Aye the Rat or Mr Wright would be welcomed by with open arms if we tried to bring one of them back right enough

Neither of them out of contract though 

[Hoofball]

Surely Aberdeen can’t be that desperate already that Goodwin wants Griffiths.

Thought he would be signed the day before deadline day

I've been threatening it for ages, without actually doing the deed. If we sign 10 new players (unlikely surely, although good argument we actually need more) then the 2 mentioned surely wont still be here. Utterly sick of this "team". And yes, club too. Tinpot doesn't even begin to describe us. 

Im sure they will survive Henny Penny

If it is true then its likely to be the thumb. 

He and Goodwillie are the only two that are currently playing that would cause such a reaction and there's absolutely no one going to give Goodwillie a gig now.

If you think that's bad you should catch up on the summer transfer window thread

McInnes is gone. 

MOVE ON. 

 

 

 

I have moved on. Just find it very surprising that our aims are pretty much what we had for 8 years.

Cormack is meant to be ambitious. So surely when he got rid of McInnes it was with the aim of doing more?

The only thing that's changed is that's our aspiration whereas before it was the minimum expectation

You can't realistically jump from 10th and early cup exits overnight to winning trophies with a full squad rebuild on your hands. 

We've gone way further backwards in the last 12 months and will take some time to rebuild.  Sooner we stop denying it the quicker we can get in with the job of putting it right.

When McInnes left we should have been looking for someone to take us to the next level, instead we got Glass who sent us so far back that the next level from him would be just getting into the top 6.

To add to that,apparently nothing to do with money,the player Goodwin wanted to bring in was given a big No by Cormack,didnt want him near the club....

Wonder Who.

I heard this a couple of weeks ago. It was Lafferty. Goodwin knew there'd be a reaction but hoping Cormack would give the same support he gave to signing Brown and hoping for a similar reaction from the fans once they see a guy who gives 100% and convinced he would score for us

Exactly.  If we get top 6 comfortably and are still challenging for a European spot through our league position and aren’t humiliated in the cups , that’d be sufficient progress and improvement , in my view.

Surely Goodwin wouldn't have entertained that Hun.

Goodwin should have been sacked for even suggesting we sign that rancid hun prick

McInnes was left a far better squad than this lot. This is a much bigger rebuild.

Definitely would have been a sackable offence.

[Daisy1903]

There's huns that you can sign (McRorie), huns that you canny (Lafferty) and then huns you wished you hadn't (Bates)

[dj_bollocks]

If he netted 20 in a season and banged in the winning goal for Aberdeen in a cup final and lifted his shirt to reveal a Hun shirt kissed the badge and played an invisible flute I couldn't give a fuck... As to whether he's the right type of c*nt we need, my opinion on that is I very much doubt it. I would prefer we were being linked with non Scottish players so as at least to make it appear that we are scouting elsewhere because that's going to be the danger is that you sign someone who's always wanted to play for one of them...

Pretty sure mcinnes said in his open goal that neither us or the player would entertain the move because of the history. Just sounds like more made up shite.

?‍♂️ There's absolutely nothing wrong with using "came to that conclusion" in the context.  

p.s. You should be capitalising the E in English, if you're going to slate someone's "english". 

I see you missed my sarcasm.

 

Anyway, it's ' How the fuck have you come to that conclusion?' Not came.

Came is past tense.

He is asking a question in the present, but using a verb in the past tense.

 

Hope that clears it up for you.

Surely never. If this is true we're in even bigger trouble than I thought. And Goodwin is too. I honestly think he's dead man walking already. 

[JamieMT]

If true it doesn’t bode well for the style of football we’ll likely be seeing this coming season. That aside he’ll be 35 this year and the Mulgrew incident will forever loom large. Should never be under consideration for us.

Not really, he just made the players play to their potential. He inherited a bottom 6 team just like Goodwin. Can Goodwin make them look better and we’ll be talking about the good team he inherited in a few years… doubtful

Mcinnes didn't mention whether lafferty would or wouldn't, he said that he himself knew he couldn't bring him in

Well we've failed to do this "minimum" of 3rd and into cup finals for quite a number of seasons now, so the aspiration is to get back to that level and compete in cups and for Europe. 

If you seriously think we're going to compete with Rangers and Celtic, especially next season, then you're going to be in for a shock. Aberdeen had the best chance of doing that when the Huns died and it was just Celtic to compete with, but now that both sides are earnings 10s of millions through Europe again and pulling away further financially, we've very little chance.
