2018 Summer recruitment

[RED_JOHN]

Was Milne not saying the other day that 600k was available for bringing in players.

What’s happened to that money?

He spent it on a new hairpiece for the Burnley trip

There's your first mistake

Believing anything that comes out of that useless, tight-fisted c***s mouth.

We'll be scrabbling about the loan market - initially I thought 2....now thinking about 4.

This window has been a huge let down so far
10 out and 3 in (4 if you're kind and count Devlin).
4 more needed now...minimum.

playing Devil's Advocate....£600k?

Ferguson might be best part of £200k?
Forrester £200k?
We (allegedly) offered £250k for Marquis - so £250k left in the kitty for a new player
The rest will be freebies or more likely loans.

That’s not what he said the other day,to be honest I think it’s a bit cheeky he has used some of the money to pay members of staff that run the Aberdna thing as well as products when it was stated that all of the money would go towards the squad.

Not surprising though.

Last season we paid £450,000 for Stevie May. Milne has stated that our transfer budget from the club has increased since last season. Add the £600,000 that the generous fans put in and that is a better budget than McInnes is stating we have. Someone is not telling the truth...own up McInnes or Milne?

Apparently they also purchased some fancy GPS tracking devices for all the players. Anyone at the AberDNA Q&A confirm this?

[Don_Corleone]

I wasn't suggesting that we should go for Crawford - I was just saying I wouldn't be surprised if we made a move for him to bolster the squad, given that we're a bit light in midfield and that he is available for free. I could also see us going back in for Dominic Ball to provide cover in a variety of positions (again not saying we should).

What we need is someone to break through again this year as McKenna did last year. If even one out of Wright, Ross or Campbell can break into the team and be consistent then we'll save ourselves a lot of money. They all look good technically and have plenty potential - but they all look a little lightweight at the moment.

What is probably happening to the DNA money is to take the financial burden from the club during this transfer window and have it used to pay for everything transfer wise so far. Once the DNA money runs out Milne will let the clubs transfer/recruitment money kick in but he will be overseeing this more closely.

I wouldn't be too upset if Ball returned. With the transfer kitty still quite generous we should be signing better players than him and to be honest it would have been better if his return was completed a few weeks back but he certainly wasn't as bad as some on here made out. I'd take him.

Being coy about the transfers. Can't be branding about that we have X,Y or Z to spend.

Also with Hamilton not playing ball the club will need to be cagey until the compensation ruling is heard.

There will be more than two further signings, of that I am confident, well I hope, think, pray!!!
