I hope he doesn’t. It’s a really bizarre signing if there’s no buy option, but the lad is just coming to play football and we all want the dons to succeed. As mentioned, really poor optics, would love an explanation if there’s no buy option. Now, if we sign welsh for 6 months with no buy option then we’ve lost the plot. perhaps better options are available when we have a manager, or in the summer, but uncomfortable times at present.

Just a desperate move by us. A player that was supposedly very close to signing for us last year, under freedom on contract, only to ditch us when the huns dropped their drawers. Fuck him. He had better do well and quickly, as this signing has the potential to get very messy, very quickly.

This is a fucking disgusting, tone deaf, tinpot, shite move. Learned fuck all from the Scales and Christie ("we very nearly signed him though") debacles. I fucking hate fitba.

I'm delighted the jambos are oot

It would be nice for someone to tell him to fuck off. Worth a go, seeing as they’ve tried everything else

A gentlemans agreement with the hun? Come away min. They are cunts, pure and simple. They haven't even paid Dundee a penny for him yet either. There should just be a rule that we don't do business with them, unless we absolutely have to.

I think you're all looking at this wrong. There is every chance that we drag Lyall Cameron down to our sorry level, drive most of his football ability out of him, and send him back to Rangers a shadow of the player he was. Lutz knows what's he's doing here.

I used to boo David Winnie when he was warming up

Cameron had the chance to come here and “just play football” last year but chose to take the Hun coin instead. We should not be helping him get game time now that decision has bitten him in the arse.

I don’t watch football to cheer on Huns

Fuck sake.

Jambos oot. Shame.

Totally agree. He'd probably be in tears. Clearly a kid who never got a slap from his maw

On his debut as well

If there's an agreement in writing then the club tells its fans, for obvious reasons. If there's no agreement in writing then a scum gentlemen's agreement is worth absolutely fuck all. If he plays well enough to get into their squad, he's in, and any agreement with us is done. If he doesn't then we've just had a pish player for a few months. He'd have to be really good to make the move worthwhile for even a short term perspective. A guy that wins us 3-4 games with his creativity or goals. In a way that Armstrong, Aouchiche or Clarkson wouldn't. Whilst ensuring that at least one of those is sidelined. You're not wrong about it being a position we don't need either. Who in the world thought that we were crying out for a lightweight, flashy midfielder?

Doesn't matter how shyte we are, Hibs can always bring a smile to my face. What's the saying about life, the only certainties are Death, Taxes and Hibs, hibsing it.

Hibs have Hibsed it.

Want to get the fans back onside Dave? Get the chequebook out and get this man back up the road.

I also want to add we assume the club is stupid or made a mistake. It’s how most of us feel. Perhaps there is a buy agreement, whether in writing or a gentlemen’s handshake. Lutz has relationships with rohl and someone else on staff, perhaps there’s more to it? what equally confuses me is that he plays a position we don’t need. He may be better than Armstrong Clarkson polvara Shinnie Marshall or any central mid, but more questions than answers as there are certainly other priorities.

I would argue that Martindale hasn't been mentioned because he's basically Livingston FC. But, yes, it's entirely superficial with him to, he's clearly a good manager. The only doubts I'd have with Martindale are his abilities in setting up to play football rather than not to lose games (although I think he's largely answered those last season and to an extent this), but also work in a role where he doesn't have control over recruitment and all other aspects (fixing the bogs etc). I'd have Martindale over Robinson for example. Both Martindale and McGlynn will likely be better managers than many of the "foreign", "young and hungry" types that we seem to employ because they fit one of those categories rather than their ability. We're back round to the elder statesman in the managerial merry-go-round I expect, and so McGlynn would largely be welcomed. Martindale won't be mentioned for the obvious football reasons above (I'd hope nobody is still harbouring something over his previous convictions), but many will look at the superficial reasons too.

But "lower league vibes" is just superficial pish. Like Steve Clarke being dour and stubborn. His record speaks for itself out with hearts, he's clearly a decent manager. Jack Ross, Russell Martin etc all come across as modern, intelligent "professionals", but anyone who's worked in any organisation anywhere knows that has little to no bearing on how they perform. Image is basically worthless. Indeed, it's often the sign of a charlatan. That he doesn't subscribe to any of that pish is a good thing.

If we continue the insanity of the passing it about the 6 yard box & inverted fucking wingers I think I’ll spontaneously self combust. Now, where did I put that household fire extinguisher again…

The Raith boss Dougie Imrie says the pressure is on Aberdeen. Well, Douglas, we eat pressure for breakfast, min.

Things just got worse for the folk in Gaza. Trump has named his 'board of peace'. Tony Blair Steve Rubio Jared Kushner Steve Witkoff Of course Donald is Chairman. You'd think a near 80 year old man would have enough on his plate, being president the US. It's like something you would have expected from an episode of Brass Eye many years ago, but it's well beyond the parody stage.

Just as well he’s not a dons player

I assume he's getting a large booing if he comes on at Pittodrie? None of the "I'll support him in a Dons top" pish. This is a fucking rank move.

There was nothing on club statement about option to buy and reading Cameron’s quotes he is here to show what he can do in this league to me that reads show Danny Rohl what he can do so he gets more chance next season Pathetic move from the club and regardless of the how the lad plays, shouldn’t be borrowing players from either arse cheek to develop them for the future try a bit harder developing our players

As bad a move as that is under normal circumstances, the timing couldn’t be worse right now. We are a club letting so much slip right now and the fan base is lost with what the plan looks like. The optics here absolutely stink.

Short term shite. Fucking stupid move. Who drops out to give this hun fuck game time. A Hun who rejected chance to join us already. Really not happy with this.

They will have exemptions according to article I read.

Sokler and Vinny definitely prove the old line that absence makes the heart grow fonder. Both were spectacularly average. Nowhere near what we need to actually progress and get better. I agree they are no worse than some of the dross we have here now, but by fuck that’s an incredibly low bar. Nothing against either and I wish them the very best in their careers, but they are absolutely not what we need moving forward…

Sokler would possibly as done well as any of our strikers this season, that's not saying much mind, but he would have faced the same issues the rest of them have have. It's not really fair to say he didn't get a chance. He could score a spectacular goal, no question, but feck me, you knew if he was through on goal, one on one with a keeper, you knew it would be a spectacular miss. He had 26 starts and 46 appearences from the bench for Aberdeen and scored 12 goals, six of those coming in the league cup. I like the loon and I honestly hope he goes and has a great career, but best for us and him that he is away.

Sokler's chance to really kick on and stake a place in the team was after his wonder goal at Easter Road, but he spent most of the second half of last season injured. He was unlucky in that respect, but between the Hibs game & his injury, he started four out of five games and didn't score in any of them, and the Hibs goal was his only one since October, so he wasn't exactly a striker in form. It didn't look good that we sent him out on loan though, but kept Ambrose and signed Yengi. And from memory he looked okay in both legs v FCSB. Really, we should have given him a chance, but if we're looking at Hearts and Hibs as our benchmark, is he as good as Shankland, Braga or Boyle? I'd argue Nisbet better than him too.

On the plus side the meltdown from the smug cunt of a Falkirk fan in my office when I told him McGlynn was favourite was almost worth McGlynn getting the job.

This cheered me up. The comments on the Killie post on Twitter announcing this are also well worth a read - especially from Notts County fans. This was my favourite: “There was literally a highly contagious virus raging through the #notts squad in December and he didn’t even catch that ”

Remember when we helped develop Ryan Christie for the smellies, then he scored the winner against us in a cup final? That was good fun
