Well, it's a bit quiet now!

The grass is growing and being mown and looking lovely, so that's something ready for the new season. As everybody has now seen, the pre-season tour and training camp is all sorted out, shame we couldn't get a decent friendly at Pittodrie though. Mind you a wee trip to Germany would be welcome if at all possible. Newly promoted Kaiserslautern should make attractive opposition and give the Dons a good hard match ahead of the not so attractive Hamilton coming to open the season on the 14th.
The real silence is on the player recruitment front. With Willie Miller on holiday and end date for players' current contracts not quite upon us, sod all is happening which is frustrating all round and not helpful for season ticket sales.
Players have too much power nowadays and their ability to hold up transfer deals in case better offers come along should be stomped on somehow by the authorities. Not that you can ever expect much help from the SFA, UEFA or FIFA unless your club is in the fat cat category.
One thing's for sure, the claptrap coming from Kevin Drinkel about Mulgrew is nothing but a negotiating stance. No way is good-time Charlie coming back for pre-season with us.
We need to see action on the signings front pretty quickly now or players will be arriving too late for a decent pre-season and after last season's farcial start and tiresome dithering we can't afford that again. Any player who arrives in camp too late for the start of training should be on double shifts till he catches up.
