d31 Posted May 20, 2018 Share Posted May 20, 2018 I'd be happy with something like this for the summer activity. Current Squad: Scott Wright - needs to go out on a season long loan somewhere he'll pick up 30 games next season so probably the Championship (Partick Thistle, Loan) Greg Tansey - presume we'll try to flog him to another top flight club or loan him back to County/Caley (St Mirren, Free) Signings: Lewis Ferguson (Hamilton, £100k) - cover for central midfield Dylan McGeouch (Hibs, Free) - very ambitious but we are in desperate need of a first pick for central midfield so as you'd expect we are trying to push the boat out Jonny Hayes (Celtic, Loan) - McInnes will go back for players he trusts time and time again. I'd suggest an interesting shout to come back as left back but obviously covering wing and midfield positions too. Likely to be well out of picture at Celtic with Morgan and Christie ahead of him let alone the current squad and new signings Ryan Gauld (Sporting, Loan) - Has struggled for games since moving to Portugal so not unrealistic at the moment. High wage makes a permanent transfer unlikely Ross Wallace (Sheff Wed, Free) - Need more cover in midfield and another experinced head would be welcome Jason Naismith (Ross County, £150k) - Cover required for right back and right centre half so fits the bill. May even oust Logan as first pick freeing Logan up to cover midfield occasionally. Lewis Naismith Devlin McKenna Hayes McGeouch Shinnie Wallace Gauld Mackay-Steven May subs: Rogers, Logan, Considine, Ferguson, Rooney, Cosgrove, McGinn squad: Reynolds, Ross, Campbell, Anderson 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bench of Considine, Considine, Considine, Considine, Considine, Considine and Shin Considine has us covered rotation-wise. 11 minutes ago, akredz said: more likely than d31's scenario Some might go as far as saying it is the most plausible line-up for next season posted so far.

akredz Posted May 21, 2018 Share Posted May 21, 2018 Just signed up for the DNA scheme, anything to get 11 Considines on the field. (well, 10 Considines and a left back) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

betting competition Posted May 21, 2018 Share Posted May 21, 2018 (edited) We now have 5,000 joined the AberDNA scheme - that is incredible numbers and a fair amount of money coming in for the manager. I will expect other clubs to do the same as us in the future now they see the success of this scheme.

Jmothecat2 Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 How does seeding work for the Europa league? Are both the coefficient of the league and recent club performance taking into account or just the former? I've noticed Aberdeen aren't seeded but Burnley are. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last season we were half way up the list of seeded clubs in QR2 - having previously been unseeded at that stage, but building up some 'credit in the bank' due to successive seasons reaching QR3. Now, despite another season reaching QR3, we find ourselves unseeded in QR2, and way down the list with little prospect of that changing. What is more galling is that Sevco (who's whole European history is their tie with Progres Niedercorn) and Hibernian (with two defeats against Malmo and Brondby as their only recent history) are effectively ranked almost the same as us now. Last season we were almost double Sevco's ranking. AFC's players may enjoy their extended break - but I still think coming through 180mins in QR1 (rather than friendlies against Inverurie and St Johnstone) is the ideal preparation for QR2 and a big part of the reason we beat Groningen and Rijeka - so therefore don't have a particular good feeling about our prospects right now, especially given it'll likely be a 50% brand new team that we field. Remember Sigma Olomouc? Edited May 22, 2018 by tarapoa 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
