20% (4) of his entire career total goals (20) have come against... Go on, guess. Back using McInnes criteria for signings.

14 goals in 0 matches. Better than Pele.

Is Morrison fit? Noticed he hadn't made the matchday squad for their past 3 games, whereas Timothy Akindenali the raw 17 year old central defender they signed from us a year ago did make the bench for their FA Cup game against West Ham.

It’s ok lads, this one is Queen’s Park Rangers so it’s fine

So where does that leave us on loans? You can have a maximum of six in a season. Cameron, Morrison, Olusanya, Aouchiche, Karlsson. Does Dorrington still count or does him leaving free up space? If so, that would allow a goalkeeper on loan.

Sounds like this one has legs. May well be next in the door. Very quick, not a lot else as I recall. Not sure how this helps apart fae on numbers. Don’t have nightmares Ruby…

Fixed that for you.

That's certainly what happened when it was decided when McInnes was leaving, and when Robson was caretaker. On both counts, it was a catastrophic decision. You need to keep a club ticking over in terms of ins and outs. We apparently have a recruitment team with a lot more sway than previously, they should be trusted to make signings. Loanees are fine late in the window, with an option to buy preferably. Two loanees in January means two more signings required in the summer, which generally means four more in order to get two. A new manager is getting a bunch of guys he won't know anyway, adding another two to that using our ability to scout good players alongside a general knowledge of what we're missing is far less risky than not signing anyone.

I’m guessing the strategy is to stick wi loans in the main in order to give the new manager maximum flexibility over the squad in the summer. This boy seems to have a good pedigree tbf. Ariel ability is highlighted in his profile so that’s a big plus. I am of course also making the rather large assumption that we actually have a strategy of course…

Ta. Fuck.

Loan

Think MLS sits out of the transfer window for counting as this season I think so probably okay. Was never impressed with Olusanya at St Mirren. His best season was 8 goals in premier league.

Not happy at all loan with no option to buy.

It’s nae Trump mistaking Mastrick Land for Greenland, is it?

No idea how true it is, but Talksport journalist saying Toyosi Olusanya coming to Aberdeen. Was good at St Mirren, but has done nothing for Houston Dynamo or in his loan spell at Doncaster Rovers. Don't know if his time at Houston counts as this season or not so he might not eligible anyway, dunno how the MLS works.

Loan or contract?

Interesting that Morrison was at both Rangers and Celtic as a youth. I assume that someone at Ibrox found out which school he went to, and he was quickly let go.

If you want to watch Scotland in a pub in Aberdeen, then you can. The council has granted licenses for the pubs to stay open.

That’s Morrison in the door then. Hopefully more to come…

Who, Anthony Joseph or Ben Stanway?

Excellent post. As I said elsewhere, because fans are frustrated with our current situation, everyone’s getting it in the neck, deservedly or not.

That is true but I reckon make Wall St and the $ wobble (OK the world catches a cold) and he's gone. Sure it's a risk but if Europe is smart about this they can possibly set themselves up as the leading economic power. The UK could .... oh wait.

But we are dealing with a deranged person, who has surrounded himself with even more deranged people. I think he and his cabal of cunts have passed the point of no return now. I hope the EU find some balls to deal with it, as I wouldn't be expecting anything from the UK.

Shankland out for 6-8 weeks.

I dont think Dave is doing a bad job, I don’t understand your strong dislike. I certainly understand your frustration with the current situation. Of course the club and Dave have made mistakes, that’s not abnormal in football, and has been acknowledged I think. football is an impossible business. Most clubs and managers fail. Most replace managers regularly, most don’t win anything. That’s the game. cormack has brought investment. A training ground. A director of football. Increasing playing funds. We’re signing players who played for ac Milan, man city, PSG, Liverpool, loaner from spurs, highly regarded youngsters, internationalists. I get many of these haven’t worked out but it’s much greater ambition than league 1 and 2, wycombe Stockport and the likes. I certainly think we can get better balance, and I think that has been acknowledged too. rangers and Celtic have been a mess this season, hearts have recently been a mess. We’ve signed managers, with the exception of glass, that while not always my choice, made sense. its always darkest before dawn, perhaps we’re close to the beginning of something special. We won a trophy last season, maybe luckily, maybe we repeat? Unlikely but I think we’ve got a man in charge who is fully invested, will spend, is ambitious, and wants success. That’s not easy.
