ABERDEEN manager Mark McGhee has spelled out his commitment to strengthening his squad ahead of the new season to Dons supporters.
McGhee has swooped for Northern Ireland internationals Rory McArdle and Josh Magennis, and taken midfielder Conor Okus and goalkeeper Ryan Jones on trial.
But he is desperate to bring in more experienced players, and admits that players and their agents have been a major stumbling block as they hold out for better offers.
He said: "We are trying our hardest to bring in people who are going to improve the team and improve the squad. We've got six weeks to find the players that we want.
"I've constantly been on the phone, I've constantly been having meetings, but players have been slow to commit, agents have been reluctant to allow their players to commit because they somehow think there is going to be something better around the corner.
"It will all come to a head eventually and certainly as we get closer to the start of the season. We've just got to be patient, sit tight and make sure that we keep our powder dry."
This patience must extend to the supporters as well, as mooted in an Aberdeen-Mad article published on Sunday (click here).
