North_Andy_Dandy Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 I’m sure I read Martindale saying that if JET was to join another British club there would be a fee involved. There’s no way we should be paying a fee for him. Also I wouldn’t be paying a fee for any of the on loan players. But that did look like the intent from Glass’s statement in the EE. Honestly can’t be fucked if our striking options are JET, Hendry & Anderson. Link to comment

Just that we have little faith in getting what we SHOULD be entitled to expect at a club like ours. The levels of ‘expectations’ has been strongly shat on for years to a level where we jizz over players like Marley Watkins (an average Caley player in all honesty) as a fantastic signing. punish folk long enough with shite ‘treats’ & they are delighted with even a meager improvement on them. expectations have been very much lowered if anything but the board will class our wishes as ‘unrealistic’ as that is what has been drip fed into the mentality from all angles since the 90’s Aye but there's folk on here saying they don't want the likes of Griffiths so the bar is high. I think expectation has never been higher for a striker for as long as I can remember. Someone to come in and spearhead the new era. It's hard to think of anyone that would satisfy everyone.

So who do you think we will get or be able to afford that’s the marquee signing ? just intrigued Link to comment
Redtaz2 Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 We did have a chance of getting nisbet and look how that’s panned out for hubs yes I didn’t think he was that good against us the other night but sellable definitely , do a job currently yes yet another who was passed on , I’m very surprised that this new era has not changed our recruitment system or staff Link to comment

No other striker that is marginally realistic would meet expectations. I’m not a football scout but I hope we are actually looking at Europe. If we are being told that we are potentially looking to speculate to accumulate that 3 strikers together are completely unacceptable. I wouldn’t of been so adverse to said strikers had cormack and Glass not given us all hope for the summer. Link to comment

McInnes will have a better knowledge of the British market than Glass. Link to comment

BonnieDon Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 According to Aldo on Aberdeen Mad, Griffiths is definitely not signing for us. Going by his comments JET and Robertson is happening. If he does sign I imagine JET will be no more then backup. He'll probably offer more then current group of strikers including Main and Cosgrove. If Hibs do sell Nisbet and sign Griffiths I'd argue that would be the best bit of business in this coming summer transfer window. Link to comment

Not that I'm advocating signing him, even for free I think he has an option in his contract to leave if it’s a team outside of the UK but that Livi have a clause to extend his contract to force a fee from a British club. That’s what I took from what he said anyway. https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/www.scotsman.com/sport/football/international/why-its-unlikely-aberdeen-will-sign-jay-emmanuel-thomas-this-summer-3236702%3famp Link to comment

I just don’t get why we would go after someone like him considering how much football he’s missed with injuries. I hope he’s not a top earner. Jet im actually not completely against if he’s a squad player. Completely against it if he’s a starter. He is the type of player that can offer something different. Link to comment

Byrne Baby Byrne Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 I’m not that offended by Clark Robertson to be honest. Cunts being playing regular in the championship. The same league we’ve lost a number of our best cunts to. a Scotland regular and an English championship regular coming in is hardly a disaster. I can’t really think of anyone better who is realistic, but would certainly be fine to sign an improvement Link to comment

Done it before with Hector, Christie, Maddison etc. Rather that than sign injury prone shite, such as Robertson Link to comment

It’s not so much he’s a hun. Its the fact he’s shite, injured a lot, and actually worse than Considine. So it looks like our four central defenders might be: Gallagher, Considine, Devlin & Robertson?

Yorston Vasey Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 I've not been a fan of the Glass appointment, trying my best to give him every opportunity to prove me wrong.. but Clark fucking Robertson is unforgivable. Considine contracted, Devlin getting an extension.. add Gallagher and then that's our central defensive options. Absolutely brutal. 2 Link to comment
