maverick sheep Posted January 19, 2011 Report Posted January 19, 2011 Quote ABERDEEN boss Craig Brown is on the lookout for midfielders and could be tempted to move for Simon Whaley who has just been released by Doncaster and who he managed while at Preston. (The Herald) Quote
Northfield Quine Posted January 20, 2011 Report Posted January 20, 2011 Well looks like we won't be signing Tony Capaldi as he has verbally agreed to sign for Morecombe. No new LB then :-( Quote

TENEMENTFUNSTER Posted January 21, 2011 Report Posted January 21, 2011 Verbal contract isn't worth the paper it isn't written on. Quote

I'm certain in contract law it does have value if there is consideration I.e. Payment, but the problem is, its quite difficult to prove the terms of the contract. Quote

Northfield Quine Posted January 21, 2011 Report Posted January 21, 2011 Signed with Morecombe until end of season. Quote
BigAl Posted January 21, 2011 Report Posted January 21, 2011 Regarding Capaldi, bottom line in my opinion is that IF we had reallky wanted an offer would have long since been made. therefore can only assume that Messrs Brown & Knox decided he wasn't the answer. Time to move on therefore. Sure there are other irons in the fire Quote

quirie Posted January 21, 2011 Report Posted January 21, 2011 See Micheal Stewart has left the turkish club hes went too. Worth a cheeky try? The guy is a cunt to put it simple but saying that before this season Paul Hartley was one too Quote
Reekie_Red Posted January 22, 2011 Report Posted January 22, 2011 Nah, he's an a-grade tit. Seems Broon as told Steven Irwin that, although he's of decent quality, he's too much like what we've already got. So, what's Broon looking for? Possibly an attacking-midfielder who could be passed off as a striker? A player like Jess or Jamie Smith (when fit) is probably what we're in need of. Hartley is providing excellent supply for our strikers, but we still need someone who has the ability to unlock defences and turn games like Jess and Smith were able to. Quote
TENEMENTFUNSTER Posted January 22, 2011 Report Posted January 22, 2011 I thought we were short of a defensive midfielder today. That said, Aluko is as unreliable as fuck just now so perhaps we do need an attacking option so we don't rely quite so much on young Pawlett and Aluko. Quote
Reekie_Red Posted January 22, 2011 Report Posted January 22, 2011 so either an attacking midfielder in the mould of Jess/Smith or a defensive midfielder in the mould of Seve/Heikkinen/Deloumeaux Quote
Stewart Posted January 22, 2011 Report Posted January 22, 2011 I don't think my heart could take watching someone as relaxed looking on the pitch as Deloumeaux anymore. Quote
Reekie_Red Posted January 22, 2011 Report Posted January 22, 2011 Aye, relaxed alright. But for the whole 1st leg and about 70 minutes of the second leg against Hertha Berlin (ie until he got sent off) he had Marcelinho in his back pocket Quote
dickofthedons Posted January 22, 2011 Report Posted January 22, 2011 Think with the Steve Irwin thing Brown said he was no better than Ryan Jack so felt it was best to give Jack a game, he wants someone with more experience which may be Michael Stewart or Stephen Hughes.... I know he is a twat but I'd take Stewart, a year and a half deal would be good, if he can bring the performances then dont mind him being a tit Quote
tsr Posted January 22, 2011 Report Posted January 22, 2011 Stewart is being offered around, not sure we really need him if Pawlett is going to be fit but I guess that's pat of the problem. Quote
Tyrant Posted April 13, 2011 Report Posted April 13, 2011 Bad news, people. Apparently we're after Colin Nish if the BBC Gossip page is to be believed. Quote
