Fixtures
We get back to league action and see an instant end to our clean sheet record, which ends at 13 games to Dundee after we had scored 6. And our unbeaten run as a new challenger for the league title may have emerged in Celtic who soundly beat us at Parkhead. WE got back to track beating Motherwell & Ross County with lots of rotation as well as a backup team trashing Stranraer in the cup.
SPL Table
Celtics 12 minute wonder start see's the gap at the top down to 9 points. Both old firm teams are in the Europa conference league so hopefully, we all have long European runs to deal with. At the bottom Ross County's new manager Kevin Thompson is doing a sounder job than Dundee Utd's Mark Warberton.
Transfer Window
Aberdeen features prominently as i threw out dozens of offers once I'd applied for the Hearts job and lucky for me the dons board stopped non of them. Rangers and Celtic lose more than they gain although the financed for the middle east and China are not to be frowned upon.
Aberdeen Transfer Window
In
First, I'll mention the HEarts purchases. No other way around it it's to help myself next summer. Hearts did let John Rankin spend £3m of that sadly. Probably 4 more players I'll need to offload in 6 months' time.
With this being my final 6 months at Aberdeen i wanted to make sure i gave myself the best chance possible of winning all 4 trophies so i made possibly my first two superstar signings. Both are naturally young so hopefully, Aberdeen can still bring in a profit when they move them on.
Alberr Berrnaert - MC
After our two starters Langoni & Campaz there was a massive drop off for Beernaert who i hope i can play in Europe will help us against the better teams where i'll need 3 in the middle.
Tommaso Mazzotta - DC
One of Italy's best prospects at DC joins the Dons. Unlike midfield, we had no clear option at DC alongside Valenti. Wharton does not look like he'll ever be good enough to start and Gonzalez is progressing well but for this season i need an upgrade for the squad's weakest spot.
Youths
Two youngsters for the next manager's ever-growing list of future superstars.
Out
Once i had signed the Hearts deal on January 3rd i could not control and transfers and the worst part of that was they accepted as pitiful £19m for our best forward Tadic. Made more amazing that they rejected offers of over £40m for Campez & Valenti
