Summer 2022 thread!

Good move for Lewis (well done for not going to Them, like the press said was going to happen). Reasonable money, seems to have done things right, heart wasn't in it last season, but done ok. Small thing that bugs me though - why did Goodwin feel the need to say he was injured, and this was reason he's not been in the team. Did anyone believe this? I don't understand the need to lie.

Maybe he was ?

He mentioned, as I recall, “not wanting to risk him” after he’d previously taken a sore one - that could mean different things, including protecting their player with a transfer imminent. It seems that that was likely at least one reason for him not playing and that decision probably came from the top. A lack of candour, in these instances, is fair enough as the Club presumably didn’t want to scupper an imminent deal. That’s around £7.5M in, so maybe a couple more £0.5M deals to look forward to before the window quietly and seamlessly shuts?!

Good deal all round for everyone i think if young Lewis goes to Bologna. Our best player last season in my eyes. Decent money for him which I think will be reinvested.

give him 2 years and the dream transfer to brentford is on :-)

good luck to him though

I hope we've got a sell on clause like Ramsay.

[Jussi]

A 50% sell on please, as they try repeating the Hickey scam.

All the best Lewis, hopes goes on to be the player he can be.
Will always remember that goal and celebration at Hampdung.

Aberdeen manager Jim Goodwin explains summer signing Ylber Ramadani was signed as a replacement for midfielder Lewis Ferguson, who is close to joining Bologna.

Is that the signings then?

No he was on the radio after the match yesterday saying he wants 3 more players, all of them "at the top end of the park" so maybe another forward, a winger and an attacking midfielder?

We are still far from the finished article...

There was a few too many "balls over the top" against Peterheid and Brechin for me, I am all for pace on the wings but there was very little happening in the centre of the park.

Agree ... midfield link up play was sorely lackin' for at least the first 2/3rds o' the game .... As Ah said elsewhere tho, that Ryan Duncan guy looks like a plaaaer ... maks space by leavin' opposition players behind him ... looks a right prospect
