered. Sorted. Done deal.

[The Boofon]

Maybe he's signed up to paint a family friendly mural?

I don't trust him to deliver that.

[Dynamo]

Deal done.

[Henry]

[Foster14]

Dyron Daal.

[a don in oz]

Really good "confirmed" thread this is...

[Henry]

What if he is involved in a car crash or breaks his leg?

[Ingolfsson]

Broom cupboard pic yit?

[Dynamo]

Folk need to chill.

 

Roberto confirmed it hours ago.

From The Herald -

 

Lawrence Shankland will sign for Aberdeen in the coming days as compensation has been agreed with Queen's Park.

The 17-year-old striker scored 14 times last season.

Queen's had been wary of the move after Dundee United sought to exploit the club's amateur status to avoid paying a fee for Aidan Connolly and Andrew Robertson this summer but Aberdeen have proven far more amenable.

 

Any insights??

Seem quite highly rated - Impressive numbers for a young boy - even if it is the third division!

 

Scored against the Huns last season!

 

Apparently he'll start in the U20s next season, which should mean that one of McManus or Smith gets promoted to the first team full time.

[muttonhumper]

Still think we might be getting a FB of some sort,

 

 

I'd go for a full back who can play on either side next.

 

 

Full back comfortable on either side

 

Disnae look like we'll be getting a full back.

Nae the wie McInnes was speaking on the radio.

Sounded pretty final.

 

We'll be starting the season with Shaughnessy and Robertson at RB & LB, and we have cover for them in the event of injuries/suspensions.

[muttonhumper]

Oh, he also said we'd play with a back 4 in every game.

[Karl Fletcher]

Confirmed on official site we have signed Wylde and Shankland.

[Byrne Baby Byrne]

AT LAST!

 

Tremendous news

[Dynamo]

Nice one.

 

Was confident of this one ever since Roberto broke the news last week.

[Byrne Baby Byrne]

I like this. Because it makes Dundee United look like a bunch of cunts.

 

"As a Club would like to extend our thanks to Queens Park FC who have been a pleasure to deal with throughout negotiations. We wish them all the very best for the season ahead.

Chief Executive Duncan Fraser added. "I would like to put on record our thanks to Queens Park. Derek and the Board at Aberdeen FC feel that there is a need to recognise the contribution they have made to developing a very good youth system in recent years. To maintain that system there is a requirement to raise donations and it is only right that we make a contribution to that and continue to do so as Lawrence develops further.

"I hope this is the start of us developing stronger relationship with an excellent Club"

That is a lovely sly(ish) two fingers to Dundee United.

3 year deal for Wylde as well.

 

What the fuck has happened to my club? Its almost turned into a professional outfit overnight!

[diamondsr4ever]

I said last week I was happy with the say Mcinnes is going about his business, a keeper and another full back in the next few weeks would be excellent.

[brownie]

There is something not right here.

We are signing good players and we are now signing good youth prospects from the lower leagues.

[muttonhumper]

Great news on both fronts.

 

Equally pleased that we have identified up and coming young talent from the lower leagues as having signed up a decent attacking threat capable of making an immediate impact at first team level.

 

Welcome aboard guys.

Not quite overnight - it's taken circa 11 months to begin to get changes made...............
