Summer Transfer Window 2020/21

[The_Moog]

Livingston sign Anthony Stokes (who was available when we were looking) and we sign Marley Watkins.

Which would you have chosen?

Erm - Watkins by the length of fuuckin Union Street min.

If AFC now felt the need to start signing fat, uninterested, IRA loving, utter waster scumbags like Stokes, then we as a club are in way more trouble than I thought.

Jesus Christ, the boy had talent and pished it away. By the look of him it’ll be January afore he’ll be fit enough to run 20 yards.

He’ll do absolutely fuuck all at Livi. I’m amazed they signed him tbh.

Watkins moved for £1m not long ago (& yes I know Maynard got big bucks spent on him too) but Watkins was a decent SPL player as I recall at ICT.

Given our situation, I’m not sure exactly who folk think we’d be able to sign short term this urgently.

Anyone but Anthony fuuckin Stokes though...

Moog, I normally agree with pretty much everything you say.
With this post I do too.
Stokes is a c**t, a horrible c**t.
Where I do disagree is about Watkins.
He’s not an out & out centre forward.
That’s what we desperately need.
That said, I wish him well & would be happy to admit I was wrong in a few weeks/months time.... here’s hoping.

The current crop of youngsters clearly aren’t rated or trusted by mcinnes - they’re in for one game and regardless of how they play are out the next, while older players retain their places regardless of their performances.

Example - Scott Wright was probably the only player who looked to have any kind of spark in the first hour of thursdays game but he will most certainly not be starting today. If we could adapt our style a little to pass the ball more on the ground I actually think he could play up front - he is quite good at taking the ball with his back to goal and turning quickly either direction. He’d obviously be no use whatsoever if we persisted in battering long high balls forward.

With all the midfielders and wingers we have surely we should be able to find a combination that can play some decent football whereby we don’t need to sign someone just because they’re over 6ft to play up front - and someone who’s not even a striker at that. We all know the only reason Watkins has been signed is because of his “physicality” as McInnes always says.

We can sign him again. All is not lost Don.

There's a candidate for "posts that didn't age well".

About the best since SteveW got his collar felt by his employer after posting that some Latinate boy (Batistuta? **** knows on the blin lemon principle “if it’s nae the Dons or Keith, I care not a ****”) was about to sign on at Pittodrie.

Not adapting to training on the artificial surface is code for stuffing too much gear up his nose. Guy is an absolute lowlife cretin. And still some on here would have him in a Dons shirt.

[Don Julio]

It’s a fair cop!

[Aldo1983]

Bruce Anderson been sacked yet?

[Stav22]

Have to say I’m not overly enthusiastic about the Watkins signing but some of the post are a tad over the top,if we signed Stokes instead of him the same people would be in meltdown about how we have signed a complete cvnt of a human.

I will give the guy a chance,it’s not his fault some people on here believed the guy claiming he was a Pittodrie informant told everyone we are about to sign an international striker

More than a tad over the top by some. Same on twitter! I'll give him a chance! Its only a short term fix ffs. Some mong on Twitter is bemoaning that we didn't sign the postie st Mirren signed! Jesus fkn wept!!
