It?s not entirely down to the manager who we sign anyway. Keskinen for example was being lined up since last season so he was coming in whether Thelin wanted him or not.

Last season im pretty sure that Or Dadia and the lad we took in from Liverpool were signed over Robsons head considering he never gave either of them a chance.

What I would be more critical of Thelin about is the fact that he has completely overlooked our youth system.

The club like to brag about how good our youth system is but its pointless if none of them are getting into the first team.

Theres a few players who won the youth league last season on loan at Cove and Inverness Caley.Maybe thats their level which would make our youth policy a waste of time but it would be good to at least give these young players a chance.
I would rather we played the final against Celtic with the youth team and their coaches.
Everyone in the country is expecting Celtic to win because our first team have sh@t their breeks and looking like a bunch of lads who have just been thrown together in the hope of producing some miracle but without putting in the effort.

Aberdeen FC should have the best youth team set up in the country.
We must rely on it as we invest a lot of money into it. Good young players get better through experience?.at Aberdeen we seriously limit their chances of playing regularly with the first team. Not many managers recently are interested in nurturing these young players and willing to do the hard work to keep improving them.
It?s a bit of a shame for the young lads when they win trophies but at the same time get sent a message they aren?t needed for the first team.

If you were a top young player with clubs chasing you would you sign for Aberdeen? You need to look at the bigger picture.
