Really can't see it. Going by Wikipedia that guys under contract until 2024 and was last bought for 1.5 million so pretty confident it'd not be him. if being young isn't necessarily a pre-requisite the guy Hoffman at Karlsruhe could be a possibility. Hard to see why anyone doing well in that league would want to come to Aberdeen though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoffman has agreed to join Bochum from 1 July so it won't be him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DunbartonshireRed Posted May 27, 2022 Share Posted May 27, 2022 Wonder if the source is Haraldur? . I can't see anyone on the top scorer list that appears to be out of contract. And Transfermarkt has them all valued at over £1.5m so either we are paying a fee or somebody is pulling your pisser. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if he meant Bundesliga 3 rather than Bundesliga 2 as they have strikers who would be in our price range? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No idea why he would think that though To be fair (this is also in reply to the others discussing the BL.2 striker above), while he has his flaws, Cormack has shown a readiness to pay transfer fees, and I genuinely could see him paying a fee like that for a player they think has sell on value. Doubly so if we bring in big fees for Ramsay and Ferguson. We've seen how spending £100M of money that you don't have can buy your way to a Europa League final. Speculating to accumulate is a viable strategy, provided you have the right people in place. It's a big risk, but we've spectacularly failed to capitalise on Rangers demise, and it's going to take some risks to make us competitive again. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m all for a bit of spending, but given the number of holes to fill, I’d thought 3 500k players would be more likely than 1 for over a million 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No idea why he would think that though I was just thinking that if this new stadium is ever built then I hope we retain Pittodrie in the stadium name....New Pittodrie Stadium or The Pittodrie 2.0 stadium. Well maybe not the latter but something along the Pittodrie lines.. Edited May 27, 2022 by Bogbrush1903 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We could bring in a very sizeable amount for Ferguson and Ramsay. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lubo_blaha Posted May 27, 2022 Share Posted May 27, 2022 Goodwin is saying we’re looking at players in the 24-28 age bracket.This is a good thing imo, I thought it was strange that our squad last season was essentially made up of kids and guys aged 30+. All well and good investing in 19/20/21 year old players but you can’t have a team full of them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Piss off Cormack ltd Posted May 27, 2022 Share Posted May 27, 2022 Wouldn't be surprised to know we've missed out on 1 or 2 of our top targets and have had to look elsewhere, probably plan b signings. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So what if we've missed out on our first and/or second choice targets. The new recruitment team identified 6 players in each position that they believe will improve the squad. Even if we were to sign our 6th choice targets - they'll still likely be good players. It wouldn't take much to improve the current squad. The transfer window hasn't even opened. Have patience.
