We still need at least 2 signings before the window shuts. A right back and a right mid. I wish I shared your optimism reekie, but I just can't. We have serious problems in the team and I don't think we looked up for it at all on Saturday. Yes we were outplayed by a superior Celtic side but it was the distinct lack of effort/cohesion and passion which worried me. We've wasted far too much time chasing signings that weren't going to be pulled off but what is important that the club rallies round and starts the season properly on Saturday. They'll need to show infinitely more passion and desire to beat Hamilton and I hope they realise this.

Out of curiousity, as I don't know, is Crawford a RB? Why isn't he being played instead of playing Duff? It does Duffs confidence no good being played there and it sure as hell is a detriment to the team. All assuming of course that Crawford is a RB

Sammy Lee sent off

Aye it was a great game to watch. Watched quite a bit of the Eredivisie last season and found it far more entertaining than the SPL if i'm honest. Not caught any Bundesliga just yet.

Good to see they were only level for all of 3 minutes Btw, anyone see the Hibs attendance yesterday? 6350?!?!? Truly pathetic, I thought they always got at least 10,000 for an SPL game? Anyone catch the PSV - Ajax game today on ESPN? Some match! 33 shots on goal, of which, 24 on target. Shame it ended 4-3 though.

Don't worry, no-one is stupid enough to pay that much for him. On his day Miller is a great forward, but it seems to occur less and less now. I was hoping that the change in manager might reignite his passion. It is early days yet, but I don't see it happening, just doesn't seem to be bothered. As someone else said, i'd be surprised if McGhee saw much of any cash made from a sale.

Why would Federer drop out? I think its great the three of them battling it out between each other, so I'd hope he doesn't. Obviously though, I'd prefer it if Murray got a major tournament win under his belt. Just to ruffle a few feathers.

Journalism at its best. I'd be extatic if we got that for him. Oh and I'd like Josh Walker back on top of that please

Miller was woeful yesterday. If he puts that much effort in the next couple of games I hope to fuck MM will drop him. You can't even blame it for being marked out of the game or lack of service. The smeltic defence didn't even have to worry about marking him because he never went to the ball. Miller must do better.

Can't say I share your optimism, but hell, I live in hope

Can't say I disagree with any of your comments Marky. I was glad to see Paton come on and I hope it makes Maguire think a bit. Personaly, I thought Miller was our worst performer today. I expected a lot more from him, some effort at least. I'm going to go for Langfield as my MOTM, some vital saves, but Aluko would be a second choice.

Joke performance in the first half. Second was better, but Maguire needs to get a grip. He was crap, as was Miller and Mackie. Kerr didn't have the best of games either. But at least we didn't concede anymore in the second half. But we need a right winger and right back as soon as possible! I don't know what Miller thought he was doing today, clearly not a lot, the one moment that summed up his performance to me today was when Aluko won the ball in the second half and going down the left wing, had Miller made a run, he could have had an opportunity at goal, but no, did nothing. I hope Zander is ok.

In/out: out Pre match: mates flat Match: some boozer in london Post match: hopefully the free running contest in london.

Good article, going to be hard to see if he can pull any of it off but certainly making the right noises.

My thoughts exactly. Prior to those events I wouldn't have battered an eyelid at him being named captain. I'm not so sure now though. We'll have to see I guess

Well done Andrew!

Agreed but alas it seems to be the Aberdeen boards way, its not like Hart's case is a stand out one. We should have replaced him by now, but hopefully, we've just replaced Anderson, so by that logic, we have to wait till Jan before we get his???

Nice gesture by the club. Surprised we can afford it but hey ho good on them nevertheless! Mizer, does this mean Ally will buy the beers

Yaassss the broom cupboard is back! Well done AFC, I hope he proves to be a great success.

It was nice a sunny in London today as well How long are you in Berlin for?

Don't count your spring chickens just yet! Wait for the broom cupboard/trophy room photo

Noticed that on BBC earlier today as well. Seems like he would be keen on first team football and doesn't think he would get the chance to impress Mowbray.

Yasss Ajja's unbridled optimism is back! The season has begun

I daren't say a word! I hope the club actually pull this off.

Thanks for the imput SwindonFan! I wasn't at the game but it certainly sounded like he shored up our non existant/shakey defence. We've been crying out for a centre back for years, especially one that knows how to defend, which by the sounds of things he can do. As Aberdeen fans, we never believe anything until we see the player in our "broom cupboard" or more recently the trophy room signing the contract!
