Out Of Contract

[Dandyesque]

Presumably we are still after a defensive or deep midfielder if Forrester as seen as being moved forward

Our interest in McGeoch would indicate as much

[Mr John]

Did anyone on here predict the Forrester signing? We all want new CMs and full backs, do we know if we're scouting anyone?

 

I've got to admit, a lot of last season's signings were surprises, but the pattern seems to be English lower league also-rans or SPFL players who aren't getting a game. Who fits that category?

 

It's the equivalent of shopping at TK Maxx. You might find a few decent items, but can never get a full outfit that matches.

Most specifically McInnes likes to target english based players who have played in Scotland.

 

you wouldn't be surprised if one of these lads turns up at Pittodrie.

 

Players available (free transfer) in england with a Scottish history:

Joe Ledley - fat chance

Alan Hutton - fat chance

Wes Hoolahan - wouldn't be a surprise

Sol Bamba - wouldn't be a surprise

Ross Wallace - likewise

Glenn Loovens - and again

Filipe Morais

Clayton Donaldson

Shane Ferguson

Matthew Kennedy - we've been in for him before

And what this tells me is that a strategy of targeting these kind of players is likely to see us signing a load of old pish.

 

Happily I don't think McInnes strategy is quite that simple (much as I've criticised our scouting). I do think we look beyond these guys from time to time and we have brought plenty to the club that didn't have any spfl experience before.

[BWG]

Ryan McLaughlin was horrific.

[Scotty_Toronto]

Signed, but still to play for us...

 

Devlin 24

 

Ferguson 18

 

Forrester 25

 

McInnes didn't really have to 'rebuild' in his second and third seasons like he had to last and this.

 

Pleased (so far) with the foresight of hoping to keep a young talented squad together (just for the sake of stability alone).

 

Not sure how a Kenny Miller would fit into that.

 

We need a shake-up of our strikers, and there's a lot to be said for experience, but I'm not seeing it (unless he could do a job by coming on after 60 -70 minutes for a season).

 

Wages would be another issue... they'd have to be weighted on performance/bonuses (if possible).

Sol Bamba is under contract until 2020 and on well over 10k a week and was in the championship team of the year so I would say that he would be a major surprise and could be put in the absolutely nae chance group.

Looks like Mbayo may be off based on his twitter post last night.

is Scott Vernon worth a shout?

extra steel to the midfield absolutely

What are you pleased with? I've not seen two of them kick a ball and other one just had his knee rebuilt?

No, but fortunately our coaching staff has.

[dazzy_deff]

 

 

 

No, but fortunately our coaching staff has.

That same coaching staff that signed stars such as Calvin zola, Gregg Wylde, Josh Parker and Stevie May. Yikes.

[Scotty_Toronto]

The very same, but for the first time we have McInnes admitting fault and being determined to put that right.

 

(On the flip side, you could have chosen to just as easily list the players they got right which on their budget is more difficult.)

[RAZOR]

I just can't share optimism over the transfers just now. Huge concerns from last season still remain the same.

 

Being pleased thus far is ultimate coocoo land material.

Being pleased (so far) with the ages of our signings and their potential to be in our starting 11 is 'coocoo land material'?

 

OK... cool.

Aside from your very obvious phallus for younger boys this evening it is clear you are most definitely on Cloud CooCoo Land.

How can you be arsed.

It's not much effort for me. I can look at a list of a 100 players and instantly know which have played in Scotland, what their position is and which Scottish clubs they played for. I'm hoping to get a life soon.

[Tord31]

THAT'S a really shite post

Fuck off Kenny your not welcome here
