2018 Summer recruitment

[The_Moog]

We’ve been able to sign players since January on pre contracts. McInnes said himself he works two windows in advance so what the f’ucks he been doing?

To only have 3 in at this stage with Europe only two weeks away is not good enough. After all, the club always tells us how allegedly important Europe is to them, and we all know for definite what a financial game changer it could be for the club yet we’re throwing it away for another year - EPL opposition or not.

Any signings we make now have missed a big chunk of pre season and time to integrate into the squad. Good excuse for McInnes though if we have a poor start.

The current situation is a joke. Having to cancel friendlies we need to be playing for sharpness due to injuries to a paper thin squad is a joke. Frankly, that’s the sort of tin pot Mickey Mouse s’hite I’d associate with Sevco, not a proper football club.

Even looking at s’hite like Nowak is a joke.

DNA? 😂😂😂

My pants are entirely dry, but are singularly unimpressed by the whole thing so far.

Totally agree with all of this.
The lack of transfer activity is very worrying due to the start of the season that we are about to have. If we dont pull our fingers out, we could be in a very bad way by October!

Pants are pished all over here, just waiting for Ali 1903 to arrive and tell us all everything is great........

Absolutely f**k all happening in Sleepy Hollow again this week then?!

F**k off Milne you grippy b@stard and get some good players in the door.

You unambitious, subservient SEVCO loving ar**hole

[Stavrum]

The club will be doing everything they can to get the right players in the door. I doubt they're all sitting around with their thumbs up their arse

Signings will be announced when there is something to announce

Folk need to calm down

Just another one on to agree with this very fair assessment.

It looks like we were hanging our hat on McGeough and didn't have any back up plan.

As alluded to above, it's not just the lack of signings at this stage that annoys me, it's the fact that even if we do bring guys in between now and the Burnley tie they will not be match fit - this despite us having all summer to get our house in order, and indeed since January to sign players on pre-contracts.

I watched the Siroki game last year at Pittodrie and the players were simply not fit. We were fortunate to escape with 1-1 and lucky we produced some quality goals in Bosnia. If we adopt the same approach - and unfortunately it appears we are doing so, whether willingly or not - against Burnley, we will be heavily beaten.

I don't expect us to beat Burnley over two legs - I DO expect us to give them a game and try to win the tie. We're unprepared and preparing to fail. That is not good enough.

I guess the proof will be in the pudding, but the signs are ominous.

[KIWIRED]

Surprised that we have never gone back and tried to sign some of the Eastern Block players that we have played against in the Europa Cup in recent years. We are told that we forged good relationships at board level with these types of clubs
Players from Croatia, Bosnia, etc tend to be technically very sound and hard as nails.
Don't expect to see their star players, but some of there younger or fringe players are lightly to be far better than some of the dross we sometimes peruse from the Englandshire lower leagues.
When I see the likes of Nicky Mainard I do worry, hardy played a first team game ( not his fault entirely ) and basically never looked like scoring when he did play
How about it Del and recruitment team, there is some gems to be found at decent prices

[Pacman1903]

Ive seen enough fitba abroad to know there are some excellent players out there. I would have signed 4 players from Ronnie the ass fisters Valerenga. I remember sitting there thinking we should tap into Norway. Their left back was ace. Turned out he was away to sign for Djurgardens. Surely we are a better gig than Djurgardens
