    This is already more than our recent years on average.
    You may point to GMS, Arnason and May from last year, but that was post Hayes transfer and this year is still a higher outgoing in nett terms.
    We have spent £200k on Forrester, Ferguson still to be determined. We didn’t spend anything on Marquis as he won’t be coming to Aberdeen. My tally at the moment equals £200k.
    DNA money (Milne’s own words) £600k, Arnason World Cup appearance money, Kenny McLean transfer fee, Increased transfer budget from last year and you still don’t think you are getting short changed?
    Ferguson will most likely cost us approximately £150k so I will give you that.

    You are not getting conned then as you expect nothing.
    Some DNAers I would imagine expected the club to be more tooled up for the transfer market with their contributions.

    You quote £600k, but that money is not in the bank.

    This leaves net proceeds of just over £600,000 that will come in over the course of 12 months to be used by the football operation.

    Although some people paid up front for their membership, the vast majority of members pay it as a subscription on a monthly basis, so it’s important for fans to appreciate that the bulk of the money will come in over a 12-month period.
    Also worth bearing in mind
    So far, the net proceeds raised will enable circa £50,000 each month and although we acknowledge what the fans are suggesting, because of strengthening competition in the league, and the importance of keeping our momentum going, we have decided this year to commit around 80% towards the first team, with the balance on youth development and continuing to build a high-performance environment.

    The Polish Dom Ball.
    Plays Centre half or centre mid.
    Hearts fan I know said he was slow as f**k & couldn’t pass.

    Shall I get the bunting out?

    Money collected so far from ĎNA isn't going to provide much "tooling up" because it's just started. Hopefully over time as the funds accumulate then it will be of greater benefit. What is your beef about it anyway? How is a large group of fans putting money into the club's coffers a bad thing? Do you want us to depend solely on Milne or a.n. other?

    Don’t remember much about him to be fair, not the most exciting by all accounts but in his defense he was thrown into a Cathro team who were a shambles, as usual al give him a chance. Just turned 24 and quite a few top league appearances in polish top division can play cb and rb

    I’d say the more that invest in the club, the better.

    He was in when Neilson was in charge.
    20 games in 18 months.
    Didn’t play a whole game in 6 months after Hearts punted him.

    This is going some, but I think I’d rather we re-signed Dom Ball,,,but if it’s the defensive cover and a perennial sub then so be it, we were unlikely to sign a player to go into the back 4 starting line up as that’s more or less obviously going to be Logan Dev McK & Con

    Our tooling up has been taken to a new level
