tarapoa Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 In one of Boyd’s anti-Shinnie diatribes, he mentioned that Paul Coutts was a much better player and should be in the Scotland squad ahead of him! Presumably he’s already minted, so maybe a couple of years at his hometown club is a good shout. McInnes mentioned tonight at an event that 3 players from the 8 new ones required likely to be secured within next week or so, including “captain material”. Maybe putting two and two together and getting five, but this seems plausible. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anotherchance Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 Shaughnessy could be the captain material comment?Imagine it would be, if only because we’ve confirmed interest in him and I’m not sure we’d have the foresight to move that quickly for Coutts if he’s only been freed in the last day or so.A bit meh but wouldn’t be horrified. Cover for right back too I guess. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

d31 Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 I agree but I'd think his comment was more likely referencing him than the dons signing Fletcher, Adam or Coutts before the end of the season Of course he could have been speaking absolute tripe 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d31 Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 Other tit bits from last night: There will be loans again - there is a budget to stick to and some loans allow that to go a bit further Club will be making a huge PR exercise across news, social media etc on Wednesday Shinnie and GMS fit for Hibs GMS likely to go to MLS Ethan Ross to be a first team starter next season Captain could be Logan, Lewis, McKenna or a couple of the new players also 7-8 players to be signed this summer 2-3 players to be signed in the next two weeks Lots of other teams were interested in Joe Lewis so the deal has had to be structured in a way that was acceptable to all parties 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d31 Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 so from that I'd guess are we gonna sign someone on Wednesday or maybe the strip will be released? Ferguson and Devlin not in running for captain? Ethan Ross comment is interesting. maybe not jump ahead of McLennan. but sounds like ahead of wright or F ross Joe Lewis probably got a release clause by sounds of it 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never knew about the Atlanta link up ?. aye sounds right what you are saying regards naming rights could well be but quality signings is all we want to hear and see .. i can understand this relentless push for funds and publicity for staduim but board and derek need to give us more back with decent recruitment or next season could be painful. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Atlanta thing was rumoured a while back. Not long after Bocanegra was at Pittodrie. Seemed to be kept quiet then they casually threw his name in when talking about the new stadium facilities that he was impressed blah blah. Can't see any reason why he'd come to Pittodrie at all although with Cormack being based over there when he was in the states I guess he could be visiting a pal. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Over to you derek and stewarty . incoming dominic ball 5 year deal . Mackay-Steven's two year deal ended up being a stop-start and underwhelming - whether that was his attitude or the bigot brother inflicted injuries - but it would be nice if he'd hung around and given us a proper season. Still the MLS must be tempting, but the manager still seems to feel it's beneath him. He tends to do well at Easter Road though, so not worst place to sign off. Interesting on the DNA comments and on STs - I am blindly institutionalised, so will renew both with no arguments. Then I look at comparisons with, for example, the Edinburgh clubs. It hasn't always been the case, but they seem to put less conditions on renewing than many of our fans. You'd think we were relegation candidates when you read some folks - not so much here, but one or two of the social media sites.

Guest Bob Mahelp Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 I see that Tommy Hoban wants to join us permanently. I can see him being the 'like a new signing' signing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodhull Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 Isn't he still out for a long time though? Can't see them chancing on him as a summer signing without at least letting him get back from his current injury surely. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think it was GMS's fault that this season was 'stop-start' (mainly stop). Two pretty bad injuries put paid to his involvement almost from the beginning of December onwards. His time at Pittodrie should be looked upon as a success. We took a bit-part player at Celtic who was low on confidence and turned him into a Scotland international. If he could have played against Hibs every week he would have been world player of the year. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Recently the chat has simmered down to "he should concentrate on getting fit and then we'll look at it". Great player when he was available. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
