Two years left on his deal if memory serves? Should be collecting at least a couple of mill for him if he goes

Bolton Wanderers, managed by former Celtic manager Neil Lennon, and Leeds United, whose manager, Uwe Rosler, had Niall McGinn at Brentford, are weighing up a summer move for the 27-year-old Aberdeen forward, who is likely to be tempted by any offer. (The Sun, print edition)

Agreed tyrant, complacency in front of goal has been a big problem this season. That said I do have some sympathy with the original point, we can be a bit of a one trick pony attacking from the flanks. That we've Iacked true guile since jess left is still an accurate statement imo, I see eremenko is leaving killie, worth a look maybe.

Said without the slightest hint of irony

Interestingly Theo Snelders is leaving his goalkeeping coach role with FC Twente....... Edit. From further research it would appear Twente are in the shit financially and that is why he has been let go. I imagine Theo to be a very progressive coach, when the passback rule was introduced Snelders adapted to it better and more easily than any other keeper in the league if memory serves. Moment I heard this it instantly felt like the right move. Been coaching at a good level, knows and loves the club (I mind him speaking quite enthusiastically of wanting to see an Aberdeen win over Groningen), there's a symmetry in him taking over from Leighton just as he did in nets, available on a free and the club likely given a huge lift by legends return. By that I mean giving a club legend his jotters always leaves a nasty taste in the mouth. Bringing Snelders in would be a great mouthwash IMO

What I wouldn't give for a keeper barely worth tying those threes shoelaces now

Aye the gulf in standard between them is massive now. Pdc is clearly where it's all at but it has to be said the lakeside still looks a more enjoyable venue than the pdc events. I would actually prefer to watch at home than go to the cavern that is the o2

I've got right into darts the past year, both playing and watching. Premier league semi finals and final were amazing to watch tonight. Anderson stealing the semi against Chisnal had me cheering as much as an injury time winner for the dons. Are any donstalkers regular players and/or watchers of the game?

Aye let's get the goalkeeper with no coaching experience, no coaching badges as well as limited goalkeeping ability try and bring on and improve the next generation. Just naw I think JL has been shifted as his goalkeeping style is a bit prehistoric now. Put it this way he was never one for coming off his line. Clangers will likely be gone by the end of the transfer window

Hibs can, and I suspect probably will, bring this back, they were by no means inferior tonight.

Extended highlights just started on alba

Interestingly Taylor was put in the team of the year by both Tom English and Richard Wilson on wednesdays sportsound. I think he's improved and will continue to do so though the noises are that Culjak is going to be given game time, interesting to see where that leads re hebrews comments on CB. Jim Spence was saying yesterday he reckons we will make at least 3 signings this summer not including shinnie. Looking through the out of contract list the only player that stands out is Marley watkins, he could defo do a job for us.

Any keeper we get needs to be one that comes of the line quickly to allow the back line to push forward a bit more. It would really help us press teams further up the park

For Jack there are pro's and con's on both options. AFC are very much a club on the up. He is playing under a talented manager who see's him as the keystone to the team. Most of the squad are tied up on deals with one of the spfl team of the year players joining said squad in a months time. I also think he's canny enough to realise that another year at Aberdeen where he's playing every match would be no bad thing for his development. I'm not saying he's not ready to go, he's good enough no question, but, at 23, he can't afford to be sitting on a bench week in week out. He needs to go to a club where he will get plenty game time. Jack is one of the best cm's in the league but for the kind of clubs being discussed he needs to be the best cm in the league to have a decent chance at regular game time. Probably what's best for all parties (with say an everton size club if one were to bid) concerned would be to reach a good price for him then to get him back on loan for next season for no fee. Lets face it, there is no danger he is sticking around for anything longer than a year. This would ensure a fee, keep the player an extra season (hopefully at little cost), the player is happy his career is going in the right direction and the other club is happy that it's player is being given more development time in a positive environment with the prospect of getting a better player than they have paid for.

Did anyone listen to sportsound on wednesday night? You can donwload it as a podcast if you missed it. Doncaster was on with Wilson and English who gave him a bit of an inquisition, very interesting listen and Doncaster holds his own at times.

Surprised a bit about gibbons who has impressed me every time I have seen him (3-4 times) and I thought he was worth keeping on another year. Joesho was always likely to move on, I think he will have a reasonable career at a kilmarnock or st Johnstone type club and all the best him and to them all. Macmanus has done the right thing, never going to get in ahead of rooney, DG or Shankland anytime soon no matter how many he scored for morton so it makes sense for him to leave. Robson has played pretty well the past month or so and imo he still has a role to play. At no point in his career has his game ever been about pace and he should be treated as a sort of ginger sauzee. I would also add that i have noticed Jacks game improve after a bit of a dip since robson returned to the SLU. The experience he has is priceless in what is a squad with quite a low average age now and well worth another year.

Juve barca final, most likely a rout but it's not out of the question for juve to make a game of it

First thing that came to mind when I heard about this was " jotters for goodwillie then". It's a shame it's not really worked out for him because he is clearly a talented lad, he has the best first touch in the league for me

Hayes has really improved. Not so much in wing trickery but in his final ball, his delivery's are far more dangerous this season.

It was accountancy if memory serves

He's not really played many games in the same position so not so easy to judge him too harshly. Eg he started wide right yesterday. Personally I think his best position is CM and would really like to see him given a run of games alongside jack, they could have a good partnership, but i'm not too optimistic about my chances of seeing it for multiple reasons. He's not set the heather alight it's true but he's not been useless by any stretch of the imagination either so I think there's plenty of potential there. I'm going to hold of judgement until at least xmas, a pre season and a transfer window will refine the squad a bit by then.

Oh captain my captain

Not convinced he's particularly needed

I was really impressed by johansen the first halffof the season but he's not set the heather sight the past while.

As long as he doesn't go to fucking Celtic
