I assume he's getting a large booing if he comes on at Pittodrie? None of the "I'll support him in a Dons top" pish. This is a fucking rank move.

On this day in 2026, the Dons signed a Hun. From the Huns.

He's got plenty of experience of the type of setup required in his previous roles though. I like him.

Aren't the players working?

Fuck sake.

I guess they wouldn't get in the way as much if they were dead, or give the ball away, so I think you might have been right.

Do you? It seems to me that he's saying nothing at all, from a vacuum of imagination. If he'd articulated his position, then there might be something to go on, otherwise it's just some trite pish, of the clever, smart-arsedness type that lacks any depth or wisdom. Fairly fucking pointless in the scheme of amiable online conversation. I would genuinely like to hear his position, going beyond the tired, narrow, elusive statistics of the system (GDP, poverty, flushing toilets etc) and some real thoughts and opinions to show me/us how linear progression isn't just a pathetic myth. It is the best time to be alive because it is the only time we will be alive, and via the lens of the technological system, things have never been so technological. Look at the improvements in art with AI. The beauty of the Top 40. Today's the best there's ever been.

You think some of them might improve with death?

Cooper Masson going to be the latest youngster to leave before kicking a ball?

The loan would be completely unacceptable to any right thinking Dandy. I'm fairly certain that Cormack will know that. I'd wait for confirmation before throwing my season ticket into the sea. But, aye, we don't need him. There isn't the room to play him and Clarkson. Probably isn't room for him and Armstrong. He has the potential to be very good if he can do the yards on the pitch.

To be fair, if Egypt are playing again at 8pm, I can understand them not wanting to expend too much energy attacking.

Good news. All of those correctly dispatched, with Milanovic requiring a loan to confirm he's definitely pish sounds reasonable. Six out leaves a much easier squad to deal with.

Not all aspects of a player's game require strength in the tackle though. Clarkson is weak in the tackle for example. He's fairly decent defensively despite being a poor tackler because his positional sense is decent. He's very two footed (probably the most two footed player in the squad), and is technically decent. He's a vast upgrade on utility players like Dom Ball for example, who was poor, but still a worthwhile squad player who covered numerous positions in the course of a season. He's already better than several of our squad in their preferred roles, so I wouldn't be confident we could go out and get better. None of this is to say he's good, just that he's above average. If we accept that his weakness is physical strength, then that's no different to accepting that Shinnie's weakness is pace, and Devlin's is technical ability. We make up for it by signing players who compliment, whilst working with Polvara on strength conditioning and not being a fanny.

I assumed he was including himself in that? I'm going to go against the grain here and say that I thought he played well in the last two games. His movement was very good on Sunday, making space for others, probably not noticeable on the telly. He's an intelligent player, who quickly gets to grips with the position he's asked to play. He's not a world beater, but slightly above average and can play in numerous positions. We need a player like that in the squad. It means that you don't have to overload the squad with shite. On the assumption that you're always going to have injuries, he's a reasonably dependable all rounder that can cover, meaning that you can offer him twenty games a season comfortably and you don't need two players in every position. It's a case of better the devil you know, and we've seen how poor the signings have been, we'll definitely sign worse.

He can get fucked
