So i see according to the daily Hun, we've been linked with Paul Quinn from county.  Can't say I know enough about him to even make a judgement, but since it's in the Hun, i'll presume it's shite 

According to my Jags mate, he said we've made a 200k offer, he'd rather they kept him until the end of the season rather than accept. Rates him highly. Short player but very skilful apparently.

Aye, my mate said that he's been somewhat of a linchpin for all their good play for the past 2-3 years. Starts deep and then pushes forward apparently. Can't say i've noticed much of him against us mind. My mate said it was supposed to be a pre-contract agreement but we've put in the bid to try and secure him due to interest elsewhere.

Sounds a bit like Jack from last season

Only thing I can remember about Bannigan is that he gets booked a lot. 9 times in 20 games this season.

We need a niggly bastard in midfield 

Looks like Paul Quinn will complete his move to Ross County today.

Can't say I've really been that impressed with Quinn, seems to lack concentration and gets pulled all over the place.

Looks like the tims are running scared, looking like a splash-the-cash window for them.

Rumours were going round yesterday that we were after Will Vaulks. Source, he followed AFC on twitter...

We will be making a signing today or tomorrow. Havnt heard anything more about the Paul Quinn to county thing so won't comment. I don't know if it's the players or agents but del seems to be struggling to keep the lid on targets like he used to.

Or maybe not

Or maybe not

 

Was hoping deek might surprise us, but guess not  hopefully he's managed to keep his cards closer to his chest because the news being reported of late is just your typical "I won't be rushed into making signings".

I'm sure he said at the start of the week that nobody will be coming in before the game today so it's hardly surprising.  Fingers crossed he makes a couple of key signings next week though.

Did the crazy Quinn thing happen or has that gone all quiet for the moment?

Seems to have gone quiet though might be due to Reynolds being suspended for tonight? Not that that makes any sense for the rest of the season unless we sign another.

I see Irvine was supposed to be on the bench again today but had to start due to Martin Wood picking up an injury in the warm up.  If Quinn is going to county I would not be surprised to see Irvine sign for us. 

I want us to sign Blair Spittal.

Signed some aussie keeper (Aaron Lennox) for the u-20's:

The Sun reporting that Quinn will sign for Ross County today on a free transfer.

Was this what DM was referring to as freeing up wages?! I'm still saddened by this.

Well, all gone through now:

Aberdeen FC defender Paul Quinn has today signed for Ross County on an 18-month contract.

 

The centre-back, 30, rejoined the Staggies after agreeing his early release from a two year deal with the Dons.

 

Quinn was Ross County captain last season before signing on with Derek McInnes’ Reds last summer.

 

An Aberdeen FC statement today said: “Everyone at the club thanks Paul for his contribution during his time here and wishes him all the very best in his future career.”

 

Dons boss McInnes recently confirmed players could leave Pittodrie during the January transfer window to free up funds to make an ‘impact’ signing.

 

Quinn’s exit will strengthen his hand to bring in a signing before the window closes on Monday.

 

With captain Ryan Jack and Willo Flood both side-lined for the next month with hamstring injuries central midfield is seen as a priority area.

 

Aberdeen are tracking Partick Thistle midfielder Stuart Bannigan who is out of contract at the end of the season but has recently held talks with Barnsley.

 

The Dons have also been linked with loan moves for Wigan’s out of favour Scotland international midfielder Don Cowie and Southampton’s England U21 striker Sam Gallagher.

 

Defender Quinn’s time at Pittodrie may have been short but he wrote his name in Pittodrie folklore by scoring the winner in a 2-1 home win over Celtic last September.

 

That victory was part of a club record eight game winning start to the Premiership campaign.

 

And Quinn could make his Ross County bow against Celtic at the weekend in the League Cup semi-final.

 

The stopper is available for Sunday’s clash as although on the bench for the Dons’ 2-0 third-round defeat by Hibs but did not feature.

Never good enough. He's the type of player John Collins was talking about. Which is why it's hilarious that he scored the winner against them. Wish him all the best. But we need signings post haste so I hope we've got plans lined up.
