I wouldn't pay much attention to any of these predictions at this stage, the transfer window in the remaining weeks could shape or kill a teams season. I include ours in that.

I would pay much attention because they're predictions from ex-footballers and have no bearing on our season whatsoever.

We will be signing a keeper I assure you. I can't promise it'll be Ramsdale, I can't promise it'll be Johnstone, I can't even promise they'll be any good but there will be a keeper coming in this transfer window.

Miovski not in Aberdeen starting line-up today but came on as a sub in 89th minute. Make of that what you will as they say in certain Circles.

If/when we loan in a keeper to be second or third choice, there is going to be a proper meltdown on here.

May as well prepare for Championship already then. Honestly, why do we have such a blind spot? Watch it cost us at least 10 points

Chelsea have just slashed another £50M + on Neto and are about to go again on Omorodion. I think there may be some decent opportunities for us there especially in the loan market. It also makes a complete mockery of FFP and illustrates why football is so broken.

Lovechild of Brett Ormerod and Rydian?

89th minute! Definitely a send off. Isn't he heading to Genoa

Expand  

All but done according to an Aberdeen lad at the club, I believe it was a token send off at his request.

Rooney getting spanked. Long season ahead for Plymouth. Come on Saints, cheeky bid for Whittaker even though he was pants today.

Is he good enough for the Prem? I don't recall him troubling us in either game.

Rebuild for next season’s Championship push! Well travesty of travesty he beat AA into the team of the season last year so he must have something about him! Seriously how AA didn’t get in that team I’ll never know.

Celtic wanted to play their best player in an important game who no one has matched their valuation for yet?

Madness isn’t it? Just goes to show we’ve got to pick players up before they make it in Spain, Italy or Germany.

Be interested to see what Miovski goes for to Girona. £3-5m perhaps, and one good season we’ll be asked to pay £15-20m

Maybe that's the thinking behind picking up a few Brazilian and Japanese players and loaning them to Turkey for the season.

Looks as though he's going to Ipswich so we'll see how he does in the Premier League. He's someone we could have afforded I'd have thought.

I was very disappointed in him when we played Blackburn at Ewood Park. A stroppy little sod who moaned constantly at his teammates if they dared to pass it to anyone else but him. His goal scoring record is excellent but I doubt if he would be as successful if a team wasn't built around him.

28 years old only one good season ever at championship level pretty unremarkable before that in league one and the championship. Can’t say I’m disappointed we haven’t signed him.

Szmodics is a top top finisher. Sort of player we should be after in my opinion.

He did very nearly score with a lobbed effort from 40 yards, mind……

What’s funny is they’ve spent all that money, assembled such a huge squad and yet it is still bang average. 
 

Will be very surprised if they even make Europa league spots

Armando Broja is "ready to move" to Stuttgart, who are in early talks to sign the Chelsea striker, reports Sky Germany. 

Sky Sports News reported this summer that Broja is on the lists at Everton and Southampton among others.

According to this

https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/premier-league/einnahmenausgaben/wettbewerb/GB1

We have the 7th Highest Net spend this summer (€-51.56m) and are 11th for money out (€63.15m)

We know Leicester are likely to get a large points deduction in September but there are other clubs who are sailing extremely close to the wind when it comes to profit and sustainability rules, making it look like we are under spending, when we’re not.

1 bad season could see a few clubs in real trouble over the next season or so, we have to find that balance of spending enough to stay in the premier league but not risking the clubs future.

I’d like to see us get a few loans in now and I suspect we wont see much movement until the last week of the window at this stage
