Thank fuck someone at Aberdeen FC finally has a laptop. Well, it seems to have been for Stephen Glass, because despite said interconnected world our previous manager managed to assemble a team so bad that relegation became an actual possibility. I feel that actually standing pitchside and watching a guy play football is superior to watching his highlights reel on Youtube, tbh. Link to comment

No doubt Goodwin is pulling out signings we've never heard of from afar but are they inspired or are we getting them from a lucky bag? I'm reserving judgement for now. Not sure it is a reserve league. But anyway guys who play in leagues like the Portuguese 2nd tier or even the dutch 2nd tier still go for millions if they bang in goals. Look at the guy who scored for fun in the Dutch Eerstedivisie. He went for over €2m. Was linked with The Rangers. We can't go out and sign the top scorers from those leagues so we have to look at the guys who fit the mould that Goodwin wants. Like this guy and Miovski. We all (well most of us) like the look of Miovski but his stats weren't much better than Lopes. 1 Link to comment

Jetsetter. It's what he's paid for in fairness so i'd like to think our success rate will be fine this season. Not every signing will work out but provided we don't sign 10 then bin 9 next summer then it's all good ? Link to comment

Mowbray has been scouting in 16 countries since he was appointed if you’d been paying attention. So I’d say there’s a good chance he’s been scouted. Link to comment

Definitely. It's a cliché but what players do off the ball is just as important as on the ball. Like JET during the Dundee Utd game at the very start of last season, sauntering out after HT from the dugout as the slowest, least interested man ever. You'd never see that on a highlights reel but it told you everything you needed to know about JET. Link to comment

Really? How did they know what money would come in/ what the budget would be?
