glasgowdon Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 Sounds like he wants to play 451, something like: Langfield McArdle Diamond Ifil Considine/Grassi Foster/New Guy Pawlett Fyvie New Guy Aluko Kyle/Other Target Man Derek Young probably.

We really do need a midfielder with a big presence, something we've been lacking for a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slim Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 Yep, I expected him to go for an experienced deep lying central midfielder, someone to replace Mark Kerr to sit in front of the defence and let Fyvie and Pawlett (I'm presuming he sees Fyvie as a starter next season and his omission of Pawlett from his winger comment hopefully means he sees him more in a central-ish role) produce more. Unless he's hoping he can persuade Kerr or McDonald to stay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless he's hoping he can persuade Kerr or McDonald to stay. I'd be happy with Pawlett playing from a more central area, but do think he'd need a fair bit of protection in that position.

manc_don Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 I have to say, those were my immediate thoughts as well slim when i was reading that article. He best not be hoping/counting on those two pretenders to stay. It concerns me greatly that he doesn't view this as a problem position, as even if fyvie is going to start there, we'll still need someone else to play in that position. Its been a problem for years and it needs to be addressed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ally s Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 Unless you're all mind readers you don't have a clue if he sees this as a problem position or not. Let's just wait and see what the summer brings before pressing any panic buttons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tsr Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 3 priorty positions, I thought we were getting 10 new signings and personally felt all 10 should be first teamers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maverick sheep Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 I no longer take anything as read. It's moving goalposts, smoke and mirrors and an extra portion of bullshit on the side. What happens is completely out of the club's control and we'll get whatever players we're left with. AFC are now like the fat plukey minger at the dance. No way will we get what we really want but at the end of the day there is still a hole there somewhere, so somebody will inevitably end up filling it.

manc_don Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 Ally i'm not pressing the panic button. It was pressed long ago seriously though, as tsr said, we needed 10 players that were of first team quality, obviously we weren't going to get 10 but we need more than 3! I know the season is not long over, but i sense that this is going to be a very long summer. I just hope mcghee manager to pull a few more signings out the bag. We need some serious grit in that team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigAl Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 10 became 8 became 6 became 4 became the boy Tommy, plus Pawlett & Considine returning from injury and Bebo returning from loan equals sorted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
One Bobby Clark Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 That list of 100 names that was talked about earlier, what was that exactly?

Kowalski Posted June 16, 2010 Author Share Posted June 16, 2010 Grassi agrees new deal with Aberdeen FC Davide delighted to be coming back By Sean Wallace Published: 16/06/2010 ITALIAN defender Davide Grassi today revealed he has agreed a new one-year deal with Aberdeen FC. Mark McGhee initially offered Grassi a short-term six month contract. But the former Parma youngster insisted he was worth a longer deal and successfully thrashed out an extended offer during showdown talks. Grassi said: “I got what I wanted as I have agreed a one-year contract with Aberdeen FC.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tsr Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 I think McGhee was right to offer 6 months but what has Grassi done to merit 1 year? Fk all and it strikes me of desperate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jute Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 Fucking joke. Nowhere near good enough to play at SPL level. The more I see of signings for the forthcoming season the less inclined I am to attend games next season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
