Aberdeen boss McGhee planning huge summer clearout
Aberdeen boss Mark McGhee is planning a massive overhaul of his squad.
McGhee has warned current top-team players they could be ditched as he swings the axe.
He said: "I'm very positive about the fact we are coming to a point where I will be able to change things.
"I am going to have the chance soon to really put my stamp on this job which is partly to do with a natural cull. If people want to leave then they can and I am looking forward to that and I am getting ready by preparing lists of names.
"I am hoping Mark Kerr might stay but he might go and it appears Gary McDonald and Charlie Mulgrew have decided they are leaving. There are boys who have only been here for a year like Davide Grassi, Stuart Nelson and Paul Marshall so the numbers start to go up.
"Then you have Jim Paterson and Steve MacLean who are likely to go back to Plymouth because of the costs involved. I think it's important we start next season with a totally fresh outlook which of course includes some of the players already here.
"I have to decide if the players under contract still have a role to play and if they don't then I have to try to change them as well. But I am not going to be panicked into anything just because the fans want to hear I have signed someone.
"I can't afford to compromise as I was brought here to build a team around the young lads and I need players who can help them rather than just play alongside them."
