Reporters in ATL saying ronnie set to return to aberdeen. Reporting in Aberdeen says Ronnie not coming back despite end of season and total lack of defenders at parent club.

Been such a dodgy deal from minute 1, probably the weirdest transfer in recent memory

I'd like to see us makes more move in the US transfer market. Ramirez looks absolutely quality. Another  striker of that ilk however with pace.

Avoid the Atlanta Utd reserve side. I'm hopeful Hernandez does return from loan as I think he could do well for us under Glass.

 

Only sign ooooooffence players not Deeeeefence.

Maybe some offensive ooooffence players 

 

please no more shitey Atlanta 1/4 backs

But get them while they are in LA not after they transfer to Europe. For me... I see Saavedra with Bolivar as an excellent example. He'll play rb, rm, cm, lm and really play well all over the pitch. 

Just go after the right guys

I would like to see a back-up striker for Ramirez, but Watt is not that guy

I would rather have Tony Watt at the club instead of the likes of Samuels. Watt can at least score.

Apparently Blackburn have agreed a deal with Hedges. Not sure how, as I thought they could not speak to him until January 1st?

Potentially agreed a deal to take him in January, his agent will no doubt have been speaking to clubs off the reocrd for months now, will no doubt get his wages tripled down there.

Good player on his day but too inconsistent for us imo (16 Goals and 19 assists in 81 games for us). Been obvious since August he wasnt going to be staying on

[Durrant Dived]

We have lost better players than Hedges. Would rather see us getting into the habit of selling assets with 1 year to go if they aren't going to sign a new deal and using the money to try and replace.

They can’t agree a January deal, can agree a summer deal. Any deal before that needs our agreement which if they won’t match our fee won’t happen

Agree. Read an article years ago where the Pachuca manager matter of factly said... we are a selling club. Own it

[The Gee Man]

Not really a selling club too many run their contracts down and we have this shite in January window about will he won’t he. Reality is he won’t

Although this is true in recent years.... the less encouraging thing is we haven't replaced any of them and have gradually got worse every year ?

Players going out of contract in the summer can start talking/negotiating with interested clubs in the previous December officially. (in practice their agent will have been doing so for months previously).

This theoretically allows for said player to officially sign a pre-contract agreement the very second that the January transfer window opens.

Anton Walkes is one player who won't be coming our way from Atlanta.

Probably because the money we have brought in has filled the covid financial loss rather than being reinvested in the squad. 

[ThomohawkKid]

Somebody said Fuchs, he would be great business. He reminds me of Kamara at Dundee.

Watt would be a decent attacking option, not exciting but would know what we’re getting and can cover a few positions.

Interesting talk about transfers from big Dave at the AGM, and getting his shit done early in January. Centre half, winger and pacey striker maybe? 

I’m assuming Hedges goes, and would need replacing. If Ferguson does go in Jan, would we need to bring someone in to replace him? If Gallagher can get his arse in gear, then surely McCrorie steps forward into that box to box midfielder role?

[ThomohawkKid]

Mcrorie is playing well at cb now after a ropey start. Would be reluctant to change his position yet again.

Glass loves McCrorie at centre half. He’ll stay where he is.

Fergie might be sold but I’d think he’d be replaced by someone out with the club.

Ojo will replace Ferguson. Glass loves Ojo.

The Ojo love in wont last too long.

I would say Ojo, McGeouch and Ferguson will all leave in the summer 

[RED_JOHN]

If Ferguson doesn’t leave in January I will be surprised. Imagine the hissy fit from his agent if we don’t accept the offer from an English team.

i think we'll only sell one player in January and both Ramsay and Hedges are probably more likely than Ferguson.

Unless somebody comes in with an outrageous bid for Ramsay he won’t be going anywhere.

Think both hedges and Ferguson will leave in January. Really hope we can get another season out of Ramsey but it’s really going to be tough if he comes back and plays like he was prior to injury, the guy is different class.
