Van de Veen

[Dons Daft]

It seems he is unsettled in Holland so I really hope we try to get him. A proven prolific goal scorer in the spl, target man and someone who I have always believed would be a huge asset to the side. We need goals now particularly given our precarious league position. Ok we will have to wait till January but I think he would be worth waiting for.

[DD1903]

We could have Haaland in our team and we'd struggle to score goals, given how pish poor the tactics are

[Durrant Dived]

He's nearly 33. The only way we should even slightly be looking at him is if it's a loan because one of our strikers is off is January. No permanent deal and to see us through to summer recruitment. 

Ps his name is Van Veen no De.

[DD1903]

Just to also add…he’s not very good.

We have plenty of goalscoring threats, just apparently don't know how to use them

I think it’s actually just Van Veen

Fuck him and fuck Groningen.

Like the new guy Gueye you mean? Looks a complete waste of money.

[Zeus]

Aye we're short on strikers right enough.

In the 12 minutes you've seen him?

Miovski, Duk, Gueye, Sokler, McGrath, Vinnie, Clarkson, Polvara all capable of scoring goals if given the chance

You got your username ALMOST right

The same guy nearly everyone on here has called an absolute donkey/cart horse etc?

Gueye has been a bizarre signing. As a club, we cannot afford to have a £500,000 signing sitting on the bench. 

The thing here though is who the fuck recommended him to AFC when evidently the lad has been struggling for any decent form over the last 2 years?

A swap deal with Groningen in January for van Veen, with Gueye going in the opposite direction, would be the best outcome for all concerned. 

[Kincardine_Mearns_Red]

Robson does not seem to do much with the strikers he has never mind bringing in more.

[ahead on alphabet]

Mental. He'll be 33 by the time the next summer window comes round.

We aren’t a small team like Cowdenbeath or Hearts, we can spend as much as we like.

Aye, of that there is no doubt as you quite rightly say we aren't a small club (far bloody from it), but obviously AFC aren't getting any return whatsoever thus far for investing £500,000 to sign the lad.

If Miovski was to leave in January I'd have no problem with Van Veen coming on loan here for 6 months 

[DD1903]

If miovski was to go, and this guy was to come in, watch the football get really shit

Its already really shit..

[aberdeen1970]

Having a striker who can link play properly might actually improve our play 

[Simply Red]

Thought he was good at M/well. Easy have him at Pittodrie

Be amazed if we hold on to Miovski much longer.

Get rid of the guys that never get a sniff. 

Weird how Sokler doesnt get more time even against shite.

Sokler and Gueye are quite clearly here for 6 to 12 months to settle in before duk and miovski leave

It's a good strategy

Sokler has some nice touches and works hard. Needs a goal and he will be fine, even with the short minutes he gets.

Yeah he looks decent enough tbf in the glimpses we get.

Absolutely. You don't invest the sort of money we have (significant for a club of our size) unless the players have a future.

I'm a little surprised they've not played more of a role up till now, but there's definitely a succession plan in place.
