Nothing on his CV to date, at 25 years old, to suggest that he should be remotely capable at this level. I'm just clinging onto the fact that Glass has worked with him before so at least there's already a relationship there. What had Shay Logan done of note before he arrived? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has already been answered above, but Logan signed for us at a similar age to Gurr now, off the top of my head, and had accrued over 100 competitive games for Brentford and had a handful of loans at other Football League clubs under his belt too. I'm not convinced the two examples are really very comparable. I hope the lad surprises me and does well, as I hope for every Aberdeen player, but I wouldn't blame anyone for being skeptical about this one given what little we do know.

Yeah I'm getting the fear now, especially after that recent interview that said basically "we've got the base of a good team here, even if we don't bring anyone else in we've still got a good squad". Felt like an attempt to dial down fan expectations so as not to expect much more signings. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’ll be gone in January when Glass is made aware that being released by the MLS means, at best, you’re a Scottish Championship player. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We already have signed 3 players this summer ,who for me will have a big positive influence on our side next season. We also have two very decent goalkeepers . Along with two very young promising attacking fullbacks , who will get there opportunity next season and rightly so. Signing lad Gurr for cover makes sense . a lad they have watched many times so i will trust there judgment Now looking like Ramirez is coming, and after 3 seasons of depressing signings this one excites me and makes me happy as life too short nae be . The lad is nae coming for the money so I will think that he has an ambition and intent to make this a success Ferguson transfer will have big bearing on the next signings and would imagine it will be late in the window with regards more signings arriving. Its the beginning of June nae the end of August.. Many happy dandies out there who are liking what they are seeing so far. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they are planning in selling Ferguson then stop signing players like Gurr & re-signing Devlin. Say we are to get £3m or whatever, then hold off signing players just now, as a chunk of the £3m could “upgrade” on a couple of key positions, such as a creative fast winger & a “no 10”. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not up or down so far....too busy concentrating on Scotland......but there's nothing about Cormack so far that persuades me he's anything other than (as somebody put it) a snake-oil salesman. We did this much vaunted and advertised tie-up with Atlanta almost 2 years ago, and so far it's given us Jon Gallagher, the wee boy lost at right back, and now some 25 year old from Atlanta reserves that has never played a game of football. On top of that we effectively sacked the league's most experienced manager, and our most succesful manager in a generation, so that we could bring in Cormack's inexperienced mate. We all hope that it turns out well, but you can't blame anyone for saying that the foundations of mediocrity have been laid. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regards Cormack he has delivered on a training facility , engaged with fans that has never happened at the club before , and he is open to a new stadium down the beach, oh and got rid of a manager we all wanted shot off . Nae a bad start eh . early days time will tell if he is the snake oil salesman you think .. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d31 Posted June 9, 2021 Share Posted June 9, 2021 There is a long way to go in the transfer window yet. I'm hopeful we'll bring in 2 players of a higher level in the last third which is what we desperately need. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coprolite Posted June 9, 2021 Share Posted June 9, 2021 We're clearly waiting for the Euros and Copa America so that players can get over the "played 75%" threshhold. Anyone know whether Paraguay, Ecuador etc have any decent players? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the starting X1, I’d say we need; Right back Left centre half No 10 Left winger Centre forward. One or two squad fillers too probably. Hopefully will be a busy couple of weeks? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
