Can't quite believe we're almost at the end of the Season, have to say, It has flew in, I know there is still a good few weeks left, but the Manager will be thinking about next season for sure.

 

The likelihood is that GMS & Shinnie will be off, they'd surely have agreed an extension by now if they weren't? McKenna may have more interest and may leave, Stewart will go, Lowe will go, Gleeson ( Still not had a fair crack of the whip in my opinion ) will more than likely go also, Forrester already off the books, Hoban sadly injured, Reynolds off to Dundee United ( All the best ) James Wilson (  )  we will be rather light yet again.

 

We're a good amount of players down. What are the key positions that we need to address? Will we finally expand our scouting network?

 

This is arguably the most difficult task, in terms of recruitment, that McInnes will face.

 

 

 

 

In seven seasons, who are the talents that McInnes has developed? It's not just him of course, the scouts are responsible for finding the raw talent and it's not like any of these cunts have the same work ethic, passion and enthusiasm as the most successful do in that they live and breathe their jobs 24/7. Plus, he's getting paid too much anyway. Give a useless charlatan midget tink a load of cash and you'll soon see his desire diminish.

 

"Rebuilding" never involves youth under AFC. There's something broken.

So Ethan Ross has joined Dunfermline on loan for rest of the season, wonder where he had disappeared to ? Promising debut followed by mysterious disappearance.

Looks like D.M wants someone on board by Tuesday, gives whoever a chance to blend in, in Dubai.

 

Interesting to see what DM brings in.

A creative midfielder definitely as well as another front man to help out Cosgrove.

 

But with DM you never know.

 

After witnessing last weeks dire draw in which we make a shit team look good, we look very stale & changes needed.

 

I have defended DM before on numerous occasions but are we improving any?

I would say we are plodding along, we need a spark of some sort to reignite a sleeping giant.

 

We live in hope.

Welcome aboard 

 

Dave Cormack hopefully understands the last point you made.  Whether DM is the man to provide it, I'd say no, as has been evidenced in the last 5 transfer windows.

I think it is the exact opposite in that we are regressing at an fair old rate of knots.

I too have defended him (perhaps for far too long) but some of his team selections are like going back to JC's tombola line ups.

Good move for Ross imo. As you said, he had a decent debut but hasn't been seen since (classic DM).  hopefully this isn't the last we see of him.

Team are due to fly out to Dubai on Tuesday...McInnes is hopeful of having at least one new player by that time. However in light of Trump deciding to become the Terminator, there are some already advocating UK nationals get out of certain Middle Eastern countries sharpish as reprisals are expected. One of those countries being the UAE.

 

Will we still go?

The only person I’ve seen advocating that is a professor from a university in Tehran who is noted for talking nonsense. No credible advice for UK nationals to avoid/leave UAE.

Maybe just send Curtis Main.

strong rumours of Stephen O' Donnell from Killie.

 

Good, logan had a great few seasons but now the best we get out of him is an alright performance these days. 

Making assumptions here. Full back a priority since Leigh is injured plus McKenna leaving and Considine not being moved to left back? O’Donnell on the right and Logan on the left?

strong rumours of Stephen O' Donnell from Killie.

 

Had heard that his missus isn't overly keen on moving north. As I've said before...he's a bit of a lazy signing if it happens. Totally found out at international level. Logan has been so poor for the past 18 months that he probably is a bit of an upgrade but I'm convinced with some decent scouting we could find better in Scandinavia or Central/Eastern Europe.

Hard to argue with that TC

Record saying Dylan McGeouch again...want him onboard immediately, possible initial 6 month loan leading to permanent contract. Given that he has turned us down at least once before, possibly twice, I'm a bit meh about it. Especially as he cannot even get a game in what is a totally shyte Sunderland side that cannot get itself out of EFL1. However given our midfield injury problems that we have suffered all season, I'm prepared to accept it if it happens.

 

Also going with pre-contracts for Trevor Carson...so assume Cerny is heading home in the summer.....and Matty Kennedy (big hmmmmmm….is Hedges unsettled??)

Carson the hun fuck, can fuck right off. Mink.

Never been impressed by McGeouch, he doesn’t seem to do anything particularly well, he’s just “tidy”. A modern day Mark Kerr.

will give mcgeoch a chance , wonder if he is carrying an injury.. Jimmy Dunne been mentioned also

Jimmy Dunne been mentioned also

 

Was just wishful thinking in the aftermath of the McKenna/Burnley rumours. As far as I'm aware he is resigning on another 6 month loan for Bolton

BBC are reporting that we're close to some kind of deal for McGeouch and that we hope to have him fly to Dubai with the team tomorrow.

McGeouch signing today according to Keith Downie and Tom White. Dunne is a Loan according to Alan Nixon, but there are several clubs interested in him so far from done, but you'd have to imagine that if Burnley's interest in McKenna is legitimate, then they'll probably add Dunne's loan as part of any deal, if it happens this month though, it at least gives us until the end of the Season to replace McKenna long term, when Dunne goes back to Burnley.

 

Hey, at least it's not Dorrans 

 

Would like O'Donnell on board as well to be fair.

Like McGeouch as a player when he is fit but the problem is he never is. Rarely seems to manage 3  or 4 games in a row without breaking down. Not sure we need another perma crock.

Hopefully it is a 6 month loan deal and we don’t do something stupid like give him a 3.5 year contract. That would be the prudent thing to do for someone troubled by injury and when fit can’t keep his place in a team that has Chris Maguire as it’s primary creative outlet.

Carson the hun fuck, can fuck right off. Mink.

 

Sleep easy tonight Baggy

Carson has signed a new two year deal with Motherwell 

Apparently clubs have agreed the McGeough deal, but we are still thrashing out length of deal & of course, money. Also heard the Dunne offer is nothing to do with an offer for McKenna, havn't heard any more about the Kennedy lad from the farmers.

 

A fit MCgeough, Ojo & Ferguson sounds decent in midfield though, & Gregg Leigh signing a permanent deal would be
