naegoodinthedark Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 They have sold 1630 AberDNA so far That’s a decent amount so far I’d say. I haven’t got round to it yet, ‘coz I’m a bit of a miserable b*****d likes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrewDon Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 Some interesting suggestions raised by Richard Wilson in this article: http://www.thefootballlife.co.uk/post/173192237431/aberdeen-summer-scouting-report-2018. I would certainly like to see us take a more expansive approach to recruitment rather than restricting ourselves by relying almost entirely on the English lower leagues. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guy gets a massive 10 out of 10 for bizarre randomness, I'll give him that. None of these players are likely to have names in the McInnes transfer tombola come July, of that I'm certain. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He isn't claiming that they will be on McInnes or Richardson's radars; but he is correct about the need to look beyond merely the narrow confines of the English lower leagues, even if it does mean taking one or two more 'risks' in the transfer market. Alas, I fear that we will not, which is a pity. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RussellAnderson Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 It sure beats being linked to Alan Gow. The author's got a pretty good handle on our issues at the moment. Someone forward it on to Derek. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's hard to see where we're going to get the necessary quality from the English lower leagues to completely re-build the side to the standard required. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tarapoa Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 McInnes could do with giving this lad a call, and maybe getting a taxi for Russ Richardson. Last summer's signing policy seemed to be a Who's Who of an SPL highlights video of the 2013/14 season - with May, Tansey, GMS and Stewart all prominent. I'm not sure how much thought went into how these players would be used and fit into the playing system. Maybe that was a consequence of the manager thinking he was possibly going to be working elsewhere this season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reading through this, the interesting bit is finding a partner for Scott McKenna. I take it, like a lot of folk, he’s forgotten about Mikey Devlin, who is the partner for Scott McKenna. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we assume that Arnason and O'Connor will move on, however, we will likely be recruiting at least one more centre-back. Moreover, whilst Devlin will hopefully come good for us, Hamilton fans haven't exactly showered him with universally positive testimonials, so it would be naive to go into next season without an alternative option to partner McKenna (excluding Reynolds). I suppose, if we bring in an upgrade for Considine at left-back, he could then be another option for such a role, although McInnes might not be keen on two left-footed centre-backs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
betting competition Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 (edited) Just looking at Aberdeen League Points stats since 3 points was introduced in the Scottish game from the season 1994-1995 (Hopefully correct info below). 36 games a season 1994-1995 - 41 points 1995-1996 - 55 points 1996-1997 - 44 points 1997-1998 - 39 points 1998-1999 - 37 points 1999-2000 - 33 points 38 games a season 2000-2001 - 45 points 2001-2002 - 55 points 2002-2003 - 49 points 2003-2004 - 34 points 2004-2005 - 61 points 2005-2006 - 54 points 2006-2007 - 65 points 2007-2008 - 53 points 2008-2009 - 53 points 2009-2010 - 41 points 2010-2011 - 38 points 2011-2012 - 41 points 2012-2013 - 48 pointsDerek McInnes 2013-2014 - 68 points 2014-2015 - 75 points 2015-2016 - 71 points 2016-2017 - 76 points 2017-2018 - 65 points (4 games still to be played) The reason I've done this stats is to wonder why minority of Aberdeen fans want McInnes out when in the 24 years apart from 2 season from Jimmy Calderwood we have got nowhere near the points total that Derek McInnes teams have achieved? I suppose some arguments will be that for a few seasons it was a weaker league and many will be unhappy with our record against Rangers/Celtic in last few seasons. Some may also argue that the football this season hasn't been the level of the last 3 or 4 seasons. Others may also go on about only 1 trophy won since McInnes come in. I've got a feeling this could be Derek McInnes last season in charge of us but I feel he has done a fantastic job and don't think there is anyone out there that can do a better job at present Edited April 23, 2018 by betting competition 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got a feeling this could be Derek McInnes last season in charge of us but I feel he has done a fantastic job and don't think there is anyone out there that can do a better job at present I wouldn't want McInnes gone but the criticism of only winning one trophy is a valid one, particularly as he's said himself that he wants to be judged at the end of his time here on winning multiple trophies.Tactically in semi finals, he's at times been left pretty short. Failed to respond to Wright pulling May out left at Ibrox then shelling it on top of Logan and flicking it down for May to run at an aging Russell Anderson. Failed to respond to McNamara taking on Dow for Telfer at Hampden by taking Flood off for a fitter player capable of nullifying Dow. They were the two big chances to win another trophy with United waiting in the Scottish Cup Final and a weak Celtic in the League Cup.I don't want rid of him per se but there's room for reflective criticism on chances missed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there probably is someone who could do better. The chances of us finding and employing such a person are tiny though. Interesting comparison with tangoman though. If i remember rightly he was sacked because of his shit cup record. Should we have stuck with him because he was our best manager (according to miniskirts) for 15 years? I would stick with DM myself. 10 years ago a top four finish and two semis would have been a rare treat, not a disappointing season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
