Plus 3/4 loans which could be a centre back, a centre mid, a winger and a striker. Again I'm very hopeful that due to Sheerin having worked in the 20's for years he's identified quite a few players to come in and improve us as well as themselves. As a side note I noticed the Aberdeen u20's just scudded the Dundee United u20's the other week. Dundee United team included Neilson and Fotheringham. Not much to take from results in those youth games but interesting none the less.
I'm waiting until we see what striker they bring in before wetting my knickers but equally I'm disappointed we don't seem to have addressed the legs in the middle of the park. Hopefully Hetherington and Keena aren't out for long and I'm also hoping Telfer will be a starter in that 3 in midfield as he makes us tick. Sheerin could plan on having the three in the middle play as two sitters with one playing in the hole when we're attacking, kind of like what Scotland have been doing with the three in the middle, as we certainly have enough players to play in the 10 position.
Ross looks to be a midfielder who's relatively non existent throughout the game but he'll make runs in beyond the front three to give us another option which to be fair we never had any of last season.
