January transfers

didn't do the team any harm at the end of last season?

Happy to loan players that help us win second place, never mind the cups either

What about if Sevco and Celtic finish 1st and 2nd, happy to loan players from Sevco to finish 3rd?

FFS Mason dinna bite pal, I'm sure bridieeater is trolling and is indeed on the windup, lets face it min. Nobody in their right mind can see any sense at all in loaning a player from any team in the same league, let alone Timothy ffs.
Well nobody aaprt from McInnes ffs, and like you say if they do go down the same road again then what the fk is the point in Aberdeen Football Club

But hey ho, apparently according to some it's all rosy and bright as another loan from Timothy might help us get second in the league.

I will be fkn raging if we take another loan from them, the Christie scenario was sheer stupidity

But it does look as if some numptees were quite happy with it ffs

SF

so if last year Hibs signed Christie and they ended up beating us to 2nd due them loaning a good player we can sit with the air of satisfaction that we ended up 4th but hey we didn't loan a Celtic player. yippee.

Id rather finish bottom six with no Tim players

I would not expect any different.

The reference to Christie is one of hindsight.
By all intensive purposes, it sounded like we were a gnats baw hair away from signing him last summer.
Only due to Celtics own abject failure in the transfer market, did they retain them as cover and even then he only featured as a last result.
To be fair to Christie, he made a telling contribution in their cup game against Hearts turning the game around has not looked back since.

But I get the thoughts on why we should not sign Celtic players, however I would caveat that with any loan from them should have a buy option at the end.

If we were to get Morgan on a years loan with an option to buy at the end of the loan, then that should be considered.

That didn't happen though and they did loan a Celtic player.

You are the most negative poster on here.

What, that I would rather be top 6 than bottom 6?
Indeed, to be more specific, I'd rather finish 2nd than bottom six

You missed the bit about using Celtic players to achieve that

That's immaterial.
You've clarified that you'd rather we won fewer points and ended up bottom 6 than use resources to secure as high a position as possible and the benefits that in doing so, brings to the club
