Can't find the thread where there was chat about Hayes :

 

Aberdeen face a three-way fight with Hibernian and St Johnstone to land Inverness winger Jonny Hayes. (Sun)

Supreme daftness.

 

Agreed, we appear to have fucked up big time yet again.

Dons miss out as Perth Saints get Hasselbaink

Aberdeen target Nigel Hasselbaink is to snub the Dons and sign for SPL rivals St Johnstone.

 

The Dutchman, who scored eight goals from 28 starts for St Mirren last season, has agreed terms on a two-year contract at McDiarmid Park and will sign on his return from holiday today.

Sad day when a very average footballer chooses to sign for my 'wee team' instead of my real team.

if our two targets were so mince, but we still couldn't sign them i shudder to think what level of player we're actually in the market for. i seriously doubt we'd be attracting even a top-ish blue sq premier player.

I'm not losing any sleep over Hasselbaink at all, I think he's pretty poor.  One player I am disappointed we didn't appear to go for is Tam Scobbie, who has also joined St Johnstone for free.  He usually impressed me for U-21s, don't know how he's played since Falkirk went down but always struck me as one of Falkirk's better players when in the SPL, in a position (LB) which has been an obvious problem for us for years.

Thing I find concering is that everyone else seems to be fixing up players already while all we are doing is realeasing stories claiming players have signed when they have not. Looks like we are going to be left with the scraps again.

Whilst I agree that Hasselbaink (or the "Fish") is no big miss he probably is a better option up front with Vern than what we have at the club. There have to be better options than Hasselbaink but our current group are shite.

 

 

Its a long shot but I was seeing that Bebe is available on a year long loan fae Man utd. Fergie saying he won't give up on him. Attacking midfielder who plays wide or through the middle. Mind u, he was injured for 6 months playing for Portugal, and then got intae trouble at Besiktas. Maybe not I think though.

that's not a long shot. that's a quick jab from a rusty needle

Another one bites the dust as Freddie sung

Not bothered about these two.

 

I will be gutted if we don't get Hayes and Tesselar though.

Tesselar is going to Killie is he no?

That's what I had read anyway. Need to get a left back as priority now as pretty sure Considine is suspended for start of season.

Is he? Pish.

McArdle signed for Bradford City.

Disappointed with that one. would rather have kept him. Find it strange we never made him any kind of offer to stay

He's pish. The only thing that's strange is others (who are equally as pish if not more so) were made offers to stay.

I think he was on too much money

I agree. He was being paid.

Good. Never good enough.

Good. Never good enough.

 

But as others have said, better than some of those that are left. Not happy with this one.

Good. Never good enough.

 

Not bad at just defending, but in reality he was exceptionally bad when he had the ball at his feet... never a good thing for a footballer, regardless of position these days.

Some guy, Aluko(?) on a free from huns. Worth a look?
