We asked for your thoughts on Aberdeen's business in the January transfer window.
Here's what some of you said:
Gary: It’s very difficult to be optimistic as a Dons fan, really hard watching Falkirk, Hearts and Hibs who are miles ahead of us. Too many continued loan signings that don’t give the squad stability moving forward. Loan signings don’t really care about the club as they know in five months time they are potentially heading back to their own club. Time for change at the top.
Fred: I cannot see the window activity making us a stronger team in the short term. We have lost two creative players and signed players who have struggled for game time in their previous teams. For me the only real positive is the new goalkeeper. I hope the new and old players can quickly gel into a team.
Steve: Absolutely devastated that Leighton Clarkson has gone. What a talent, wasted this season through lack of game time. Why not put him out on loan? But to see loan players who were brought in, and let’s face it, they’re only here to get game time, start before you, must be demoralising despite putting the effort in on the training pitch. It will be interesting keeping tabs on him at Blackpool now. Thank you Leighton, for everything you gave to the Dons, and hopefully you’ll agree, “once a Don, always a Don.”
Mark: A first window for the new sporting director gets some pass marks for addressing some squad gaps and shifting some of the dead wood and expensive low impact players. This is clearly a stop gap until the summer when the real work will begin. Aberdeen remain a paper tiger.
Ian: They have left themselves a lot to do but the players need to step up now. They have let the club down badly, hopefully the new players will have a bit more fight about them.
Stuart: Disappointed the club has not signed a player that would have got the fans jumping in their seats. Too many unknowns coming in and can I just say all the best to Clarkson at Blackpool, a hugely talented player who graced Pittodrie.
