Nisbet is really good even when he doesn't score. Link up in and around the box/hold up play is brilliant. 
 

Think he'll easy score a move to England. 

Hibs fans I know think he’s pish. A bit of a Cosgrove patch last season. 
 

i hardly seen him so can’t really comment…. But I will anyway… he’s shite!

If we can’t get the Afghan’s to move to Wick, no chance we are getting half of Portugal to move to Aberdeen.

More chance of getting a Portuguese guy to Aberdeen than anyone to wick

I only put a few players from the Portuguese league that I know who I think would add a lot if they were hired.
Apart from Murillo, Sauer and Morita all the others weren't too expensive.

[RED_JOHN]

I don’t think Darren Mowbray was signed because of his knowledge of the Portuguese league. A few loans from English football will be our way forward until Cormack realises this is not working.

[BonnieDon]

Zander Clark is out of contract at the end of the season. The centre back Stuart Findlay is apparently available in January. 

[RED_JOHN]

Zander Clark….not sure about him. Looks too much of a weirdo for my liking plus the fact he is overrated. Findlay is along the same lines. 
I would like to see us try the foreign markets to add a bit more attacking flair to the team. Once Devlin is fit, the defence will be good to go.

Retard about a week back had sevco interested in Clark to replace McGregor for next season. And Findlay, who apparently found it difficult to get a game in the States, to be Hibs bound. Likely a pile of shite 

FWIW I'd happily take both of them, although if we give Consi another year's contract there won't really be space for Findlay

As much as I love Considine I think this will be his last season and we should be looking for a long term replacement. Devlin looks set to leave in January too.

That would leave us with McCrorie, Bates and Gallagher at the end of the season. Findlay is a very capable centre back (left sided) however I'd rather we went for Jamie Hamilton again.

Considine will get another 12 months.

Whether it’s merited or a sympathy contract, time will tell.

If Glass sanctions a contract for Devlin, Considine is a stick on to get one, assuming he recovers fully from his ACL injury.

Good comparison with Devlin. Considine will be good for a 1 or 2 yr deal with a transition on to the youth coaching staff.

[RED_JOHN]

Let’s hope there is some great signings over the transfer window, some injured players retire and a lot of the dud squad members shown the door.

Surely Devlin cant get a new deal? He was given a short term deal to prove his fitness and hasn't played a game, only was back in training a few ago was he not?
As for Considine can see him getting one more season then will take up a role similar to Cerny in the youth set-up, think he already does some coaching at u14 does he not?

Aye. I think a year's extension coupled with a coaching role is more or less nailed on for Consi.  Glass certainly intimated the former the other week.

Get Mikey Devlin moved into hospice care and off the wage bill,  McGinn into a retirement home, Gurr on a plane back to Atlanta, and Kennedy in a taxi to the Championship side of his choosing. 

 

Can't argue with any of this.

[sooth_stander]

Seems like we are definetly in for Tony Watt.

Not sure how I'd feel about that. We already have his type of player covered (Ramirez) and whilst you always need depth, a more pacier striker would be my preference.

PLZ Soccer at 4pm. Yeah, I know the guy Peter Martin is a fat erse but he is very well connected and his sources are usually solid.

Said us and Dundee are “sniffing”.

This is his first consistent season.

He’s 28 in 3 weeks. 

I’d have reservations. On this seasons form, I’d have no problem. 
But that’s the first season I’d say that.

Given he has found a “home” in Lanarkshire, I think he’d prefer to dwell there a bit longer, even if we would double his wages.

Last big contract for him, though. He’ll have several suitors, however 

[aberdeen1970]

Was there a particular reason he was training with us before? 

Connections to the city or to McInnes?

[Hagi's pubic hair]

It's a no from me, and poor sourcing of players by our DoF is this is true.

Not as poor as Samuels was, which is his first contribution allegedly. 

[aberdeen1970]

Aye there's a lot of expectation being placed on Mowbray. 

Hopefully he's got better than Samuels up his sleeve.

Folk have been saying that for 10 seasons. He will never leave. He'll be here when he's 45 and still be our best defender

[BonnieDon]

Tony Watt, Jeandro Fuchs, Zander Clark, Stuart Findlay, Jamie Hamilton are all options but are they really that much better than what we've already got?

I certainly feel we could improve on the options we have on the bench.

Like others have said, Mowbray has a fair amount of expectation weighing on him. I'm hopeful that he can unravel a few hidden gems for us.

[RED_JOHN]

I want a different approach to our signings over the January transfer window. The names mentioned by BonnieDon above hardly get me excited at all. Let’s try other countries and see if we can unravel a gem somewhere. Someone that will get our bums off our seats when they have the ball….someone all the other teams in the league will be panicking at when they know his name is on our team sheet. 
Have we the ability to find such a player?
