Summer 2022 thread!

[Bisconti's balls]

Rogic leaving celtic can't believe he's only 29. I feel we should be trying to get him. But at 29 he'll get a good pay day abroad, maybe if brown was still here he could've been persuaded

[donsdaft]

Let’s just be thankful that Brown isn’t still here.

No doubt I’ll have plenty moans as the summer unfolds but one big rule.

No loans from Celtic or god forbid, the huns.

[Bisconti's balls]

No Timmy are realising Tommy etc

[donsdaft]

Extending loans counts as well.
Tell Montgomery to go and f’uck himself.

[pieandbovrilman]

Definitely no loans from any of the ugly sisters . Tom Rogic will get a move to a championship club for several times the wages we could offer.

I'll be pissed ot if montys loan is being extended. And Rogic will get a move to a QPR or a Blackburn.

[rico94]

Probably get slaughtered for saying this but I think we should try to get Shinnie back.

Been absolutely zero fight in the team this season,well maybe Brown was up for it when we were playing the Huns but apart from that he didn’t look interested.

Going back rarely works. Shinnie was ok, that's about it. Far too many needless fouls which led to bookings. Has he kicked on at all in his career since the Dons? Big no from me regardless. Time to look forward, not back. Hopefully another new manager search is well under way this time next week.

[Jupiter]

The best thing about the summer is that we can't lose any more games.

[rico94]

Shinnie was a lot better than being ok.Done a hell of a lot more for us than Brown ever did who seemed to get a cult following for scoring a header against the Huns.

I think Shinnie deserves a wee bit more credit than just being ok for us , he was sorely missed when he left . I do agree that going back very rarely works out though . As far as his career after us goes I’m pretty sure he was highly regarded at Derby but they had no option but to sell him /release him due to financial difficulties.

[Bisconti's balls]

Shinnie would still do a job. But we need a Hedges type mid player more than a shinnie type.

[Shetland Don]

Shinnie would still do a job. But we need a Hedges type mid player more than a shinnie type.

Shinnie did well for us, though he lacked composure at times, but he always drove the team forward with a sense of urgency which set the tone for others in the the team. He had pace on the flanks too, with McGinn and Hayes, and Rooney to knock the goals in. That team was decent without being great.

Those days are long gone - now we are completely shyte and far short of decent, unfortunately - don’t go back in for former players based on how we remember them. Every dog has its day!

[Bisconti's balls]

Chiedozie Ogbene apparently.

[neilthedon]

Chiedozie Ogbene apparently.

25 yrs old. Right Wingback. " Lightning speed ". And full Irish Internationalist. has been know to score goals.


Replacement for C. Ramsey.


Good start ? Stir in J. McGrath , coming back all humble from Wigan.
Thon other Irish boy at Smirren , on loan from Wolves ?


Now we just need to think up another Irish Striker and and another Irish Centreback ?

Did you hear the rumour re Ogbene also?

[neilthedon]

No. Just read your post .


Ticks all the boxes though,eh ?

May well be on the radar of a bunch of championship sides , with more wages to splash though ?

No. Just read your post .

Tottaly ticks all the boxes.
Well Rotherham are up to the championship so he'll probably stay there. Or like you say other championship clubs will be on for him.

[TheDeeDon]

I'm not a lover of players coming back, but would have Shinnie in a heartbeat. We need someone like him to lead the team, but very unlikely though.

[sheepcrooky]

Agreed on both points. We need a leader and someone who will drive our team on. Bar possibly Hayes, we have no leaders. Someone needs to rile up our team. Shinnie could be that man.

[sonofrgmsdad]

P&J reporting that the Dons have a 26yo Albanian (born in Germany) defensive midfielder Ylber Ramadani undergoing a medical prior to a move here.

[donsdaft]

Oh no.

It'll be Tiranarama all over again.

Cormack, tory b'astard.




edit: MTK just got relegated, I have no idea of the quality of the player.
Glad to see they are scouting Europe properly though.

[Jupiter]

I thought Cantwin only wanted players who had played for him at St Mirren.

I'd be happier if we signed some strikers instead, we don't really need more defensive midfielders

[RED_JOHN]

This is going to be like a Derek McInnes transfer window…defensive players in abundance.

I'm sure he'll turn out to be proper horsh1t, like a total wage thief........what with being foreign and all.

Having freed McGeouch and Ojo, with Ferguson obviously choking to get away, with Jenks back at Brighton, Polvara still being tested, and Barron likely at some point to suffer a loss of form typical of players of his years, I think midfield needs as much shoring-up as the rest of the squad.

Maybe that’s just me, like.

Hopefully someone will sign him from them also so we can get even more dough. We might be then able to convince one of our St.Mirren related targets to sign for The Michty.

[Bisconti's balls]

I think Ramadandy will prove to be a decent signing.

Haha no it's someone I know but he's been right about a few signings before. For instance he told me shinnie might cone back 3 days or so before there was an article about it.

I've seen similar happen in the past tho VB. Some Gadgie says something online and a few days later a lazy weegie journo writes the rumour as copy for their rag . "Look it's true !!!"

[neilthedon]

Here's one " My Postie , who's daughter trains with Leeds woman's team , told me Leeds have beaten Liverpool to signing Calvin Ramsey ". You read it here first !!!

My level of hatred to Cormack and his clowns is starting to go off the scale. Old scum players on loan, again, really?

[donsdaft]

Awe f'uck

No deals with tims or huns and certainly no f'uckin loan deals.

To think I was practically running a one man boycott with the Christie loan deal.
Now our position of fawning inferior is there for ALL to see.

[Bisconti's balls]

Liam Scales. 23 year's old. If it's a permanent signing ok but it'll be a loan! So they can **** off we that! Club is becoming so diddy.

[RED_JOHN]

What an exciting left sided central defender








No laughing at the back

[donsdaft]

I was trying to summon up some interest in the upcoming season.
That's f'ucked it though.

Bugger off somewhere else Goodwin.

[neilthedon]

Reports mention both permanent and loan signing , with option to buy.

Celtic WOULD ask for that . After all the Christie deal wirked very very well for them. So why wouldn't we accept that again ?

From our side , I'd say it's crucial that Cormack stands firm for a permanent transfer . For obvious reasons.

Now over to you Stephen Gunn. Let's see your hardcore negotiating skill.........

[Bisconti's balls]

I genuinely think the club like fu cking off the fans with the bull s**** they talk.

I'm sure this is a back up to the LCB player they were talking about who's obviously knocked us back

[Don Julio]

Controversial I know, but how about we wait to see if it’s a loan or permanent before getting our collective knickers in a twist?




Sorry, rush of blood to the head.

Granted, but it will be a loan. It worked well for them re Christie, and we will accept it unfortunately.

I'm with you. A collective deep breath required all round

[Bisconti's balls]

But the thing is it most certainly wont be a permanent deal. The Christie deal worked out perfect for them so that's the route they will want to take.

If that is an exciting player, I would dread to think what the rest will be! XD

[Red Zone]

I didn't listen to the Goodwin interview but if he did use the word exciting in conjunction with a defender signing then he was just being stupid as almost by definition fans never get excited by any defensive signing. Fans only get excited by players that will potentially score or create goals.

In our current situation I am perfectly happy with dull boring signings that can actually defend (even if that means row Z clearance defenders) just as long as we can start keeping clean sheets again as that is the foundation to actually winning games

[neilthedon]

Ditto! I can't stand the c u n t he's a lying twaaat, and that fkn hunter interview we JG where he's bigging up cormack, it's so nauseating

Here`s the thing. You don`t slag your ( fairly ) new boss off publicly
until you realise you cannot get the work done properly because of him.

Once he`s got a team on the park, and winning games , he will have more leverage.

Until then, smile at the crocodile.................

[neilthedon]

To be honest, when he said we would be excited by the signing ;

I was expecting it to be somethin akin to Jack Hendry from Bruge for 4 million. ?


( This Tic loan thing may be a big smokescreen in our ongoing negotiations with Bruge over the fee of the real deal.......)

( You heard it here first !!!



( Contact : My Postie again . He knows STUFF !! )

[neilthedon]

You could say our David Bates is an " exciting " player. Heart in mouth sort of exciting !!

[neilthedon]

Just as a balance of that viewpoint :

IF we were to manage to negotiate a loan deal with option to buy , where Celtic were OBLIGED to sell us the player at an agreed fixed price / AND we were theonly party in that deal to decide Yea or Ney. That owuld would be a good loan deal ?

( I can`t see that happening though, as Celtic can afford to play the long game with their player. Finance won`t be an issue for them. All dpends on their current future Centre Back options, eh ? One thing that could swing it , is if the player gets restless and foregoes part of his contract to get a move. Was McRorie thing like that ? )

[Mason89]

I’m not against loaning players, it just shouldn’t happen between teams in the same league. Those two c*nts in particular.

No good can come from it & it looks really, really bad

[Bisconti's balls]

Yup! He's saying the scales interest is because we coudnt agree terms with the original LCB goodwun mentioned in the hunter interview

If another loan from the Old scum is ok it just shows Cormacks ambition and its on a level with Milnes.

Milnes ambition for Aberdeen FC was very low.

I am actually in shock that Goodwin is trying to pass Scales as an exciting signing.
This particularly shows how far detached he is from the supporters and our expectations. It may have been an exciting signing at St Mirren but I am afraid I do not see it as a signing the fans can get excited about.
It is hardly a coup and slightly irked by what he thinks will get us excited. A Celtic sub !!
Nice one Jim that will shift the season tickets!!
I will give him a chance as I am not a football manager or have any experience as one but I am fearful about next season! Or surely we can’t have a worse season than the last.
What on earth has happened to our club?

[Jupiter]

This is more evidence that Cantwin is a f@cking idiot

[InversneckieDob]

1. Let's wait and see if it's a loan or a signing;
2. Let's wait and see if this is indeed the transfer in respect of which the sobriquet "exciting" was utilised;


Or is that happy-clapper talk?

Unfortunately I did watch and listen to the interview and yes can confirm he did stupidly use the phrase "fans will get excited about" on the incoming left sided defender. He also stupidly decided to tell players with crucial league fixtures still to play that they did not have a future at Aberdeen and then stupidly expected them to give their all for the club, and he stupidly still stands by that decision.
He was a stupid lazy appointment of a manager that should not be anywhere near our club, and it grim times ahead for sure.
This tim pr1ck we are being linked with IF!!!! its a loan then Oddwin should be sacked n the spot and w@nk stain Cormack should go with him, its a permanent deal then I hope to fk we are not wasting any cash on the lad, surely at best it sheould be a free transfer as he is sh!te.

we are all doomed I tell ya, doomed.
But don't panic and SF

[NaeMairNeeps]

Ah kinda want tae stick ma oar in re. loan players, but Ah fear ma info might be old!

Ye see,the norm way back in 19-oat-cake wis, the lendin' club paid the wage ..... in accordance wi' the player's contract .... but the borrowin club took care o' the player.

..... In which case, loans are a crackin good thing .... if there's a particular position/role needs filled ... and ye canna buy the right guy for the job ... yet.

But Ah gather ... and as much as Ah wish it was sh!te, that a wage share is usually agreed .... and that's far the trouble starts ;)

[RED_JOHN]

I imagine we won’t get many players in this month as it would mean paying them for absolutely no financial return. It’s not as if signing the likes of Scales is going to sell season tickets no matter how exciting he is for Jim Goodchin. July should be a better month for numbers coming in as we will be getting desperate for new players in place for the group stages of the league cup qualifiers. I am chuffed that Dave Cormack runs the show now, he has been a breath of fresh air.

We only just crept past that " Shendijka " a few years ago. Played them in Macedonia, but apparently they`re ethnic Albanians ? Backed by some milliionaire gadgie. Seen their performances in Europe since then, they`re climbing more than we are.

I`d reckon most of the Albanian team are playing in foreign Leagues and earn more than we can pay already ?

Ach, mebbes No !! I`m just too negative !!

[Donanddusted]

I get it. It's just the name of the country brings up associations of poverty.
That could be thirty years ago given my attention to former eastern block states.

I know Hungarians who like to go there on holiday because they say it's a great place.

They also are amazed how cheap it is.

Given that most Scots are amazed how cheap Hungary is then it must be cheap.

This guy we have supposed to sign was playing in Hungary though.

It's going to be a fair culture shock moving from Budapest to Aberdeen.

Proper Mannies’ Albania was allied with China rather than being part of the Warsaw Pact, both believing that the USSR and its allies were diluting Marxism-Leninism. They fell out for good in 1978.

I think the pair of pricks Alex Salmond and Kenny McAskill now own it. Salmond has a way of circumventing tax payments if we shell them some western cash.

AFC in general bud, I mean Ipswich's number 2 goalie and it looks like its only a loan we can manage, also scales will be a loan only for him to return to celtic in Jan or next summer a better player & were back in the same boat of needing a LCB.. And the fact yet again were losing out on our main targets.

[donsdaft]

Managers are probably away on holiday, even if it's just for a couple of weeks.

It's the talk of borrowing players that worries me, especially from the tims.

i'll just nae pish ma punts like you and others on here,these things take time,work permits etc

[Bisconti's balls]

Pishing punts isn't really the reason why I and some may voice concern, well maybe some do but for me it's just annoyance as we're bound to have missed out on some targets as we're just not the same attraction as we maybe once were.

Ahh never mind me I'm just a melancholy c u n t 😅

[neilthedon]

Aye , there you go.

We get the Ramsey to Liverpool deal over the line : it'll be bang half a mill on Ronan Fae Wolves , and bang another 400k here and 250k there for a couple of Goodwin's first choice boys.

Saw mentioned a loan from Wigan for McGrath. Nah nah. £200k bang.........

[57vintage]

The Edinburgh Argos Huns now being quoted as the favourites to get Connor Ronan to sign from Kevin Rowland's Wolves. I imagine on loan, since there must be doubts about their ability to find £0.5m in loose change chucked at opposition corner-kickers.

If we have £1m coming in for McKenna, and a hefty wedge upfront for Ramsay, surely there's scope for us to make KR's W's a near offer and reel him in with a non-consolidated signing-on payment to avoid holing the wage structure below the water line.

Available for consultancy on such matters to Aberdeen FC and Keith FC. Mates' rates, like.

There’s not much to comment about that hasn’t been said already.
We don’t know the player, he’s coming from a team that has just been relegated.

Good luck to the fella but he isn’t the type of signing who is going to gather a lot of interest. We need players who can bang them in so we can muster more enthusiasm. Plus the fact he isn’t a left sided central defender because those players are the new exciting ones.

Who are we realistically going to be signing that would generate much interest with our budget? For me right now Shinnie would be as good as it gets for us to sign someone to get excited about and I doubt that will happen.

We have signed a player who is unknown to most of us, but who can hopefully go on and make a name for himself with us and I hope that we have at least managed to sign a player who isn't afraid of the ball, that would be a good start.

Other clubs have had a bit of success with players from Europe, so hoping we can start finding a few too.

Welcome to Aberdeen Yiber.

A couple of strikers in would certainly generate more interest. Signing defensive players is the easier bit of the transfer business….getting good forward players take a bit more effort. Goodchin said he doesn’t want lazy type signings so I will watch this transfer window a bit more closely to see if he is true to his word. The odds are against him

Sadly nobody gives a f*** about our game and attracting players is becoming harder every year for all teams, including the bigot brothers. No manager will find it easy to sign players for any position who can be guaranteed quality at the money we are offering. Bringing through our own players, which we seem to be getting better at and scouting the European market are possibly our best options, along with loans from other clubs, preferably from outside Scotland but not to the detriment of our own youth. Also the rejects from the EPL academies, of which there are many, must be worth a shot too.

I do suspect a couple of 'lazy' signings will be heading our way as we get closer to the season kicking off as no manager was going to fix us in one window.

[donsdaft]

They never have been up till now.

A reject is a reject, no matter how high and mighty the club rejecting them is.

Eh? So a player from the best academy in the country is deemed sh1te cos he can’t break into their first team, and gets rejected?

[donsdaft]

Nobody said s'hite.

But unlikely to be good enough to play for the Dons.

Christ, it's not like we haven't tried it before.

I don't know whether part of it is that their head is still with arsenal or whatever and they think they are too good to be at Pittodrie or whether they are just the "nearly" sort, whichever team they are almost part of.

So your saying that any player binned from Citeh, Liverpool or ManU is unlikely to be good enough for the Famous?
Sweeping comment, like
It’s simple poor scouting, that had us ending up with that Citeh chump a few years back, or Alex Notman.

[donsdaft]

Are we going to start a list of absolute tossers we have had that nearly made it elsewhere.
That could be a big list.

[TheDeeDon]

We have had players on loan from clubs in England who mostly turned out to be shyte, but I can't ever recollect us signing a young lad from England after he was released by his club.

The big clubs down their sign so much players they don't know what to do with them with many binned at a young age and nobody is going to ever convince me they are all shyte.

[donsdaft]

Of course they're not all s'hite.

But most will be players who peaked at the age of 13 or failed to make it for some other reason, like a reluctance to put in the work.

There players probably won't make it at Liverpool or Cowdenbeath.

[InversneckieDob]

Barry Nicholson and Shay Logan did OK, Shinnie and Jess were at Deadco as bairns and got jettisoned.
There's nae hard and fast, some that get dumped by bigger clubs come out like Charlie Big-Spuds and make fu ck all of it, some come out with an "I'll show them" heid and kick on.
It's an art rather than a science, that one.

My own lad (who is only 10) has attracted interest from Blackpool FC. How the hell can Blackpool spot a player in our 2011’s football but no one in Scotland makes a real effort? For the record Aberdeen FC….I am biased but also a coach and haven’t seen a better player at that age. My point being that players will be missed by clubs but mostly because they don’t put in the effort.

[Bisconti's balls]

At the end of the day Steven gunn is the worst person for his job the trampy looking jakie

I bet you give him hell after a couple of bad displays.

[RED_JOHN]

I bet you give him hell after a couple of bad displays.

I got on at him after he scored a goal because he said something ridiculous. I apologised later because he isn’t normally so cocky and just told him to celebrate any way he wants from now on. He plays mostly in central midfield and he beat two players in his own half and fired a shot right into the top corner to put his team 2-1 up. He done that daft Ronaldo stance and shouted out “that’s just what I do!”. He obviously just got a buzz from scoring that goal but I said stop the cockiness and go and get another. He did score the first also…flicked the ball up and lobbed it over the defender who was coming to tackle him and goalkeeper who was scrambling back to save it. Last season I put him in an older team to try to up his game and it has worked wonders. I know I am hard to please football wise but he has reignited my love of the game.

He had better stop sulking and start to re-apply himself otherwise he’ll soon be jettisoned by Mr G. His mate Glass was sacked but Ramirez still needs to earn a salary to take care of his family whichever side of the Pond they are on. He can still score goals I’m sure but he needs good service as he’s not very mobile but I’m sure Mr G will cut him some slack if he starts to bang the goals in again. .

When I first went to watch Hungarian football, I thought it was a'right but wondered how the teams would cope against the mighty Dons.

Now we're signing players from MTK who have just been relegated.

Of course, I wish Ramadani and possibly a young centre forward all the best.
I sincerely hope that they turn out to be great signings.
I have always pushed for us to look in the central European market.

Nothing much exciting happening though is there.

I believe they are back at Cormack Park today, I very much doubt that Ramadani will be there, so no new signings at first days training.

Wrong union min. ASLEF is the drivers’ union, and they recently decided that the work/life balance to which caring capitalists XD and weaselly politicians claim to subscribe - until it’s put to the test - was more important than voluntary Sunday working and overtime. It won them a 5% wage increase. Not the union’s fault that the frachisees fail to employ enough staff to allow the 4-day week that’s a current aspiration. Drivers have difficulty in working from home. Good work, ASLEF.

The RMT’s membership covers most, but not all, other railway workers - ticket office staff, guards, barrier staff, refreshment trolley and buffet wranglers etc, and most importantly, Network Rail staff responsible for signalling, and track and infrastructure safety. If they’re taking action, the trains don’t move. They’re actually not saying they ‘don’t want the job’, as part of the dispute is about the threat to Network Rail jobs, eg on-board staff redundancies, ticket office closures and reduced opening hours - a bit like having no fuucking walk-up cash gate at Pittodrie. These workers are as innocent as you and me for inflation galloping towards 10%, and home energy bills soaring like the sitter Davie Robb missed from six yards oot against Clyde in the 1970 Scottish Cup tie.

I think £4.5 million for Ramsay, if true, is a great deal for us. Now we just need to hope they can harness that potential he clearly has and make us a bit more money further down the line.

Despite not being a lover of Liverpool FC, I wish him nothing but the best.

Now we just need to worry about spending a little of that cash and making our own first team better and hopefully we can possibly get a player on loan from Liverpool and thinking more in the Danny Ward mould than the the boy McLaughlin.

If Gunn would like to hand in his resignation and Cormack would like to step aside due to health reasons, I will personally step in and take over the reigns for the season and get this transfer window stepping up quite a few gears so we can go about our football business in a more adequate fashion.

[donsdaft]

The word "loan" does seem to be creeping into the conversation more and more.

No doubt we're all set to "swoop" before the window "slams shut"


I don't want to be pessimistic, I'll give it another week before I press the panic button.

This Norwegian guy, I hope he does really well for us, but his career so far does sound a wee bit Sam Cosgrove.

What a roller coaster that was.
Actually, it was more like driving fast without steering or brakes.

Question for fellow posters…..Rangers have made it known they are going to be keeping a close eye on my lad when his football starts up again in August, what would you do? XD

[donsdaft]

Hopefully your lad has been brought up well enough to tell them to f’uck right off.

What age is the lad and which region are you in?

[RED_JOHN]

He has other’s showing an interest so he could well have options. Pity the Dons aren’t currently an option for him as I haven’t heard of them scouting our area. I have advised him to just keep enjoying playing football and everything else will take care of itself.

You make his life hell until he chucks them.
Just think, what if he became a massive superstar for them and won them all sorts of euro trophies, leagues and cups regularly scoring and winning against the Dons... how could you live with yourself? would you happily jog along with your butcher's apron and get up to your knees etc. Vomit.
I suppose one consolation might be that you would head off to the Bears den and give us some respite from your constant negativity

Quite simple,tell the huns to f@ck off and harass Aberdeen to give him a trial.
Knowing the sh!te you post constantly your probably on the windup

If you seen him play, you would know I am certainly not on the wind up. I have had other coaches tell me that players of their team are being watched etc and in a match around a month ago a team had two of their midfielders being scouted…they didn’t get near him. Football is a simple game, it’s only the coaches who aren’t that brave that make it more complicated than necessary. I prefer the attitude of trying to out score the opposing team. I will not encourage my lad to go to a team who set up to play counter attacking football. It’s all that is wrong with the modern game as the vast majority of teams who play that way are dross.

Like Zammo should have - you just say no.

Pretty hard to play good fitba when you cant sleep at night when you realise you’ve sold out on all personal integrity - loon canna have that burden.

Look at their scum support - imagine playing for that?

Fuuckin gads…

[Shetland Don]

Best advice I can give is to stick in with his studies but to try to enjoy his football at the same time. Scouting networks cast their nets far and wide for obvious reasons. The percentage of those that actually make it is tiny. All the stars have to align to make it as a professional footballer and more beyond that to earn a decent living. It’s great to have aspirations but he should be equally aware that there are many, many other options if he doesn’t make it as a professional footballer and that statistics tell us that most don’t.

[donsdaft]

Hmmm, local press now at stage 2 of the signing process.

1/ Get all signings in by pre-season

2/ All target signings impressed* but haven't actually signed yet.

3/ Probably includes the phrase " narrowly missed out on"

* impressed with Cormack Park apparently , but most think that naming a training ground after yourself is a bit naff.

[donsdaft]

Reminds me a little of the business plan* I put together which so impressed my bank manager all those years ago.

1/ Collect underpants

2/ ?????? **

3/ Profit

Millwall allegedly offering £1.5m for Ferguson.

That’ll be laughed out of court but considering how p!sh he was last season it’s probably a fair offer.

Some apparent dons fans want us to sell him for like 400k coz there special Mongols

It’s the wifie Ross* turning in her grave.

Must be a game coming up against one of the cheeks.

That’s hardly news is it?

Nothing to write about?
Have a go at Aberdeen.

[Bisconti's balls]

Ok ok 100% 2 signings will be announced by Wed/Thu. As that was the deadline for there decisions.

[donsdaft]

Or two failures to sign.

Calvin Ramsay: Liverpool sign Aberdeen right-back for £4.2m


Ofeeshul?

[DondyDan]

F*ck me, twice on one page from the same culprit. It's E I R

[Bisconti's balls]

Fs now we lose Ramsay. Good deal I guess. The club better be announcing some good signings soon!!

[RED_JOHN]

We are supposedly looking at a right back from Tranmere….£400,000 should seal the deal. He was let go by Birmingham as they thought he wasn’t up to much. 26 year old (Josh Dacres-Cogley)
The big question is….where is this exciting left sided central defender?!

[Jussi]

If Liverpool think he's good enough for them , then they're not paying near enough.

lesser club financially , Everton , paid 3 times as much for Patterson I believe it - initially £12M

He's sitting at Lennoxtown twiddling his thumbs

I see to get full details of the deal you'll need to look at liverpools announcement as our club always keep us in the dark

...or maybe Everton paid too much? I suppose you could argue he's a few years older and
was playing regularly for the national team which might bump up the price. Rangers should be in a desperate position but people seem to think they don't have to sell their players...or that's the impression they give. Maybe we got a better sell on clause than the Huns? Might be worth more in the end. Fact is, we need the money right now or we won't have a team.

[donsdaft]

Precisely

So much for not having to sell.

If we’d taken this to the wire then we were f’ucked.

The Ferguson money can pay for the extra couple of players at the last minute.

But £1.5m would be an insult, as Ferguson is also a Scotland squad regular with a good amount of domestic experience under his belt. Unless he's nearly out of contract...in which case we missed our chance for a good wedge.

What do Birmingham know? They gave us good cash for Sam and sent him out to Shrewsbury, Wimbledon et al

[Bisconti's balls]

Tobias Toby has scored a goal vs molded
. must be trying to impress someone

[Bisconti's balls]

Looking at a Turkish based player. A midfielder i think

Hopefully, this time next week it'll be looking better.
