Sokler may still be away according to Scott Burns Ester Sokler could still leave Aberdeen over the coming days. The Slovenian striker has a number of options open to him. They include Serbia and back in his homeland. The Slovenian transfer window closes on Sunday and the Serbian one is 10 days later. It means the 26-year-old could still exit Pittodrie sooner rather than later. Sokler’s path may also have been cleared at Aberdeen by the transfer deadline signing of Kevin Nisbet. It means Thelin now has Kusini Yengi, Marko Lazetic and Nisbet for the main striking berth. The Dons were reluctant to let Sokler, who scored in the Europa play-off against FCSB, go until they got another striker in. Peter Ambrose is another who could exit. He could move overseas or even drop down to the Championship on-loan.

If we assume that Mitov, Suman, Duncan, Milne, Devlin, Nisbet, Shinnie and Frame will all be registered that leaves 15 more places available. Boyd would not need to be registered as he's come through the youth system and is u21 so that leaves 5 players out of the following who will not be registered. Gyamfi Dorrington Knoester Molloy Jensen Tobers Clarkson Polvara Nilsen Palaversa Kjartansson Milanovic Karlsson Bilalovic Aouchiche Topi Sokler Yengi Lazetic Ambrose Players I think should be left out. My first 4 weren't too tough to pick 2bh in Ambrose, Yengi, Molloy, Nilsen (though I suspect Jimmy would drop Kjartansson over him) and I suspect there won't be any arguments from anyone about those ones but the 5th one is much harder. If you pick Sokler that would leave only 2 cf's in the euro squad. If you pick Kjartansson that only leaves 3 cm's though Polvara could play there in a pinch. It may be one of the wingers that get's overlooked as if Boyd is still with us he can play there.

That's just silly Rico........ Inverness was never bombed in ww2

How long did you live up here for Al and whereabouts did you stay?

Thought the same. He had a familiar ear at both ends saying nice things about the club.

Well, whether Jesper is going to pick up the champagne moniker is yet to be seen but we wanted some decent busines today and signing two internationalists ticks that box for me. What is also significant though is both players know Thelin and how he want's to play already so it's not unreasonable to hope they both hit the ground running. Hard not to get a bit excited about Karlsson though, it does feel like punching up a weight a bit.

holy shit

what does that mean?

you tube reels can be deceiving..... but after about 4 minutes of this Charlie was the name I was starting to think of in terms of when we last signed a player of this pedigree relatively speaking.

Turnbull will be on similar

Indeed, the competition for Keskinen would be great too

shambolic window for them

Wondering that myself.

Even if so I would be surprised if we started with that a lot 2bh purely on the grounds that Aouchiche is likely to be one of our bigger wages and he wouldn't fit into that very well/at all. That's not to say it couldn't become a plan B (which every team should have imo) and could be very handy to have in the locker for harder away games.

That is nuts! Even if millwall fans don't rate him they have to be fizzing at that given what they paid for him 2 seasons ago. Makes you wonder just how low ball the first offer was if that was the third. You can just imagine Colgate on the phone to the Millwall chairman "will you take 100 quid and some 2 day old rowies for him?"

Seriously? I assumed about 750k but if it's for less than half a mill that is a proper bargain

Nah they were in the top flight and in Europe too. That was the first year of guaranteed group stage football for a 3rd scottish side.

Apparantly there are rumours on social media we are looking at former hearts winger Josh Ginnely but no clue to how true that is. He's had no game time at swansea since he waent there on a free 2 seasons ago but his stats for his last season at hearts were really good. 13 goals and 7 assists in 41 appearances. He's 28 too so a decent age, could be a handy left field bit of business if it happens

Also happy. Ability aside there are loads of advantages in bringing him back. He knows how we play, knows the league, good for euro registration (we can now register 23 players assuming Ryan Duncan is included) and he seems to have fallen in love with the club a wee bit too.

If we are putting multiple bids in I suspect we have already established he's interested and probably agreed a wage in principle with his agent.

And this is the problem at the moment and why a lot of folk on social media are getting their knee jerk on, we just feel a bit toothless other than 20 minutes against FCSB and a few goals against Morton (whose manager had other things on his mind as it turned out). I'm encouraged we are going for it with Nisbet. He defo offers something different and given the average age of the frontline brings good experience too.

I would genuinely be shocked if we are in the relegation dogfight come xmas 2bh.

The proof will be in the pudding re the upside but the aim, I would suggest anyway, is to get a team on the park that consistently is greater than the sum of it's parts. What that looks like in terms of results is always going to be evolving based on who we are playing and what state they are in. E.g beating this current celtic side would be less of an achievment than the one that started last season. Say Thelin gets it right and this time next season we are far more of a honed and settled team then that would be the baseline for a Thelin team. The strategy then is to raise the baseline season after season until the club reaches it's natural ceiling and can't really go any further unless there is a major change in circumstances (in our case there's only one thing that could do that as things stand and that is qualifying for the league phase of CL and all the money that brings). Then you see what happens quite frankly, it's sport.... there's so many variables and anything can happen.
