Frank Grimes Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 That is a pisser about GMS & Shinnie Link to comment
CityCentre Posted December 18, 2018 Author Share Posted December 18, 2018 GMS ain't sticking around after next summer, with Shinnie is the likelier of the two to sign new deals, but don't get your hopes up on either.. I didn't hear any of that mentioned at the AGM? Link to comment
Betty Swallicks Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 Longer than usual, offishul shit finished at about 8.10pm, due to presentations by Fraser and Wicks on commercial activities. £1.5m of new shares agreed, which I assume is for the shortfall for the training facility, which is now fully financed. Morrisons on site in Jan, completed in June/July. Not a lot of talk on how funding is going for the new stadium, or indeed tmescales for it. No mention at all of the judicial review, and the potential impact. Looking like Lowe is heading home in Jan, GMS ain't sticking around after next summer, with Shinnie is the likelier of the two to sign new deals, but don't get your hopes up on either.. So we're losing 3 of our best players and nae moving to a new stadium? Every cloud I suppose. Good news re training facility (albeit 25 years late). Link to comment
Sonoftherock Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 I didn't hear any of that mentioned at the AGM? Reading some comments on other forums, McInnes usually mixes with the shareholders after the formalities... where he apparently confirmed the information about Shinnie, GMS and Lowe. Interestingly, I'm also reading that he apparently said we were extremely close to landing Christie on a permanent deal... agreed terms with Celtic for a fee, personal terms also agreed with Christie. Celtic pulled the plug at the very last minute due to injuries! Link to comment
BWG Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 As a shareholder who wasn't at the meeting I can confirm fuck all was said. Link to comment
Andy_123 Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 The Christie thing was common knowledge at the time I thought? Rodgers was happy to sell, Lawell wasn’t. Link to comment
Frank Grimes Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 I didn’t know we were that close Fuck me min Link to comment
Sonoftherock Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 The Christie thing was common knowledge at the time I thought? Rodgers was happy to sell, Lawell wasn’t. Think it was common knowledge that we were trying for him.... I thought that 'trying for him' was as far as it would go! Link to comment
Sooper-hanz Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 Well he's fucked now, with a potentially career 'altering' injury so I expect to see him rock up anytime soon. lol Link to comment
Tord31 Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 We have been trying to sign Christie permanently the last three windows in a row. In the summer the early sale of Armstrong meant we were not getting him in the first part of the summer. Then as they missed out on McGinn it was delayed longer. Once the season started they were still playing catch up re signings and injuries became a factor. Heyho - lesson needs to be we need to have a Plan B, C and even D. Seems to be same old story for us and it'll be the samein January. Is Moult available? NahIs Boyce available? NahOh fuck sake we've tried so hard to get a striker but its not easy to bring in someone WAH WAH WAH Link to comment
Dynamo Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 Yeah we were very close to gettingChristie permanently. So does Hobbin play left back too? Also, that's half a year got McInnes to target replacements for those leaving... Link to comment
TheRock Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 Yeah, works both ways. McInnes can start talking to out of contract players at other clubs in January too. Could be a pub quiz question about Shinnie...which Scottish footballer captained 2 different teams to a Scottish Cup win on his last game for each club? 1 Link to comment
Sonoftherock Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 Yeah, works both ways. McInnes can start talking to outbid contract players at other clubs in January too. Could be a pub quiz question about Shinnie...which Scottish footballer captained 2 different teams to a Scottish Cup win on his last game for each club? Indeed Father... if McInnes has the opportunity to sign replacements for GMS & Shinnie on pre-contracts, he must go ahead and do so. If we sit around waiting on Shinnie & GMS, hoping they wont get a better offer, we'll end up with our fingers burnt - like last summer! Link to comment

TheRock Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 Darren Jackson?Shit. I thought it might have happened before but thought it was unlikely enough to not bother checking. Edit: did he ever win the Scottish Cup? Link to comment

strachanmcgheegoal Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 Whilst I’ve heard the Christie purchase thing were we really going to pay for him AND turn down 6.5m for McKenna the same week? Really? Link to comment
Sonoftherock Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 Whilst I’ve heard the Christie purchase thing were we really going to pay for him AND turn down 6.5m for McKenna the same week? Really? It wasn't 6.5M for McKenna though, was it? It was a loan, with the option to buy McKenna for 6.5M at the end of the loan period.... Link to comment
Tord31 Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 No it was a loan with an obligation to buy. FACTION Link to comment
PondHopper Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 Can someone at the meeting give me the scoop on GMS? Any talk of chasing after anyone outside the UK amid this talent exodus from the club? Link to comment

PondHopper Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 . Nice one PHpr.( no idea what you mean tbh)You'd have to ask my dead grandfather or anyone from that generation. Regardless of my nationality I am on target. Rangers and Celtic could both be going after Fran Sol with Cruz Azul also reportedly now interested after just losing to club america. If Aberdeen wants a top two finish they'll need to do something next month. Link to comment
RUL Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 It wasn't 6.5M for McKenna though, was it? It was a loan, with the option to buy McKenna for 6.5M at the end of the loan period....Milne saying it was nowhere near 6m Link to comment
PondHopper Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 Just remember that goes in your mouth... and enjoy! Link to comment
