Normally it's far from ideal to dismantle your side after finishing 3rd, but right now I'd sell Porteous, Doig and Nisbet. We'd get a fair amount for them and we could totally rebuild the squad with that.
Hendry is a very good player on the ball, from what I’ve seen of him in the championship.Quote:

Without a doubt what we need in the first 11 is real character and drive. Scott Brown will bring that to Aberdeen but other than Daz and SDG who are on the bench we have no one.
The most alarming thing from this season has been our inability to come back from a game where we concede first, unless I'm wrong we've done it once all season. That's diabolical.
Without addressing this there's no chance we'll finish 3rd next season IMO. With Hearts back in the league and the Dons strengthening we'll struggle in those games with this side, as much as I hate to say it it's true.
Thinking back to the Stubbs side and the same team under Lennon, it felt like we came back from going behind all the time. We had our off days but the team had something about it which this current team has none of.

That something in your last sentence was called John McGinn and once Lennon didn't have him he didn't have it anymore.Quote:

It's true but I'd say we miss a player with his attitude to life and winning mentality first of all without mentioning his ability. We could have a player with the ability of, say, Newell but with the attitude of Mcginn.Quote:

We may not find a McGinn, but I'm sure as hell wanting Jack Ross to stop signing 'safe' midfielders' and get a couple in who are creative and can make/score goals. Next season I want much more in the way of creativity. None of the present midfielders give us that.Quote:

Reliable source?Quote:

If we can get Cole in and Leigh back to add to Doidge and Gullan it would be a start. Assuming Nisbet will be off.
Had a great season and always looked lively. I'm sure he's 26 now and think this has been his best season maybe just a slow burner?Quote:

Seems the type of player Ross would go for too imo which is part of the reason I’m positing it.
Physical, fast, a goal scorer and will be a cheap option with potential to sell later and knows the league. Plenty growth yet in Cole and he would be really good competition for our strikers.
Totally agree.Quote:

Post season is always so dull and transfer rumours are the main source of excitement.
Have we signed Griffiths yet?

Aberdeen’s ITK poster reckons they’re signing Irvine.
Think he has been very good this season and would be happy if we signed him.Quote:

Personally I think he’s a really good player who has had a dip in forQuote:

If he played as part of a central 2, box to box and with a full pre season in him he’d be fantastic Imo.
Same here, we need to rethink the whole midfield and get them chipping in with a goal or two as a minimum.Quote:

If he’s ****ed us about this long to then go and sign for Aberdeen I’d be rather disappointed.Quote:

I think there was an upturn in the teams performance and balance when he joined. A lot of games seem to pass him by though.Quote:

I wouldn’t break the bank tk keep him.
From a PR perspective, it wouldn’t be a great look for him to join Aberdeen now
Meh. Started off well for us but faded badly. Not sure how I’d feel about him going to sign for them.Quote:

Guess I’d be a bit pissed off if we’ve gave him a chance to kick start his career only for him to go and sign for Aberdeen. Still reckon we could do better
They are the most deluded fans going ignore those weirdosQuote:
