Well, the window is just over 3 weeks away, who realistically can we get? Pretty sure a center mid will be targeted.

 

Is Murray Davidson any good? Sounds like the type of player we could do with. Worth paying for? Swap for Pawlett?

 

I liked the rumor of a straight swap, Tansey for Miles Storey.

 

Who else is out there that, one we can afford, and two, would be allowed to join us in January? I really don't want another complete unknown from the lower leagues, hasn't proven too effective. At least we know what Tansey and Davidson can do.

Do not you think it odd that in 2012 Christie pictured in the form of Celtic? tveet fake?

Said twitter account has now either been suspended or deleted.

 

 

 

 

Folks c'mon, would you want to be judged for the rest of your days on every decision you made when you were 16 years old?  The boy is a cracking player and will likely do very well for us, would have him over maddigol quite happily.

 

  Fair point.Probably brainwashed by his Dad,a big Celtic fan

Fixed that for you

This better nae be true.

 

If we have humbled ourselves to go crawling to the weegie minkers and ask for a loan of one of their players then that's me finished.

Agree with this completely.... fingers crossed he's a replacement for Maddison and we're still getting the central midfielder we need in.

 

Although I am not bothered about us signing the loon CHristie, I do wonder what our own young players have to do to get a game under McInnes. I would say Ross and Wright who both got some gametime on Saturday deserve a little bit more.

 

I just find it a little strange we sign young players from other clubs but pretty much ignore our own.

Dinna spik shite min.

 

How are you going to boo the tim cunt if you dinna turn up?

Just throwing this out there, how about not trying to demoralise an Aberdeen player when he's playing ?  Novel idea I know but what can i say..... it just came to me. 

Looking like we might have 2 loans coming in & a bonus ball permanent signing. Could it be Christie/May/Easton ? If D.M does take in a l.b surely means Shinnie will be a regular in midfield.

Also presuming Maddison not returning with the highland tim coming in.

I was joking, I didn't realise he'd actually signed. I'm much too chilled out to boo a dons player. It's nae his fault the dons are meekly going cap in hand to a bunch of weegie fucks.

 

It does a feel a bit weird like. But then it was absolutely fine for Pawlett to go to Saints and Machoir to Killie, so I suppose it's no different. Fuck it, if he gets us second place then he's got my backing.

Happy to have young Scottish talent join us, hopefully we can develop and improve a Scottish player. Loads of potential and if we can benefit, win more games, finish 2nd, and make more money, I'm good!

 

He's a young lad, we all do dumb shit as kids. I'm ignoring the tweet, don't care what he did in the past, care what he does for us. Hope he gets support from the fans!

It's not cap in hand though, I think this is a very astute piece of business. Christie is a really good player and having Shinnie, Hayes and Rooney at the club to help him settle I don't think it will take him long to get up to speed. Our chances of finishing the season strongly just increased significantly imo.

We could see more of shinnie at lb because of this.

My god, how low are you lot prepared to go?

 

 

We are such a diddy club now that this can happen.

 

Well, they can all get tae fuck.

I'm not sure how it helps us to develop and improve a Scottish player (nor am I sure why it matters that he's Scottish) only for him to return to a rival.

 

I don't think anyone really gives a fuck about the tweet.

 

I also don't think he's that good. He's not as good as Maddison, and he's definitely not better than McLean either. I dinna think he'll be in McInnes's thinking to replace Shinnie in midfield, more likely he may come on in games if we're struggling to break teams down, then move Shinnie to left back rather than him starting there. But he's certainly nae shite either, so he'll get a decent amount of game time. If we were struggling for other options in what is a difficult window, then it's nae a bad move. Pragmatic given Celtic's 20 point gap too, rather than inspired.

Tlg1903, you're more or less right. Everyone bar Celtic is pretty much broke and we rely on the cheap, free, and loan deals. We're all scraping the barrel. I'd rather be loaning a young Scottish talent with an upside than sign a lower English or foreign unknown.......although in years past signing an old firm player on loan would be unheard of and certainly unwanted. I get the negativity around signing a Celtic loanee but it's the current environment and the sad state of affairs in Scottish football.

 

I also don't like that Aberdeen has very few Scottish players now so signing Scot is a positive in my eyes and hopefully we have the potential of a permanent signing. Would love us to be a real Scottish team with the best Scottish talent.

 

 

Apart from a decent strike against us in a game I'd far sooner forget, I've always thought of Easton as a bit of a cart horse. However I trust the manager 100%, and if he sees something in the boy then I'd be happy to see him on board. Same with Ryan Christie - you never know, there's maybe potential for this loan deal to become more permanent, it's happened before.

 

Let the manager do his bit and let's get behind him and the players he signs. 

Where does he play? I seem to remember him playing behind the striker, the role McLean is best in. I'd hate to see McLean pushed further back where he often struggles just to accommodate Christie.

 

I wonder if we'll see Pawlett leaving before the end of the month.

Another loan signing, another kick in the teeth to our young players.

 

Stevie May signed on loan yet?

 

 

Maybe Celtic wants to help us in the fight for second !?

This sums up pretty much where I'm at. I'd hate to see McLean being sacrificed to accommodate Christie. He's being playing very well since hes been allowed to play in position. Uninspired signing but if it's because we needed someone to replace Maddison, good on him for not waiting before the end of the window and hoping we got him back. I'm intrigued to see what DM does next.

I personally think Christie is a good signing, very good player and I am sure he will do a job for us. In terms of tweets from 2012, I couldnt care less what he tweeted, I am more concerned about what he will do for us on the pitch between now and the summer.

 

As others have said, this will to replace Maddison and good on McInnes for not waiting until the last minute to be told yes or no by Norwich.

I give Christie 2 days to fall in love with us.

 

Then he can tweet his twat aff about hating Hibs

 

My initial reaction to signing Christie was pretty positive but the more I think about it the more I suspect it might be a mistake.

 

The tweet doesn't bother me personally, but I think it will seriously reduce how many mistakes or poor games he'll get before a section of our fans gets on his back.  If we end up in a situation where the boy has a couple of poor games to start, the crowd gets abusive, and everything turns sour I can see the media having a field day, largely at our expense.

 

There's also a point of principle I don't like here, which is that Celtic, as by far the richest club in the country, could be seen as influencing what goes on elsewhere in the league.  In theory there's nothing to stop them from lending us players we couldn't afford in an attempt to deny Sevco second, which would delight their own fans.  I'm not suggesting that's what's happening, and Sevco are the last club in the country entitled to squeal about sharp practice and manipulation, but loaning players within the same league just seems wrong to me.
