I genuinely believe for his own development joining Aberdeen is his best option. With us then the team will essentially be built around him. He’ll have Shinnie (hopefully) and Ramadani next to him doing a lot of the dirty work, although he’s shown he can handle himself as well. 8 European games, big games against the cheeks and Edinburgh clubs and maybe some semi finals or finals where he’ll be a pretty certain starter. Other clubs will be able to offer more money no none of them can offer that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tarapoa Posted June 8, 2023 Share Posted June 8, 2023 One of the positives of the European outcome in terms of squad building, is that the European games don't start until late August (unlike previous years when we played qualifiers as early as late June). If we don't get the loan players that served us well this season back, then presumably we make a hell of an attractive option for all the player-hoarding clubs down south and the club can bide its time as the options start presenting themselves. I see the August Europa play-off as the cliched 'free hit', and still not certain it isn't actually in our best interests to lose that. By the time the groups start later in Sep, hopefully we will be there with a squad where the calibre of loan player will if anything be at least equal, if not better, than Clarkson/ Scales/ Pollock. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJF Posted June 8, 2023 Share Posted June 8, 2023 For what it's worth, I've not seen or heard any rumours linking us with Clarkson. That's not to say we aren't interested, but I'd have assumed if we were one of the Scottish clubs alluded to with an interest then you'd normally start to see speculation starting online. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dons_1988 Posted June 9, 2023 Share Posted June 9, 2023 I see the annual panic about a lack of signings has begun in earnest. 9 June is impressive, especially when this year our season doesn’t actually start until august. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t understand the panic. Most players away on holidays. We seem do most of business days or the day we come back for it. rather we are at the days of waiting and getting the correct player in than 9 boys rocking up for a trial 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not having a released list is a little odd but would suggest it’s not all fully resolved yet. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't like the headline today about the uncertainty around Graeme Shinnie's potential transfer, and I don't understand how a club having a transfer embargo stops them from selling players. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was wondering that. I suspect it's partly that some news outlets have AI writing articles and don't sense check anything if it looks plausible. But it might also be because they need x number of players, have a few going out of contracts or loans ending and can't easily sign a replacement so just need him to make up numbers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think it does stop them from selling players, but they can’t sign anyone so possibly not as willing to let him leave. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
