SupportmeansSUPPORT Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 I notice in the Scott Burns article about Sheffield Wed being scared off by the price for Sam Cosgrove that he also says there is interest from both sides of the border for Funso Ojo https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/sam-cosgrove-transfer-news-sheffield-23382154 "There is also interest in Aberdeen midfielder Funso Ojo from both sides of the border that could materialise before Monday." I'm sure you would all be gutted to lose Funso. Link to comment
Byrne Baby Byrne Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 Big Funso epitomises the recruitment of the last 3 or 4 years Link to comment
Tord31 Posted January 26, 2021 Author Share Posted January 26, 2021 A wee loan deal for Ojo would be nice. Keep McGeouch fit and move Virtanen up the pecking order. Link to comment

Ten Caat Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 Interest in Ojo is bizarre. On both sides of the border too. I think we can safely say that in England it's going to be from EFL1 or lower. But the EFL1 wage cap sits at an average of £1700 per player. I can't see him wanting to take a pay cut anytime soon.....nor can I envisage a club there wanting to cough up close to twice what they "should" be paying a player. As for Scotland......who could afford the £3k/week? Outwith the cheeks who obvs won't be interested.......the Edinburgh clubs, Kilmarnock and maybe Motherwell on an individual case basis. St Mirren supposedly are paying Brophy an equivalent wage but I think they view him as a "star" striker and as such are paying him a commensurate salary. Ojo is just a bog standard midfielder. And anyway these clubs have all seen first hand that he's really done nothing in his time with us that suggests he's worth a contract on such terms anywhere else. On balance, I think I'll believe this story about purported interest when I see the club stating that they've accepted an offer Link to comment

Because as Tord says no other club will pay him 3k a week, so he will want a pay off to make up the money he is contracted to with us... or he won't leave Link to comment

StandFree1982 Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 3k a week for that cunt? laughable. That's about 1.5k per completed pass per week. 1 Link to comment

I don't see us paying off Cosgrove this month but I agree he also carries a negative transfer value based on his performances since Dubai trip. Link to comment
Guest Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 Given that fans will not be allowed in stadiums any time soon + the season will most likely be completed, it is not beyond the realms of possibility that we will be aiming to shift a number of players off the books sooner rather than later. Reckon that Cosgrove will be sold this window, hopefully for a reasonable fee + add ons. Another example would be we cannot afford to retain both Ojo and McGeouch therefore stories about Ojo potentially moving make sense. Given the current financial climate can see others going too with squad places being taken up by the younger development players (no bad thing in my book)? Link to comment

SupportmeansSUPPORT Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 Ojo was quite highly rated in League 1 when he played with Scunthorpe and there was championship interest in him away back then. I think interest from there will be based on his form for them as opposed to how he has played since moving up to Scotland. I would assume the interest north of the border is from Motherwell. I posted a few weeks back when Graham Alexander took the well job that he was the manager who took him to England and was a big fan. Would assume that any move there would be likely to be a loan though. Link to comment

The Gee Man Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 Most clubs certainly in our league will have to sell to cover the current losses. Celtic selling frimpong in a way proves that. Also feel huns moving early with a lot of free out of contract signings is because they are hoping/needing to sell in the summer and after a good season for them are hoping for big bids to balance the books Link to comment
