McGhee transfer update
Aberdeen, 13:31, August 4, 2009 ,
Mark McGhee says Aberdeen need at least four new signings but admits that they are finding it hard to persuade players to sign.
The Dons boss, who missed out on defensive target Reda Johnson last week, says the 5-1 home defeat to Sigma Olomouc highlighted that it is "glaringly obvious" new signings are needed at Pittodrie.
McGhee told the Press & Journal: "We need to add four players and I think by this time next year there will probably be a turnover of around eight to 10 players.
"I have been assured by the board and by Willie Miller the money is there but the problem we have had is spending it."
He added: "We have to be realistic. We are paying a maximum wage which is on a level with League 2 clubs in England and some lesser League 1 clubs but nowhere near the Championship.
"It is a problem for Scottish football because the gap has widened."
