I'd need to know more about whether you're hand washing or using a dishwasher for your cups before making conclusions on the alleged quality decline of cups over the years.

"The more I practice, the luckier I get" - Sam Cosgrove (possibly)

I remember the feedback being he was very raw but also very coachable, trained hard, listened, etc.

That'll be the difference between him and your Laurent D'Jaffos.

Seems to have suffered a bit after being scouted and signed as a winger by Birmingham but looks like he's carved out a decent enough career as a role player off the bench to win/hold up the ball in the final third at a fairly decent level.

Not too dissimilar to Josh Magennis I suppose, although he seemed to kick on and improve more after leaving us.

1/4th winger, 4th choice winger, I'll take that.

Breda appear to have paid EUR 800k upwards. He would’ve been our 4th choice winger. Probably best we didn’t get tempted into a bidding war.

Aye-you-chee-chay?

Looks like he suffered from the exceptionally poor piece of luck that the manager he fell out of favour with at Lorient was then appointed manager at his new club Sunderland.

It’ll be interesting to see how/if Alfie Bavidge fits in. I read somewhere that he tended to play in a deeper role, or even out wide, rather than the main no. 9 at both Ayr and ICT.

2 year deal doesn't bode too well for a sell on clause, or suggest that Ross County see him as a future superstar, unless the player is so confident in his own ability that he wasn't willing to commit longer.

Mmm, article from April this year stating Celtic were interested in him amongst others but the most intriguing part of that is the fact that Brentford had allegedly already bid THREE MILLION EUROS for him.

Would be surprised if this were true, that three months later we got him for a sixth of that fee 

Would fit the same way we got Miovski if I remember correctly. Linked with bigger clubs, current team gets relegated and in financial crisis, we swoop in with cut price deal.

I'm guessing his relatively poor stats in Ligue 2 has somewhat reduced his value also.

Is it a coincidence that it's the same colour of lucky heather?

I like the addition of the two wee guys at the back, so short that you can’t see their shirts, in a photo shoot to promote their shirts.

Reminds me of a recent Bayern Munich kit.

Is Vinnie the only player left from the McInnes era? Was McInnes still here when he signed? Obviously, discounting Shinnie, who was then wasn't here, and is again. We've got zero long term players once Shinnie returns.

He was a Glass/Robson era signing wasn't he? Seem to remember him being brought in as a replacement for Ryan Hedges and the result being assists for Ramirez completely drying up and Ramirez being accused of downing tools because his close friend Glass (who he hadn't met until 6 months prior) got sacked.

“My career will probably last for another 10 years, and I cannot predict the future, but I do not rule out the possibility of wearing Aberdeen’s shirt again one day," he said.

Good enough for me, let's get these Atlanta cunts to prove their worth. Sign him then 3 year loan to us.

Anywhere not stabby and ideally accessible using conventional airlines. Any ex-Soviet countries can get fucked.

Dorrington well up for coming back:

 ”Obviously, I love the city, I love the club, the staff, the players. I love Tottenham as well. They’re kind of in charge of what I do.

“I’d be grateful if Aberdeen came back in for me but it’s all in Tottenham’s hands.”

We would probably need to lose one of Tobers or Milne (or even Devlin) to make it work unless we plan to go to a back 3 more often. 

Considering he'd barely played a first game game when he came to us in January, you could see the improvement as the remainder of the season went on, I could see him being a vital piece in our team next season if he returned. 

I have not been convinced by Tobers so far, although that's perhaps a little unfair.

Great atmosphere in the town. Not sure the procession needed the coach and 2 ambulances following it though.

What does this mean for Europe?

Group stages baby, Hibs have Hibsed finishing 3rd.

So, far we gan?

McGregor in tears is delicious.

Regretting having Clarkson off instead of Palaversa when we had those 2 corners in injury time.

That’s… interesting 

If Celtic score an early goal or two, are we going to see some first half subs?

Pedigree and track record go a long way. Skovdahl was still popular with the fans despite finishing bottom of the table.
