Jimmy Thelin

[rico94]

I don't know how accurate or how factual this is, But I remember reading somewhere that in the three transfer windows that technically Thelin has had he has signed twenty fcukin four (24) players in that three windows. That is insane and more so when you actually start to try and name them all it just goes to show how sh1te most them have been as not one of them out of twenty fcukin four have gone on to make a serious and significant positive impact to the team, not a single one.
Let that sink in for a minute

Yeah we have had a high turnover of players for years bus.

2021/22 15 players signed
2022/23 17 players signed
2023/24 15 players signed

I suspect we will sign the same amount of players next summer as well, then probably the same the following summer.

I wouldnt necessarily say the huge turnover of players in the last year is down to Jimmy Thelin.Its the clubs transfer process thats causing us to rebuild season after season.

So you would say Mitov hasn't been a good signing for us?

Three young lads signed in the summer can't be included in your above either, as NOBODY knows much about them.

I'd say a few also contributed last season to winning us the cup.

Still early days min, but some will come good.

What would a successful signing rate be for a club? 50/60% With us having signed 24 players, according to your above post, that that quite a few won't succeed with us.

Ok pal I will agree with Mitov and I was really referring to outfield players.
The cup win was great and will live on in the memory of us all for a long long time, but we were lucky, we should have lost the semi final, then the second red card changed things.
But hey we won it and that's all that counts at the end of the day, so well done to Thelin and all involved, thanks again.

As for the signings, and especially the most recent ones big big let down every single one of them.

Couple of the young ones might be decent in a year or two but we need to sort this pesh now nae in a year or two

I think we need to look at the bigger picture of our signings in the last 5 years and why we are constantly having a huge turnover of players every season.

There are 2 players left from the Stephen Glass squad. Polvara and Vinny who has been punted out on loan by 3 different managers.

There are no players left from Goodwins squad, Morris was the last one.

Shinnie , Devlin and Clarkson are the only ones left from Robsons squad.

Questions need to be asked about why so many of these signings we make are not good enough and have to be moved on and then just get replaced by players who equally are not good enough.

There is always going to be signings that dont work out but we have had an alarmingly high rate of poor signings in the last 5 years. I think the club need to change the strategy of how they are going about bringing in players.

A few months to "settle in" and then ........,

I agree. I hate ‘the model’ . I hate the ‘churn’ but I suspect the club would try to justify it by saying that in the period you mention we have also taken in fees for Miovski, Duk, Gueye, Morris, McCrorie and Ramadani.

Now you and I know that means nothing if the rest of the signings are the gambles that don’t work out and the team is utter ****e but somewhere the whole point of why we exist (to win games!) has been lost to be replaced by a potential ‘sell ons’ mentality.

Even if recruitment was top notch (and it’s not) suspect the churn would be much the same. We’re selling ourselves as a stepping stone. I feel very little connection to these guys as they come and go and in the meantime block progress of our own youngsters. I?ve always said that’s my biggest enjoyment as a fan. Right now I wouldn’t be surprised if Milne was the very last development player to come through.

The whole make up of the team is wrong, too many failures looking for resurrection for their next move, too many ‘projects’ and most of the experienced players are nearly all at the end of their time. There’s nothing in between. Just a mish mash with very little cohesion/character.

TBF to the new guys it’s harsh to judge them fully yet, they’ve come in to a misfiring team, but with that said can’t see many fees coming in in the next couple years…

We’ve been in a mess for most of our existence. Milne wasn’t much if any better.
Cormack is going about things wrong but can’t fault him for putting his hand in his pooch.
We’ve got a training centre, he’s spruced up Pittodrie a bit and made match day better. Got bums on seats.

I’m hacked off by the mess behind the scenes - strategy, recruitment etc and yes he’s royally ****ing that up but he’s still preferable to a lot of rogues out there. Im not unaware enough to realise that a lot of the things I rail against are as much a product of modern football than just Dave’s doing.

But sort out the bloody model/recruitment min…

A fake Whats App message is doing the rounds saying Jimmy Thelin has resigned as our manager.

It’s cretinous behaviour. I can just about get passing on rumours - but a blatantly fake statement? Moronic.
