Miovski getting linked with stade de riems (mid table in ligue 1) for 4-5 million euros in the French press. 

 

"Under contract until 2026 in the Scottish club, Bojan Miovski would have the advantage of being financially affordable.  If the Transfermarkt site estimates him at €700,000, he should not however be available for less than 4/5 million euros." 

 

I think we are going to be getting a lot of rumours the next wee while.  The front two and Barron in particular are going to be getting a lot of interest.  Coulsons future is going to be up in the air too as he's ooc with boro in the summer. 

 

Aaron Reid loaned out to Elgin City. Look forward to being there for his debut next week...

 

In other news, Wigan have made Graeme Shinnie available. Unfortunately looks like a return to Derby is on the cards rather than a move back to us.

Looks like Reid scored a last minute winner on his Elgin debut. BHH.

Fucking YES

Make it happen.

Mental that this time yesterday we were worrying about bottom six, and now Shinnie is coming home to win the lot.

31 y/o,still a couple of seasons left in him,Could certainly use a bit of his drive.Just a loan apparently,presume to the end of the season....

IF (and I won't believe it until he's spotted with a rowie in George Street) he comes back, it creates an interesting dynamic in the team.

General thinking is Barron won't still be here by the end of the window, so he could essentially be taking his place in the team.

If not, then interesting to see what Goodwin is thinking. Is Shinnie a left wing back? A centre mid? A spoiler? 

Either of these teams at Hampden will do me. 

 

CONFIRMED

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Loan deal until the end of the season.

Wow.

Aberdeen FC I fucking love you.

I better go sellotape my semi-final ticket back together.

Was just thinking this, fucking yasss.

 

Before Xmas,Id heard from a good source we had targeted 2 african players.One was a miidfielder in Egypt who rejected our offer for better offers elsewhere,presume Shinnie fills the gap.

  The other was a defender who I have yet to hear about since,not sure if still a possibility.Rumours elsewhere(probable waffle) of a Serbian potential signing

That’s a proper air puncher of a signing.

Makes sense to get him in for the 6 month loan initially and sort out his player-manager contract at the end of the season.

Him and Ramadani will be great pals.

Never much more than a journeyman as a midfielder IMO lacked guile but certainly will add fight and a bit of organisation which is badly lacking.

Be interesting to see how he slots in. Clearly himself and ramadani will play. Probably both are holding midfielders. 

Is it 5/3/2 or 4/4/2 ( would lack creativity with this two), 4/5/1 or Diamond?

Or do we bring back wingers?

Right player of we intend to play two holding. If it's not to hold, he's no better than Clarkston or Barron going forward and it would make no sense to do ramadani who has been out best player of late 

I'm hoping he's coming in to let one of those two play at ten

What does that actually mean though? He captained ICT to a cup before/as we signed him. He was a fantastic player in this league and had us finishing second on numerous occasions. He's about six times better than McRorie. It's a really good signing.

 

 

He was always a driving midfielder with a will to win. Yes, he can be rash in the challenge but that’s part of his will to win and he has a great attitude. Better than a journeyman in my opinion.

It means that he is a good ball winner but a poor distributor of the ball and offers little going forward.

We finished second mainly because the rest were relegated on and off but you can only beat what's in front of you.

He was a great left back before coming to us. I'd agree that mcrorie lacks the same quality in the middle of the park. Pure energy, little quality and that shinnie is better than him.

Not really sure where Ross ends up. Like him marauding forward on he right but rarely delivers a telling ball. Wasnt a good centre half last year and can't see him in midfield ahead of ramadani or shinnie

Another one.

Who had Slovakia in the sweep stake?

At a guess.... not Ramadani?

Disagree. He was good at driving into the box, and was never scared to take on a shot from distance.

I would argue - heading ability aside - he offered more going forward than Lewis Ferguson.

And "journeyman" is a ridiculous description. He's only played for about four clubs and has won caps for Scotland.

His will to win is his outstanding quality. Accurately. I wouldn't say ramadani hasn't provided this fight though. 

Shinnie isn't going to have Ten assists a season or half a dozen goals as you'd maybe expect from Clarkston ( and possibly an in form Barron ) 

So I think it'll be really interesting to see how Jim decides to play him. Fair me I think Barron may go and shinnie will slot straight into his place with Clarkson at ten.

That however means sticking with the current unsuccessful set up.

Scored a few for us, including a couple of crackers, with one against apollon that springs to mind. I get what you're saying, but the above is definitely not the definition of journeyman. 

If anyone had their heart set on signing Kevin Long, he's signed for Birmingham.
