Not a rumour as such but interesting that everybody’s favourite journalist Scott Burns has been banned from Pittodrie for being a bit of a dick, although some would say he was just doing his job.
I’m not really one for conspiracy theories but it has become a bit of a pattern with him just to link any Aberdeen bound player with Hibs.

Defo need to bring in a couple of creative midfielders and a couple more strikers. I think we get this right and we’ll be looking good.
Hopefully O’Connor etc also get brought through and get a proper shot. Always important to bring our own through

Burns is a bit of a cock, as you say his USP is a bit obvious.
On rumours - Harry Milne of Cove Rangers in the summer.

It's reported that Shaun Maloney has already been speaking to transfer targets. That must mean these players are out of contract at the end of the season I wonder who he has been talking to. Anyone got any ideas or know anything

Despite Alan Forrest and Charles Cook both having really good seasons I’m not sure I want us to go for them.
Maybe as options but not as a key player.
Cant help but think Charles Cook has just went on a purple patch like Connor Sammon done, he’s never had a season even remotely close to this.
A winger I have always been impressed with in our league is Joseph Hungbo though. Fast, strong and really good technically cutting in on his left foot.
I think our recruitment will go for a bit more exciting and different players than Forrest and Charles Cook though.

I'm finding it hard to think of players I'd want us to sign because I don't really understand Maloney's 343.
It's all very well identifying wingers... but where do they fit into the way we play? We've got Cadden for the right, Doig and Mitchell for the left. Where does Mueller fit in, what about Jasper? Mueller may not have featured much but Maloney himself signed Jasper so you'd expect him to feature somewhere.
What are Maloney's plans for Clarke, given he chose to play him at LWB at the weekend, accommodating Doig at LCH and shifting Hanlon into the middle?
I don't really see why we should be identifying wingers, as they don't really fit into this way of playing.
As I see it we're needing several strikers, several number 10s and cover. The ones we have are either not up to it, young, injury prone or don't exist.
That's before we get onto replacing Porto and working out what to do with the middle of midfield.

Would also be nice to have a really strong bench at some point with players to bring on that could change a game.

Left hand side is interesting too as for me I’d have Hanlon left of the back 3 and Doig wingback however Maloney seems determined to keep Doig LCB which would make me think Mitchell plays wing back.
For me the 10’s will be Jasper and one new signing but imo it’s essential that the 10 is willing to run beyond the striker and stretch the game as that’s something we really lack.
I think Porteous will leave so could we see us with
…………………….Macey………
..…Cadden…..Hanlon…Doig….
Clarke…..Magennis…Newell…Mitchell…
………..???…………………….Jasper…….
……………………Melkersen……
For me I don’t like Cadden in a back 3 but it would suit Maloney wanting to play attacking football with him and Doig able to come out with the ball. Maybe Magennis could play one of the 10 positions as he showed earlier in the season he’s more than capable with JDH next to Newell? Although he has said he’s after a 6 so you imagine one will drop out.
For balance id much rather see
…………………….Macey………
..…Clarke…..Rocky/new signing…Hanlon
Cadden…..Magennis…Newell…Doig…
………..???…………………….Jasper…….
……………………Melkersen……

The two players I previously felt would slot into our side were omeonga and Barrie Mckay.
One is out of our reach now, but I still think we should be looking at stephane. Likes to have the ball and move it on quickly which maloney likes but a bit more tenacity and forward thinking than many we currently have in midfield.

Glad to see he shares the majority of fans opinion about where we need to strengthen and about us being more than keeping possession.
Wonder who the players he’s already met with are.

That said I’m willing to put that down to him playing a full MLS season then coming straight here and adapting to a new country and league.
I think (hope) we see a different animal after a good rest and pre season.

Rocky
McGregor
Porteous - Sold for fee
Jasper - Hope we keep
Scott
Allan
Wright
Doidge?
All potentially/likely to be gone in the summer - lots of room for manoeuvre for whoever is in charge

We need some more experienced players. The youngsters we have are nowhere near the golden generation under Mowbray.
We let Boyle and Murphy go to replace them with Jasper. Should have brought in someone like Jordan Jones too imo.Last edited by JamesHFC; 09-04-2022 at 08:27 PM.
