I agree it isn't, but he was still our best player which means playing him wasn't a mistaken 

Also means the move to them isn't as foregone as some may think

If it was imminent,  he wouldn't have played 

Would you still play him if he signed a pre contract with them? I wouldn't. 
 

Agree re him being our best player yesterday but ultimately he had a few chances and produced some really weak efforts. 
 

It's ripping the pish out the fans, playing a player who we know wants to go there. I don't think Derek quite gets it, being one of them himself. 
 

All in all, Wright is part of an Aberdeen team that got pumped 4-1 away to the bottom side, and deservedly so.

No, IF he signed with them pre contract he should not only not play, but shouldn't be trained by us either

Let him get out of shape 

I admire your hope but he's gone. I don't think he'll sign for them this month as they don't need him just now, and Derek will continue to play him. 
 

Foolish of McInnes though, it'll only add to the increasing fan frustration.

Not allowed contractually. 

Has to be given facilities to train. Doesn't have to be with the first team squad though.

I think you massively overestimate our “rivalry” with Rangers

I know the club don't view it as anything other than another competitor in the league. That's not important, though. It's what the fans think. You get the odd Rangers fan who likes to say it isn't a rivalry, but all you need to do is look at Aberdeens twitter or on any Rangers forum to see that they hate us every bit as much as we hate them.

The club have never understood it really, and have sought to have good relations with the first club and the second club under Milne. This Scott Wright shit now only adds to the frustration.

Certainly doesn't seem like he's rushed into signing up for the Huns like most expected. 

Gerrard said a week ago that they were really close. I was expecting it to be done Monday or Tuesday at the latest. 

Or it's stage managed intentionally.......wait till 48 hours or so before the window slams shut then annnounce he's signed the pre-contract. Sevco then try to low-ball us with a pathetic offer to get him onboard immediately in the hope that we are so strapped for cash that we will take anything at all

Aye possible. 

Maybe they're struggling to get a Hun to come on loan

I thought I'd stumbled into the Football Clichés thread for a second! ?

Is he a Hun yet? Richard Gordon seemed convinced yesterday that something will be announced within 24-48 hours..

Well he will have a day off today....they won't sign him without putting him through a fairly stiff medical given his previous history so don't be surprised if he's in Glasgow today getting that done (huns mainly use Ross Hall hospital for their medicals, only a mile or so away from their hovel)

Edit...and they announced the pre-contract signings of a couple of Bournemouth players fairly late last night. Probably been busy working on those and now can turn their attention to Wright

That's what I thought when I heard him speaking about it yesterday, seems like a done deal. Hope we've managed to negotiate writing off the McCrorie fee rather than Stewart coming in the opposite direction.

Stewart's comments on twitter have effectively ruled that one out ever happening, either now or in future

A lot of whats posted on social media is fake news.

Stewart has also 'supposedly' started following Aberdeen FC on twitter or Instagram. 

I think we'll see the McCrorie fee voided and potentially one/both Stewart and Jones join us on loan with the option of a permanent deal in the summer.

As a player, I'd much rather sign Jones over GMS. He's only 26 and has a lot to prove. GMS is 31 in August and has had some serious injuries in the past few years. Also worth mentioning that he was garbage yesterday for Hearts.

Stewart can replace McGinn.

The hold up could also been on Aberdeen's end to extract more. I like completing the mccrorie deal, but not sure how excited i am for the club to take our rangers trash. Let them pay their end of the bench and maybe look south for younger loanees with upside.

I remember when wright and hoban weren't too popular and I stuck on their bandwagons. Shame they might be lost.
