‘Players won’t leave Aberdeen FC because we’re too nice’

Craig Brown’s transfer dilemma

ABERDEEN FC boss Craig Brown today admitted his bid to make new signings in January could be scuppered because he can’t get players to leave the club.

 

Hearts, who drew 0-0 with Aberdeen at Pittodrie, are poised to lose several of their squad when the transfer window opens on Sunday because they haven’t been paying their wages.

 

But Brown fears he might not be able to make the changes he wants because his fringe players get treated too well by Aberdeen FC.

 

So with January on the horizon, who would you like to see leave and possibly be brought in as a replacement?

 

I'm hoping we've finally seen the last of Mackie, because i'm yet to see this pace that the commentators still talk about, which was his only "asset". I don't actually think we need another striker because I think Chalali might come good when he gets a run in the team. Certainly impressed me against St. Johnstone. I would also welcome back Maguire, just to get a bit of service to the strikers, especially since he and Vernon seemed to form quite an understanding last season.

Postie reporting that is a Vernon contract extension

If true, it would be a boost!

Charlie Allan saying its considine and Vernon signing.

According to original 106, Anderson is close to signing a deal.

I thought he was injured for the rest of the season

Pre contract for next season ?

Putting sentimentality aside, any deal we offer him can only be on a pay as you play basis surely

He has signed already according to that chat I've had.

Aberdeen set to make Russell Anderson a Don again despite injury lay-off

Jan 13 2012

 

CRAIG BROWN last night confirmed he is looking to take Russell Anderson back to Aberdeen – even if he can’t play for the next two months.

 

The veteran Dons manager is looking to strengthen his squad and had told chief executive Duncan Fraser to re-sign the 33-year-old defender.

 

Anderson has been using the facilities at his hometown club since the end of last year to recover from a hamstring injury that prompted Derby to show him the door.

 

He is still some way off adding to his 280 appearances for his beloved club but the Pittodrie gaffer is still keen to snap up the former Scotland star.

 

Brown said: “Everybody knows Russell is a great player. The problem is that he’s been hit by injuries over the years but he has such a great pedigree and we want to help him get back.

 

“There’s little money to throw around but I hope we can do some sort of deal to keep him. His experience would be valuable.”

He could share a room with you, Mizer?

He'd be a good signing for Dundee. Not a surprise really after he was left out of the Forfar game squad completely.

Barry Smith was in the paper saying that they had no money to sign new players so would be surprised (and pleased) if this was true.

I mentioned this to TC earlier in the week, i'm quite impressed with the way the club have gone about their business this transfer window. First time i've seen an AFC manager acknowledge they need to be quicker off the mark

This. 

Farid El Alagui on a pre-contract agreement, anyone? Anyone seen him looking at hooses in Westhill?

I was discussing him the other day with someone. Seems to be banging them in. What sort of striker is he? We need someone with a bit of pace.

He's a striker who's attracting interest from many clubs so expect him not to sign for us.

 

TBH be honest I don't know all that much about him other than he's French Moroccan and he's banging them in in the first division.

Aberdeen FC need to get a wing wizard

ABERDEEN FC boss Craig Brown today revealed he is attempting to sign a wide player before they face Rangers at Ibrox on Saturday.

 

Brown conceded a lack of creativity was the major reason why Aberdeen FC could only hold Kilmarnock to a 0-0 draw at Pittodrie in the SPL.

 

He is now trying to secure a loan signing ahead of the weekend.

Hallelujah! Hopefully he's successful.

 

Nae quotes other than Elvis saying he needs to find a bigger club to play internationally. 

Along with Hughes we apparently have 2 other trialists in this week who are from NZ and Nigeria.
