Meh.

Over the past few weeks a few posters on AFC Chat seem to think Jack to Sevco is a done deal. It wouldnt surprise me if this is where The Sun got there info from

I would like see O'Connor played with Considine or Reynolds, it is hard to judge anyone in defence when they get partnered with the bomb scare!

McInnes should have the entire first team squad locked in a room today and they should be made to sit and watch the last 15 minutes of yesterdays game on repeat for about 6 hours straight!

Sore one to take this. When you create a chances bit dont take them, you of course open yourself up to a sucker punch and thats what happened. What really disappoints me though is how we then just folded after the first goal. We just went to pieces. It always seems to be the big games with a bit of hype around them that the players just seem to buckle. Big game against St Johnstone now. Always a tough fixture this one, even tougher after yesterday.

It was a horrific miss for sure, one of the worst I have seen. Personally I think he is a decent player, it just hasn't worked out for him with us and I would imagine he will be moved along in the summer.

A tight match, always expected that against Caley though. A good three points in the bag, also puts more pressure on Newco tonight against Killie. Storey....

Touche

Officially, yeah maybe not. However what No Kingsford did do was campaign to entice people to petition against the Kingsford Stadium by using the some of the arguments I mentioned to stir up a bit of scare mongering. In my book, that is as good as coming from the horses mouth.

No worries on the serious front, we are all entitled to opinions and to share them. On the training facilities, if this is down to being misinformed on my part then I apologise, I thought the facilities were tied with the stadium, as in one would not happen without the other, do the club have a another plan in place for purpose facilities within the City if Kingford gets rejected?? Location, yep you are right I did use my own personal view on how I would get to the stadium. In the long term I think think if fans want to got to see Aberdeen at Kingsford then they will go. There will be enough parking spaces and I am fairly certain public transport links will be in place and have the Club not also mentioned a shuttle bus service?? In the long term, would a move to Kingsford harm the club, no I dont think it will. In terms of what the club does for the City, I think at this moment in time with the actual Football side of things being very positive, it gives the City a bit of boost! Heck I am certainly in a better mood when the Dons win! Add to that continuous years of European Qualification, one cup final this season and the possibility of another, I think personally it gives the City a bit of a lift. Also financially, I am sure after a home match, people will spend time in pubs and food outlets and spend money, ok you could argue that if the stadium moves to Kingsford, would people still do this in the City Centre, my honest opinion is yes. In terms of my opinion, yes I do have one and yes I do tend to keep and quiet with it. I have had numerous opportunities to share my opinion on the stadium, be it via social media or even in person, I just choose not to as a good % of the time it leads to some form of debate, but yep you are right, I have broken my usual vow of silence on the matter here in this thread. I do like to think I have taken a good look at the proposed plans, I have seen what has been printed in the papers, watched what has been reported on TV, I even went along to the open event at Pittodrie, looked at the plans in person, asked a few questions and based my thoughts on that. I would never go to a person and tell that they should 'get behind' or 'vote for or against' anything, all I can do is share my thoughts on the matter, whether that is for, against, yes or no. I never said that the council should back Aberdeen FC, just that I hope they do. Which at the centre of it all is my honest opinion, I hope the Kingsord plans go ahead. You will probably read all that and think 'what a load of rubbish' to honest I probably wouldn't blame you.

Some interesting views in this thread. Personally, I am all for the new stadium, the club badly needs new facilities, not just the stadium but the training facilities are vital. Location wise, not really that bothered by the Kingford location, it wont be any different for me to hope in the car and swing round the AWPR to the new Stadium than it is currently for me to travel through the City Centre. I tend to keep quiet on this matter as I see no sense in debating the stadium with anyone, we all have varied views and we can go back and forth until we were blue in the face. One thing I will say, is that the No Kingsford Group, although raising some valid points, have also spouted a load of old rubbish at times. Blood on the streets, urinating through letter boxes, fans running riot, property values diminishing...have these people been to Pittodrie on a match day?!? I seriously hope when the time comes that the Aberdeen City Council sees what Aberdeen FC does for this City and back them to the hilt.

Good signing. His performances have picked up the past few weeks, maybe he knew his Dons deal was done Replacement for Jack??

Best of luck to him. Lets be honest, the most he was going to get from us if he signed a new deal was to be a bit part player from the bench. If a move to MK Dons will give him more game time then all the best to him.

Agree with all of this. The squad still needed improving even after the Summer transfer window closed, everyone could see it. For some reason however the club decided not to do it in January. Bemusing.

In terms of cover. At the moment we are operating a mix of Shinnie, Jack and McLean in central midfield, two of which arent even CM's. If one of them gets crocked then that leaves us with the bare bones in that area.

It will be an interesting day for sure. I think Hayes will stay now, really cant see Cardiff offering what we want. In terms of any arrivals, I think Stevie May was the last one in the fire but it looks like Preston are going to hang to him now. I would imagine that will be it for us in January. Would have been good to get a CM in, we are very light in that area with Storie going out this month.

Daily Mail reporting we want £1million for Hayes and that Cardiff's 3rd bid is in the region of £750k.

A few reports that Cardiff have submitted a new offer for Hayes worth £600k.

Twitter murmurs that The Rangers and Hearts have joined the race for Stevie May.

I personally think Christie is a good signing, very good player and I am sure he will do a job for us. In terms of tweets from 2012, I couldnt care less what he tweeted, I am more concerned about what he will do for us on the pitch between now and the summer. As others have said, this will to replace Maddison and good on McInnes for not waiting until the last minute to be told yes or no by Norwich.

The Express claim that we are set to complete a loan move for Ryan Christie. http://www.express.co.uk/sport/football/757956/Celtic-Transfer-News-Aberdeen-Ryan-Christie-James-Maddison

Not sure but I think that was the same site that first reported that Cardiff were after Hayes.

Don't they sell the AFC Whisky in the club shop?? Pretty sure I have seen it in there before.

Signed a new deal until 2019. http://www.afc.co.uk/news/9102.php#.WIXoOVXhCJA
