Good shout.

Welcome to Aberdeen FC, Craig Bryson Very pleased with his addition.

There is a player in Greg Stewart, he's shown previously ( Dundee, earned a move to Engerland ) , and more recently ( Killie ), that there's a player in him, he was shite for us, and for me personally, that was due to our manager not utilising him correctly. Having said that, he had 2 opportunities here, and given his performances whilst here, we certainly won't miss him and I am sure almost everyone will agree that they're glad he's not here ( Although allegedly McInnes pursued him up until a few days ago ) based on his time here. Will he cut at the Hun reprobates? Personally, I don't think he will.

Can we do this? Maybe already been done? Wanted to get a feel for your guilty pleasure, music wise, obviously in the same vain as the What Are You Listening Too thread, but this thread is for songs you like that maybe you wouldn't post on there? I'll start. ( Obviously delete the thread if it has indeed been done before )

Indeed, saw something similar, if not the same thing, apparently Shaughnessy's old man was the problem, is he is agent or something? Joe was all but happy to sign the deal on the table but his old man wanted more wages ( Apparently ) So that's St Johnstone and now ourselves, pulled the plug. He'll end up at St Mirren or Motherwell.

As mentioned several times, he was at the very best, a squad player. This isn't a gut punch or even remotely disappointing news. We do though, need at least 3 midfielder's now. 1 x CAM, 2 x CDM. Unless McInnes has aspirations of heading into next season with Gleeson & Ferguson as our sitting pair. Fuck that

Daily Record reporting we're still interested in Scott Pittman. He signed a new contract in March remember, so would naturally involve us paying a fee, just never been impressed with him any time I have seen him, would be underwhelmed if we paid for him. Also rumours resurfacing that we're going to back in for Christian Doidge, strange one if that's true, given we've added Main, and already have May & Cosgrove. Of course they could be moved on, sold in Cosgrove's case.

Hopefully Main's addition is acceptance from the manager that Stevie May is no longer required. Send May to St Mirren or Hamilton etc... for a season long loan, in which he can be recalled if the need arises, get him regular games in his natural position and hopefully finds him his confidence back. Maybe he can still have a part to play but on the basis of that season there, he's not cut out just yet. Cosgrove, on the other hand, whilst he was sluggish in terms of his goals at the beginning, he was still our best option up front, he was causing far more problems than May was and he at least started scoring, his goal return shouldn't be underestimated, it will be very interesting to see if he can maintain double figures moving forward, though. I am more than happy to afford Curtis Main the opportunity. His signing seemed to go down a hell of a lot worse than Taylor's re-signing did. The negativity has been unreal, I absolutely get that his career total is rather underwhelming, but maybe we're going to go with 2 up front now, or maybe he'll suit us and McInnes's tactics better, who knows. I have a feeling he'll do okay to be honest.

Indeed, Curtis Main now confirmed as well, 2 year contract. That's 3 in the last 2 days, hopefully this is a continuation for the next few days, I'm not entirely sure where else we need to strengthen, other than LB, CDM & CAM. So if we added 3 more players, would everyone be pleased that we're ready to head into the new season?

I mean he's a unit in terms of his stature, he's fairly well built, and 6ft is still tall enough for a CB, who has decent pace as well. He'll do well at Hearts, hopefully big Ash towers above him in both boxes when we we play them

This guy is trying too hard to sound like Bob Dylan in my opinion. Crazy similarities.

I liked the look of Halkett, he's also relatively young and caused problems for opposition defenders at set pieces, whilst nodding in a few himself. He also looked mobile for a big unit, I'd have preferred us to pursue that type of signing as well, but maybe Hearts beat us to it, or maybe we were after him as well and he chose Hearts, who knows. I can see it being a Taylor - Considine partnership this coming season, I reckon we'll see Devlin papped to the bench, only returning if Taylor flops, or to cover injury/suspension. McInnes trusts Considine, he now hopefully recognises he's NOT a Left Back now, whilst doing an admirable job there for several seasons, he's definitely beyond it now, again, barring injury/suspension cover. McKenna will go this window, to the highest bidder, so that really leaves the Left Back spot, if we can get Lowe back, then superb, if not, we'll have another player from a similar Club lined up for a loan. The whole back 3 thing has been an utter fucking bombscare, and I don't think it has actually worked any time we've deployed it, so again, hopefully McInnes recognises this and isn't tempted.

Think you & I went to a home game vs Hamilton, big Ash scored a cracking header and in general, bossed the game, he was playing sublime passes also, and yes, I appreciate the opposition wasn't great, but if he could recapture that he'd be a fine player. The only downside is though, he had more hairy moments than most, but I'll back him, he's our player again, it's done, we move on.

Confirmation that Ash Taylor's re-signed, 2 year contract. This will go down well We all knew it was happening, so hardly a surprise.

Welcome to Aberdeen FC, Ryan. None of us know what we're getting here, but he's done enough to earn 3 caps for Wales, and played some part in helping Barnsley win promotion to the Championship. Only 23 years old also, so not the finished article, could be a coup, or could be a Forrester, time will tell, but it's a positive bit of news on a personally dreary day. Who's next I wonder.....

Get the impression he's shown a bit of potential and for one reason or another, not really fulfilled it, I read he's Injury Prone and I also read that he makes little to no impact when he starts games, he's usually more effective as a substitution. Supposed to be unveiled today, we will see.

Peter O'Rourke now reporting that we have agreed a deal to sign Hedges. This is a snippet from the Daily Record though. Aberdeen have agreed a deal to sign Barnsley winger Ryan Hedges - according to a report. The 23-year-old was a vital member of a Tykes side which earned promotion to the Championship last season. The Wales international is available on a free after deciding against extending his stay in Yorkshire and is currently undergoing a medical with the Dons, claim Football Insider. Hedges has earned three caps for his country since Ryan Giggs took charge. It could be a double boost for Aberdeen with New York City unlikely to make a move for Gary Mackay-Steven after .a change of formation. Apparently undertaking a Medical, or is due to undertake a medical.

Think McNulty is signing for Coventry Ten Caat. Side note, the winger allegedly already signed a pre-contract is Ryan Hedges. I know absolutely nothing about him. A quick look on Wikipedia though, He's been capped 3 times for Wales since 2017 and more recently played 50+ games for Barnsley, scoring twice. He's 6ft 1" though, pretty tall for a winger.

Would also imagine that staff and players will all be away abroad on holiday etc... Last I heard was that we have, as it stands right now, signed 3 players on a pre-contract, a Centre Back, Winger & a Striker. I hope we'll have more clarity next week at some stage. The players will be back training in the not to distant future I would imagine, given we are in Europe.

According to the good people of Twitter, listening in to the Radio, Scott MacDonald just said that we have indeed signed Curtis Main.

Departures confirmed, no real surprises as it is mostly loans. OUT - Greg Stewart, James Wilson, Dom Ball, Greg Halford, Max Lowe and a few youth players, David Craddock, Morgan Brown, Ryan Harrington. Add to that Shinnie & Reynolds who have signed elsewhere.

Watched it, thought it was horrendously turgid. Obviously a cagey affair given it's the 1st leg, but by fuck there was very little quality on show, agree regarding the McAllister winger, he looked okay, bit greedy, but he'll learn as he gets more experienced. That Connolly for the PJM's was a bit if a fucking arsewipe, he acts like my sisters wean when he doesn't get what he wants.

Would say that this is the most feasible suggestion, Considine will likely be our 1st choice CB ( Left Sided ) alongside either Taylor or Devlin, and Hoban will be offered the chance to join us and get back to match fitness, but that's ages away, so perhaps McInnes will think that a CB pairing of Devlin/Considine or Taylor/Considine will be enough to see us through until Hoban is fully fit. FWIW I think Considine will be made Captain as well and I'd go as far to say that this will be his last season for us in where he'll feature a lot, I think after this season, he'll find himself further down the pecking order and will only really feature if covering injury/suspension. That is all assuming McKenna leaves in this window of course.

I see that Cammy Kerr is out of contract at Dundee, not for one second advocating we go all out to sign him, but given Logan has agreed an extension and will likely remain our 1st choice RB, and Ball is a total clusterfuck at RB, could he not be brought in to keep Logan on his toes and even provide decent enough cover for Injury/Suspension? Doubt he'd cost too much wage wise and he's still relatively young. Also, Josh McEachran & Craig Bryson are also free, Bryson would maybe command too big a wage, but he's 32 now, might be content with 1st team football at a club like ourselves, and he's a very good footballer who would bring something to our team as well as aid the likes of Lewis Ferguson & Dean Campbell. Josh McEachran is left footed and also has decent enough pedigree, although he's fairly moved around in England, maybe a break away from down there and a fresh start up here could kick him on a bit? Could finally replace Kenny McLean? These are obviously just suggestions and what I'd like to see, particularly someone like Bryson, I think that would be an excellent addition and we could still get a few seasons out of him.
