Slim

Lafferty is fucking pish, I don't understand why the OF are desperate to sign him.

Fucks sake

People are gullible morons. There was a thread posted on an inferior site yesterday saying all of this and that he was spotted at Aberdeen Airport at the weekend, yes, during Euro 2008

Aye, if we don't finish 3rd or win the cup, we're looking at a late June/early July UEFA Cup match. A summer European trip to somewhere in a warm climate would be fantastic though.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/scot_prem/7455631.stm Good news, assuming a team in the top 4 wins the Scottish Cup, that means 5th place in the league will qualify for Europe. Surely that's incentive enough to strengthen the squad to a decent standard?

Theo was the best servant to us, Gillhaus was the most talented.

Hewitt just worked for them as far as I know, works at Talisman now.

Didn't say which record was broken though...

Team Recruitment according to the official site.

Wait until you see Dundee Utd's new sponsor, it's the chav range of clothing at JD Sports, Carbrini.

Zaboub was on trial here a year or 2 a go and wasn't good enough to earn a contract. Sounds bollocks to me. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/low/football/teams/a/aberdeen/5277456.stm

I don't think any Aberdeen players deserved to be in the AFC team of the year let alone the SPL team of the year.

That'll probably be the away strip.

The seam above the logo looks untidy and unnecessary. Not a fan, but I'm not overly bothered either, I don't wear football strips and how fashionable our players look isn't a huge concern.

Looking at the Nike teamwear site too, it seems like this varsity shirt is one of the cheapest off the shelf designs in the range too. I don't like it. And I know this probably won't be a popular opinion, but I don't like having stars above the crest, I think it cheapens our achievements. It's a case of jumping on a bandwagon to piggy back the Italians who do it out of genuine tradition. Man City have got stars on the crest just because it looks "continental". To me, it's a bit like saltire tattoos. I don't need a tattoo to be patriotic and I don't need stars to show how proud I am of our achievements as a club.

I don't think he'd stay if we offered to double his salary after the way he's been treated by Calderwood.

Haven't heard Aberdeen mentioned even once.

I'm Scott Severin. I saunter about in front of the defence playing outrageous forward passes and rarely break sweat. If I was fit that is. I break sweat bending town to tie my laces.

Dundee Utd are trying to sign Gow and Charlie Adam on loan according to the papers this morning.

Didn't we go damn close to repeating the "freak moment of success" the following season?

When he was the lone striker at Tannadice up against Lee Wilkie and Garry Kenneth on his own in the game where he was slaughtered afterwards by Calderwood for not doing enough, he outmuscled Kenneth to win a penalty when most strikers would have been forgiven for thinking chasing the ball was a lost cause and produced an excellent defence splitting pass to put Nicholson through one on one with the keeper. Unfortunately Nicholson fluffed both opportunities. It looks like Lovell is going to get the same treatment as Stavrum, unfairly labelled as lazy. I've seen Mackie have just as much, if not more, matches where he's looked disinterested and couldn't be bothered.

With a manager who knew how to get the best out of him, a system that suited his style of play and some excellent players around him, Lovell could easily be one of the best strikers in the SPL. Hasn't really worked out at Pittodrie for him, but he seems like a nice guy, has only ever had good things to say about the club, even when things haven't gone his way, so I wish him all the best and hope he can find a club where he feels more at home.

He's playing for a team in the Norwegian 2nd tier, just promoted from the 3rd tier, Nybergsund.

Motherwell supporter I asked said that he always runs out of steam after about an hour and will likely be in the headlines more for what he gets up to off the pitch, especially at Aberdeen where he'll be under a biggers spotlight. If Foran's the only striker we sign, we're in for a long difficult season. Bossu sounds garbage, lets not forget Jim Leighton highly rated Ryan Esson as a goalkeeper.

It's another case of signing players who aren't bad instead of signing players who are good. He's a steady enough player, but he's not going to influence games. That's fine up to a point, but I'm worried that these types of players are going to soon outnumber the talented first name on the teamsheet types. I'm worried we're going to end up with 20 squad players and the starting 11 each week is decided through a paper, scissors, stone round robin tournament every Friday afternoon. Having said that, I'm far more comfortable signing Duff as a squad player than I am signing Foran as a first team player.
