A few folk saying we don't really need Scales or another left sided CB. What we need to remember is that this is the first time Aberdeen have EVER had 8 guaranteed European ties to play before Christmas. This is like adding roughly 20% to the number of matches to your season (give or take depending upon success in domestic cups) but in reality it is more than that as you have travel and the intensity of the matches to take into account. This is why you need a big squad to cope with injuries, fatigue and poor form. Hearts suffered badly at the start of last season when they were playing in Europe and they ran out of puff at the end of the season too. This is why it is key that we put together a big squad that is not just made up of journeymen. Scales would be exactly the sort of player we need.

We beat the huns 2-0 last time we played them at Pittodrie!

We should not be accepting anything less than £2m with add ons from a Seria A team. If they rate him as good enough to play for them in that league, he is worth at least that. Also the fact that he is a mainstay in our team and we would struggle to replace him and we already have a very difficult summer ahead of us to rebuild the squad. As AB said, we will be difficult to deal with. We have to show we mean business.

Charles Dunne spotted at Hampden in a Dons top yesterday. Even if he was just there supporting his best mate, I'd be raging if I was a buddie.

See Hearts and struggling for players and are looking to fill a couple of longer term positions due to injury. One of said is a central defender. I would offer them Bates on loan. It gets him game time, pays some/all of his wages and means he can't play against us!

I was praying for this fixture when the draw was made! I love a 'new' ground, really looking forward to it and the weather is to be nice! IN Working then driving from Killie Away end Driving down south for work 4-0 Dons Miovski x2, McCrorie and Richardson.

When I was on holiday, I could'nt get Red TV International (I.e. Live match coverage) as a UK subscriber. That is something the club should look at. Sky sports (SkyGo) is the same - doesn't allow you to watch outside the UK!

Doh!

Ooft, not a bad prediction! You got our number of goals and two of the scorers right!

Absolutely delighted to get Annan away! That was the tie I wanted. It'll be tough but it is another new ground for me, which aside from winning, is what the cup is all about for me. So bored of Celtic Park, Fir Park etc.

This. I noticed at Stirling and again today that there were a number of passes coming up short.

According to FootballScotland ourselves and Ipswich are interested in Liam Boyce. Wouldn't mind him but the good thing about it would leave Hearts with very few options up front! https://www.footballscotland.co.uk/spfl/scottish-premiership/liam-boyce-reacts-hearts-transfer-24453144?utm_source=taboola&utm_medium=exchange&tblci=GiA-HezHOFD166O362SVxygrWXsFsdd4pPBy648cTce-RCDi3kUov9ee-pf6toJt#tblciGiA-HezHOFD166O362SVxygrWXsFsdd4pPBy648cTce-RCDi3kUov9ee-pf6toJt

I used to be a goalkeeper when I was younger, not to any great level, but enough to know the basics. I have also watched and played in many an amateur match and I can say, hand on heart, that display at Rugby Park by Bossu was, without doubt, THE worst I have ever seen from a goalkeeper. I love the comparison to Hen Broon running about! So true! #likeanewborngiraffe
