Someone had to take over your role of doom and gloom merchant since you went from one of the biggest pant pishers to biggest happy clappers in one week.

Yes

Are we. Yesterday when we signed roberts the club said he was an attacking midfielder. Is that not ronans position.

Don't think you can compare Ronan and Roberts. 2 different types of player. Ronan for me is more in the McLean mould. Roberts either a winger/number 10.

For sure Roberts looks like a rival for Besuijen/Kennedy. E.g. McLennan replacement

Ronan is more of a genuine midfielder.

Boro fan here (been living in Aberdeen since 1982). Coulson is a decent signing, decent enough defensively but excellent going forward. Better in wing back or on the right hand side of the 3 in a 4231 formation. Can also play behind the striker.

Given his chance under Woodgate but then got unlucky with injuries and Warnock didn't fancy him and he's fallen behind under WiIder as we have better options there.

Could prove to be a shrewd bit of business for the Dons, was touted for a big move to Newcastle not long ago before the injuries.

Will certainly chip in with a few goals if he's given a decent run in the team. Definitely more David Robertson than Colin Woodthorpe.

Hi Hayden, welcome to the team. I hope your better than when you were at st mirren ????

I'm going to make a sweeping generalisation about the players we have signed from down south this window.  That means I don't care or want to hear about specific individuals that don't exactly fit this statement.

In general, the signings have been of lower end Championship/top end League 1 standard, whereas in previous seasons they were bottom end League 1/top end League 2.  In other words, theoretically we have stepped up a gear or two in the level of quality of players we have signed over previous seasons.

'Patter' is weegie, so that explains a lot.

Coulson is here, he trained today so it will be announced later, other position I'm unsure it could be a central defender if Bates goes, it might be a striker is Ramirez leaves or another keeper with Joe going.

The other one is a winger.

You couldn't just +1 me and move on.  You had to bring up a player we've all been trying to forget.

[TerryMcDermott]

Hell of baptism of fire coming up for a brand new team and not having Scales available is pretty terifuinh considering where we’re going but there’s quality in the line up.

 

we don’t know the players, but either does Postakangeroodown so…..you just never know.

The Weegia melt down if we get so much as a point would be bedlam. And I’ve already put my Bead Rattler mates here in New Orleans on notice to just turn their phones off if we win cause it’ll save us all a lot of trouble.

As one could imagine, there’s fair amount of beads tits and beers all getting rattled. I used to love it. Always a great day. My Everton daft mate used to throw the best party and he lived in the quarter but folk get older and honestly fuck that now. Add in the fact that the quarter is a bullet fest right now and it’s best to steer clear.

Sounds like your best days are behind you, Terence

Must have felt like the old days in Pitmedden ?

[TerryMcDermott]

If we wrap this transfer window with Ronan then happy days. Pretty delighted the Diets didn’t get the boy Anderson from Newcastle. What a player.

I think you will probably find apart from the 3 foreign lads we are shopping in the same market as before maybe even slightly below than before 

[BaaBaaRedSheep]

Jeepers me.

Plenty on here would say Ronaldo was too old if we signed him, or Messi was too small.

I am from an era that remembers when Fergie went to Dick Donald asking for money to sign a player and was told to work with the players he already had. That worked out well if I recall. 

I firmly believe that JG is beginning to build a balanced squad, some players of which will probably do very well and be sold at a handsome profit. 

In other words Aberdeen will be famous again, starting with a much better performance on the field this season.

Stand Free and COYR.

I'd have to agree.

The turnaround we've seen in one transfer window is pretty insane. Obviously all of these signings aren't going to be winners but imagine the position we could be this time next year?

I know this optimism is going to bite me in the arse but I can't help it.

[Bournemouth Gee]

Crap transfer window. We're getting relegated

That's what I thought. The poster got it the wrong way round.

Not criticising the recruitment though as it comes across like we've got a clear strategy and more focus placed on scouting. Guess we'll see over the season. 

I'm confident we'll have a much better season than last though

Forget Shayden. I see Mikey Johnston is to be loaned out from Celtic. Hope its him just for the complete melt downs it would cause ?

Well afc has taken in about £7.5 million from the sales of Ferguson and Ramsay.They have spent maybe £1.5 million so I fail to see how Cormack has opened his wallet?

When was the last non glasgow club to spend that much in a window.  Considering he also had to buyout bad glass contracts.  Not saying he could have  not spent more but be happy he backed the new manager.
