The next Miovski? Your views on Lazetic's Aberdeen arrival

We asked for your views on Marko Lazetic's Aberdeen 21-year-old forward has signed for the Pittodrie side from AC Milan for an undisclosed what some of you said: Paddy: He may not have made the grade at Milan, but he was there for a reason. Hopefully Aberdeen can bring him on like Bojan Miovski. We need a striker badly let's hope this is the Like Leighton Clarkson and Ante Palaversa, they showed great potential when younger, so there is obviously something there. Let's hope that the Dons coaching staff can bring the best out in him. A great opportunity for Lazetic to become a Dons legend, so let's hope he takes Fingers crossed his goal scoring will come. He hasn't exactly been prolific but he's young and hopefully just coming into his game. Thirty goals a season would be We seem to be signing players for the future on long contracts, not sure if it will help the club if they need a lot time to settle. Would be fine to see some Scottish players for He is not tried and tested but presumably the recruitment team see something in him that inspires hope. I must admit I still think we need a seasoned scorer with Scottish Premiership Could be a right bargain signing, the fans will warm to any player if they put the effort in on the pitch, hopefully he hits the ground running and becomes a Dons legend.

'Most important thing to a good start to a season is early recruitment'

Without early recruitment "you are always trying to play catch-up", says David Moyes' former assistant Steve season got off to a difficult start on Monday as they lost 1-0 away to promoted side were out-played in the first-half as manager Moyes tries to contend with a high turnover of players this summer."The most important thing to a good start to a season is early recruitment," Round told BBC Radio 5 Live Breakfast."You get the chance to work for six weeks of pre-season with your team - getting them in shape, in the way you want to play and with your identity, that stature and structurer you want to get in place."But, if you don't get new recruits in until the last week [of the transfer window] - and you saw that with Jack Grealish against Leeds - you can't really embed them into the way you want to play. You are always trying to play catch up and it's very, very difficult."The Toffees have brought in seven new faces so far this transfer window, but that comes off the back of a campaign where a starting XI's worth of players left the had been vocal during pre-season about the need to bolster the a thin squad, saying after a 3-0 defeat by Bournemouth that they needed at least six more players."Everton are starting to get one or two better players through the door, and I think they'll get two or three more before the end of the window. But, it will have been really frustrating for David not having them at the start of the transfer window so they can work with the team," Round added."They need cover at left-back.

A quality striker to be the real number nine."Listen back on BBC Sounds

Tyson Fury teases major announcement after pulling yet another retirement U-turn as £300m Anthony Joshua fight looms

TYSON FURY has teased that a major announcement is on the horizon amid his continued tooing and froing from retirement. The Gypsy King kicked up a fuss in the aftermath of his second straight defeat to Oleksandr Usyk last December and announced his FIFTH retirement from boxing. 4 4 But he performed a public U-turn in April as he campaigned for a trilogy fight with the two-time undisputed heavyweight king. The Wythenshawe warrior, however, dashed the hopes of fans excited to see him fight again earlier this month by claiming he will " NEVER" set foot inside the ring again. But he's once again left the boxing world on tenterhooks by revealing he's set to make a big announcement. He said on his Instagram story on Monday: "I've got the biggest announcement of the year incoming. Stay tuned." Fury, who celebrated his 37th birthday earlier this month, has arguably the biggest payday of his career awaiting him if he does decide to lace up his gloves again. A lucrative and long-overdue battle with Brit rival Anthony Joshua is in the offing for the dad-of-seven. But the former two-time king of the heavyweights could seemingly care little about fighting again, telling Sky Sports when asked if he'd return to the ring: "Never. Really! "[I'm] too old, look at my beard, all grey. Boxing 's a young man's game." Fury's latest comments on a return to the squared circle are in stark contrast to the admission he made about fighting last month. Speaking ahead of Usyk's rematch with Daniel Dubois at Wembley, he said: "I do miss it. Tyson Fury, 36, claims he will 'NEVER' return to boxing just weeks after announcing comeback and hints at new career "Every single day I wake up in the morning and miss it. "I've been away seven months, missed it every day. I'm open to offers at the moment. "I'm not going to be doing any comebacks this year, that's for sure. "I'm busy, as you can see, I've got Netflix here. I've got the biggest announcement of the year incoming. Stay tuned!" Tyson Fury on Instagram 4 "And then next year, the big GK is going to make a f***ing comeback. "The takeover! I'm gonna be 37 in about three weeks. "I'm going to be the oldest swinger with all these young boys coming up.
