With the release of something like 9 players, and debate about whether a tenth will be leaving (Aluko), the club is currently going through a typically Aberdeen close-season... inasmuch as we've signed one... that's ONE... player to cover the departures.
Further to losing Diamond, McNamee, Young, Hartley, Blackman, Maguire, Howard, Smith and Vujadinovic, we've brought in some dude called Mawene.
But, as usual, we're being told that the club won;t be hurried into signing players. Just because we might start the new season with three professional players is no reason for the club to be rushing around trying to sign players who might improve the side or give us some depth.
Last year we started our season with Duff and Young in defence. These two are actually midfielders, and they're terrible at that. Taking guys who are shite at their own position ad putting them in a completely different position.... what could possibly go wrong?
Well, quite a lot, as it happens.
Fortunately neither of them will be playing for Aberdeen next season. In fact very few people will be playing for Aberdeen next season by the looks of things. But it's quality Aberdeen is interested in, not some silly huge squad full of enough players to cover every possible position. If you have a Right Back why the fuck would you need a left back? Symmetry? Fuck that shit... this is Aberdeen, and we don't need any of this fancy 'Proper Squad Depth' shite.
Anyway, people seem to trust Craig Brown without seeming to understand that he's not the one making the budget. He's currently looking at some part-time Spanish bloke, which is a vast improvement on Calderwood looking at part-time Dutch blokes... allegedly.
Plenty part-time players playing in the Highland League, why not look there?
Because people might suddenly realise that part time is part time regardless of the fucking country of origin?
Oh yes.
