Stephen Robinson Aims for Smaller Aberdeen Squad Amid Recruitment Plans
Stephen Robinson seeks to streamline the Aberdeen squad ahead of the new season while continuing to focus on further additions to the team.
On Thursday, the club announced the signing of goalkeeper Marius Muller to a two-year contract. He joins a list of new faces at Pittodrie, which includes Tony Yogane, Lewis Smith, Ayoub Mouloua, Connor Ronan, Alexander Briedl, Brad Lyons, Lewis Mayo, Dan Happe, Toyosi Olusanya, and Nesta Guinness-Walker.

Robinson explained that the club acted swiftly to secure the 33-year-old German amid growing interest in first-choice keeper Dimitar Mitov and anticipates more signings in the near future.
“A manager always needs to bring in more,” he said with a chuckle.
“We’re still looking and there’s still areas we need to be stronger. There’s players I believe will leave the club in the coming weeks.
“We need to hit the ground running and do our signings early so you’re prepared. We’ve got our eyes on other people, but there’s people that need to leave as well. The squad is too big at the moment.”
