THIRTEEN Aberdeen FC players are facing the axe, the Evening Express can reveal today.

 

Manager Mark McGhee admitted he anticipates losing that many in a “natural cull†of his squad over the summer.

 

McGhee also revealed he has drawn up a list of 100 possible replacements for the players who do leave.

Anyone got an EE or able to pick out the faces from the thumbnail?

 

Top left - Aluko, Young?, Marshall?, ?, McDonald?

 

Right - Paterson, Mulgrew?, Duff, ?

 

left - ifil?, Grassi, ?, Mackie?

Yesterday they publish a story quoting Dingus as saying he was open to the chance Grassi, Young and Duff could prove themselves but today it's as though he's suddenly changed his mind again.

 

Do the EE actually have a sports editor to coordinate the stories or are they just desperately useless?

[Slim]

Didn't they do a similar story 2 years ago and it led to a boycott of the EE by the club?

All it say's is 13 Aberdeen players. That could involve youth players getting let go also.

Thought McGhee wanted Kerr to stay?  Some of these players are McGhee's signings.

I think they've just picked any 13 players.

Would definitely keep Young for another couple of seasons - gives 100% every time and can't be costing that much.

 

Also Aluko if he is just pish just now cos he aint fit yet...

 

Mackie for nostalgia...

 

And the rest... meh...

I for one welcome a cull, too many folk hanging around our club and not appearing to contribute much. It'll probably be best for the club and for the players in the long run.

 

Glad to see Tommy Wright has headed off in the first instance - hopefully many more like him to go.

13 players?

 

Total bollocks.

I really hope the cull happens, McGhee's last chance on the signings front, imo none of his signings have been any good so far.

He's got to get rid of the deadweight that's been sitting around doing fuckall for too long. The only players I'd possibly keep would be Clangers, Diamond, Mulgrew (purely for set-pieces, nothing else), Young, Fyvie, Paton and Pawlett. Reel Maguire back in from his loan spell. Get rid of the rest.
