Bottom line is nobody on here has a clue what the situation is with targets. Maybe, as you say nobody on here actually has a clue what the situation is. However Goodwin said he wanted his squad in place before pre-season training started and also said a month and a half ago that our targets had been identified. I think its fair to say he'd have expected to at least have some new players on board by now. Link to comment

I have no doubts we'll have some players in by then and hopefully they'll be of a decent standard. Link to comment

Had we done that, and brought in someone not so solid , we’d have been criticised for selling, at the time, one of the best keepers in the league.Imagine the meltdown had we sold Lewis and brought in a Nicky Walker!

Ando Posted June 20, 2022 Share Posted June 20, 2022 Just wondering what the required level of pantaloon-moistening and crib-soiling is for the day/night ahead? One thing I'm sure of, is that when I lay gasping for my final breaths on my deathbed in decades to come (or possibly hours, if I continue to read the soul-crushing Rumour Mill thread on the internet's AFC Chat forum), I'll fondly reminisce upon the early summer of 2022, when a small, disparate group of anxious Northern European internet posters with inadequate bladder control collectively lost their urine content over the apparent non-purchase of lower-league ball-kickers they'd never heard of before. If it turns out Gorgeous Jim and his not-very-merry, almost-band of be-tanned, impressively-teethed overlords and underlings make a surprisingly-decent fist of the start of Season 119 of "Aberdeen Soccerball Club: A Pointless Neverending Story", one can only imagine the sheer, utter pointlessness of the collective urethra fluids expelled unto said befouled breeks-&-bedding during said period 3 Link to comment

Folk are far too interested in what individual players may or may not be earning these days and what we should be paying to or for each player. And nothing seems to excite people more than an article linking a club with one of our players. Seems everything not nailed down should be sold to the highest bidder as soon as someone shows an interest. It's verging on unhealthy sometimes. Folk care more about the number of pounds in the club's bank account than the number of points we've earned on the park. 2 Link to comment
Yerdas Selzavon Posted June 20, 2022 Share Posted June 20, 2022 Scott Baxter is at pittodrie today so theres at least a high likelihood of a new kit being revealed imminently. Maybe the player modelling it will be a new face? Link to comment

I'm confident however something will happen this week though, it has to surely? 1 Link to comment

Dave Bus Posted June 20, 2022 Share Posted June 20, 2022 Cormack categorically said last summer that he won’t pay 500k for any player with 12 months left on their contract. If he spends 400k on this league two no mark when he wasn’t willing to do so with McGrath who’d just scored 16 goals in a season, then serious questions have to be asked about the clubs decision marking.

I remember sitting in a cafe one dark, miserable, freezing cold, pishing rain afternoon in January 1995, they had the radio on and it announced that Andy Cole had been bought by Man Utd for 7 million quid. 7 fuckin million. Blew my tiny, parochial mind at the time. Didn't help that AFC were fucking shite at the time and heading for a relegation play-off with Dun-cunting-fermline, despite having players that would probably win the league by a country mile these days. Ah well, at least we inexplicably got £2m for Sam cunting Cosgrove. Every cloud n'that ? Link to comment
