A new low that's for sure.

I really really hate to say it, but I scanned through a similar thread on the diet’s forum and it actually reads as normal discussion and debate. Far cry from this garbage.
 

I know, I need to have a serious word with myself for venturing on there but there was a genuine reason. Honest.

Confirmed that Shinnie been told he can leave Wigan for free in summer.

 

[frankie_mac's_4]

Shinnie - a solid left back option for a couple of years? I'm nae convinced he's at his most useful in midfield, and I'm nae convinced Mackenzie is at his most useful at left back either

Wouldn’t be completely against it but would prefer we looked elsewhere and hope we can uncover someone a bit younger.

Well worth considering,depends who else is coming and going..

Only question is why is he not getting a game for Wigan?

Because he's past it.

Tbf Kerr not played every game, nor Mcgrath. Their new owners are obviously going to chuck money at it seen as they went up.

Yeah quite surprised at his lack of involvement. 
 

Ticks a lot of boxes for Goodwin too in terms of what he wants from a player. 

[Zorba]

To be honest maybe a bit lazy but i reckon Fleetwood very possible for Shinnie. Same area of England as Wigan, Brown knows him well as one of only players up here to put it on him regularly and they could probably offer higher wages than us.

If he comes back to Scotland imagine it would be to us if JG wanted him. Still can't see Hearts/HIbs spending more on wages than us even with Hearts extra £3million from Europe.

Think Kerr was playing regularly towards end of season. McGrath barely had a sniff.

At 30?

There's never been question marks over his fitness and nae injury history to speak of

I’d prefer to stay away from the McGrath, shinnie, Ronan kind of signings. Lazy as Jim would call It. Would take Ronan if it was a permanent I think. But not seen a great from Ronan or McGrath that thinks they would be stand outs for us.

Yeah Ronan got another 2 years on contract at Wolves. Only makes sense if we can get a similar type of deal of a loan with option to buy like Austin Samuels.

If Aberdeen sign nobody at all they’ll have had a better transfer window than AFC-Chat. 2022 must be the worst intake ever and it’s not even the school holidays yet.

Makes you realise why AFC got rid of the original AFC Chat forum off the official website back in the day ?

[ThomohawkKid]

Shinnie was Derby’s POTY until he left, didn’t get a game at Wigan as they are ready had a settled team that was flying.

He would be a vast improvement for us at the moment.

Aye a few off the bench though. He only made 23 appearances all season. League one has 46 games alone.

Also doesn’t fit the age bracket either as Goodwin said he wants players aged between 24 and 28. Dunne will be 30 in February 

He didn’t say he would ONLY Sign players in that age bracket though, just that that is his IDEAL preference/target range.

He also said he loves Hayes & thinks he has at least another two seasons left in him at this level & that he is consistently in the top performance levels on speed/fitness tests.

Would imagine he would be willing to go outwith his preferred age brackets for certain areas (especially central  defensively) for better experience/consistency 

 

I am in no way saying Dunne fits this deviation from preference though

Did say the team has to many players in their 30s tho. 
 

I don’t think Aberdeen are looking at Dunne anymore 

[Helmet]

We need quite a few bodies in the door so I wouldn't be upset if we signed a few of Ronan, McGrath, Shinnie and even Dunne (not for £350k though and not as our first choice LCB)

We need a decent squad of capable players and of the 17 we have on the books at the moment, quite a few are below the standard we need.

Pretty much, I joined around then. Web Archive brings this up from 2001. Old-skool.

[aberdeen1970]

Shinnie on a free for a couple of years is an absolute no brainer in our current predicament
