ABERDEEN FC this afternoon won their fight to sign Icelandic international Kari Arnason.

 

The Aberdeen team faced competition from at least one club in England for the 28-year-old former Plymouth Argyle player.

 

But Aberdeen FC boss Craig Brown beat them and Arnason will officially become a Dons player on Monday after undergoing a medical at Pittodrie.

 

 

sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet

Wow. On paper one of our best signings for a good wee while. happy days.

Did not expect this - well done AFC!

Exactly what I was thinking. Well done AFC and welcome aboard Arnason!

 

Now for a winger and left back please Brown! 

Hopefully he will kari on with his good form in pre-season and give a lift to the team.

Hopefully he lives up to they hype, certainly seems we may be a bit more solid this season.

Just need some kind of width now and another striker would be handy unless mackiegol continues his preseason form

We need another striker.

 

EDIT: this looks like a good solid signing.  I'm almost positive now we'll be playing 3-5-2 or at least trying it out at some point in the season.

Welcome aboard.

 

Boooooooooo etc...

Another positive step forward.

 

Welcome Kari.

Gonzalez, Mawene, Osbourne, Arnason, Clarke, Milsom.  Given the strength of these signings I'd hope the striker to come in is decent also.

A fit Pawlett, a fit Fyvie, Aluko still not signed up elsewhere, Foster back, Folly to come back, and likely some loans to come in. Mackie's even in the last year of his contract so we'll surely get 10+ goals from him.

 

I'm almost not ashamed to admit to being an Aberdeen fan for the first time since Sigma Olomouc.

Welcome aboard!!!

Just to put the cat among the pigeons, he looks like captain material to me! ;-)

CB said the same thing (regarding the striker). It's on the official site too saying that he's agreed to sign and just needs to pass his medical on monday before putting pen to paper.

Awesome song opportunity. Of course growing the moustache is also a must.

 

Someone on mad was suggesting Kari Kari Kari Arnason, he's hard as fuck, he's as fuuucccckkk (to Karma Chameleon)

Brilliant 

See he was on trial at Hearts prior to coming to us for pre-season - Wonder why they didn't fancy him? 

Perhaps its a case of him not fancying them?

 

Hes just been sacked by a club for refusing to accept 30% of his agreed salary for the 7th straight month when hearts say 'hey come up here for a trial'

 

Heads up there and thinks 'hey this isnt too bad...hmm dont know much about this team so ill google them when I get back to the hotel.'

Hes impressed with their History in the Tennants 6s etc but having been burned by his last club he does some digging into their off-field history.

He finds out what their debt it

He finds stories about players and backroom staff not recieving their pay on time on a couple of occasions.

He gets to see the whole Craig Thomson debacle.

Finally he sees press reports suggesting he was on trial because the Zander Diamond deal didnt go through

 

IM SECOND CHOICE BEHIND ALBERT STEPTOE!!!

Jefferies said he was too similar to what they already had.

Translation:

 

MadVlad didna like the boy cos he wasnae gonna be a puppet and accept 2 bottles of buckie and a mobile phone instead of 3 months pay

Im agreeing with that suggestion. Stuck in my head now. I'll be sure to try and get that started at an away game if hes playing well/scores

I wondered exactly the same thing.

Jefferies was in Edinburgh Evening News saying he was no better than what they already had.
