Hope you are not wrong too. What's our mid season record like though? From memory only Christie stands out. Or was maclean January too? Edited December 30, 2019 by coprolite Just thought Ferguson might have been mid-season too, but more exception than rule 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akredz Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 Hope you are not wrong too. What's our mid season record like though? Appalling.At the very least we're going to need to sign a healthy midfielder, even if it is just for 6 months. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irrational Behaviour Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 7 hours ago, coprolite said: I disagree. We have plenty creativity but it is no good on the bench. Personally think that Mcginn and Wilson should start but hedges and mclennan are "luxury players" who can be replaced by runners (Gallagher, Main) for the two opponents we need to worry about. Not to play utter dross. I agree that we are reliant on Cosgrove and Mcginn but I don't think it's much of a criticism, in our position, to rely on your best players. Easy for me to say though We desperately need a number 10. Effectively someone who can offer something between the midfield and the striker. If we had a Maddison style loan in this team, we'd create far more. I think I read that we've had 5 shots on target in our last 3 games. Simply not enough. To be fair, we've been extremely clinical. It wouldn't surprise me if we had the lowest of shots in the league this season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From memory only Christie stands out. Or was maclean January too? Well he has said on a couple of occasions that the squad is definitely light on numbers with Leigh and Bryson injured and they would need to bring in at least 2 during the window. Pretty sure Cormack also said there was scope to bring in. Dont think they can say this and not follow through so fairly certain. And Gleeson been told free to go aswell. Add Vyner into it now aswell, possibly out for the season. Edited December 30, 2019 by big al 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big al Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 Not nice to slag players but Curtis Main is just not good enough at football to be playing for Aberdeen. He has to move on if something else can be arranged. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matty Kennedy and Stephen O’Donnell seem to be the two rumours atm. Not convinced Kennedy is someone we need, but I suspect that one is just paper talk. I’d like O’Donnell though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muzza81 Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 Kennedy would do a job sitting on the bench alongside all the other creative players. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
naegoodinthedark Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 I think, if we see anyone coming in, it’ll be a couple of randoms from the states. I’d like to see us send Main to them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rodhull Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 (edited) Alan Nixon of the Sun saying Aberdeen are looking at centre Half's. Guessing this must be due to expecting McKenna to go as Vyner rarely plays there for us. Seen a few people saying Liam Lindsay is one being looked at but would be a surprising one of Stoke let him go even on loan as he seems to be in their matchday squad pretty much every week.

Rodhull Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 Nah pretty sure McLean was signed for a small fee in January as his contract was running out. Had some other solid signings like Church on loan too I think but yeah a lot of dross. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lindsay's being linked with Hearts too and he played for Stendel at Barnsley but maybe Stoke signing McKenna and sending us Lindsay to the end of the season is a possibility. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hes our best winger and the difference in position is worth £100k+, while relegation could cost over a million, we wont harm our own chances for a nominal fee. FWIW you've not actually approached him, simply told his agent to keep you in the loop about what's happening. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottorae Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 I think McKenna will be away in Jan although I don’t think we should be dropping our asking price significantly. SOD and Kennedy would be excellent signings.We need to be persevering with Hedges, maybe even as a 10.Not keen on more loans and therefore wouldn’t be keen on Liam Lindsay.Main is here to stay, no way mcinnes would punt him out on loan despite it being obvious he is nowhere near good enough to replace Cosgrove when he likely goes in the summer.I’m not sure there are many other decent potential signings in Scotland right now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
