Aberdeen transfer state of play on Miovski, Dadia and Besuijen as major Bogarde signing update emerges

Barry Robson confirmed Aberdeen are unlikely to be busy in the January transfer market after completing a huge rebuild last summer. But there could still be some activity throughout the month.

13 signings came through the Pittodrie door last time out, with some proving to be huge successes while others have flopped. The first exit of the winter window was defender Rhys Williams, who struggled to break into the Aberdeen first team and returned to Liverpool from his season-long loan without making a competitive appearance. Slobodan Rubezic, Richard Jensen and Stefan Gartenmann have been preferred at centre-back under manager Robson, and they still have Angus MacDonald on the periphery too. MacDonald himself has been rumoured to be interesting a number of English Football League clubs as well as MLS side Toronto FC.

Another who is expected to depart the club following a disappointing loan spell is Israeli international Or Dadia. When the full-back arrived at the Dons, Robson branded him “an excellent footballer”, and claimed he was “a testament to the excellent recruitment strategy.” Although five months have since passed and the Red Army haven’t been able to witness the 26-year-old in senior action. The Press and Journal report the ball is firmly in his parent club Hapoel Beer Sheva’s corner, whether or not they will decide to bring him back early or let the deal run its course.

Many Aberdeen supporters have been left baffled by Vicente Besuijen’s exile from the squad, with the Dutch playmaker yet to feature during Robson’s tenure despite being a key figure when he first arrived in Scotland two years ago. In fact, his last cameo was a forgettable one as the Dons were sensationally dumped out the Scottish Cup to non-League
