Slightly off topic. I am surprised that Caley have managed to hang on to McKay. Would have thought there would have been clubs sniffing around him given his goal scoring record last season.

Dons started preseason programme tonight. First team won 3-0 at Buckie while U20s won 6-3 at Turriff.

Yeah was very surprised when I saw the size of the fee. Would have thought there would been plenty of clubs willing to pay 3 or 4 times that for a player of his ability and with his scoring record.

David Villa signs for Althetico Madrid for £4.4M.

Trailist keeper been told not good enough and let go according to papers.

North East lads Fraser and Fyvie got out even quicker.

Who would seriously be interested in watching Dons play Tromso or Malmo?

Said on the original thread I thought this was a backwards step and still think the case. Scotland is a small country so cannot see why the Dons should not be looking to attract the best talent available form all over Scotland. Sounds a bit like trying to create a local club for local people.

Jambos are being allowed to sign Danny Wilson despite having a registration ban in place according to this mornings Metro.

Spain down to 10 now as well.

Brazil have taken their chances and now 3 up. Spain have been poor and missed their's including a penalty. Looks like pressing them and kicking them when ever you can is way to beat Spain.

Another good game tonight between Italy and Spain. Spain winning on penalties. First 12 penalties were all examples of perfectly taken penalties. Final on Sunday should be a classic.

Have to say that I can see why smaller teams are wanting to study financial model put forward by SPL. Not as if SPL have a great track record when it comes to finances.

11 booked. Ebay here I come.

Dissapointed at the focus of youth development being North East. Scotland is a pretty small country and cannot see why we would not be able to cover the whole country.

1-1 now. Another decent game. Confederations cup been a good tournament so far.

Brazil 1 up on Uruguay completely against the run of play. Uruguay have had a Forlan penalty saved as well.

This. It has been a major weakness in our team for several years now but for some reason various managers have failed to address it properly. I have a horrible feeling that at some point this season we will field a team with an incredibly slow Robson at left back and an incredibly shite Magennis at right back.

St Johnstone have draw either Crusaders or Roseburg in the Uefa cup and Hibs have draw Drogheda United or Malmo. Might actually be a chance of one of them progressing for a change.

Spain 3-0 up on Nigeria. Nigeria gave them a game in first half but Spain just up the ante in 2nd half. Cannot see them not winning this tournament as well.

Good piece of business. Maybe learnt from Fyvie situation that we need to get good young players tied down early and not let their contracts run down. Means we should get a decent fee if we sell as well.

According to paper this morning McInnes is meeting with Wylde today as he like to meet with the player face to face before sigining them.

Ambrose looking pish again tonight. Hopefully SPFL managers will be taking note of how uncomfortable he is when players run at him.

Not as good as last night but still an enjoyable watch. Cracking goal by Forlan to put Uruguay 2-1 up.
