Derek Young has urged frustrated Aberdeen fans to be patient as manager Jimmy Calderwood attempts to rebuild his squad for the new season.

 

Several first-team regulars left Pittodrie at the end of the last season, with only a few new signings checking in so far.

 

Midfielders Gary McDonald and Sammy Stewart and goalkeeper Bertrand Bossu have been recruited, with Mark Kerr's move set to be completed after a medical this coming week.

 

Young knows supporters may have been alarmed at the sight of regulars - such as Barry Nicholson, Steve Lovell and Jackie McNamara - quitting the Dons but the midfielder has backed Calderwood fill the void left in the dressing room.

 

Speaking on RedTV, he said: "You get a bit wary when you see that many boys leaving but we have been doing a lot of training and running and the boys are looking really good.

 

"The young boys who have come into the team are showing fantastic ability. The new signings are a boost and I think it's looking well for next season.

 

"The manager has shown that he's not going to buy just anybody for the sake of it, he is looking for quality players, and I think the fans will be happy with the signings we have made so far.

 

"They are maybe a wee bit frustrated there are not more in at the moment but it's a long summer. You see how it happens in England too, scrambling right up until the last minute.

 

"The boys in the changing room aren't daft - we know the manager will get players in.

 

"From the fans' point of view, they maybe want everything a bit too quickly but hopefully there will be quality signings coming in.

 

"I've got no doubts about that."

Looking back on some old videos of our old games, I see your Thor Kirstensen and raise you Haruldur Ingolfsen. He looked like a pile of steaming horse manure 

 

Dont get me wrong that would defo be my strike force, but sorry kirstensen wins hands down for me. the safest place to sit in the standium was next to the goalkeeper!

God, he was atrocious. That was Alex Miller, eh? Remember seeing him at Ibrox and he ran the ball out of play about 3 times when no one was near him and he seemed in complete control of the ball. At least both Kristensen and Ingolfson only played a handful of games.

Brian O'Neill was a disaster!!! Who signed him again??

Aitken i think aitken or miller

Brian O'Neill was a disaster!!! Who signed him again??

 

Maybe so, and probably more to do with the expectations surrounding the price we paid for him, but sadly, he'd walk into the current Dons midfield.

 

Make of that what you will.

Roy Aitken signed him. £800k.

 

Jesus wept.

We all did mate, we all did 

why was the "missing pieces" thread locked?

Wasn't me, but probably because of all the utter pish that Fatjim and have been speaking in the last two days.

It would be interesting to see how many people are being blocked at work, because the posting has reduced dramatically over the last couple of days...

why was the "missing pieces" thread locked?

 

 

Because thread after thread is being murdered by rubbish being posted. Such as "Pussy." up the page there a bit. Wasn't me who locked it either but I'm going to start doing it.

Sounds like Tyrant is going to clean up this town!

 

 

You could always just start another sub forum for members who want to wank off about spelling mistake, that might help

Indeed. I'm going to hit the ban button.

 

 

Once adam grows up. I'll stop baiting him.

 

No you won't.

Ooh tyrant is going to lock threads.

 

 

remember to dress up for it.

 

 

It's only noticeable because there is very little activity.

Mistakes plural.

 

 

 

CHOMP

He'd walk right back out of it as well. Do not agree at all on that.
