Firstly no intention to wind up Rico ( but it is a bonus) by starting this more than forty eight hours ahead of January window closing BUT as a squad we are all over the fucking place and even at this early stage I would imagine we all would have opinions on what need to happen over the summer.

Appreciate that certain things might be addressed in the remaining forty eight odd hours of the winter one BUT given our performance to date, coupled to us being manager less, I wouldn't stake any money on it

Thoughts lads and lassies

One down (hopefully).

Who’s gonna take a guy who’s highlight reel consists solely of him missing an open goal in a European game…

He was excellent at slowing down an attack and then playing a safe ball back to the full back. He was also highly proficient at rather than trying to hit the byeline, cutting inside to then lose the ball.

Aye, luckily for us there’s a massive market out there for players with that particular skillset *

Fuck sake

I know we were asking for strong defenders who knew the league 

but for fucks sake

And still looking at Watson apparently 

at this rate we will be asking them how much for their shitey pitch 

I think we are patently trying to weaken one of our relegation rivals for next season 😉

All joking aside, given the size of rebuild we face I am not overly surprised we are looking at this pair on free transfers.

Would willingly drop everything tomorrow and nip along to Killie to drive Watson up the road to sign a contract but just can't see that one happening

Agree with the Watson comment- think he will go elsewhere 

Lyons I think would actually be decent business, we need some leadership with Shinnie likely offski and he's Killie captain and 28.  

Mayo is a rabid hun I believe so that's not a great start, couldn't comment on his ability 2bh.

@tlg1903 What's the craic in Sneckie regarding Shinnie 🤔

I'm actually out of the country at the moment Al but I've heard talks are ongoing with him and ict

I do know his missus has always wanted to come home once his career is done

Surely not on holiday before heading to the States 

You are patently earning too much money 😉

Does Shinnie not have a hoose by Nairn but stays down in Aberdeen in a flat midweek? 
May be that he also wants the family time and minutes on the pitch

I am actually, away for a dual family birthday in Lanzarote.  I can only afford this and particularly America cos I inherited some money recently.  In fairness I've not had a proper holiday since 2016 so I feel like I've earned this a wee bit 2bh

Flying back tomorrow but thanks mate, I've had a lovely time with family and feel more relaxed than I have in a long time

Sounds like he doesn't want to take too much of a wage cut if he's not going to be playing as much but will do if he's starting every week

I was told this before he came back and it was common knowledge that his Wife and kids were back north, whilst he was still at Derby.

I‘m sure he’s based in Portlethen and has a young daughter playing with the girls football team in the town.

Could be min.  At the moment there isn't much parts of Aberdeen or Aberdeenshire where Shinnie hasn't got a house/flat at the moment.

I know his cousin, but haven't spoken to her, since his return, and I am not convinced his Cousin knew much more than what we actually do, which is very little if anything at all.

Lyons strikes me as the type of signing McInnes used to make. A guy that played really well in a couple of games against him two years prior, but to anyone else that was watching, hadn't done anything since. A bit Greg Tansey. I'm all for pragmatic signings, of course, but this one doesn't quite do it for me. Feels like its one that bypasses the recruitment model too, which is fine in some sense, but it does seem kind we're back to square one if this goes through.

My thoughts exactly, strategically trying to weaken our closest rivals 😵‍💫
