Long way off yet, but we were heavily linked with him and suddenly went quiet:

 

Aberdeen will be priced out of a move for Dylan McGeouch as the Hibs midfielder eyes a bumper deal south of border once his contract expires. (Daily Record)

 

Wouldn't surprise me in the slightest.

Hope the ticket office is braced for the influx of sales on the back of that news 

 

Still bouncin' at the Dom Ball news 

 

Rooneys got just under 2 years left on his contract.Gotta be more than £50k in it for us surely,as suggested?

A loan from fuckin Rotherham, how low can we go?

 

 

Dominic Ball is an atrocious footballer.

Cos he is the cheap option. Really cannot see him ever becoming our first choice keeper, presume we put an U20 on the bench this season and recall him should Joe get injured. St Boo I'd imagine are covering 100% of his wages in the meantime.

If/when Joe leaves we will try to get Danny Ward or Woodman in permanently

 

Odds of that possibly cut today given he is effectively 4th choice at Anfield now....unless Karius is punted

 

Liverpool fan at work today said Ward was going to be given a run as 1st choice after Karius made another couple of blunders in their pre-season friendly.

 

Aye. See they've also spent £66m on a goalie for their reserve team

Who are you looking at AFC signing, old timer?

Your line of questioning is all wrong.

 

Once you gain sufficient experience in life, you will come to understand why.

This.

 

If he is not good enough to play in third division in England for Rotherham then he is not good enough for Dons. Hell even McInnes played a useless cunt like OConnor ahead of him last season. Shite lazy signing.

 

Edit: Hope to fuck he is nowhere near right back for first 2 games.

Midfield he’s capable, defender he most certainly is not. I hope Dm remembers that. Wasn’t fair on him, the team or us as supporters. Uninspiring signing it may be but wecome back anyway

Decent back-up, especially if Gleeson not fit for next week, but hopefully that's all he is. If he's playing due to a loan agreement with Rotherham and keeping Lewis Ferguson and Dean Campbell out of the team, then it does us no good.

 

Full-back and a striker still needed.

He’s the type of player our squad needs, cheap, and backs up multiple positions. We cannot afford a back up for each position so he serves a purpose. He’s also young and can improve, plus I recall him being decent post split last season.

 

However, and I’m beating a dead horse. We still need to sign 3-4 quality players and if it doesn’t happen and Ball is expected to be more than he is then DM is certainly the one who should get the abuse, not Ball.

Spot on, not balls fault at all

Pleased that Ball is back for this season. He walks back into the team as if he was never away, always a good thing. Think this signing from Aberdeen is to appease some of the bed wetting fans before the main deals are done in the next few days. 

Adam Rooney off to Salford City????!!!!!!!!!??

As long as we have a replacement lined up it really is best all round. Great servant but would not fit into the style DM wants us to play.

what is the style of play ? as i did not see any coherent way of playing last year

Perhaps a reason why Rooney is being moved on...

rooney who started less games than may yet scored  more than may... so what was the style of play ?

He's maybe looking for a striker who can do more than tap ins and penalties

may cosgrove should be punted also then

^^^^^This

ergo cosgrove and may dont fit the bill, they are non scoring strikers

Both can link play and assist others to score. Rooney couldn't.....ergo he's been punted

am afraid the data doesnt support that we scored nearly 20 goals less last season than season before

Both can link play and assist others to score. Rooney couldn't.....ergo he's been punted

 

Saw very little evidence of that last season. Cosgrove has looked every inch a player who could not score in the conference north and that has not changed in preseason games I have seen this year. May provided some assists mainly to Rooney.

 

Surely the main purpose of a striker is to score goals. Most teams would kill for a striker who only scores tap ins.
