Out Of Contract

[RUL]

I think a lot will depend on what happens with crowds.

[strachanmcgheegoal]

and Hernandez

[Ten Caat]

Aye I expect the only extended contract(s) that we will see before Feb/March would be Hoban as an absolute priority and possibly Watkins and/or Edmondson loan extensions if Cosgrove is sold in January. 

Everyone else whose contract runs out next summer is a) essentially on trial to win a contract extension and b) absolutely replaceable. I'd be surprised if more than 3 or 4 actually do get extensions, one of whom I expect to be Considine.

Wasn't sure where to put this, but the Shinnie interview is great, especially the bits about Aberdeen, what a guy:

Managed 2 minutes of "hilarious" "bants" about his nose.

That was enough.

Looking at the may 2021 section, will be some difficult decisions to make. Logan considine Wright and McLennan will be likely to get new contracts you’d imagine. Not so sure on Main, Taylor, McGinn, Anderson whilst Devlin a stick on for release.

[aberdeen1970]

I think Logan and McGinn will leave in the summer. McGinn has been a great servant but the legs are starting to go now.  Same with Logan to a lesser degree.

Hmmm not sure about Logan, had Hernandez been any good at all then Logan would surely have been released next summer...maybe even allowed to go sooner if he could have fixed himself up with a club elsewhere. He might get more game time this season than expected but still think we will let him go.

Wright is questionable at best. If he can keep up his early season form consistently till Xmas then he probably will get one. But any reversion to the "old" Wright and he's binned. Taylor (after yesterday), McGinn, Anderson and Devlin are toast. Main has a bit of a chance if he can be a super-sub for the rest of the season...12 goals might just do it but more likely released. McLennan I'd give a couple of years more to as he definitely has something to offer. Consi deserves us taking up his one year option but no more after that.

I think Considine will get another contract, & possibly Scott Wright if he maintains form for another month or two.

I think all the others will be released, freeing up wages for two or three replacements.

[aberdeen1970]

Aye I'd expect Consi to get his one year option. 

As Wright is starting just now you'd expect they'll be preparing something for him. 

Jury is out on McLennan. I think there's a player there but he needs to kick on and take any chances he gets pretty soon. 

Cerny, Main and Devlin will likely depart unless Cerny has given up plans to take his uni course. 

Will be a bit of a clear out.

Despite this list regularly being posted, I wasn't aware Cosgrove was out of contract at the end of next season. Not ideal

I think he'll be gone in October. If not January at the latest.

"Hopefully".

If not, it'll probably end up being £0 at the end of his contract or a nominal fee the January after.

I'm still confused as to whether he's decent or not. Incredible goal tally since he got his first. But still regularly looks like he's never played football before.

After selling Mckenna we don't need to sell Cosgrove.... would probably rather just keep him for his goals unless the fee was mental.

Start him against St Mirren and then punt him for £2M on deadline day.

I think he wants away though and is unlikely to extend. 

Also if there are no crowds until March there might be another black hole to fill finance wise. 

On that basis I'm in favour of selling at the right price.
