Aberdeen 'feverishly working' on new recruits, says Cormack
Aberdeen are "feverishly working" through various recruitment processes to identify players who can "fit the key roles" in Jimmy Thelin's side, says chairman Dave Scottish Cup winners have added forwards Nicolas Milanovic and Kusini Yengi, defender Emmanuel Gyamfi and goalkeeper Nick Suman to their insists "patience" is required as the Dons remain "disciplined" in their pursuit of more incomings, but he expects "another three or four" to come in this summer."The important thing for us is to be disciplined in the decisions we make in bringing players in," the chairman said in a wide-ranging interview, external. "There's a lot of competition for the same players, particularly young players in Scotland. "We just need to be disciplined because with this player trading approach we have, we're making a decision to lose £3m or £4m operationally a year as a club."To do that, you need to balance out with, if we're going to spend that more on wages, which will help us - for example, on transfer fees - then the player training model is important for the club."At the forefront of that model is head of recruitment Nuno de Almeida, who worked with manager Thelin at Elfsborg."We've probably doubled our scouting [with the team in place]," added Cormack. "We've got full-time scouts in Scandinavia and in southern Europe working with Nuno and they are feverishly working through groups of players we believe can fit the key roles Jimmy's still looking to fill."It really is a case of trying to be patient and allowing these guys to get on with their work."
