Hancock did look decent in the LC groups last summer but if there’s not a realistic chance of him becoming a first team regular then it’s probably best that he goes elsewhere. A new first team coach will be required as well with Liam Fox moving on. You need your MacKenzie and Hancock types to balance out the regular starters too, though. People jump up and down about MacKenzie not being great but I could see him being the next Considine. 4 minutes ago, HarleyQuinn said: I thought he looked decent on his debut for us. I recall Goodwin saying he was very impressed with both Hancock and Milne in preseason. Surprisingly Hancock didn't feature much for Arbroath during his loan move. Looks like you were right too on Sokler. Not a project player but ready to compete in the starting 11 alongside Duk and Miovski. I wonder what the transfer fee we've paid for him is. List of players released, sold or loan ended: Ross McCrorie, Clarkson, Coulson, Gorter, Markanday, Mysolvic, Pollock, Scales, Shinnie, Kennedy, Watkins, Hancock, Campbell and McLennan. Waiting to hear on Liam Harvey. Liam Fox has left to be closer to his family in the central belt. I'm not overly disappointed tbh. I'm hoping Robson can source another Agnew type from down south. Allan Burrows has tweeted, "The hope/expectation is we'll have a couple of new signings to announce in the near future ahead of what will be a busy transfer window at Pittodrie." Potential loan move for Liverpool winger Harvey Blair. Portsmouth, Kilmarnock and Leyton Orient also reported to be interested. Hancock picked up a bad injury at Arbroath. Maybe isn't looking the same player since returning. He looked very good on the ball but Robson will know him well so happy to trust his judgement on this one. Sokler maybe around the £300-400k mark, you'd imagine. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sad about Dean Campbell with him being a dandy but the last 2 seasons he has went a bit backwards. Massive rebuilt needed but thankfully we have a lot more time than in previous seasons.

Dons_1988 Posted June 13, 2023 Share Posted June 13, 2023 I thought dean campbell showed a lot of promise at centre half tbqh but maybe without scott brown to guide him he’s not up to it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suspect Sokler could even be a good bit less than that. I dont think we'd be jumping on him this early at that price. There is not a lot of money in Slovenian football so could be cheap. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, although MacKenzie being there is possibly a factor in him not getting a new deal as they play the same position. We’ve also got Hayes who can play there and possibly Scales/another new left sided defender. Without much chance of a route to the first team, it’s probably better for his career that he looks for options in the championship, league one or back down in England. As you say, Robson will know better than anyone. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So bit of circumstances going against him especially if assuming those two, Mackenzie and Hayes are not the starting left side defenders 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrewDon Posted June 13, 2023 Share Posted June 13, 2023 I have always quite liked Kennedy as a player. It is probably right for both parties that he moves on, but he will be a decent pick up for someone. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Presume Lewis, Roberts and Stewart will all disappear by mutual consent before the first day of pre-season and suspect another 2 or 3 by deadline day. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s £13k per week approximately off the wage bill, albeit we’ll be out of pocket initially. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bogbrush1903 Posted June 13, 2023 Share Posted June 13, 2023 (edited) Just that Joe Lewis was obviously saying farewell at the St Mirren and Celtic games so I thought he would be announced along with those out of contract. In essence, what I mean is that I thought his departure would be a straightforward affair, with him likely to retire.

Maybe a return to Englandshire at the end of August, nearer his Norfolk roots would be my guess. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
