manc_don Posted January 7, 2015 Report Posted January 7, 2015 So i see according to the daily Hun, we've been linked with Paul Quinn from county. Can't say I know enough about him to even make a judgement, but since it's in the Hun, i'll presume it's shite Quote

However in Derek I trust so let's see how it plays out. Quote

Kowalski Posted January 9, 2015 Report Posted January 9, 2015 Can't read the contents of your link mate as refuse to subscribe to p&j. In short, what's it saying ? I just clicked on the link Aberdeen manager Derek McInnes is eager to strengthen his squad with two new signings during the January transfer window, despite his side’s stunning seven-game winning sequence. The Dons are sitting top of the Scottish Premiership after an excellent set of results over the Christmas period but McInnes is refusing to rest on his laurels. The Aberdeen manager may look south of the border to freshen up his squad for the second half of the season. He said: “We keep an eye on things in the Scottish market but our chief scout Russ Richardson is based in England. He watches five or six games a week, first-team ones and academy games. “It’s important to be looking as much as you can because we have a lot going for us as a club. We have a strong support and coming here is an opportunity to be successful, we hope. “We have a lot in our favour and sometimes the profile of the SPFL can be good for young players. “Guys like Shay Logan, Ash Taylor and Scott Brown have found that. In any recruitment you have to look at all different areas.” McInnes says his side’s fine form won’t hinder his chances of persuading the Dons board to back any recruitment drive. He added: “I don’t think it’s harder to ask the board because of the position we’re in. “As happy as we are, we were not agitating for the window to open, you normally find that it’s the last week of the window things move. “Nothing much happens in the first few weeks. As happy as we are with the squad, it would still be nice to bring in one or two. “Last season we brought in Shay Logan and Adam Rooney at this time of the season and that helped us at the right time. “We wouldn’t be against that again but they would have to be the right signings who can help us move forward. “January isn’t always the best time to get players but if there is someone we think would help us then we’ll ask. “The chairman has always been very supportive.” Quote

tlg1903 Posted January 13, 2015 Report Posted January 13, 2015 So I bumped into Russel Latapy in my local the other night. Really nice chap and was quite happy to talk football (though I'm not sure his missus was so happy). I chanced my arm and asked him if Shinnie really was interested in coming to Aberdeen. He said he was though maybe not quite enough. Reading between the lines he's waiting to see what other offers he gets before making his mind up. Interestingly he reckoned he's a better LB than Andrew Robertson. Quote

We'll wait and see I guess, just don't want us to be putting all our eggs in one basket (something that doesn't happen under DM). Quote
BigAl Posted January 13, 2015 Report Posted January 13, 2015 The club is far bigger than Shinnie. If we want him, make him an offer with time limit. If he doesn't take it, then withdraw it and move on leaving Shinnie to lie in the bed he has made. We should not be held to ransom for a player like Shinnie. Quote
tlg1903 Posted January 13, 2015 Report Posted January 13, 2015 Yeah basically manc, that said I got the impression it would need to be the right move as he has a young family and staying in the north of Scotland has it's advantages. Time will tell but I very much doubt dm isn't looking at other options also. Quote
manc_don Posted January 14, 2015 Author Report Posted January 14, 2015 Craig Murray has gone out on loan to Ayr united: http://www.afc.co.uk/news/5576.php#.VLaKtyusV8F Quote

Jute Posted January 14, 2015 Report Posted January 14, 2015 Which in turn could add credence to the Quinn rumour Or just being replaced as a bench warmer by Joe. Quote
manc_don Posted January 15, 2015 Author Report Posted January 15, 2015 Oddly enough, DM still seems to be talking about Jeffrey Monakana du du du. That said, he also says they are looking at a few other options as well as initiating the contract talks with Jack Quote

manc_don Posted January 15, 2015 Author Report Posted January 15, 2015 Quinn has signed contract extension at The Staggies until end of the season From reading comments from county fans, it sounded like he made plenty of errors. Bullet. Dodged. So does that leave just Jack and Goodwillie as the only current first teamers not be signed up until 2017? Quote
Madbadteacher Posted January 15, 2015 Report Posted January 15, 2015 If we do nothing more than get those two signed to longer contracts (and don't lose anyone) it'll have been a good window for us. Quote

manc_don Posted January 20, 2015 Author Report Posted January 20, 2015 http://www.afc1903.scot/dons-silent-link-rotherhams-richard-wood/ Interesting, I know PL was mentioning something on Fezbook but refused to provide a name. Quote
Tyrant Posted January 21, 2015 Report Posted January 21, 2015 Heard from a certain Soutar, Derek that a certain Langfield, Jamie was on his way out. I'm hoping to find out a bit more before I get my hopes up. Quote
manc_don Posted January 23, 2015 Author Report Posted January 23, 2015 Return to Dundee ? Given the amount of abuse that one of my mates gave me when we signed him I would love him to go back there. Would be a decent signing for them imo my opinion. Quote
BigAl Posted January 23, 2015 Report Posted January 23, 2015 Just a little unsubstantiated rumour that I heard the other day. Not sure about it to be honest though as I think they already have three keepers that have played for their first team already this season. Quote
CtS Posted January 23, 2015 Report Posted January 23, 2015 I don't see why we'd get rid of him to be honest, unless his salary is maybe too excessive for a reserve keeper? Reliable enough backup / squad member IMO my opinion. Quote
