Guest Posted April 5, 2021 Share Posted April 5, 2021 Simunovic isn't realistic. Easily earning something like 15K a week. Ti fuck. Link to comment

Google is struggling to come up trumps. It did look like he was out of football and I even thought he was maybe retired? Let me know the details. Found it now. He's taking two years out of football and then returning. i agree it's unrealistic for Aberdeen and he will certainly sign on with Derek McInnes at his next club. Link to comment

Think he’s only 17 so can’t see him playing every week from now, could see him being drip fed into the team. Link to comment

Quite ironic now that he genuinely can't remember why he was sacked. Link to comment

Only problem he should have accepted his time was up before Muppet Milne gave him an extension and bumper salary increase. 2 Link to comment

Unless Atlanta send Hernandez back which could cause a problem, especially if Ramsay is deemed to be the better prospect by the management team. Link to comment

SupportmeansSUPPORT Posted April 5, 2021 Share Posted April 5, 2021 i think its very unlikely that we will go into next season with just Ramsay and Virtanen as back up. Ramsay is a very promising talent and will play a lot more but he has had a number of injury/fitness issues in the past couple of years so unless Glass plans to utilize McCrorie in defence at right back id expect someone to come in to compete with Ramsay and both would play a lot of games over the season. Nicky Devlin from Livi or Jason Naismith from county are both out of contract and shown they are very capable SPL right backs and are also much better crossers of the ball than anyone we have at present so would be ok with either. They would be relatively low cost in terms of wages and on less money than Shay was. As dire as our strikers have been this season the service into the box and standard of crossing has been horrendous so getting in full backs who can provide threat with decent balls in from fullback would really help our strikers. With Brown incoming wouldn't be shocked to see us linked with Ralston from Celtic either but would definitely prefer others. Link to comment

Maybe but I think we'll spend decent money in some key positions to get players we might not have been able to afford previously and fill the rest with young players we can develop and sell on. Much like the mls model with designated players or even similar to the model Hibs used under Mowbray when Glass was a player there. Time will tell though. Link to comment
Zeus Posted April 5, 2021 Share Posted April 5, 2021 Nae offence min but I hope we're aiming higher than all of those suggestions. Anthony Ralston is absolutely dirt. Link to comment

I think the philosophy will be to go with a youngster rather than a journeyman if we can't get a game changer for that position. The days of bringing in multiple average players for a position and hoping one will stick are over I think. Link to comment

Those signings are not going to get 15,000 season tickets. Thats the kind of signings we would have went for under Mcinnes. I am more than happy for Ramsay, Virtanen and McCrorie to be our right back options and put the £1,000-£2,000 a week we would waste on a bench warmer and put it on top of the £3000-£4000 or whatever we are willing to pay a striker to get someone of a higher standard. As I've said previously before id much rather we took in 4-6 high quality players than another 12 of mixed varieties. Nows the time to start trusting youth more and give them the platform to sink or swim. 1 Link to comment

These Full backs mentioned are all examples of the standard we need to get above. Naismith failed at Peterboro, failed at Hibs and is now being average back at Ross County. These Guys would be lazy Mcinnes type signings. I would hope the new management team will have more up there sleeve than that Link to comment
