The argument with Philips isn't whether he's good enough for us or not. I think he would do a decent job for us. The issue is this foundation you're talking about. We've no assets in the team. At the moment, Aberdeen absolutely need to not only qualify for Europe, but make the group stage, because otherwise we'll be running at a loss. We have no Ramsay, Miovski or Lewis Ferguson to cash in on, and we don't have a squad that looks capable of finishing top four or winning the Scottish Cup - all needed to achieve any hope of the group stages. Nisbet? Ronan? Smith? Good players but probably all at the age where this is their peak years, unlikely anyone is paying big money. Shankland a good example in that he was a POTY nominee but was wanted by Rangers and that was pretty much it. Who else? Lobban, Frame and Marshall - one out on loan and down a division, one the manager doesn't rate, the other probably going to go on loan. Yogane? I'd love to think he'll become a big asset but I fear the players he's replacing - Keskinen and Bilalovic - have more potential. Can go through the team, I don't see any seven-figure rated player. I see too many Lyons, Caddens, Happes, Mayos and Guinness-Walkers. Who are the stars that stand out - Olusanya? Phillips is young, sure, but we'd be paying him 500k plus 2/3 years of salary. By the time it comes to sell him we'd make a loss because he's never going to be a £3m+ plus add ons kinda player. Compare that to Motherwell and Hearts. They have a foundation, and Hearts have just banked group stage football, but they also have assets. They've not only a good squad but a business model. Hibs could make group stage this week too. We have an average team that we are hoping perform miracles. What is the long term goal here?

Totally agree. Getting better every season whilst stepping up levels. Bossed things against Motherwell and for me is a better player than Marshall in my opinion based on what I seen of Marshall when at cove. Not a bad guy to have in the squad. Will run through a brick wall, has two feet and a thoroughly decent guy too.

Queensryche - Operation: Mindcrime

Gary Moore - Monday on My Mind

Bouaddi who was outstanding at World Cup joins Manchester City for £85m.

Sorry like, but this is what AI sys in answer to "Has neoliberalism worked?" Neoliberalism has delivered significant global market integration and wealth generation, but critics and major institutions increasingly argue that it has failed to secure broad-based prosperity, leading instead to severe inequality and economic instability. I could churn out words on any subject you want but I cost more than AI.

Is 'at boy Claude not worth a look?

The Mamas and the Papas - Monday, Monday

Looking for some holiday reading. Bought a bunch of stuff from horror, to 'funny' fiction, to crime. Quite fancying The Trial by Kafka. For some reason I've never read any of his stuff. Anyone read much Kafka? Worth a go?

Nice. I've not been to the Fringe since before the plague

3rd for Mbappe makes it 4-1. Running away with it now.

Madrid comfortable now with Vinicius making it 3-1 after great play by Bellingham.

Mbappe with another good finish to put Madrid 2-1 up.

I saw cabaret, comedy & theatre today have been to 16 shows got 4 more to go 😂 I've seen two brilliant footie plays - one about gaelic football in Northern Ireland and one about John White who was a spurs player that got stuck by lightning in the 1960s.

Delighted for Allan Preston, this must feel like actually winning a European trophy for him.

Mbappe puts Madrid 1 up with a brilliant finish but Sociedad have equalised and whistles already from the Madrid fans at half time.

Real Madrid making heavy weather of it against Sociedad at home. 0-0 after 35 minutes.

That has to be their best result in Europe for a loooooong time.

Ach weel .... Farts win on pens .. upside? Mair Euro games for them tae fuck up their league prospects.

Hunbos through on penalties.

Hearts do love a late goal.

Not sure Hunbos are going to have any players fit to take the penalties.

YASS! 2-2
