Bojan Miovski’s transfer to Aberdeen is confirmed by manager Jimmy Thelin, who has a backup plan in case major players leave.

Jimmy Thelin is sure that if offers are made for any of Aberdeen’s top players, including Bojan Miovski, they would not back down.

The leading scorer for the Dons, who scored an incredible 26 goals in the previous season, has been connected to several elite European teams, including Bologna and Feyenoord.

Thelin has maintained that he is ready for any situation that may arise this summer, despite the fact that he is aware that things can change dramatically during the transfer window.

The new manager, speaking to the Daily Record, emphasized their proactive approach towards managing player movements in the market. They acknowledged the unpredictable nature of transfers, stating that while ideas and discussions are crucial, having a solid plan is essential due to the pride associated with playing for Aberdeen. Despite just starting in the role, they stressed the importance of connecting with everyone and shaping both immediate performance and future strategies.

The manager highlighted the significance of planning ahead to minimize stress, emphasizing the need for a coherent strategy in the face of potential player transfers. They underscored the importance of alignment among staff and coaches regarding player roles and team balance, aiming to develop and refine these aspects systematically.

Thelin gained a reputation at Elfsborg for nurturing talent and facilitating profitable transfers, such as Hakon Valdimarsson to Brentford and Gustaf Lagerbielke to Celtic. Lagerbielke, a defender, has faced challenges in making a significant impact, but Thelin recognizes the strength and depth at Celtic under Brendan Rodgers.

Thelin acknowledged his limited perspective on the quality of other players at Celtic, respecting Rodgers’ methods and beliefs. He refrained from making judgments from an external standpoint, noting the inherent competition within any team. Thelin emphasized Lagerbielke’s positive qualities while acknowledging the competitive dynamics within a club like Celtic.

Thelin granted his squad an unusual break from training on Thursday. He and his coaching staff have been putting in extra hours to impart their ideas and principles to the players.

The changes Thelin intends to implement in Aberdeen’s playing style are significant, and he acknowledges that this transformation is still in its early stages. Initially, the focus is on mastering the fundamental aspects of their game ahead of their Premier Sports Cup debut against Queen of the South.

Thelin admitted, “We have a very limited timeframe, but we must adapt and prioritize effectively. It’s impossible to implement everything immediately.”

“Even if we wanted to make rapid changes, it’s not feasible. We have to begin with the fundamental patterns within the team.”

“We’re focusing on how we play, establishing habits, and building understanding within the team—both in attack and defense. It’s about grasping the overall strategy.

“We can’t overwhelm the players with too much detail or information too quickly. We need to solidify certain aspects and reinforce them consistently. Our progress will evolve throughout the season; it’s unrealistic to expect perfection by the first game.

“We evaluate every session and maintain a structured plan. If necessary, we’ll revisit certain elements, ensuring we progress methodically.”
