Bring back the original 3, to be generous make the European cup for top 2. Make football interesting again! to me it’s been 6 European friendlies, obviously want us to do well but no great appeal. If anything I’d prefer we used the squad and kept key players fresh for the league, obviously an ass backwards approach.

Peak Lewis was up there with leighton and snelders, cracking keeper. Want!!!

Anyone got any feedback on kjarten, bilalovic, and frame? Are they any good?? Not just tonight, I’ve heard so little of their performances season to date.

Didn’t realize Zac Vyner was a team mate of Ross McCrorie at Bristol City. Don’t remember much about him while he was at us, would take McCrorie back in a heartbeat, a shinnie devlin type.

Jumped the gun after reluctantly reading the daily record notes of the AGM. Sounds like we may lose/get rid of players and existing squad players pick up their minutes. Plus sounds like some are now ready for mins. If that’s the case wouldn’t mind seeing Marshall and kjarten getting the very limited minutes of clarkson/palaversa/sivert, plus a legit cm signed. Not saying we should get rid of clarkson, but sounds like he’s going. With Armstrong aouchiche Polvara shinnie and a legit cm signed, plus Marshall and kjarten, that’s certainly plenty of cm’s. wouldn’t mind milanovic going on loan and belalovic getting his minutes. Give a loan to gyamfi) or sell) and his minutes to frame, with shinnie and Jensen capable short term left back options until we sign a legit one.

Perhaps it’s simply relative. Summer was 12 or 13 I think. 2-3 perhaps? I think 4 is the minimum. CM, a winger, a forward, and possibly a central defender. Would like a left back if frame isn’t ready for minutes. would like to see vinnie, yengi, Ambrose, nilsen gone, milanovic or belalovic, kjarten, and gyamfi out on loan.

Is no left turns something to do with our inverted wingers?

So aouchiche is 1.5m. Unlikely we’re doing that. Given he’s out of contract, prob 500 for Watson? Obviously there’s competition but I’d really hope we try for this guy. Seems a legit Scottish up and comer and we’ve missed out on those of late, Bowie, mulligan, Cameron for example.

Any best of the rest realistic transfers out there? Agree on a Clarkson replacement, no point in replacing like with like if it’s not the system Thelin will play. At the same time, having a winger or two that can take a defender on the outside is essential if you ask me. what kind of CM is David Watson?? A Ferguson, Rama type??

I’ve coached a ton of Haitians in Florida, travel ban won’t affect things, they’ll have fans. But certainly not as popular as Brazil and a lesser extent Morocco. Was actually hoping for that one to be played in Miami.

Na. Too old for our player trading. We still have Ryan Duncan anyway.

So how do you boys get tickets? Will try for the Brazil game, only a 4 hr drive. ticket lottery opens up December 15.

Early Xmas request. We did well getting the likes of Rooney McLean Hayes shinnie, to a lesser extent Ferguson, the best of the rest. Maswanhise Longelo Congreve and Watson would be great additions, obviously tough to get but I can hope. Upgrade on gyamfi milanovic palaversa and yengi please!

Rated Congreve yesterday. Welsh u21 international under contract with Swansea until 2028 unfortunately. Young lad who would fit our player trading model. Maybe loan with option to buy if they don’t sell immediately??

Left back Longelo scored for Motherwell again today. He’d be a great addition.

Will be a challenge to keep the lie at work going if we make the final!

Just finished watching, good win and with killie ar home next weekend, good opportunity to keep the positive momentum. its all our midfield. Aouchiche Armstrong and polvara played well first half and it’s a solid performance, then second half it’s more passive, too deep, and not enough desire passion or fight in midfield to get the team up the park. Some fannying around too in the box too, should gave been more than 2 up before they score. think that’s our strongest 3 in midfield, but certain hope we add a cm or two in Jan.

Meh. You’ll have Covid for those few days. Best to stay home.

Great for me, 9pm, 6pm, and 6pm. Impossible to please everyone. To be honest, 9pm and 6pm in Boston shouldn’t be too hot, mid June is not hot hot either there, probably in the 70s which is ok. Miami will certainly be warmer.

Shinnie deserves a place in Aberdeen club history. A trophy winning proud Aberdeen for the jersey guy. Love the way he plays and delighted when he played for Scotland, more than deserved. Gutted when he left and delighted when he came back. At the same time, he’s on the decline and more and more people are holding him in less regard. I did criticize him last week, think he struggles at times now, but he will always be legendary shinnie. funny, I never rated considine and didn’t care for him much at all, but so many/the majority treat him with legendary status.

This has become a really disappointing thread! So few rumors in recent months/years. The club has done a much better job of keeping signings close to their chest, even though the majority have been shite. Takes the fun out of things! are we being losely linked with anyone at all besides David Watson? so who are the more recent signings on their way out besides yengi??

To me it’s all about midfield. Dominate there and the pressure is off the defense and mitov becomes more of a spectator. The majority of our problems stem from midfield. Lack of competitiveness and we get over run, lack of creativity and support in attack produces so few goals.

Didn’t realize Norway were 7th in the world at the time! italia 90 we lost to Costa Rica in the opener, similar situation here, hopefully we put up a better performance. A good start to the tournie will do us wonders. haiti’s keeper plays for aek athens, midfielder at wolves, winger at inter Miami. Looks like their top forward plays in the Persian league but played on loan at st mirren in 2019. Really intrigued by our mindset, qualifying was not great performances, and the last two euros were piss poor. Hopefully we can come out flying! I certainly think I’m in the minority but hoping a midfield of a healthy doak Ferguson mctominnay gilmour and Harvey Barnes do the business. A youthful Gordon in goal, back 4 of hickey Milne McKenna Robertson, and I do think if we have doak and Barnes either shankland or dykes at 9. Maybe Bowie has a killer 6 months and comes into the World Cup as europe’s form striker!

World rankings, Brazil 5, Morocco 11, Scotland 36, Haiti 84. for comparison, teams we’ve played in the last few years, Spain 1, Portugal 6, Croatia 10, Swiss 17, Denmark 21, norway 29

Really? I think it will be different players. And in a different continent. It’s been 26 years. im delighted to avoid European teams. Particularly if it’s Italy or Denmark. Not only the strength of the Europeans, but nice to have different styles with this lot. While many of the players play in European, playing these teams will be something different. Particularly if we are physical, maybe that helps us against Haiti and Morocco. How many fans have seen Scotland play these types of teams? I remember Morocco, Brazil, Uruguay, New Zealand, Costa Rica, nice to avoid Europe. of the top teams, I think we had to face Brazil Argentina or a host. USA are a decent team and at home, as are Mexico. Canada are no mugs. Argentina are streets ahead of Brazil. Work with a bunch of Brazilians who can’t stand their national team at present, they aren’t a typically strong Brazil. they have all the pressure and expectation too. Maybe we’re due a result there? morocco could be good, maybe not, who knows about Haiti. I think it’s a decent and exciting draw.
