As always seems to happen, new managers will bring in players they have worked with before. Out of the names currently being touted, who will be able to get in the best players? I know he has had a good couple of months, but my biggest fear is we go for Jim Jeffries and end up seeing Kevin Kyle in a Dons top!! Do we also really want half of the Falkirk team ending up at Pittodrie. Remember what happened when Patterson started bringing in players he believed could make the step up?? Leigh Hinds, Bryan Prunty ....... sorry have to stop ... can't see what i'm typing through the tears

I can play up front - doesn't mean i'm any good and deserve to be in the squad! But what I was getting at is every manager will always bring in players he trusts regardless of the squad he has inherited, cos he thinks they deserve to be at any club. So I opened up the debate to see what players people thought potential managers would end up bringing in

Dnipro, Celtic at Parkhead. 

 

Even a blind squirrel can find a nut.

Just the very words 'John Hughes', 'Yogi' and 'Aberdeen Football Club' should not be in the same sentence.

Precisely. We'd me making a Boo Boo if we let him in charge.

Jesus H Christ. John Hughes even being mentioned by folk on here as a potential manager of AFC makes me feel nauseous.

 

Be afraid, be very afraid

Jagerdeen, you seem very sure of yourself that it won't be Hughes or Ferguson.  Has your source told you who we have been trying to bring in?? or has he just been laughing off the candidates listed on here?

I'd be gutted if the new manager turns out to be a former (Park) Ranger. Having said that, Yogi does seem to be smarter than the average (teddy) bear.

I like what you did there But I don't think it says much when you are comparing him to another "bear". He certainly doesn't sound like the sharpest tool in the box!

Anyone with any (realistic) hopes of who we could bring in over the summer?

 

What positions?  Back up Jim Jeeper, right back? Winger? Centre forward?

I like Taioul (sp?) at Killie.

 

Him wide right with Sone on the left with Kerr and McDonald in the middle would be amazing.

He does look a good player the times i've seen him. Ripped us to pieces in the cup.

 

One centre half will have to be brought in I'd imagine with Mair and most probably Seve on the way out.  Would be interesting to see if McGhee (or whoever else in case the arse falls out that deal) sees Zander and Considine as the long term partnership or if a first choice centre back will be brought in.
