Points 2&3) Again I don't think it is that simple. Players in the central belt can move between clubs up to around Dundee without moving house or kids school. I would therefore think that the package we have to offer must be significantly better than most to get the more experienced players to relocate. As for Curtis Main, whilst agreeing that it didn't work out for him here, he was unlucky with injury and did cause us problems when he was at Motherwell. Would be interesting to understand why he couldn't bring his Motherwell form to Aberdeen.
If the rumours are true about us signing Leigh Griffiths and Declan Gallagher then they would definitely strengthen us.

It’s not exactly going to cripple us financially by signing these type of players instead of the likes of Ash Taylor and Curtis Main.

It’s nothing against Stephen Glass at all here but if he doesn’t get to sign better players than we have then he is going to struggle.

We could get the best manager in the world and they would struggle to make us entertaining to watch with the players we have been signing for the last few years.
