Vernon Won't Set Goals Target

Aberdeen new boy Scott Vernon will not be setting himself any scoring targets for his first season in Scottish football.

Dons boss Mark McGhee completed the double signing of Yoann Folly and Vernon to take his tally of new boys to five after recruiting Rory McArdle, Josh McGennis and Mark Howard.

Vernon, 26, who was with Colchester United last season, will go straight into the squad for Tuesday's match against Port Vale - but is reluctant to put pressure on himself.

"I did set targets when I was younger and it backfired on me so since then I've never really set targets," Vernon told RedTV. "I just want to play as many games as I can and score as many goals as I can and obviously help the team.

"I like to get hold of the ball and link with the midfielders, get in the box and get on the end of crosses as much as I can and I feel if I get the chance I can stick the ball in the back of the net." [Aye, that's called 'being a striker' Verno... - Ed]
