4 new faces at least

Maybe Devlin at Accies was our plan A.

You've got to question why we're p1ssing about with trialist's with only 4 days to go before our 1st match. Especially when it was known that Taylor was going to leave a few months ago.

I agree.
It's been known for months Taylor was going & Devlin was injured 8-10 weeks ago.
Seems pretty obvious we have no one lined up.
Which is a worry.

Cheeky £500k bid to Chelski for a certain Michael Hector?

Sounds good,

Could possibly have a new share issue afterwards to pay his wages.

The harsh reality is that we don't have much of a scouting network.

Absolutely. And very "un Derek" like behaviour, to be fair. He normally has his targets lined up months before. And yet we are signing, or attempting to sign, multiple strikers. And we still haven't replaced that pace down the wings

Surely, there must be a centre half in the English leagues that can do a turn for us, even some ageing ****er as a stop gap?

Have to agree that it may have been Devlin or Lindsay that we had targeted, is it now a case of getting in an unknown cheap option and going after our Plan A target at the January transfer window ?

As above I would rather we spend the cash on a decent centre-half than Moult.

Heres a recent story about scouts at Aberdeen. A kid from Meldrum has been picked up by sevco. Aberdeen got wind of it and spoke to the kids dad. The dad was asked "why did we not get spoken too". The dad asked if Aberdeen had watched his son at any point which it turned out they hadnt. So they expect to know about good youngsters without watching them. Im no scout but im sure thats nae how it works

Excellent.
If anyone knows of any kid that is decent at football get in touch with Aberdeen and let them know... We are the new scouting system.

Blow the Group Stage qualification money on him

When did we last have a successful trialist?

I think Markus Heikkinen was a trialist before we signed him.

Hun scouts on the prowl in meldrum?

AFC should of had scouts at the meldrum primary school playground any night circa 1997. As long as they buggered off after the cider was cracked open.
