Slim Posted May 24, 2023 Share Posted May 24, 2023 I’m guessing it was one of Devlin’s entourage that jumped the gun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrlandoDon Posted May 24, 2023 Share Posted May 24, 2023 With Nicky Devlin potentially on his way, who are the best of the rest that would improve our squad. Not by any means star signings or glamorous but SPL players, ideally a scot or two as well. Not Scottish but Jamie McGrath worth a look with United all but down?

DantheDon Posted May 24, 2023 Share Posted May 24, 2023 I wondered if Dylan Levitt that they signed from man united might be worth a look. Still relatively young and had a great season on loan the previous year. I was surprised he signed for them permanently. I presume he's been poor for them this season but maybe still some potential there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Levitt only signed a two year deal and with them going down they will defo be looking to move him on, he will be on a fairly healthy wage as well 2bh. I've honestly not seen enough of him to comment but I know he did well last season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RicoS321 Posted May 25, 2023 Share Posted May 25, 2023 "Nicky Devlin, on his final home appearance as a Livingston player, raced down the right and flashed a teasing ball across the face of goal which wiped out the visitors defence and allowed the onrushing Shinnie to nudge it in" Dons Legend. Setting up Shinnie for Shinnies' third goal of the night. Five assists for the season I think, which puts him up there with Johnny Hayes. McRorie did a lot of good running last night but an entire season with no assists isn't a great stay. His season was summed up with that opportunity near the end where he did brilliantly to out muscle the defender to get into the box, at which point he panicked and kicked it out of play. I assume we're just getting Devlin and spending the McRorie money on the third place party? That'd be classic Robson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll see you in Europe." read into that what you will He's just a young lad, so it's probably best not to read too much into his Twitter comments, but let's do it anyway. He says "we", rather than "I". The "we" he's referring to could be Liverpool, who are likely to be in the same tournament. Or, I suspect, more likely, that the player is as in the dark about his future as anyone else. Hopefully Robson has kidnapped his family or something. It'd be the biggest signing the club has made this century if they could get him. Can't think of a guy with his potential signing in the last twenty years. Far more about him than either Ferguson or McLean (or Severin), which isn't a criticism of those players. Obviously I'm excluding Ronnie Hernandez.

Lets be honest, he's a brilliant player but not going to get into the first team at anfield. Cheeky 500k bid might just get him......

Yeh I'd take him, although if Goodwin gets appointed permanently there he may not be receptive to dealing with his old club. But maybe those above him will make the decision for him. Levitt isn't going to get in the Welsh squad playing in the Championship. £400k and a sell on clause is worth it I'd say. Clarkson and Levitt in the same team would be Booth and Jess levels of class.

Panda Posted May 25, 2023 Share Posted May 25, 2023 On Clarkson, the club have teased a full interview with him on RedTV next week. He won't be an Aberdeen player next week, so it's either an emotional goodbye interview and "I'll always remember you" piece. Or coinciding with the announcement of a permanent move.

I also think that McRorie is leaving too soon, but that's because some wild English club are willing to pay £2M for a guy who's yet to have a cross be met by an Aberdeen player. 8 hours ago, tlg1903 said: It's defo the latter imo.

There was an article I saw a while back that suggested Wigan were concentrating on paying their players who were under contract for next season. Never said if it included players out on loan but would assume it would. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panda Posted May 27, 2023 Share Posted May 27, 2023 Callum Roberts to Chesterfield possibly. Also noticeable he's been allowed to leave the squad before the end of the season. Shame. Could have been handy off the bench at Anfield in the Europa League. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
