How long until Derek has a look at the 3 from charlton

In fairness to Del only 2 of them are professional football players so I wouldn’t think he would be interested in the third guy. The football pair though will be fair game to him.

Russ Richardson is the Arthur Daily of football scouts. Tells you that the player he is recommending is a star but the reality is that he is in need of repair.

I still don’t think its necessarily all down to McInnes and Russ Richardson that we buy most of our players from the lower leagues in England.

When Willie Miller was dof his buddy Craig Robertson was the scout and only went to look at players down in guff land.

Possibly it could be they are told by the board for some reason to look at players from the lower English leagues?

When was the last time we bought a load of players from abroad?

Probably Skovdhal and before him Aitken bought a couple of pish Bulgarians and a 40 year old French defender.

I remember being at Morton’s ground for Toni’s first match for Aberdeen. He led out the team as he was made captain straight away.
This modern day football should have modern day scouting systems and not one that wouldn’t look out of place 25 years ago.
We need to buck up our ideas of improving the squad if we want to be successful. Who really wants a season without giving yourself a chance of winning trophies? We are standing still as a club.

It didn't stop Craig Broon signing an agent's son to push the Nick Blackman loan through - that deal had dodgy written all over it.

To a lesser extent, Calderwood had a habit of signing amateurs too - thank fu(k those days are over...
