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 

Mayo and Lyons officially confirmed. Whether they pan out or not, still good to see business being done early.

I think this guy is finally going to be the one.

The next Ramadani would be quite something.

I’ve got to be honest, I thought Ramadani was shit. Same with Bisconti. I could never understand why fans liked them so much 

Looks like O’Hara isn’t coming now, so Briedal would certainly be a useful midfield addition if it happens.

As for the other two, good to see a right sided CH on board early, can also cover RB. Lets see what Lyons brings, decent Premiership experience so depth at the very least.

Welcome onboard to both…

Cannot say I like either of the two signings announced today but they are the type of players I feared Robinson would sign. Back to celebrating mediocrity. 

I'm quite happy with the signings.

The past few seasons, apart from the odd exception (Mitov), our sighing policy tends to be players who once had potential but haven't kicked a ball for three years due to injury/not being good enough, and we hang our hats on them suddenly rediscovering everything at Aberdeen.

Sometimes they spoil us a with a young player who their youth coach confidently predicts will be the next big thing (Keskinen, Milanovic). 

So I quite like signing guys that are fit and have proved they can play in the Premiership rather than more Palaversas and Lazetics.

Mediocrity would be a massive step up from the season just passed tbf…

More info on him if you're into that sort of thing:

Confirmed on a two-year deal.

This bit makes me a little bit excited.

The 24-year-old arrives after an impressive spell in his native Austria, where he established himself as an energetic and influential defensive midfielder.

Only 13??

Watch out Briedl's about!

Mayo is a hun. So I don't like him.

If we sign them all too soon it'll be a long 7 weeks of no chat or rumours before the league cup starts

There will be plenty of chat about how they aren't good enough/typical Robertson signing/ always injured/should have went for the guy from PSG/ etc Don't worry

Wow, I go out to golf with a client at the back of nine, eighteen holes later food and pints and we have three signings 😲

Welcome on board lads

I'm always glass half-full, and I'm reasonably happy with the two Killie 2. They might not be world beaters, but they're experienced, know the league and know what they are up against. WIll give some much needed back bone. We can likely do better, but could (and often do) do a lot worse - so welcome aboard lads. And they have both been very complimentary about us fans (of course). Etch your names into the history of the Dons.

Austrian lad sounds like he could be a good one. 

Don't let us down Stephen!

£500 per day and you've got a deal mate 👍

Was glass half empty with the Killie 2 but again read the arguments for and thought at least Mayo could be an upgrade on what we have

the Austrian lad will go one of 2 ways and hopefully he is the disciplined defensive midfielder we have needed

then my optimism sank when news said the deal to sign Olusanya was close

yes the lad can put himself about, is fast and did actually provide goals in some shape or form, but fuck me he isn’t a footballer

if you wanted chaos and strength we may as well try to get Pape back because he offered that and was more of a footballer and goal threat than Olusanya will ever be 

Edited May 28May 28 by 2stars

Squads are built in many ways so there’s a role for guys like olusanya imo.
