tom_widdows Posted June 29, 2018 Report Posted June 29, 2018 There are good players out there we are familiar with, whether they are outwith our reach ££ wise or not? Jones/Malumba(Killie), Cadden (M/Well), McGeough(Hibs). Thought this AberDNA cash was going straight to player pool fund ? Quote

manc_don Posted July 3, 2018 Author Report Posted July 3, 2018 Have moved some of this thread to AberdDNA as it didn't really belong in the transfer chat Quote
Lencarl Posted July 5, 2018 Report Posted July 5, 2018 On Twitter: Aberdeen have allegedly offered Doncaster £500K for striker John Marquis. Quote
Jute Posted July 5, 2018 Report Posted July 5, 2018 On Twitter: Aberdeen have allegedly offered Doncaster £500K for striker John Marquis. Scotsman reporting bid has been rejected along with one from Peterborough for £750k. Suspect the second bid puts us out of the running. Quote
RicoS321 Posted July 5, 2018 Report Posted July 5, 2018 On Twitter: Aberdeen have allegedly offered Doncaster £500K for striker John Marquis. 14 goals and 11 bookings last season. That'll do nicely. Quote
baggy89 Posted July 5, 2018 Report Posted July 5, 2018 Had him on loan at Cheltenham. Like Goldson in the relegation season, unlike Goldson if he hadn’t got injured and we’d kept him I think we might have stayed up. Goal scorer. But not sure he’s worth £500k plus Grant McCann is a massive hun. Quote
LA-Don Posted July 6, 2018 Report Posted July 6, 2018 Interesting one that we have apparently upped it to a 600k offer if you believe the media, and it includes a player (assume Tansey.) Such an important needed position for us and a lot of money for a player I’d never heard of. Quote
A llad insane Posted July 6, 2018 Report Posted July 6, 2018 A lot of money to be offering for a League 2 player, really surprised we are/have offered that amount t.b.h ! Should we not cast our net a wee bit further from the over inflated English Leagues ? Presume, we have watched him previously & if so , worth splashing that kind of cash on Saying that, i feel we badly need a striker. Could we not get Moult for that kind of money ? Quote
Ten Caat Posted July 6, 2018 Report Posted July 6, 2018 Id say we more urgently require full back cover, especially with Logan suspended for the sevco game. We should be offering 'Well 300k for Cadden (expect them to bite for 50-100k more) who will be Logan's long term replacement and then look to add to the striking department. Quote

The same Cadden who those in englandshire are allegedly bidding £500k for against Motherwells £1mill valuation? Quote
manc_don Posted July 6, 2018 Author Report Posted July 6, 2018 The same Cadden who those in englandshire are allegedly bidding £500k for against Motherwells £1mill valuation? Surprised folk keep linking us with him given that. I thought it was long known he was out of our range Quote
LA-Don Posted July 6, 2018 Report Posted July 6, 2018 I’d say Cadden would cost the same as Christie! Next!! Quote
Ten Caat Posted July 6, 2018 Report Posted July 6, 2018 He has a year left on his contract....if an English club from the upper reaches of League 1 or possibly lower Championship (if he's very lucky) want to cough up northwards of £500k then good luck to them. Of course he could choose to sit it out another year and leave on freedom of contract....'Well get sweet fa except a possible development fee. So surely we have to at least ask the question. Nothing lost if it doesn't come off. Quote
Jute Posted July 6, 2018 Report Posted July 6, 2018 Folk at DNA q&a say that McInnes confirmed only two more players being targeted a defender and a striker. Also mentioned that they are hoping to extend scouting beyond English lower leagues going forward. Quote

Also mentioned that they are hoping to extend scouting beyond English lower leagues going forward. It would be nice to get a foreign player or two, providing they were the right ones of course. Given our recent record, I wouldn’t hold out much hope for us to hit gold. That being said, this summer, those we signed certainly seem to fit the bill. Do the current signings mean shinnie goes back to left back or do they play in a different position? Quote

Do the current signings mean shinnie goes back to left back or do they play in a different position? I’d be surprised if the kid Ferguson from Hamilton is a regular starter. I’m assuming Forrester replaces Christie and Gleason holds alongside Shinnie. Hoping we sign a left back and Higuain up top. Quote

Never really rated higuain, goes missing in the big games, but I guess we do need to top our bottling quota If that’s the case, then I hope we do sign a left back, but as I’ve said before, I’d rather shinnie In that position. Appears to get less bookings back there. Quote
Jute Posted July 7, 2018 Report Posted July 7, 2018 I think any defender will be right sided to cover Logan and Devlin. Logan is already missing first 2 league games due to suspension and with Devlin’s injury record there is no guarantee he can play a full season. Quote

Logan is already missing first 2 league games due to suspension and with Devlin’s injury record there is no guarantee he can play a full season. Would make sense. I'd completely forgotten about his suspension. Conveniently timed fixture. Quote
Lencarl Posted July 7, 2018 Report Posted July 7, 2018 From Twitter A deal appears to have been reached between the Dons and Doncaster for striker John Marquis. Scott Wright looks to be heading in the opposite direction in a part swap deal. Time will tell Quote
LA-Don Posted July 7, 2018 Report Posted July 7, 2018 Scott Wright on Lian or permanent? We don’t have an abundance of wise guys... Quote
RicoS321 Posted July 7, 2018 Report Posted July 7, 2018 Scott Wright on Lian or permanent? We don’t have an abundance of wise guys... "Loan" and "Wide" I assume! Took me a few seconds. Quote
SeeBass Posted July 7, 2018 Report Posted July 7, 2018 Have I read somewhere we're only after a fullback and striker plus Ferguson, Forrester and Gleeson then that's our Summer business finished with?? Quote
LA-Don Posted July 7, 2018 Report Posted July 7, 2018 "Loan" and "Wide" I assume! Took me a few seconds. Haha, failure to proof read makes things more fun! Quote
