kingjoey Posted August 22, 2023 Share Posted August 22, 2023 1 hour ago, tarapoa said: Looks like a different 'option'. In this league, it sometimes pays to have a big unit up front - though they often struggle to win over many of our fans. Again, maybe signs that there is a Plan B & C - and finally something resembling a squad equipped to fight on three fronts between now and the turn of the year. I genuinely thought the club would happily wait it out until deadline day, with the usual loan options - but if landed, these signings would remain consistent with Barry stating he would prefer more 'Aberdeen players'' after finishing last season with eight first team squad players that belonged to other clubs. Just found out that the transfer window closes at 11.00pm on 1st September. Was worried that it was 31st August. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be nice to have one more option in there, especially if Barron isn't in serious contention. I rate Scales higher than most of our fans, but I would imagine that they have settled on Jensen as an alternative because he has a similar profile. And much less than half the alleged £1.1m the **** wanted for their 5th or 6th choice centre half 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First season there it showed him as a very good, dynamic goalscoring target man. Second season seemed more static but still a goalscoring target man. Last season he lost the goals and his only value seemed to be aerially. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bogbrush1903 Posted August 22, 2023 Share Posted August 22, 2023 (edited) In a fleeting moment of optimism, my hope with regards McGrath is that he might flourish surrounded by better players... And maybe his old man will keep his nose out and the lad can concentrate on playing well for us without constantly looking for a move.

Yeah on trying to get a bite mate. Good player is McGrath and would have had him at ER. Hearts will say hes shit and never wanted him and clearly be really angrily serious.

HarleyQuinn Posted August 22, 2023 Share Posted August 22, 2023 Pape Habib Gueye might be better suited to the scottish game given his height. I'm excited to see him play. I fear Duk may be away. My heart was already broken with the sale of Ramadani. Jensen sounds promising. 9 caps in the last year for Finland. More than half the price of Scales. We are supposedly still monitoring that situation. Im over the shock. McGrath is a good player. I think he'll pleasantly surprise some of us. If we sign a decent defensive midfielder (Potentially Jensen) to replace Ramadani. I'll be pleased with this window. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we play Jensen as a defensive midfielder that still leaves us a left sided centre half short. FWIW, I don’t think he’ll play there. We do need a Ramadani type though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both the solvenian and North Macedonian sounded promising players. Possibly failed in our attempts. I see both Millwall and Watford were looking to sign Gueye for 2 million a few years ago. Only 23. Clearly has potential. Could be a brilliant signing. How much for Duk realistically? 6 million. More? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully the Saudis show an interest, but not before January, preferably next summer. Your figure is realistic, but effectively getting £3m for Duk seems light. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel he'd have to replicate last season's form to command a fee better than 6 million. A profit of 3 million is still fantastic given we paid nothing for him. Our player trading has certainly improved under Cormack. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we can keep him until after the summer window closes he’ll be away on African cup of nations in January so unlikely be sold. Meaning a good tournament and get even more for him 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
