    Be patient for new signings, Jimmy Calderwood tells Aberdeen fans

     

    Jun 24 2008

     

    JIMMY CALDERWOOD has told Aberdeen fans, frustrated by a lack of summer signings, their patience will be rewarded with the new faces they crave.

     

    So far only midfielder Gary McDonald and keeper Bertrand Bossu have been recruited. But the Dons boss said: "I want to bring in players of quality and this can often take a bit more time than expected.

     

    "I could parade three players tomorrow because there are guys out there who would crawl all the way here for the chance to play for this club.

     

    "But I don't want to bring in players just to make up numbers. They must be able to improve the team significantly.

     

    "We had to be patient when we were pursuing Jamie Smith and Lee Miller but that course was fully rewarded in the end.

     

    "I can understand some of our fans getting a little restless because rival clubs have made signings. We will sign others as well and all I ask is for the fans to hold on a wee while longer.

     

    "We have identified our top targets and, while completing deals isn't as easy as it was a few years ago, work is going on behind the scenes all the time."

     

    Was kluiverts flight delayed?
