Jute Posted July 16, 2023 Share Posted July 16, 2023 Being linked with Killian Phillips an attacking midfielder at Crystal Palace. Assuming this is back up option in case the rumours that Teklic is off to Trabzonspor are true. Apologies for the source. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reekie_Red Posted July 17, 2023 Share Posted July 17, 2023 Phillips was the Young Player of the Season at Shrewsbury, despite only joining them on loan in January. Is liked by the Eagles too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panda Posted July 18, 2023 Share Posted July 18, 2023 Apparently close to signing Serbian centre-back Slobodan Rubezic. He's right footed. Last season we had an obsession with right sided wingers, this year it appears to be right sided centre-backs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No nothing whatsoever about Rubezic and paper talk is cheap, but it appears as if he is very highly rated and that we've been tracking this guy for some considerable time. Whilst all these signings will require to gel together, it is possible for it all to go Pete Tong yet, it sure as hell is an exciting time to be a Don. Even an old fucker like me is feeling re-energised and excited about the season ahead. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking at Wyscout, Rubezic has been playing RCB. He's only filled in at LCB when there's been injuries or suspensions. Rhys Williams has actually played more games in his career at LCB. Anything Stewart also often played on the left side of defence before signing for Aberdeen... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slim Posted July 19, 2023 Share Posted July 19, 2023 You’d think a Croatian ‘B’ international who has signed for the Turkish champions of last season is the type of game changing player who could really move us up a level, hopefully there’s a couple more targets of that calibre on our shortlist. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manc_don Posted July 19, 2023 Share Posted July 19, 2023 I was amused by how afc Twitter managed to get their pants wet by him following the club on instagram this week. It was never happening after last week. Shame, and exactly the caliber of player we should be looking to sign. Big wad of cash for a player with 11 months to go, but they’ve got the cash so it’ll be pocket change for them. Onwards and upwards, but I’d like to see someone confirmed soon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrlandoDon Posted July 19, 2023 Share Posted July 19, 2023 Little surprised we haven’t been linked with more wide players. Are we relying on wing backs? Very limited with wingers at present. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Panda Posted July 22, 2023 Share Posted July 22, 2023 So the chat is we're trying to get Liam Scales back on loan, because we've been priced out of a permanent transfer by Celtic. Clever by Aberdeen I'd say. Don't pay over the odds if you don't have to. He clearly doesn't have a future at Celtic and no-one is going to pay an inflated fee for him.

He came ok towards the end of last season but he wasnt good enough to merit a large fee. If it were not for the fact that hes a known quantity of a reasonable standard (and maybe also because he's left footed) I wouldn't even be interested in having him back.

Panda Posted July 23, 2023 Share Posted July 23, 2023 So looking at how we're shaping up. Robson says he's hoping for two defenders and two midfielders. I'd hazard a guess that a RM is on the shopping list since that's what Teklic would have been, while yesterday showed a central midfielder with an attacking edge is needed. Then a LCB, and I'm kinda presuming Rubezic is a done deal as everything seems to suggest it is. Duncan was playing LWB / LM when he came on yesterday, so looks like he may be the one pushing Hayes for a place there. Besuijen didn't feature at all yesterday which - unless he's injured or not fit - doesn't bode well for him, especially if another two midfielders come in. We need eight (I think) home grown players in the European squad, four of which need to be trained by the club. So Bavidge, Marshall, Duncan, Barron, Mackenzie, Milne, Ritchie, Devlin, Doohan, Shinnie - that's 10, so maybe Marshall and Milne go out on loan? You kinda feel Mackenzie would benefit from a loan, but because he's a left footed defender he's probably going to play a lot. Especially if Scales comes back on loan. Below graphic in case we opt for four at the back, which would suit Dadia and Devlin you imagine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
