Interesting article on culjak http://spfl.co.uk/news/article/scouting-report--lucas-uljak/

The wide positions are reasonably covered, Pawlett can play either side (a position he is better suited to then behind the striker IMO) and Wright has impressed when he has appeared but is unproven. Going to be interesting to see how parker will be deployed, if at all. Monakana didn't really get much game time and no starts if memory serves. Thing is the past year or so have been pretty kind to us injury wise in the forward areas. With Rooney Hayes and Mcginn playing virtually every game loans and youths like smith and shankland have not had a look in. Still it would appear Deek has been watching him a while so maybe he will have an impact but it's hard to get overly excited about this deal when it's so short and when you know so little about him.

Great result :-)

Whilst I don't think it's ever going to be an easy job the number of leaders in the squad has really helped his transition into the role imo

Turns out Arnie now plays for Malmo, all the more reason to root for them

Anyone have a international red tv account? If so could you pm me pls?

Sounds like we made that much harder than we needed it to be but 9/9 regardless. That'll do.

I can see DG starting more away games this season after his euro performances.

Tim's have confirmed it as a done deal on a 4 year contract.... this is fucking bizarre signing for them. He's not even as good as what they currently have for the position let alone better and he's a staunch hun. If they really wanted to sign an attacking midfield prodigy they should have gone for christie from ict

Aye but if he's a proper hun though....

I just can't see Allan agreeing to move, why would he? He just has to wait 6 months and sign a pre contract with the 'orribles

I still think a new stadium is the best value for money in terms of facilities but the consistent problems of finding a location for a new ground may be forcing the club's hand.

Not that it happens these days but it used to do my head in when hun cunt and useless pundit Craig Patterson used to say "Jimmy Calderwood will be sounding the bugles on the touchline" or words to that effect. Cunt

I think DVD is clearly a talented player, he's technically good, can pick a pass etc. I question his defensive ability though and losing denayer was a far bigger blow to the Celtic back line then VD going will ever be. Killie last night is the prime example, it was very easy for Maggenis to win headers in the box. Ten mill is good money in the bank for them but it doesn't mean they will get an equally good player in to compensate, especially if they don't make the cl group stages

Aye Deek doesn't do polishing turds. For the most part his signings have been pretty decent I would say. Rooney, Shinnie, Maclean, Ward, Logan, flood and to a certain extent Goodie you just can't argue with. Jury is still out on Taylor but he has defo improved. Loans like Monakana, Tate, and the short term for Driver I have no issue with as they provided squad depth despite not overly impressing. Yes there has been wyldes and zola's but you could argue these were made when the club needed positions filled and were unable to find better at the time. Overall Deek has more than earned the right to expect a little faith from the fans and if a signing doesn't work out we know the will be moved on pronto

Pahahaha John Collins

#awkward Sorry bud, was only jesting.

Agreed, I like Wright a lot. If DM was to be poached tomorrow himself and Hartley would be top of my shortlist

The only person I can't keep up with is yo momma ;-)

Well here's one right out of left field https://www.eveningexpress.co.uk/fp/aberdeen-fc/dons-homing-in-on-red-star-belgrade-striker/

Shaqiri looked brilliant at the 2010 world cup but doesn't really seem to have done much since. Stoke could be a really good move for him

I ain't got no six pack

Yeah but it's Hamilton. Play full strength against the tims, shake it up against Hamilton, full strength against hertz. Easy

DM stirring the pot nicely in the herald, he really does remind me of fergie sometimes. The Aberdeen manager Derek McInnes has slapped down Ronny Deila's assistant, John Collins, over comments in which he claimed that Scottish players are not good enough to offer Celtic proper preparation for European football. The Parkhead No.2 sparked widespread anger when he claimed Ladbrokes Premiership players are not good enough to test the champions and that his side had to learn how to defend better in Europe. He claimed Scottish players are not clever, nor quick enough, thinkers to give Deila's outfit a real challenge and that there are not enough quality players to punish them. But McInnes reacted angrily to reports of Collins's remarks which he called disrespectful. "He's got a lot to say for an assistant manager, to be honest," McInnes insisted. "He's entitled to his opinion but if it was that easy they'd win the treble every year. "I think it's very disparaging; it's a poor comment. "Whether he thinks that or not, I think it's disrespectful to the rest of the league to say that. It's disappointing. "There is a level of competition there that can test them and I think what he said is a slap in the face to the rest of the league." Collins accusations are bound to foster antagonism from other managers while McInnes's retort could signal a tense game when the teams meet at Pittodrie on September 12.
