Derek Young has signed

[stuartmonroe]

Oh my God!!!!

 

 

This is a shocking signing and I just can't understand why.

 

He was shocking first time around and considering he has just been freed by Partick Thistle, it just makes the signing even more bizarre.

 

Is someone on his way?

 

[NorthernLights]

:hammer:That about sums up my feelings.

[stuartmonroe]

Beat you by 13 seconds NorthernLights....

 

Unlucky for some....

 

AFC I would say....

WTF is he doing?

Even if he argues he is a good squad player, versatile and all that shit, I fail to see that any of our current youngsters can be as much of a waste of space.  When we have little cash to play with what is the point of paying this waste of spacee anything? I'd rather we didn't sign anyone than him. Adds nothing to the team and blocks one of the youngsters making the step up.

Total farce

Guess who is going to get booed this season!

 

 

[glasgow sheep]

aghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[Guest dundee_red]

What the fuck?! :hammer:

 

Is it April 1st today?

[glasgow sheep]

hopefully it is some practical joke while JC is away in Africa

[mizer]

Can I express my feeling in smileys

 

Aye right 

I'm worried

WTF

Why 

Angry 

Who's to blame   

[Guest Donofthered]

So I'm supposed to believe that there is not one player on a free better than that little fuck wit who is willing to join the Dons?? 

 

I propose we all get T-Shirts with Derek Young can Fuck Off for the first game, you know just to return the gesture! 

[BigAl]

If I live to be 100 don't think I'll ever understand this one....

 

Brewster and Young to start up front on 4th Aug

 

Ah fuck its not even remotely funny.

[glasgow sheep]

To be fair to derek he could hardly turn us down could he.  Del Boy may be a waste of space but I'm more concerned about what is going inside JC and WM's heads.

In fact don't answer that, I'd rather not know

[YMW]

Why are we signing a player Partick Thistle dont even want????

How much sun has Jimmy had in Egypt, he must well out of it!!!!!!!!

He was shit 1st time round and unless he has swapped feet with Ronaldhino, he will be shit this time aswell!!!!!!!

[chunk]

Boo.

 

Fucking Boo.

 

Still, if he scores the winner on the 4th, then I won't complain.

[mizer]

On a postive thought........

 

....I remember speaking to Derek at a hibs game the week after the Ricksen incident and his bro. He had been sent off later on for a tackle on Ricksen (studs into the stomach in a sliding tackle). We were applauding his tackle and he turned round and said, it was shit I was aiming for his balls  He was a good laugh

[Jute]

Only reason I can think of for this signing is that all those UV rays JC has been exposing himself to have finally fried his brain.

 

Surely there were better players available. Daal for example.

[Mentorred]

Must be getting ready for retiring, joining a small club after playing for Dungfermilne and Pathetic Thistle.

 

 

[Leerichardson40yrds]

To be honest, I don't really have the same 'oh my god' reaction that a lot of Dons fans are having. I actually think that Derek was underrated compared to his brother, who people seemed to rate. Neither was especially good, but one was seen as a loss when they left. If the younger Young is signed to be an alternative to Daal then I couldn't care less.

 

I am far more worried about the fact that when one Young goes the other seems to follow.

[Jute]

I am far more worried about the fact that when one Young goes the other seems to follow.

 

Please No.

[AyrshireDon]

During his first spell he summed up everything that was wrong with Aberdeen players of that time, and frankly I'm amazed that any SPL club would sign him! In fact, does this not mean that JC has signed him twice??  

 

Like folks have been saying I presume it's only as a "squad player", but even then would we not be better chucking in a youth player in times of an emergency & finding out whether or not they can cut the mustard? Just see this as a totally pontless signing, but I do love the irony of him leaving the Dons for higher wages & presumably now re-signing on a fraction of what he was on before!

 

Darren was always more capable as a footballer, which in itself again sums up the quality of players we had around that time. Oh well, for every decent signing we appear more than capable of signing an absolute stinker... just hope now that we don't end up selling on one of our 1st choice strikers such as Lovell (as has been rumoured for large chunks of the summer) as the shit would hit the fan then!

 

Totally un-inspiring signing, but you won't hear me (or any other dons fan!) complain if by some miracle he does something decent this time around!

[Guest Donofthered]

Also why, if we have some room to sign a pointless squad player, are we not trying to get a Keeper?  Young will not get near the first team so why not sign a keeper that will and have Clangers sat doing F' all until he goes?

 

I still hope we get another keeper in before the start of the season, unlikely mind!

 

Derek Bloody Young!

[mizer]

From the dunfermline forum

 

I thought he had signed for Hamilton

can't believe he'll do well at aberdeen

Ha ha haaaa, class!!! This has made my day

How on earth has he managed to ghost his way in to the Aberdeen squad!

Freed by Partick and ends up at Aberdeen ?

That's what you call falling on your feet.

Two year deal as well? Must have a photo of Calderwood without a sun tan or something?

Quality signing he will get at least 2 goals this season

Fortunately for us, it's Derek not Darren

 

To me it speaks volumes......
