Aberdeen after St Mirren star
Aberdeen, 15:53, August 26, 2009 ,
Aberdeen are chasing St Mirren defender Mo Camara and are preparing to offer midfielder Derek Young in a straight swap deal.
While the Saints are willing to listen to offers for 34-year-old Camara they are believed to be searching for a defender to replace the Guinean international.
While stating that Young is one player who could be on his way out of Pittodrie, Aberdeen boss Mark McGhee hinted there are also others he would be prepared to let leave, leading to talk that a deal for Camara could well go through if the Dons offered someone other than Young.
"Derek is one of those who could find himself considered as part of a trade for another player. I want other players in before the Motherwell game," said McGhee.
"You need options and it is a case of working out the best deals because we don't have a lot of resources.
"That includes considering swap deals. There are a few players who haven't featured much who we would consider trading but the players may not want to leave us at this time.
"None of my star players will be leaving before the transfer window unless someone comes in with a crazy bid.
"But of course there are lesser members who have not played as much under me who I would have to consider if we could trade them."
