Most of your fans would've been raging if you'd signed Shaun Rooney 12 months ago, IMO. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you’d be happy with us bringing in a Scottish Championship defender in his mid 20’s would you? I wouldn’t. So far, Cormack has been little more than bluster & snake oil this summer…. so far. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bizarre doesn’t cover it. I dunno what's a worse read. St. Johnstone fans telling St. Mirren fans and each other that Tanser play's better in a 3-5-2 and is suspect defensively repeatedly for approx. 10 pages yesterday and is most likely still going strong now or the "our Int. RB / 2nd choice/ 4th choice" shit regurgitated on every AFC forum / twitter ad infinitum at the mere mention of Gurr. He could sign on for £850,000.01 and a lifetime family pass at Codonas, be a very average backup RB for a season till he leaves for AC Mill Inn on a free and would still have been as good or better value than Ronald "17 caps for Venezuela , the next Cafu" Hernandez was in the what 6? games he played.

There's no point in wasting energy before he's even signed a contract. I'll be the first c**t complaining he's not up to scratch if he flops. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rodhull Posted June 8, 2021 Share Posted June 8, 2021 15 minutes ago, Thenorthernlight said: Not sure how he can qualify for a visa? If it goes to an appeal the SFA can approve a visa if they don't meet the criteria but they consider them to be an exceptional enough talent. No idea if Ramirez would get it or not but I think the SFA would have the final say. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing on his CV to date, at 25 years old, to suggest that he should be remotely capable at this level. I'm just clinging onto the fact that Glass has worked with him before so at least there's already a relationship there. What had Shay Logan done of note before he arrived? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrewDon Posted June 8, 2021 Share Posted June 8, 2021 (edited) 30 minutes ago, kingjoey said: What had Shay Logan done of note before he arrived? It has already been answered above, but Logan signed for us at a similar age to Gurr now, off the top of my head, and had accrued over 100 competitive games for Brentford and had a handful of loans at other Football League clubs under his belt too. I'm not convinced the two examples are really very comparable. I hope the lad surprises me and does well, as I hope for every Aberdeen player, but I wouldn't blame anyone for being skeptical about this one given what little we do know.

We already have signed 3 players this summer ,who for me will have a big positive influence on our side next season. We also have two very decent goalkeepers . Along with two very young promising attacking fullbacks , who will get there opportunity next season and rightly so. Signing lad Gurr for cover makes sense . a lad they have watched many times so i will trust there judgment Now looking like Ramirez is coming, and after 3 seasons of depressing signings this one excites me and makes me happy as life too short nae be . The lad is nae coming for the money so I will think that he has an ambition and intent to make this a success Ferguson transfer will have big bearing on the next signings and would imagine it will be late in the window with regards more signings arriving. Its the beginning of June nae the end of August.. Many happy dandies out there who are liking what they are seeing so far. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they are planning in selling Ferguson then stop signing players like Gurr & re-signing Devlin. Say we are to get £3m or whatever, then hold off signing players just now, as a chunk of the £3m could “upgrade” on a couple of key positions, such as a creative fast winger & a “no 10”. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not up or down so far....too busy concentrating on Scotland......but there's nothing about Cormack so far that persuades me he's anything other than (as somebody put it) a snake-oil salesman. We did this much vaunted and advertised tie-up with Atlanta almost 2 years ago, and so far it's given us Jon Gallagher, the wee boy lost at right back, and now some 25 year old from Atlanta reserves that has never played a game of football. On top of that we effectively sacked the league's most experienced manager, and our most succesful manager in a generation, so that we could bring in Cormack's inexperienced mate. We all hope that it turns out well, but you can't blame anyone for saying that the foundations of mediocrity have been laid. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
