Got a text from a mate saying we have signed Darren Young on a pre-contract today. I see the same rumour is running on mad at the moment from a text. Anyone else heard the same thing, or able to please quash this!

Some of you may have noticed I'm a JC supporter but even I'm wondering if he's doing it deliberately now.

 

I actually said from the start that I thought Deek would be an ok signing and he's been just that.

 

As a standalone signing I wouldn't be too unhappy with the elder Young but in context I think Calderwood would be taking a huge risk by living up to his characature in signing him.

 

Whatever, I can't see JC lasting the season anyway. Regardless of our signings or performance.

I agree completely Bilbo.

I hope so Bilbo 

Signing Young would be an embarrassment! No thanks.

Of course he is. He was "advised" by his boss some time ago NOT to go to East End Park for his signings, it's not put him off though has it?

Not to add more napalm to our little village but Stevie Crawfords a free agent at the end of the season  

 

 

Scott Morrison anyone? 

Scott Morrison anyone? 

 

What about Muirhead? in fact, let's just get Pele back...

Falkirk not exactly loving john stewart either and he did rip us apart 2 weeks back

 

So lets start the list of the 12 that are probably in JC's sights

 

Darren Young

Ryan Esson

John Stewart

Stevie Crawford

Scott Morrison

Phil Mcguire

Paul Sheerin

Scott Muirhead

Steven Payne

Ivo Den Beeman

Guido Van der Camp

Lindsay Hamilton

Scott Thomson

 

 

 

This could actually be true

I used to think you were alright Tom...

are we not maybe jumping the gun in our possible suicide

 

Darren Young may just have been re-newing his season ticket. After all he seemed to be spending the majority of his weekends at dons matches this season.

If only he'd paid for those tickets... it might have been the difference in getting David Rowson ahead of him....

I might get a t-shirt printed for next season, dedicated to the Youngs. I haven't decided on the message, any ideas ?

We hate Dunfermline

What's the point of all these scouting missions that JC is on if his signings are all out of his mobile phone address book?

Not an inspiring signing, but he's a better player than his brother, and his brother has surprised many of us this year.

 

I disagree. Derek was the more committed player. Sure, Darren had the skill, but he very rarely used it. He was made to look better than he was because Roberto Bisconti was basically nursing Darren through the Aberdeen midfield. When Bisconti stopped playing for us, Darren was found out for the shite that we knew he always was. And when the chips were down, he "did a Severin" and started blaming others.

 

At least Derek keeps his head up when the shit is hitting the fan. He always seems to try his best regardless of how shite everyone else is doing at the time.

 

The only contract I will be happy to see Darren sign is one that says "I hereby agree to never set foot in Aberdeen again".

Aberdeen are poised to sign Darren Young and Mark Burchill after the pair leave Dunfermline. (Scotland on Sunday)

Aberdeen don't. Just don't.

Let's all start praying that this isn't the case! Like someone else said, though I'd be more surprised if it didn't happen.

oh  FFS

 

That's hardly a bright new future, is it?

Aye.. moving back to Scotland this autumn and it looks as if, almost seven years on, I'll be going back to watching Ryan Esson and the Youngs in Dons shirts.

 

Any room for David Rowson whilst we're at it?

So its your fault then

I find this a bit o a nightmare.  After years in the doldrums with pish managers playing pish players, we fianly manage to get out of the spiral and look to a new future, in the top six, cup runs and back into Europe. Now in HALF A SEASON that looks to be flushed down the pan. Back to terrible goal differences, inconsistent form and most notably of all, a COMPLETE lack of quality in the entire team.  If these signings are true, this will be one massive step backwards with regards to the mentality of the powers that be at Pittodrie. At this point in time we have failed to do what any other team would have done and that is to build on the quality that was present last season.  It will take Calderwood his entire three years to rebuild to somewhere close to where we were. Fair enough, we werent exactly sorted in every department last season, but we had enough quality in the backbone of the team that one or two places could be filled in with "make do players".

 

 

If this is the standard of signing hat is going to be made in the close season I will become very worried indeed.

Great post min, my sentiments exactly.

 

January they pulled the plug on the season.  Short changed the fans thinking they'd be happy with their little lot.

 

Cunts.

BBC rumour column again...

 

Oldham midfielder Gary McDonald is wanted by Aberdeen. (Daily Star)

 

This is the boy that scored against someone in the cup this year, can't remember who - used to play for Killie.

 

Don't really know enough about him to comment to be honest.

 

EDIT: It was Everton.
