Jute Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 We need that, and so much more. Agreed at least one full back, winger and striker must come in if we are to have any hope of avoiding another long painful season fighting relegation. Sadly doubt we will get even that many.

Our board are so reactionary its ridiculous. Hope I'm wrong. Edit: Wolves striker Leigh Griffiths is set to join Aberdeen on loan.

(Scotland on Sunday) if it happens that's good news. as well as the various other positions, we also need a captain. we have a handfull of kids who are being asked to carry a team of journeymen and freeloaders. it won't just mean we're gash for a long time, it will fuck these boys' careers or, more likely, force them out the club in the very near future.

(Scotland on Sunday) McCarthy has said before he is not interested in loaning players out to SPL so cannot see this happening. However would be a decent signing if it does.

KGB Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 McCarthy has said before he is not interested in loaning players out to SPL so cannot see this happening. However would be a decent signing if it does. Story appears in Mail on Sunday as well, stating its a done deal which will go through tomorrow.

McMaster Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 I doubt whether Leigh Griffiths is going to be the final piece in our jigsaw. we still need another player if not two i would say. just hope Mr Milne, the great Aberdeen fan, can see what the team is lacking and open the purse strings. speculate to accumulate and all that. I am getting fed up repeating the Milne pish. Only wish i could win the euro millions! Mind you the Dundee chairman is an Aberdeen fan and wanted to invest and got told where to go by Milne. wouldn't stand a chance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But yes, Milne needs to open up the wallet or its going to be another one of those seasons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You mean the now ex Dundee chairmen that encouraged them to spend spend spend based on cash that they allgedly were promised but didnt actually have , put them into administration and landed them with a 25point penalty. Then tried to claim it wasnt his fault? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josh Megennis was awesome for my Cardiff team in FM, shcoed the goal that got us to the Premiership. He's a shite footballer though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McMaster Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 Aye. Was just using the ex Dundee chairman as an example of what little chance i, or anyone, would have of taking over the dons in the unlikely event of winning the lottery. No saying he should be installed like! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tyrant Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 A mate at work said that his mate saw Leigh in Edinburgh and spoke to him and he said himself that he was joining us on loan. Apparently a reliable source so either Leigh thought he was joining us or just lied for a laugh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kowalski Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 Brown on trail of new striker for Aberdeen FC Craig in race to land hitman By Charlie Allan Published: 15/08/2011 ABERDEEN FC boss Craig Brown was today stepping up his efforts to bring in a new goal-grabber. The manager has reacted after seeing the Aberdeen FC players fail to find the target for the fourth match in a row when they crashed 3-0 to Hearts at Tynecastle. Algerian Under-21 international Mohamed Chalali has been invited to Pittodrie on trial and Brown claimed he had “several other options” as he attempted to bolster his attack ahead of the Pittodrie clash with Inverness Caley on Saturday. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mohamed_Chalali Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northfield Quine Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 We have heard this pish for the last 3 wks about stepping up his efforts for a striker we need more than that to sort out that shambles on Sat. Maybe Maweme injured gives us a chance to move Fyvie or Milson back to natural CM position and move Arnason back. But I think Brown will move Mcardle there and stick with same team from middle - Forward on Sat. :-(( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dj_bollocks Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 Should he not have been doing this 3 months ago...? Anyone who genuinely believed that after Maguire and Aluko leaving Vernon and Mackie was the acceptable striking force is an idiot and buffoon... No sympathy here...
