If we do sign taylor I will support him 100. %
But we could do with a new cb first
If true about Peterborough I'd tell Barry fry
To do one . how much would you pay for a league one player?

06 Aug 2020 16:17:52
OK bhoys/ ghirls got my usual bets on the Sevco game tonight
Morelos booking Evens (bl00dy bookies cutting odds)
Jack 5/ 2
Kent 5/ 1 (he gets booked more in europe)
Penalty 5/ 2 ordering off 7/ 2.

06 Aug 2020 22:16:39
Tim I wouldn't be putting those kind of bets on until crowds are allowed back in, very few bookings and sendings off in games behind closed doors.

06 Aug 2020 14:40:09
Can see our game going into cold storage again that's a ss tested positive.

06 Aug 2020 15:44:55
Does anyone know what procedures are in place for a player testing positive?

06 Aug 2020 17:29:20
Would sevco not need to isolate?

06 Aug 2020 20:22:55
Reporting that a second aberdeen player tested positive. Cause for concern.

06 Aug 2020 21:20:54
8 Aberdeen players rumoured to be out on the town Saturday night 2 positive isolating for 10 days other 6 for 14 technically missing at Johnstone, hugs and Celtic games bloody idiots can see government stepping in.

06 Aug 2020 21:25:11
Meant st Johnstone and hibs. Bloody predictive text.

What’s your take on the resent news on targets ie Fletcher Ajeti and Toney this German lad fae Man City too many names out of them we might see one but which one?

06 Aug 2020 14:39:31
Ideally toney to pair up with eddy or griff but he's prob too rich for us.

06 Aug 2020 14:44:52
personally i would have toney. the lad has a lot more in him.

06 Aug 2020 15:03:24
Lot more to him than ajeti? don't know how anyone can say that.

06 Aug 2020 15:50:22
I think Toney and Ajeti are both good players for me if I was to choose it would be Toney simply because I think he will be more match fit but would be happy with either.

06 Aug 2020 16:41:16
Anybody apart from Fletcher! .

06 Aug 2020 21:29:09
eddie will stay and flech will come for a season.

06 Aug 2020 12:31:06
Do some people genuinely think that replacing our 4th choice striker, Bayo, with Steven Fletcher is a step down? Crazy. Bayo was in the same mould as Scott Allan with some fans, the less he plays the better he gets. 1 target man out and 1 in. If the window closes with Edouard, Toney or Ajeti, Griffths, Klimala and Fletcher then I'd be happy.

06 Aug 2020 12:53:02
Dont think Bayo can be classed as a target man. They need to be able to hold the ball up not have the ball bouncing off your shin and out for a throw everytime. Fletcher is twice the player, at 33, that Bayo will ever be.

06 Aug 2020 13:11:17
6 strikers is madness.

06 Aug 2020 13:12:31
Four strikers is more than ehnough.

06 Aug 2020 13:46:56
I listed 5, of which 1 has a lot of work to do, Klimala and 1 that in my opinion should be released, Griffiths.

06 Aug 2020 14:00:59
Fletcher is a better option than bayo who is always injured.

06 Aug 2020 14:06:31
Bayo will be sold klimala is to go out on loan for a year in Scotland with Aberdeen being potential Souter's. That's why Lennon is trying to bring in two more experienced forwards.

06 Aug 2020 14:11:35
Bayo downfall is injury, though I do think if he goes out on loan and manages to avoid injuries he will improve.

06 Aug 2020 14:14:37
Wulie10 I would be surprised if they let Klimala go out on loan. He has done well preseason and looks like he is finding his feet.

06 Aug 2020 14:30:15
Klimala will be used as a sub and sent on as a battering ram against the cloggers in the league as in Ross County, Killy, Motherwell, Livingston.

06 Aug 2020 11:11:59
Guys how would u improve football as a whole?
Here is my tuppence worth,
1. Get rid of agents 100s 0f millions going out the game.
Solution is get the FAs to hire them keep it in house and keep the money in the game.

2. Get a clock on the game

3. Stop refs making decisions depending on the position player is in the time it is and where on the pitch.
How is it ok to challenge a forward striking for goal to put him off but do it to a defender clearing a ball and its a foul.
Why is a ref less inclined to give a penalty last minute.
Why are defenders never booked for diving when they clearly do it more than forwards.
Eg when they at corner flag protecting ball they get touched they thro themselves to ground.
Forward does that he gets booked.

4. Strict FFP regs brought in esp after C.V.

5. Any club goes into admin automatic relegation and any trophies won previous season taken away.

6. when the ball goes out of play in the air ie a corner curled in and lands in play its allowed as long as it doesn't touch anything external ( boards, stadium etc) .
Thats all i can think of just now guys would be interested in your ideas.

06 Aug 2020 13:15:40
Rayman some real good points there. the agents have killed the game, and the clock in a game. how many minutes does a game actually last ie ball in play. mabe ask buzzbomd to research that one. lol.

06 Aug 2020 14:30:15
Some top class ideas there

Here are some. more

Allow a blood substitution where a player leaves the field for stitches . not counting as a sub. injured player has only 6 minutes to return otherwise they cannot reenter play . ( possibly open to abuse but worth a watch)

Make the corner flag kicking box bigger as too many times the ball isn't in it

Insist on 3 U20 players in first 11 and 30% u20 subs on the bench . I think it will aid competitiveness and also youth development . players don't need to be nationals but the work permit rules would help with that anyway

Any players purchased by clubs cannot be loaned out in first season but can in 2md season . but a club can only have 10 players loaned out at any one time in any season. stops big teams controlling top talent

A rule to only allow 3 loanees to be part of any match day squad for any team

No loans permitted in same league . ever . stops big teams loaning players out and writing in rules about not being permitted to play against history clubs . can be too easily abused since it means you can enhance the competition for your rivals but not for you. and ides in a 2 horse league . yes it is true that the other team can do likewise but it simply doesn't feel right

Champions league qualification should be a league. say 8 teams. say 4 groups. say 7 games per league. and seeded teams get home advantage against tougher league teams and the advantage of away ties against weaker teams. that way all teams have an opportunity to recover from a bad 90 minutes or 180 minutes. the best teams should qualify. the top teams have the same benefit in cl groups and so why not all teams

Limit number of players teams can have on their books at any point in time

Of a player signs a contract, they MUST honour at least 50$ of the contract, ie no transfers permitted in years 0 to 2 in a 4 year deal. in a 3 year deal no transfers within months 0 to 18

A lot of what I say is about attachment. ie I want to get a players name on. my Jersey and know that they will be here for at least the time or takes to change a Jersey.

06 Aug 2020 14:33:40
Nfl is 60 minutes but takes 4 hours.

07 Aug 2020 10:07:53
Another 1 i forgot is all pitches grass and same size. And maximum size at that.

06 Aug 2020 09:55:46
According to reports a deal is close for Steven Fletcher. We just cleared the squad of dead wood now we're filling it with more. If Bayo is on the way out then surely there is a young striker in the development squad that could take his place!

06 Aug 2020 10:25:02
If we are running with eddy and griff as 1 and 2 with klimala at 3 how the he'll do you keep another top striker happy with game time this might be quite shrewd business for a year. all this nonsense about age hell our captain is nearly 36 by all accounts Fletcher is a great pro and a keep fit fanatic and although not prolific he gets goals and is great in the air and holding it up. if we sign toney a few on here will take the negative that it means eddy is away club can't win.

06 Aug 2020 10:48:32
Very disappointing, considering the amazing season book sales, wages freed-up by clear-out and the huge expectation of this season.
Obviously, there is still plenty time left in the window to address the quality required in key areas, but signings like this don't really inspire or excite the squad or the support and if anything gives our detractors and rivals encouragement.
Toney and Ajeti are obviously non-starters, maybe our scouts must be recruiting from social media if this is an example?
The money should always be spent on improvement, with a moral boosting, fans buzzing, statement of intent - Maybe next time?

06 Aug 2020 11:24:03
Maybe the money we would shell out on toney could be better used. on a cb and lb we need cover on the wings Fletcher would give us good cover as av said for a year why not plenty experience. who wouldn't want toney and eddy anno I would. but if it's too rich for one year to get the ten why not fletcher.
