Mcphee working wonders again. Most players they seem to be linked with all have a Northern Ireland or stoke connection.

Can’t see anyone choosing them over Aberdeen unless they chuck silly money at him.

No, it's Captain Kirk he's referring to. He's often saying "Beam my up, Stendal".

It could be viewed as axed players/coaches just bearing a grudge but plenty of players and coaches get moved on from clubs without going running to the press to complain. People naturally might think there's no smoke without fire and something's not right there.

What’s our excuse then?

We don't want to do a big clear out like they do and rumours are they've been turned down by players they've approached. There's not a lot in the way of rumours re what players, if any, that we've approached.

Forget about Luke Berry. Doesn’t look like he’s quite been able to carry on his form at a higher level.

My comment was somewhat tongue-in-cheek. We are of course in a different position to Hearts.

We still have obvious weaknesses in our squad though and I would be feeling a lot more positive about the rest of the season if we had strengthened by now... someone like Dylan, for example.

Dylan was never an option if you read some of what he's been saying recently

A meeting in a Glasgow coffee shop, when McGeouch was on the verge of leaving Hibernian for Sunderland, planted a seed in the midfielder’s mind that he would love to work with McInnes in future.
At the time he was all set on his move to England’s north-east. However, after that adventure turned sour, the north-east of Scotland has become his new home and a chance to finally cross paths with McInnes on a working basis.
McGeouch said: “I spoke to him before I went down south. I went to meet him in Glasgow and remember thinking at the time, if I didn’t have my head set on going to Sunderland, I’d love to work for him.
“When the opportunity came up that I was going to be moving on from Sunderland, my agent spoke to a lot of clubs. Derek was the first – he expressed how much he wants to work for me. Even playing against his teams, I remember him coming out in the press and speaking highly of the midfield, me and John (McGinn).
“I always remember that. He was the first to pick up the phone and speak to me. I knew I needed to get my career back on track and he was the one to do it.

Ooft! seems like a back handed shot at JR!

Sounds like he was touted round Scotland and only Aberdeen would bite. JR obviously wanted him but clearly did not work out in terms of performances and injury. Sounds like I always wanted to sign for (fill in the blank) story. Has he seen Aberdeen play?

Well as much as I loved Dylan as a quality player, he sounds more prone to flattery than judging a good manager. I’ve never rated whingeing McInnes as a manager - with the resources he’s been very fortunately spoilt with in the past several years second only to Celtic until recently, I’ve rarely been impressed with his teams. Given those facts, some of them have been a disgrace tbh.

Considering what state Levein has been known to leave the toilets in, that's understandable.

Not sure how you get that from his quote.

Sounds more like he lost his football mojo down there and jumped at the person who was most recently fluttering their eyelashes at him - i.e. McInnes.

I dont think he has really considered the type of football Aberdeen play though, which might be a problem.

McInnes is a very good manager at this level, to suggest otherwise is nonsense. Just need to look at Hearts to see that giving the manager a large budget doesn’t guarantee success.

Yup. He's done an excellent job there. Consistently

He may produce consistent results at Aberdeen but the football is excruciating to watch. His teams are full of horribly physical cheats and winning ugly is his stock in trade. Where Dylan fits into that philosophy is anyone's guess.

He has been given a fortune in the last 6 years and won a solitary league cup against Inverness - subsequently his teams have shat it consistently in Glasgow and most Aberdeen fans I know (there are a few) think he is a diddy.

Hibs and Inverness have won the Scottish Cup while McInnes has been the Dons manager

Please dont tell me that simply finishing in a position to get european football is "success" as you cant put that in a trophy cabinet.

This is like the Shankland chat, ffs - people bumming up other players and managers and desperate for Hibs to fail.
