McLaughlin also reporting that Rangers offered £1million which Milne turned down. McInnes meeting with Milne today, where he hopes that is wont come to him having to resign. Also reports that McInnes and Docherty wont take training today.

Hopefully The Rangers come back today, pay what we want and we can get this put to bed once and for all. If any of the talk f McInnes talking to The Rangers for a few weeks now behind the scenes is true, then get rid.

Lets hope this gets finalized today instead of dragging out even further.

RIP Zero. Have his autograph safely tucked away at home. Met him whilst he was bowling at Cadonas.

The difference between the Sunderland offer and now is of course the timing, Sunderland speculation and then offer came in during the close season and The Rangers smack dab in the middle of it and I think its clear to see it has caused unrest in the team and of course the fans. I think people are also looking too much in to Milnes comments the other week. At that point links with The Rangers and West Brom were speculation, there was nothing concrete on the table. Of course McInnes wasnt going to go into a meeting with the chairman and say 'Milne my man, I am leaving mate' with no other offers on the table.

I should have added that I hope Milne doesn't accept any form of installments for the compensation, money up front or no deal. To heck with accepting an IOU from that lot.

Hopefully The Rangers make their move early doors this week if they do want him so we can get line drawn under it all and so AFC can kick on and move on if need be. Personally, if McInnes is to go then I am not even bothered about it to be honest, I think fresh ideas and a fresh approach would be a good thing for the club at the moment. My only concern is the board. If The Rangers do come calling, will they hold firm and make sure we get the correct fee required for McInnes. Also will they get the next managerial appointment right if McInnes does leave.

Once again we show The Old Firm too much respect and they roll us over. Personally my patience with McInnes trying to find out best starting XI and tactics to best utilize the squad that he has has now run very thin.

I think if The Rangers come calling, he may very well go. However I doubt they will come knocking, Dave King can crack all his piggy banks and I very much doubt they would even come close to the compensation needed to even talk to McInnes. On a personal side you can see the appeal for McInnes, his family live outside of Glasgow, he has a history with the club. On the football side of things he would be making a huge mistake IMO if he leaves for The Rangers. Would he get the time to try and overcome Celtic?? I dont think so.

I think he would be off his rocker to even consider taking that job. To be honest, I would say that compensation for McInnes must now sit around £1.5 Million, have Sevco even got that sort of cash to throw around??

Arnason needs a chance, I mean we are awful at the back as it is, so be as well give him a couple of games. I think we will see a CB come in on loan before the window shuts.

Really pleased we have got Stevie on board, on a 4 year deal too! Fingers crossed he can regain the for he had at St Johnstone, if he does then we are on to a winner.

Give Storey a run of games, there is definitely a player in there and his running and pace up top could be the type of thing we need at the moment. Stockley should be shipped out ASAP.

Apologies, Reynolds did not head the ball across his own goaline, it was more into the centre of his own box.

A laboured win but a win none the less and it is good to kick the League season off with 3 points. Wright was excellent I thought, he had a real willingness to have a run at at players and wasnt afraid to try something a little different to get passed them. This lad will be a real talent and I really hope he gets more game time this season. I see a few Dons fans attacking Arnason, yeah he had a few dodgy touches, one of which did force Lewis in to a save, but I am not going to label the guy a failure just yet, I think he will come good, he just looked a little rusty yesterday. O'Connor was outstanding aswell I thought, he seemed to have a couple of wobbles when Reynolds came on, who was a total bombscare when he did. I mean he headed the ball across his own goaline at one point. I still think another CB should be on the summer shopping list. Tansey played well I thought, Shinnie unlucky to get booked so early on as that sort of stiffled him for the rest of the game. Glad to see Storey score and he did take the goal well. Should have been on for Maynard a lot earlier in the game though, Maynard so far in my opinion has offered us nothing upfront, sure he may still be getting up to speed and I really hope that is the case. As it stands though, a new striker is a must, whether its Moult or May.

Evening Express must have contacted Arnason or his reps, they are now refusing to comment on the speculation.

Daily Record Sport now reporting the same in regards to Arnason, similar line, verbal agreement is in place for him to join us subject to medical.

Extremely dodgy source but thanks to the power of Google Translate, I think this Cypriot Sports Website is claiming that Arnason is on his to us pending a medical. It says Omonia tried for several days to convince him to stay but he wants to go. http://goal.philenews.com/podosfero/kypros/a-katigoria/omonia/fevgi-me-metagrafi-o-arnason/

GMS a fantastic buy in my opinion. If Derek can get the same form that he showed at Dundee Utd then we have a real player on our hands and if we really only paid £150k, bargain!! Latest media reports linking us with Arnason again and it seems Moult wants to move to us and has Motherwell to accept a bid from us if the money is right.

Fantastic news, One Shay Logan!

Being linked with a permanent deal for Mackay Steven this morning according to Chris McLaughlin - BBC He does say numbers dont add up though and a deal is very unlikely as it stands.

I saw a comment that the Croatian lad made Ash Taylor look like Maldini on Twitter yesterday. Doesnt sound very promising. Really dont know why we are wasting time with players who clear are not up to scratch.

He was meant to be signing for them, not done it yet though.

P&J reporting that both Maloney and May could stay in England. https://www.pressandjournal.co.uk/fp/sport/football/aberdeen-fc/1282729/aberdeen-transfer-targets-maloney-may-offered-fresh-opportunities-england/ Also seen talk on other Dons forums claiming we have offered a contract to Fraser Fyvie, probably someone on the ind up.

Evening Express reporting that Arnason would like to return to Aberdeen - BRING HIM HOME!!
