    Thankful DM and TD are back to work today we might actually start to see some movement in the next few days and then will find out what rumors (if any) actually come to fruition. Hoping the rumors of Maloney and May are proved to be correct, and also Lindsay. Not fussed one way or the other on Greg Stewart and dont know anything about the Belgian lad from Boro.

    In Deek we trust

    Of course they are from social media, pretty much like where everyone else gets their rumors from, Where do you get yours from? straight from Derek McInnes

    Good question,first off I would be impressed if we paid 400 - 500k for a player, when was the last time we did that, Zeroaulli or Stavrum maybe?

    I like May but would rather pay a bit more for Boyce or Moult as he had that bad injury so he might not be the player he once was.But if we sign May I would be happy enough.

    Liam Boyce would be a steal at £500k, i've said it before and i'll say it again that he should be our No.1 signing target.

    DM likes Considine at LB, and prefers Shinnie in centre midfield getting in the face of the opposition
    We have Tansey, Shinnie, McLean & O'Connor that can play in the "2" of a 4-2-3-1 if DM sticks with that formation.

    I think we'll sign;

    - a striker and offload Storey
    - a centre half (personally I'd try for 2, but unlikely)
    - 2 wide players (whether DM will regard the likes of Maloney as a wide player who knows)
    We definitely need one out and out winger such as a Greg Stewart.
    I think I'm right in saying that May has also played a lot of times wide, cutting inside. It could very well be that May is coming in to play wide.

    Obviously won't know until all signings are in place and the season starts, but I would be very surprised if we see a wholesale change in formation

    Tansey, Christie, Maloney, May (if last 2 come off) would be a great start yo the summer in my view. A dominant center half would be the next key player on my list


    Also, McGinn still looking, maybe a chance he will stay?

    Must admit I was thinking about the McGinn situation as well, sh1t loads of various rumors flying around about sh1t loads of players and not just associated with the dons, but never one single rumor about McGinn, would love to see him have a "u-turn" and sign back on again, guess to be honest it's highly unlikely to happen but would be great....

    I hear Mr Fyvie tried to do a U-turn on turning down his Hibs contract and got told to beat it!

    I'm not suggesting that would happen to McGinn, but it would a bit cocky to expect the same deal after turning it down in the hope of greener grass else where.

    I would agree with that, but there is also the case of cutting your nose of to spite your face.

    If DM feels he has replaced mcginn, then he should have no route back if he did a U turn. But, if DM hasn't (and I don't think we have) and mcginn wanted to come back, then we should welcome him back with open arms. The level of goals and assists that mcginn provides is not easily or cheaply replaced

    Christie I hated when he was at Inverness, thought he was a narky little bawbag, I remember him giving it the big 'un in front of our dugout in Inverness one time after scoring.
    Now he's our narky little bawbag, he's fine!
    May there was never an issue with.
    As I recall "that" chant at Aidscastle was down to his fizog never being out of the papers the week of the game.
    It was May himself who said something about Dons fans nae liking him in light of that, but I've never been aware of any proper antipathy.

    i would break the bank and go for Boyce for £500k proven goalscorer & a Fellow Irishman to keep Rooney company
