I'd be surprised if Swindon really bid £150k they were days away from being wound up last season (allegedly), and afaik are still hemorrhaging money.

Thank fuck! At last a signing to be genuinely pleased about. A left back who'd have thunk it. Heres too, two injury free years!

Was this not on Aberdeen mad last week, with it starting as we have accepted two bids of £800k for Severin, one of which was from Rangers?

It'll likely be Gaelic for all the Oirish watching Celtic every week.

I see Anthony Elding has been left out of Leeds tour of Ireland, he had a 1 in 2 record for Stockport before moving to Leeds in January. Worth a look?

If his mums application for assylum is accepted in France, could they then not come back as EU citizens.

My dad is involved with the sports council, the cost of operating and maintaining one the old pools over something like 5 years costs far more than what it would cost to build, operate and maintain a new state of the art pool over the same timescale. So, think of the saving over ten to fifteen years. Probably enough to build a new Council Stadium!

Have heard that Cheltenham maybe one of the clubs looking at Thompson . I came up for a game against Killie about 5 years ago when pele was manager. Think we scraped a draw that day, I remember saying to my dad that a couple of cheltenham players could have done a better job for us that day. Never did I think after the season we've had we'd be looking at the same players.

On an aside according to the BBC rumours looks like you were right about Pidgley.

Wouldn't make much difference but at least he shouldn't have the same opinion as a lot of southern englanders; that Scotland is a funny wee place at the top of england and they play pub league football. I'm assuming he would have family (of sorts) up here also. Although, it's all fairly irrelevant as I'm sure he's not anywhere near our radar screens.

Think they sold some of there best assets in Jan to try to avoid administration, or when the administrators first came in. Think Talbots still there he was highly thought of at one point as was Calvin Andrews. Richard Langley is good but surely we don't need another CM.

Luton's 30 point deduction, should we maybe join the vultures that are circulating, cheeky bid for Parkin? Scored a shed load at Swindon a few season ago so we know for sure he can score, still only 27, if I remember he's a big lad, and has a Scottish mum.

You can't fucking sit down in it though seat spacing is for the all the sub five foot inbreds with flippers for feet they've got as supporters.

Cheltenham wouldn't normally, but we've just sold our only hope of staying in League 1 for £425000 (IMO a disgrace of a fee, he was worth at least twice with the prices being paid at the minute). I also think it's fairly nailed on that Wright is going to Rochdale, which is even more of 1) an indicator of his talents 2) an embarrassment for us that he would rather go to another L2 club.

Especially as Swindon, I would think, have the ability to pay the same as us.

The name rings a bell... But that may just be the telephone? Was he being talked about as the next big thing a few years ago? Would be a bit concerned that hes been around so many clubs by 23 and each a step down from the last. But like Bobby say his records not bad, although having said that Julian Alsop scored over twenty for Cheltenham in League Two a few years ago and he was the worst footballer I have ever seen (that includes one legged, blind, girls playing in the local park).

That would be a worse career move than his last one. Muppet.

I was hoping it was the lad Sammy Stewart, he was referring too. Maybe a youngster, at last, who won't spend his entire contract playing for the reserves before being released?

If true, bang goes my wee theory that Jimmy was planning on playing 3-5-2 next season. Probably a good thing that he's not though.

So, a 35 yr old Darren Mackie?

Fuck sake Jimmy another Scumdee Utd reject!!

I ken, beginning to get bored of slagging the club for nae signing anyone. I'd much rather be slagging them for WHO they have signed.

Sounds good but how is it being split? Could be 45% Rangers, 45% Celtic, 10% the rest.

That I've seen play, Jim Bett. He could play the passes that would would make Mackie a 30 goal a season striker.

What's your greatest hope for this season? To win the league - And your biggest fear? Relegation - Most important player The left-back we haven't had for umpteen years - Cult hero/terrace favourite Zander Diamond - Keep an eye out for. (young player) Does Considine @ 21 count? Big season for him, cut out the stupid mistakes and we have potentially one of the best centre back pairings in the SPL. - Player you'd happily drive to his next club. Bertrand Busso (Chippenham Town is within walking distance of me, he can have a piggy back) and still won't get a game. - What one change would you make at your club? Some positivity from the top, negativity breeds negativity, and encourages the acceptance of mediocrity. The large percentage of fans don't accept it so why do the board? - Have you got the right manager? Given my previous answer this will seem strange, for the time being I beleive we have. Jimmy seems to strive for mediocrity and doesn't seem to possess the vision to turn us into genuine Old Firm challengers. However, until the men above him show that ambition there is no point in appointing a manager with greater ambitions for Aberdeen, as they will only get frustrated or desperately drive usi n the wrong direction due to lack of funds. - What advice would you give him? Ease off on the low factor sun protection otherwise you won't be arround long enough to accept that "dream" job in League One. - Which team do you most want to beat this season? Rangers - Opposition player you despise None, there is not one that is genuinely good enough or has the personality, to waste the time and energy. - Opposition player you secretly admire Thats difficult given the duffers that play for the supposed two best teams in the league. I would probably like to have McDonald on our books, given last years form. - Where will you finish? 1st
