Rumour is that Henry has signed a contract with Barce. If Eto'o stays, can you imagine them two playing together.

Lovell is wanted by Bournemouth apparantely, but Calderwood has said they would need to break the bank to get him.

Bit dissapointed, as I would have hoped Jimmy would have just told them where to go and say he's one of our most important players and he's not for sale. He's got two years left on his contract anyway.

de Visscher looks really good. I think he's gonna get a starting place. He's very small but quick and skillful.

Very tough start to the season, though. We can't afford another opening day draw to United. Is anyone else a bit sick of United away for the first game of the season? It pains me to see so many enthusiastic folk flocking down and filling up Tannadice. It's only United that benefit. A home game would have been much better to try and get a bumper crowd and hopefully a win. Hopefully if we get a result we will get a big crowd against Hearts.

Scary, because it proves no one is safe.

Wonder how Jimmy Glass feels now?

Looks like Anderson's off to Sunderland:
BBC SPORT | Football | My Club | Aberdeen | Anderson opens Sunderland talks

Pissed off the club haven't tried to keep him at all and £1million seems a pathetic amount considering the kind of cash going for other Scottish players just now.

Less than a year left on his contract, probably only getting a couple of grand a week wages. I don't think 1million is that bad business. If you had him tied down on a longer deal, with a higher wage i'd suggest 2.5 Million would be a reasonable figure. At least you'll be using the money to keep Jimmy Calderwood on as manager

Just wonder how long Anderson's knee/back will last in the EPL?

[Jim Stax]

The Don's summer signings have shown signs of preparing for Anderson moving on. Shoring up the back incase he is sold off. Make business sense but many, including me, will be gutted if he goes. 'Local lad does good'.

also watch him walk straight into the Scotland back 4 once he's left Aberdeen.

Don't you mean the Rangers national squad?

i really hope russell is a success down south the boy deserves it. interesting to see how he will cope with the pace of the premiership, i remember andy johnson taking the piss in the friendly last year.

He's probably not tall enough for the Premiership. £1 million for a player with only a year left on his contract is good business, but that assumes that he would walk away for nothing at the end of contract and not resign.

A decent chance that he won't get a game down there because of his height and will be back at the Dons in a couple of seasons having made soem good cash in the interim.
