Aberdeen tweets 9-year-old’s wonderful transfer list

Yes, we agree. We agree with all of this, Boyd Gibson.

Aberdeen fan Boyd Gibson has the best ideas about how to run his favorite club. He sent the club his ideas for who they should pursue in the transfer market this summer, and the club thought his suggestions were wonderful.

We’ve decided to construct this list of players into starting XI. Behold! The greatest team ever assembled!

Sorry for making you play defense, Samuel Eto’o. Someone had to. You’ll have to cover for the best and most complete goalkeeper of all time, Mario Balotelli.

I would also like to apologize to Boyd for dropping Kris Boyd, who I imagine he only likes for his name, and possibly for being Scottish. It’s just that you’ve attempted to construct the most fun team ever and Kris Boyd doesn’t really fit in with the overall aesthetic. A-plus for effort, though.

If Boyd Gibson ran Aberdeen, the Scottish Premier League would be by far the most fun league on earth. We commend him for being a gifted visionary, and also adorable.
