    Who are we realistically going to be signing that would generate much interest with our budget? For me right now Shinnie would be as good as it gets for us to sign someone to get excited about and I doubt that will happen.

    We have signed a player who is unknown to most of us, but who can hopefully go on and make a name for himself with us and I hope that we have at least managed to sign a player who isn't afraid of the ball, that would be a good start.

    Other clubs have had a bit of success with players from Europe, so hoping we can start finding a few too.

    Welcome to Aberdeen Yiber.

    The Goodwin revolution has started.

    A couple of strikers in would certainly generate more interest. Signing defensive players is the easier bit of the transfer business….getting good forward players take a bit more effort. Goodchin said he doesn’t want lazy type signings so I will watch this transfer window a bit more closely to see if he is true to his word. The odds are against him

    Sadly nobody gives a f*** about our game and attracting players is becoming harder every year for all teams, including the bigot brothers. No manager will find it easy to sign players for any position who can be guaranteed quality at the money we are offering. Bringing through our own players, which we seem to be getting better at and scouting the European market are possibly our best options, along with loans from other clubs, preferably from outside Scotland but not to the detriment of our own youth. Also the rejects from the EPL academies, of which there are many, must be worth a shot too.

    I do suspect a couple of 'lazy' signings will be heading our way as we get closer to the season kicking off as no manager was going to fix us in one window.

    They never have been up till now.

    A reject is a reject, no matter how high and mighty the club rejecting them is.

    Eh? So a player from the best academy in the country is deemed sh1te cos he can’t break into their first team, and gets rejected?
