Summer 2024 transfer window

Fuck him. Hope he doesn't get injured, but simply sits on their bench before spending two years in their reserves and then joining Killie a broken player. Or he breaks his legs in a training ground accident.

Wondering if Hoillet being injured and withdrawn from the Canada squad if this actually improves our chances of him being at Pittodrie next season as he no longer has a platform to put himself in the shop window 🤔

Disappointed the Dons didn't keep with tradition an announce a signing on a Scotland game day to ease the inevitable pain.

See Tom Widows signature 👍

What did we get for Ferguson, anyone remember? Fair to say Barron is more established and closer to an internationalist so we should get more money?? Yes, I know, common sense will not apply.

Do you mean what did we pay for Ferguson rather than what did we get for him 🤔

We seem to have paid about £250,000 for Ferguson from Hamilton and the story goes that £500k would be the expected compensation figure for Barron.

It's more akin to the Wright transfer than the Ferguson one in terms of games played and time spent at the club. Sure that was in the region of £400K, with McRorie the payment.

Bet the Huns were banking on us gratefully taking Robbie McCrorie as full payment for Barron.

Fucking delighted we didn't go down that path.

What a thick bunch they really are, took a wee look on Swallow Swallow and the number of them who can't comprehend why they have to pay us anything at all is scary, instead thinking they have signed Barron for free.

Worryingly these people have a vote 😲

P.S Have run a scan and clean up on my laptop and apologised to it for sending it over there.

Hopefully the tribunal will agree a fee of £500K, and the Dons will insist it is paid up front. The Huns will be completely outraged, refer to him as their player, play him in a friendly where he picks up a serious injury. The SFA then refuses to register him as a player until the Huns pay up. They scrape together the money and pay us in early August. Spooked by them refusing to pay a seemingly trivial sum to Aberdeen, the crane company refuses to engage in any further work on their stand until funds are delivered. As creditors continue to call their bluff, the Huns are pulled towards administration. Work on the ground stops, and their fixtures are moved behind closed doors at Airdrie's ground (with murrayfield refusing to host them without up front payment). Over the remainder of the season, things go from bad to worse as they're forced to sell any remaining football assets at way below value in order to fund the shortfall from having no crowd revenue. Hun fans request refunds for their season tickets, refusing to help their club in its time of need, as always. Eventually, the plug is pulled and they head into administration again. With the cost to complete Ibrox deemed too expensive, they are forced to sell it to Aldi, with a view to turning it into an LGBTQ+ sanctuary, refugee outreach centre and petrol station. Several thousand Huns spontaneously combust upon announcement.

McCrorie was a good bit of business, any Huns worth taking off their hands? If they struggle for funds possible opportunity here?

They probably thought we would take his brother since we were needing a keeper. Might still be worth a punt since the jury is still out on Doohan - the fact Roos was never dropped this past season suggests he’s not up to much.

Christ, two six figure sum goalies on the books? Bit extravagant IMO.

Seems as good a place as any to post this link.

Certainly not every year we sign nine of the youngster up.

Getting Lewis Carrol signed is a big deal as he was wanted by several big clubs south of the border.

I'd like to wish all the youngsters all the very best as they set out on their journey and look forward to seeing their progress
