Transfer Window

[Don Julio]

Aberdeen are close to making New Zealand international left-back James McGarry their next summer signing. The Dons are understood to have agreed a six-figure fee with Australian side Central Coast Mariners to sign the 25-year-old on a permanent deal.

Darren Mackie was a hero to some sections of the Red Army, despite being shocking in most games.

The dazzler was never a hero to me. If a half cut Pele Paterson knew he wasn't good enough, it was amazing he lasted as long as he did with us.

I see this guy is being written off by some of our supporters before he’s even signed.

Not entirely sure why?

Many players that we sign are written off before the ink dries on their contracts.
It's not just an Aberdeen thing though.

I like to see a player playing in a few games first before judging them.

Apparently Ramadani is away after a £1.1 million fee was agreed with a 10% sell on clause.

Whilst sad to see him move on, I do wish him all the best.

Why are so many transfer fees in and out "undisclosed" these days???

Money laundering and/or tax evasion.

It seems to be because the Australian league is a poor standard so he must be pish.

To be honest I wouldn’t know how good it is but I highly doubt most Aberdeen fans would know how good it is either.

I don’t think any of these leagues we are signing players from are top leagues that’s probably why they are signing for us.

Doesn’t necessarily mean they are shyte players though.

Difficult to draw a comparison - games are played in summer so it's a lot less heidless chicken.

Pitches are generally good too.

I would say top half of the A league is comparable with the bottom of the SPL. CCM finished second last year and won the play-off final at a canter. MCGarry will probably be adequate, without setting the heather on fire, but he is showing ambition at 25 he could have got a bigger paycheck moving to an Asian league.
