Only mid July and no one is going to beat this IMO for my favourite post of the year. Take a bow lad

Zirkzee to Man Utd from Bologna is now a done deal for £36.5m Sure that Bologna are due Bayern a fairly chunky sell on fee, but are still a fair few quid up on the deal. Is this the week, they make their move for Bojan ?

Oh and Shayden is going to be a huge player for us this season

Would have taken that pre kick off.

It's begining to become clearer why Duk is not an automatic first pick for Cape Verde

Seriously disappointed about this situation with Duk. He is the sort of player (on his day) that could have moved in from us with cult status Instead his petty immaturity has ruined his legacy with our club. He would have done well to pay close attention to Miovski and the way he conducts himself. Really sorry to have to say this but enjoy your year on the scrap heap with your reputation in tatters. Fine him every penny possible. I don't want to ever see him wearing Aberdeen colours again.

The time is drawing ever closer

As feared, confirmed Dante is out for fourteen to sixteen weeks. Gutted for the loon. As Rico said above, might need a loan signing until end of December at least initially.

Genuinely looks fair chuffed to be here. Little bit surprised at three year deal. Welcome aboard loon

Fuck sake Rico You're clearly a fair bit older than I thought

Don't count on Polvara. Rumour doing the rounds that he is injured and potentially out long term .

In fairness so did twenty four others

Aye taking turns serving suspensions

Deal agreed allegedly. Nilsen is on the way. Apparently likes to get stuck in.

Just seen that he turns 33 in October. If we are to sign him then must be a low fee as doesn't fit the trading model with no resale value

Sivert Heltne Nilsen, 32 year old Norwegian midfielder, previously played under Jimmy @ Elfsborg

Mr Burns pouring scorn on this rumour. Doesn't come as a great surprise to read he is out with our finances but I applaud the club if this is the level of player we're trying to get on board.

Nice one

Great game. Surprised that there was no more goals in the he second half. Spain worthy of being on the final

100% this. Disrespectful to the fans, if we were to treat these as pre season friendlies.

The lack of actual game time causes me some concerns. Would rather we had more than 90 minutes** under our belts prior to kicking off our league cup campaign. It could potentially go very wrong ** 180 if we really did play the Cove Huns a week past on Saturday.

Consi, thanks for all the memories. Fourth most Aberdeen appearances and your place in the history books assured. Don't think there was anyone more delighted than me when you achieved your international caps, particularly given it was as you were heading towards the twilight of your career and would imagine that you felt it had certainly passed you by. Put your feet up Andy, take some time out and really hope you're not completely lost to the football world. A true Aberdeen FC LEGEND

England V Holland Surely quite a dilemma for your average Hun

All over for Andy Murray @ Wimbledon. Thank you for the memories young man
