THis new Head of Recruitment will be working over time finding players No way should we be recruiting a whole new squad (again). A decent manager can turn this around without a cut and run on the whole squad. Link to comment

Goalkeeper and a good organiser in at centre half to partner Ruby will see instant improvement and increased confidence throughout the squad. A ball winning midfielder and a decent winger or two.

Think we'll have to: Roos, Gartenmann away at end of season for sure, likely to be Duk, Barron and MIovski too Personally struggle to see any real quality left in that squad (bar CLarkson and McGrath maybe, and Clarkson hasn't been anywhere near as impactful as we'd have hoped Link to comment

Both are very talented midfielders who have been badly managed. Link to comment

Byrne Baby Byrne Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 1 minute ago, RDS said: Hardly a surprise but Hayes said retirement imminent at Pittodrie event with McGinn and him tonight Fair to say it’s a bit overdue. Probably only had a couple seasons in him when he came back, but don’t think it’s been breaking the bank. some player in his first stint. Surprised he didn’t get more caps for Ireland between 2014 & 17 1 Link to comment

He helps coach the U16s and has been helping out Leven as was on one of his social media accounts about how he'd enjoyed being other side of the white line gaining experience last two games so reckon he'll continue being here with youth although individual age group coaches in Academy only part time unless he got a step up to u18s Link to comment
RDS Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 The Dandy Dons of Aberdeen Facebook page could at least give @Tord31 a credit mention on latest copy and paste from here of out of contract list. Who is the phantom plagiarist in our midst? 1 Link to comment

Now we know that isn’t true, Cormack find the January transfer window to be very easy. He sits about doing fuck all for the first four weeks and then makes a couple of signings in the last week. 1 Link to comment

Dandyesque Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 On 3/16/2024 at 9:44 AM, slippers said: Can’t get rid of everyone unfortunately. I’d keep the 1s in bold italic then move the rest on if possible. That’s 13 boys meaning we need to sign around 10. Unfortunately we won’t get rid of half that’s shite above and going to lose bojan and probably duk which leaves us with 11. I wouldn't be averse to giving Hoilett an extra year at this point. He's not got pace, but he's at least clever and could maybe pass on a few tips and a bit of experience. I would hope he wouldn't be a first pick, but that would mean signing 2 players better than him. I can't see that happening based on recent evidence. Link to comment
