To only have 3 in at this stage with Europe only two weeks away is not good enough. After all, the club always tells us how allegedly important Europe is to them, and we all know for definite what a financial game changer it could be for the club yet we’re throwing it away for another year - EPL opposition or not.

Any signings we make now have missed a big chunk of pre season and time to integrate into the squad. Good excuse for McInnes though if we have a poor start.

The current situation is a joke. Having to cancel friendlies we need to be playing for sharpness due to injuries to a paper thin squad is a joke. Frankly, that’s the sort of tin pot Mickey Mouse s’hite I’d associate with Sevco, not a proper football club.

Even looking at s’hite like Nowak is a joke.

DNA? 😂😂😂

My pants are entirely dry, but are singularly unimpressed by the whole thing so far.
Just another one on to agree with this very fair assessment.

It looks like we were hanging our hat on McGeough and didn't have any back up plan.

As alluded to above, it's not just the lack of signings at this stage that annoys me, it's the fact that even if we do bring guys in between now and the Burnley tie they will not be match fit - this despite us having all summer to get our house in order, and indeed since January to sign players on pre-contracts.

I watched the Siroki game last year at Pittodrie and the players were simply not fit. We were fortunate to escape with 1-1 and lucky we produced some quality goals in Bosnia. If we adopt the same approach - and unfortunately it appears we are doing so, whether willingly or not - against Burnley, we will be heavily beaten.

I don't expect us to beat Burnley over two legs - I DO expect us to give them a game and try to win the tie. We're unprepared and preparing to fail. That is not good enough.

I guess the proof will be in the pudding, but the signs are ominous.
