  1. Key positions needing addressed are still Rb and GK imo.

     

    You thinking as a back up for Langfield? In watching him this year (albeit sparingly as I am on the wrong side of the atlantic) he seems to be doing well in goals.

     

    RB ... well you can never have too much defending.

     

    Still think more fire power up front is the need. Derosario from DC United would be my target.

  2. Starting Formation: 4-3-3

     

     

    1. Jamie Langfield

    16. Isaac Osbourne

    4. Russell Anderson

    22. Mark Reynolds

    3. Clark Robertson

    18. Stephen Hughes

    5. Gavin Rae

    7. Chris Clark

    20. Ryan Fraser

    9. Scott Vernon

    10. Niall McGinn

    Still looks like a strong side for Aberdeen

  3. Attn MR BROWN!

    Now that you have let Mike Paton go you have room for a proven striker.

     

    I give you the name of a seasoned veteran with consecutive seasons of league scoring title hunt. International Player. Has trained with Celtic.

     

    The name: DWAYNE DE ROSARIO

  4. Part of the problem, though, if I'm believing what I hear, is that a lot of the frontage of Pittodrie (main and Merkland) is "listed"?

     

    By "listed" I take you mean Historical Monument or something? You can reference Toronto's Air Canada Centre (built to include the Historical #1Post Office building.

  5. You guys are being too quick to press the panic button.

    While I agree 4 games without a goal is a bit of a dry spell but how many have we conceded in the same spell?

    Good chances are coming our way and when the strikers hit their form lookout!

     

    another 2 or 3 games before I get to the rubbish point.

  6. That's what I am saying, Re-Do Pittodrie. No asset lost. By breaking the project down into chunks the club can run things over as many phases as it likes. In looking at a few stadia one could easily find ways to put in restaurants and or pubs that could be open to the public year round and help pay back the cost of construction. No easy feat that's true but give it a whirl.

     

    I actually saw on Football Factories where 1 club in Austria(I think?) has leased out a pub to its biggest supporters' club and the place is always busy...

     

    Like I said, come up with a way to make it work!

    My Highschool Economics class came up with a way to save our local drive in theatre (and it worked). Surely the Dons Supporters can come up with a way to capitalize and construct the new Pittodrie.

  7. Just my 2 pence worth.

     

    Aberdeen & Toronto both play in similar size stadia. Toronto re-did the north end this past off season and it was ready for the start of the season. My thought is could Pittodrie be redone  in a similar way; one stand at a time over 4-6 years?

    OK you Aberdeen Uni Engineering students, you now have your homework for the entire semester. Come up with a way to make it work!

  8. As an aside, anyone know where Dazzler has gone since his contract ended? Did I miss his signing for someone else? Hell if O'Dea can get an MLS gig surely Mackie could?

    Not so Fast! O'Dea has come to Toronto FC... The team that occupies the MLS Basement!

  9. FFS Willie get a grip min

     

    Small steps are all that can be expected.

     

    Finishing fourth or fifth would be progress.

     

    Reckon Howkers, Arabs, St Johnstone and one of either Murderwell or Farts will finish ahead of us.

     

    That's the thing about being on the eve of the 1st game of the season. All the "glass half fullers" are singing loudly about the great battle that is to come. The "glass half empty" crowd are drinking in the corners.

     

     

    :AFC2: As for me, I am on the optimistic side and agree that players should be able to go to Celtic Park thinking "We CAN Win Here"!
