Phew. Welcome aboard!

I was going to post something similar to that which was on the SSN website. Seemed a little more unsure than in any of the other interviews/reports that I'd read.

Don't know what you're talking about

Right, if that article was correct when the fuck is he being unveiled. Would have thought the club would have announced a press conference or something if the deal had gone through.

Exactly, there are no quotes in that article. Though it does give me hope. Will they find a broom cupboard at Loughborough Uni?

Hopefully we'll see something positive today. I was hoping to wake up to the news that he'd signed

if confirmed, it would be a coup for us. Hopefully this will be the player we've been crying out for, for ages.

Do they do streams for the friendlies? I haven't looked, and i'm probably being lazy but I don't have RedTV.

Totally, I think i'd prefer Hartley, as we know what he'd give the team. Hendrie i've not kept tabs on for years. In fact, I'd go as far to say i'd rather we signed Williams and Hartley, but if it does stretch that far, I wouldn't be complaining. But this is Aberdeen we're talking about, it cannot be this straight forward!

That was great viewing last night! Getting the A-listers in lately. Nice bit on Ayrton Senna as well.

Exactly, he's more chance of being in the Scotland squad too playing for the likes of 'Boro as well. Is the Vale game tomorrow?

Pretty much what we're all thinking!

Typical Ferrari. I thought it was a decent race as well. The first few laps were action packed! Vettel made a huge error in trying to block of Alonso and ultimately paid the price for it. If I was Massa, I'd be absolutely seething with rage.

Was that the Richard Gordon commenting on facebook? Not overwhelmed by these signings, but hey ho. Hopefully they'll be decent additions to the squad.

No chance. We can't compete with most teams in league 1 or 2 there is no way we could match the wages of a player who has just been released from a club promoted to the premier league. Its a shame, i'd love to see him turn out for us.

Anyone see the latest addition to DT? CambuslangJambo

If thats the case, fair enough, but then we run the risk that he does impress, others will come calling. I'm all for not signing a player on a couple of friendlies, but it certainly sounds like he'd be a decent addition to the team.

I think we all know the answer there!

We're incredibly short on midfielders as it is are we not? So surely we should sign one of them up straight away, i.e. Ahmed, just to ensure we don't put all our eggs in 1 or 2 baskets.

Not Ahmed then?!? From what I've read, I thought he seemed to be the most promising of the lot, with Williams not far behind?

He's not signed yet, but the signs appear positive. If he signs, fingers crossed it works out for both parties

Wouldn't be unhappy with either Macken or Killen. I don't think Killen did much down here, he certainly didn't get a fair crack at the whip at the tattiedome imo. We'll see though.

Finished The Bricklayer by Noah Boyd not so long ago. A great read Started A long Glasgow Kiss by Craig Russel a couple of days ago and its been pretty good so far. A death and a few beatings.

When we were getting a cab in Novi Sad, the cabbie was a Red Star fan, and asked us where we came from. When we informed him we were from Scotland...he asked if we were Aberdeen as his first answer. We're still famous
