January Transfer Window 😂

[sooth_stander]

Forrest in, Shady Mo out? Hayes moves to new coaching setup?

Geez we already have a player who runs the ball out of play and can’t cross it. 

James Forrest even at 32 or whatever would be the most creative player in our unbalanced squad. 1 maybe 2 year deal wouldn't be the worst bit of business and I believe Celtic want rid.

Can't see us letting Morris go if Duk is leaving.

Precisely, we need at least one speedy lad that we can bring on when 2 goals down

36 years old!! Possibly another that’s played under Warnock at some point. Mind you the list is plentiful. 

It's a wind up. There's nothing anywhere about it 😂

Would be mad to sell Duk with a new manager incoming at some point.

[Johnnyred1]

It's like groundhog day from last year. No manager and no clue what's going on inside Pittodrie. Most people having a wee guess or two. Shows there are very few leaks from those in the know.

for the last 6 minutes

[WesthillWanderersFC]

So, to sum up our January window:

- We don’t sack our incompetent manager at the winter break to give our new manager a couple of weeks to tweak the squad

- We sack our incompetent manager the day before the window shuts, not giving us time to source a new manager & use the transfer window.

- We’re allegedly on the verge of selling one of our best assets with hours of the window left. 
And possibly no replacement in. 

- The only player we’ve brought in is a bench warmer whom Robson wanted, the same Robson that was fired a few days after signing him.

What a fucking shambles we are.

Way to go, Messrs Cormack & Gunn

Classic Dons. Punting Duk to a Spanish team late on with no replacement.

[Don_Corleone]

Starting to get a horrible feeling that at least one of Duk, Miovski and Barron is going to go before the window closes, and we're going to sign a couple of useless players on loan to try and replace them. 

[aberdeen1970]

If we lose our better players today and we dint get replacements in the focus and ire will be firmly on the senior leadership team. 

Would be surprised if they let that happen the day after the manager goes. 

They are incompetent but surely not completely stupid.

Well if the player has had enough and who can blame him, then it's probably best to let him go.

Then again, instead of selling him on the cheap, why not convince him to stay and embrace the new ambience that will circulate around the team once the new manager arrives. (No clue who that will be, by the way)

That sounds reasonable but pity his market value has nose dived

In fairness he wanted to go in the summer, wouldn’t blame this on anyone.

Is Forrest at Cormack Park?

Cardiff are apparently in for James Forrest

That would, I presume, put us out the running

Would love to be a fly on the wall at Cormack Park/Pittodrie today. Here's me naively thinking that by punting Robson, we'd actually have a plan and be able to appoint a successor within 24 hours.

What a laugh.

Unless wheels are already in motion, or Duk himself  just wants to gtfo... which would be understandable. 

But with an caretaker manager, would that manager have the power to make decisions regarding current or future transfers or player movements in or out?

Cormack has pretty much fucked us with his incompetence and indecision. 

Again.

We are very poorly run, from the top down.

January has made that patently obvious.

The lack of organised thinking & rationale is mind blowing.

Quick check shows that Forrest's Celtic contract runs out summer 2025. Just before he turns 34.

We do have an obvious need for a winger and although his game time this season has been limited he's probably still good enough for a place in any team in the SPL outwith Celtic (or sevco of course though that would never happen anyway). I'd rather just have him on loan till the summer when our new manager can then source a player of his own choosing but if Celtic are insisting on him leaving for the full term of what's left on his contract, so long as they are covering a minimum of 66% of his due wages I could probably live with it

That’s what’s running AFC a comedy team, who’ve been taking the piss and lying to the supporters for months, and letting one of the GOONS manage the team.
