MY by the pool or by the fax line is now vindicated. Who uses fax ? MMG does obviously.

apologies for an outdated choice of medium

If we've been tracking 100+ players over the last few months why are things so quiet. I fear that by the time the budget is settled there'll be little activity( sorry productivity ) achieved. Has anyone heard of anything going on at pittodrie or has everyone buggered off on their jollies.. After last season I expected 24/7 commitment to rectify the situation. Surely we could have tapped up a few already on pre contracts. Maybe a flurry on june 1st will make me look foolish( I hope it does ) but the club just seem to be too quiet of late. P.s Keigan parker to be released, does anyone know if he's still any good?

is Cave Brown not a scotland junior international, sure he was in u19 world cup squad and from what I remember of the telly games was a very handy player. If he is who I think he is we should jump at it. Johnny Macken might just stilll do a job for us, may just be his level. Anderson Silva of barnsley I've seen in cup game on TV and looked pretty effective in midfield. Creative and willing to have a go. Something we currently don't have. Finally Volz has been released, played in scotland before and a solid player. could help shore up the back, sadly plays in fosters spot, I'd kinda miss the wee guy.

Cregg could just be the ," boot in " tough midfield winner we're crying out for. Not a bad ball player either. I'd take him over what we have in a heartbeat. I can only assume Falkirk can't afford to pay him, which begs the question. Can we??

Scobie's a great shout if no fee was required. Flynn's a live wire but the game controller we're screaming for

FANTASTIC shot stopper and still young, would be more than a replacement for langfield. That'd be good business in my view.

I reckon if Mclean stays he'd score a load from the problems kyle would cause defences (mclean is a poacher but currently the ball's never in the box ), I like kyle and think an experienced front 2 would do us the world of good. we could cause serious problems to teams with our youngsters flooding into the box behind that pairing. p.s Kerr wouldn't be my holding choice but could do worse

spot on Maverick, summed up the general feeling beautifully, until they make an effort they can poke it.

" given the dressing room " 4 little words right in the middle which say it all. He knows they don't give a fuck, he can't make them do so and is resigned to them dragging him along until the campaign ends. Grow some balls man!

12 for me too and in agreement with most above, with exception of langfield. has his moments but a serious bottler when it matters. Lack of faith in him must hurt the defence. youngsters, diamond and foster were the only easy decisions to make

I know I said give him til christmas but suddenly I feel a retraction coming upon me. Just make them play like some sort of professional team Mark. Money is a matter for summer, piss poor, disjointed efforts are straight from the training ground and that lies with the gaffer (and leitch). Get it together boys!!

tries too hard to be posh from the west end, comes across clueless as a result. Just speak in your normal voice and give the boys a kick up the arse

Foster for me, only for his honest endeavour if nowt else.

wow!!! it's like telepathy. You just seem to know what I thought before I thought it..

can anyone remember the last time we had presence at all. I think it's way back with shearer, or possibly bisco. this has been aberdeen's fundamental problem for as long as I can remember.

surely we could plunder the new EU countries like Poland/Slovakia etc. these boys can't be on a fortune! You only need to look at our pumping from sigma to see that a few must be worth a look. Saving us paying CC League 1&2 dross fortunes.

reckon he'll shift 5 or 6, promote 4 from the youth set up and bring in a couple of his own iffy signings. I'd love to say we could sign a dozen, but from previous windows I'll stick with the above. Painful as it is I fear I won't be far wrong.

was not at hamilton and have never abused any of our players ( somewhat counter productive ) Agreed consistency may come (2 yrs and counting ) but he's not likely to grow a foot or put on 3 stone and this is where the issue lies for me. At his size you need to be a terrier in our league, Sone has all the skill in the world but is more poodle. Never wins a header, rarely wins a tackle (or puts in ) and 3 times out of 5 loses balls needlessly. Capable of brilliance but more often a complete passenger. That's why I'm not too bothered if he leaves, anyway who'd he go to? DUNDEE??

i remember us qualifying through good fortune rather than guile and skill. My memory's not all it used to be but I'm fairly sure I failed to notice the immense display that day. Europe I have to give you, but we always raise our game when we are the underdog.remember under mmg we've beat the huns and drew 4-4 with the other ugly sister.

lightweight and half hearted, Paton's twice as productive when played wide. Lets not be held to ransom by a boy who's only really performed in the bayern game.

been stuck on the islands this week, but please tell me someone else seen the killie fan's post on the hotline ( daily record) I'm sure it was Tuesday if not monday. Basically read, fed up with JC, plays our players out of position, benches our best defenders to play others there and if he's there next season I won't be! Wish I'd remembered it on tuesday before I left. Straight run of defeats for killie now. This could have been written by any dons fan a year ago. Funny how absence makes the heart grow fonder. Yes we are pish just now, but try to remember that we were also pish then. lets give the boss a chance and then moan at christmas if he doesn't take it.

Jesus wept, 4 games since he left and we'd consider a return

I liked the bit where if they were all on new 3yr deals they'd be ripping into everything. OR as is more likely they'd do bugger all as their cushy numbers were even easier. If they don't try when due for renewal, why would they try when their pay is guaranteed for 3 yrs? Wasn't sure if he was having a dig at the club for not resigning the shite we currently tolerate. Hopefully just giving those that think they'll get better offers a kick on the ass. Also I'd love to know who these diddy's think will be queuing up to offer them deals.

I reckon he'll step into the job just after Aluko lights up the world cup for nigeria and man city beg us to give them Marshall back
