This! Got European football with Aberdeen is somewhat misleading if the dons go with that as a carrot 🥕 to dangle. In reality, he could be involved in a couple of qualifiers before the inevitable pumping in round 3/4.

Seemingly really close a deal 

 

Aberdeen have signed that Onjo so may put us in the driving seat 

 

Hibs no chance

 

They only sign English league 2 and below

No idea but one chap who has had it right before seems confident.  Posts are low key overlooked. Maybe nothing.

No probs chief, I jumped in a bit (apologies).  The guy’s a Patrick fan actually, but has quite a few contacts on the coaching side.

FWIW I heard a rumour last week that Buaben was coming back.  Wouldn’t shock me, Levein has his favourites.

 

Even as a squad filler thats a hard sell. 

 

The guy made over 100 appearances for us, so I have no issue whatsoever with him training to keep fit or whatever, but I just don't see what he could have to offer.

 

Felt it was a bit mental how  he went from us - a top 6 top flight team, to ****ing falkirk. Surely a lower end top flight team would have taken him?

No. But not beyond the realms. Last minute away goals and all that. 

If I was basing my decision,  personally I would wait if Europe was my motivation

Can I just say that if....and it's a big if... 

 

We spend our summer getting

 

A cracking centre back in Halkett 

An international and leader of men in Naismith

An international centre forward in Washington 

A fit, focused and motivated Jamie Walker 

 

And then bring in Morrison and Mulumbu..... 

 

I might just have to put that down as a pretty perfect transfer window

I am. Aberdeen were shite in the first game and McInnes record in Europe is terrible, given how many goes he's been handed.

Personally, if this happens maybe also with CG signing, i would probably artex my own ceiling and be found dead, lying in a pool of my own man fat, a mere costume of a man, a hollow husk, with a contented smile, a happy happy, gone to maroon heaven type smirk across my face.

Even if we don't get those two specifically 4 out of 6 plus AN Other attacking/central midfielder is still decent. Given we have cover in Edwards and Bozanic and even Lee until he goes I'm OK if we don't sign Mulumbu assuming Haring isn't out long term. It's time for at least one of Cochrane, Clare and Irving to impose themselves on the team.

It would seem just by this one post you have made a very poor attempt at a wind up or know very little about football.

which is it? ;)

Here oddball, have you and one of your creepy mates been trying to steal Sparrowhawk chicks? You do strike me as a likely FKW.

 

https://www.edinburghnews.scotsman.com/news/crime/man-wearing-full-aberdeen-kit-tries-to-take-sparrowhawk-chicks-from-nest-in-edinburgh-1-4962462

 

 

A man wearing a full Aberdeen Football Club strip tried to take Sparrowhawk chicks from their nest in a wooded area is west Edinburgh.

 

The man, aged in his 30s, was with a second person in a wooded area close to the Almond Aquaduct near to Cliftonhall Road in Newbridge on Saturday, July 6 when the incident happened.

 

The two men were seen in the area at around 2pm.

 

They stated to a member of the public that there was a nearby nest that contained five Sparrowhawk chicks.

 

The suspects then intimated that they planned to take the chicks with a view to sell on and had attempted to remove a number of the chicks from the nest.

 

The incident was reported to police and officers attended the scene who in turn contacted the Scottish SPCA to assist with conducting inquiries into the matter.

The men are both described as white and with local accents. The first man was aged in his fifties, around 5ft 6ins to 5ft 9ins tall and was wearing a black baseball cap, black down jacket, black jeans and black shoes.

 

The second man was younger, aged in his thirties, of slim build and slightly taller at 5ft 9ins to 6ft tall. He was wearing an Aberdeen FC shirt, Aberdeen FC shorts, and white trainers.

 

Inquiries are currently ongoing and anyone who may have any information is asked to come forward.

 

Wildlife Crime Officer said: “We are working with our partners to fully investigate this report and would remind the public that the taking, or harming, of these raptors is an offence under the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981.


“I’d appeal to any dog walkers or member of the public who may have been near the Union Canal on Saturday afternoon, and who saw these two men, to get in touch with officers should they have information to assist our inquiries.”

 

Scottish SPCA special investigations unit undercover inspector said: “We are pleased the attempt to steal the sparrowhawk chicks was halted by the vigilant members of the public.

 

“We want to make it clear to the public that all birds, including birds of prey, are protected by law and it is a criminal offence to remove eggs, chicks or birds from the wild.

Hopefully we are after him as would be a very good signing. 

 

We desperately need to strengthen our midfield and it’d be a statement of intent if we brought someone in like Morrison.

I’m not sure if it’s natural or he’s doing more gym work than Harry for example. If he adds a bit more physicality to his game he will make us a bit of money.

 

Sorry PfK, I disagree. You could see from Irving’s first first team game that he was going to be a ‘big laddie’. That’s what set him apart from the other kids that had made their debuts. It annoys me when people have a go at Cochrane for his build, he’s seventeen years old. The absolute worst thing he could do would be to overdo the gym trying to ‘bulk up’. He’s too young for that. What he needs to do is keep working on his football. The build can come when he stops growing.

 

I remember seventeen year old Christiano Ronaldo when he signed for Manchester United. Skinny as a feather he was. Thank Christ nobody at United tried to push the envelope and tell him to ‘bulk up’. That side of things will come, and it’s  the easier part of being a professional athlete. Training to perfect your natural ability? Much harder.

You have a point, Ronaldo went from skinny to slightly heavy and is now probably as fit as footballer can be. He obviously did fill out or bulk up in time. It’s something the youngsters should aspire too I feel. 

Harry has been targeted in the first team and the reserves and has suffered injuries, he will need to keep building his strength as he grows. It’s the main reason he’s not been involved as much.

I maybe didn’t explain myself well, I think Andy needs to get stuck in a bit more, he seems just a tad hesitant to stick a leg in from I’ve seen but hopefully that will come as he gets older and even stronger.

The strength and size of a Lewis Ferguson for example, probably over physical to be honest, at the same sort of age.

 There is a balance to be had, I would say Uche does too much in the Gym to the detriment of his actual football skills, that need more work. Olly Lee is possibly too muscular as well, I hadn’t noticed until Celtic Park how ripped he was. I think a little bit of extra energy 😜 can help in the latter part of games, Lee and Uche are usually blowing out their backsides.
