Summer Transfer Window (Stephen Glass’ first)

[pieandbovrilman]

I agree. I really don’t see this guy doing much at all on the scoring front for us. Get Griffiths signed up and that should be a priority.

Ach I dinna ken , we cam sing the wings tune of the same name whenever he scores .....

Will the new mental wellbeing room be installed at the same time? Undoubtedly the boy has talent but what is the point when he is never up for it? Aberdeen is hardly reknowned for getting the best out of previously good players and for this reason I think it isn't worth the gamble. We are already taking a big risk signing an aging midfielder with zero coaching experience.

If we can sign a striker who will outscore Leigh Griffiths then fair enough. If not, he should be our number 1 target. He will definitely score goals

I don't have a problem with us signing JET, provided he's not seen as our main striker. He seems like an upgrade on Cosgrove to me, and there would be games in which he could be effective. But unless we can get a drastic improvement out of him in terms of goal scoring, then I would hope he'd be a foil/backup rather than 1st choice. The latter would be a bit depressing and I would start to worry at that point.

For now, though, I'm going to stick to my big boy pants until I see how the squad as a whole shapes up.

I think he probably was/is the number one target. But around 10k a week for someone who isn’t guaranteed to be physically or mentally fit from one week to the next may well be a stumbling block.

Is this confirmed??
Squad filler??

[GASC1980]

This is simply not good enough. Wrong side of 30 and interested in signing him because he caused us problems a couple of times like Cutis fecking Main. Season ticket sales will decrease not increase with crap like this.

[Don Julio]

It's The Sun. And it says "believed to be interested in signing...".

Pinch of salt?

[Auldtoontoby]

He might not come an he probably is not the player we all want either.
But ,we have no strikers . This guy might come on a lowish wage , we need several attacking options .
He may well be an option worth having if other potential signings are smaller,nimbler .
Plus if he is out of contract in summer he is free to talk with us , other targets may still be under contract and will be unveiled later ( hopefully)

I’d take JET as an option up top.

It looks like Alan Russell’s contact with emerging talent in England is now over so we’re probably not going to do much in that market now. Let’s hope he is actually a good coach because his contacts through his other role were a big part of why most thought he was a good signing.
