Confirmed Signings/re-Signings

[Pudgie]

We're no better than the average team that struggled along to the end of last season.

We're actually arguably worse seen as Robson is nowhere near as good as he was tail end of season (when he picked us up & carried us through) & we've now lost Anderson.

 

Goodwillie is a wasted signing if all it's done is fkd up Rooney's form.

Brown was a bench signing at best.

Taylor I am optimistic about but time will tell.

 

As a whole we're the same at very best & that SAME side has been totally figured out by all our opposition because McInnes is found wanting tactically.

 

The fact that McInnes has said he's likely not signing anyone else this window tells me he's failed this window.

This team as is will not finish second (closer to celtic either) & win another cup.

 

 

So assuming that:

Goodwillie's pish

Rooney's pish because Goodwillie's here

Robson's pish

Anderson's finished

Brown won't feature

Taylor won't make a difference

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAND

We won't make any signings

 

I'd agree and say that yes, we are probably worse off than last season.

 

But seen as most of the 7 assumptions will most likely be false, I'd say we'll be ok.

I feel your frustration but I'm glad someone else can admit it also.

 

Too many others thinking with their hearts rather than their heads & thinking we're awesome & McInnes is tactical genius

[Tord31]

One thing don't agree on is we won't finish 2nd. Bookies favourites too and rightly so we have a far better squad than most which should tell over the season. We should be getting AT LEAST around the same points again which will be in or around 2nd come the last game.

As Tord said, I disagree that we won't finish second. Even totally without Robson & Anderson I think the squad is good enough to get second.

Why should we?

 

Teams know how to play against McInnes now. He has no plan B & his plan A just will not accumulate as many points this time around.

 

Time to cash in on him whilst he's still popular & before he's completely found out.

 

Adams is available now, so we wouldn't be totally fkd

Why should we? Mainly squad size - look at Motherwell right now four injuries and there fucked. We can absorb a few injuries at a time.

 

On saturday we were missing anderson, flood and monakana. Hayes went off injured and Shankland (who would get a game at plenty spl clubs) was in the stand.

[The Boofon]

Hopefully we get a "Fuck her right in the pussy" comment from someone on Sky Sports News today.

 

[fine-n-dandy]

Time will show i'm right i'm afraid to say.

 

Sorry. I know that's hard to accept but that's how it is.

If you say so. Fair do's if your gonna shout United for 2nd. but if it's Motherwell, Caley or Hamilton then LOL

Motherwell's bubble has burst. I still think they will make top six but not much better.

Dundee will finish higher than Well.

Utd are the main team for second imo, as Caley will soon tail off.

 

We will be lucky to stay anywhere near Utd imo unless we get in some decent improvements in this window & McInnes learns how to mix things up a little

[Pudgie]

Have you hijacked Jimmy's tactical tombola and are using it for opinions about Aberdeen? Just throw in a heap of negative shite and post about whichever one you pick out?

Ok we're better than last season then are we?

We've improved & McInnes has other tactics to counter teams that sit in against us & his substitutions are always good & at the right time.

 

Now I'm convinced

That is the worst bit of fishing that's ever been in this site.

[fine-n-dandy]

Pretty sure even I have a few better ones that that one floating around on here.

 

Adams wouldn't be that bad. at least he signs first team players in transfer windows.

[DD1903]

Shame they've not been that good...

[Guest findlay_1903]

Fine-n-dandy is a complete gluepot lads.

[TwoStars]

Worst transfer window in McInnes's time as manager.

 

That includes when he signed Ricky Foster.

Very strange one.

 

Maybe he has complete confidence in Shankland and Wright to change the season because other them two I can't see anything else worthy of a shout.

[super_al]

Fine-n-dandy is a complete gluepot lads.

Some of his points are valid.

[Redstar]

Some of his points are valid.

Most of his points are valid...some on here live in la-la land when it comes to AFC...Clangers is great...Smith will break thru...you know the drill chief...

[CalgaryDon]

 

 

Lost no-one of any note

 

Gained better competition than what we had in every area.

 

Not exactly a disaster as we never signed any Ricky Fosters at all.

 

I think you're overreacting (just for a change)

Aberdeen should have taken advantage of this transfer window and really strengthened. Ideal time considering Hearts, Hibs, The Rangers are all in the championship along with the fact that Motherwell/ St Johnstone have both lost key players to their squad. We clearly require a left back and indications are that once Robertson has fully recovered from his injury, he'll be filling that position. Utd have strengthened their side (mainly defence) and would be favourites for 2nd for me.

 

We have retained our first team squad which is why there is not such an urgency in transfer activity.

[rumpus]

FnD is second only to Tup in his views regarding AFC.

[Tord31]

While certainly not being as pessimistic as some posters around here have to say I am very disappointed we didnt move for a left back this summer or strengthen any first pick position. Yes we signed Logan which is great but other than that subs only

 

Other than Logan every other signing weve made id rather we'd brought in a left back. Curious decison for Mcinnes to not take one at all as presumably plenty offers from england with low contribution to wages

[fine-n-dandy]

Someone that sees sense

[barnared]

I might be in a minority but im honestly not that bothered that we didnt bring any loaners in.

 

I think we have a strong squad and if we have injuries we bring in players from the under 20s to cover.

[fine-n-dandy]

Right now I'd be happy to let McInnes go for Shinnie

[barnared]

And Robertson will be a good left back

 

My opinion

[fine-n-dandy]

And Robertson will be a good left back

 

My opinion

Not for Aberdeen he won't

[dave_min]

And Robertson will be a good left back

 

My opinion

 

Correct.

 

That's why Hull signed him.

[barnared]

Not for Aberdeen he won't

I dont think hes moving....not this window
