sooth_stander Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 Fucking amazing news, even the most ardent pant pishers will be shooting their muck over this news. Link to comment
StandFree1982 Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 5 year deal! That punch to the head must have really screwed his brain. A lot can be said about McInnes, but since he came in we've got a good record of signing players on long contracts. Prior to him, it was like 2 year max. Link to comment
TheRock Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 I didn't really think he'd stay, truth be told, but that is fantastic news. We often say when a player leaves they are replaceable but I would think we'd struggle to get a goalkeeper near to Joe's quality. Especially thinking back over the last 20 years. After Kjaer, I don't think we've had anyone close(and Joe is better anyway). Not often our best players stay. This is his third contract, I think? Some boy. Wonder if they'll try and credit Joe's new contract to AberDNA as the subscriptions come up for renewal. Link to comment

aberdeen1970 Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 Restored my faith a little. He's a guy who obviously realises the grass isn't always greener having moved around a bit earlier in his career. Link to comment

Guest Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 Joe Lewis is here for some trophies. Fucking hero of a man. New captain for me. Link to comment
TheRock Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 New captain for me.I'd usually prefer an outfield player but he definitely has all the leadership qualities you'd want in a captain. McKenna is probably off, a bit too soon for Ferguson maybe and Considine hopefully won't be a starting 11 when everyone is fit type player next season. Link to comment

Betty Swallicks Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 That is an absolutely outstanding piece of business and a real step change He is 31 and in good form, the norm would be to go chasing one last massive contract New facilities and stadium must be playing a huge factor Absolutely fantastic Its a 5 year deal he's signed min. Great news non the less. 1 Link to comment

CityCentre Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 I imagine this is the best signing we'll make all summer, excellent news. Link to comment
CalgaryDon Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 Just seen the news! Jumped up and down as though we'd scored a goal. Absolutely delighted. Just what the fans need right now. We should be encouraged by this news as Lewis will have wanted reassurance that we are going to be strengthening this summer. Hopefully this is an indication that quality players will arrive this coming transfer window. Link to comment
Zander1903 Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 How much has this cost? Askin for a friend Link to comment
fine-n-dandy Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 Fantastic news. Best bit of news/work from the club/McInnes from the season. Huge relief Link to comment
Redstar Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 To think we put up with fucking Langfield for years.Agreeing with you Del Monte is something I can’t ever remember doing before...but in this instance you are spot on...Lewis will save us 10 points a season whereas Langfield would cost us 10...essentially a 20 point swing...excellent use of the funds we couldn’t persuade Shinnie to sign with...would be my guess 2 Link to comment
King Street Loon Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 Excellent news and a great piece of business.Obviously a man who appreciates the splendor of the NE of Scotland and all it has to offer to him and his young family.His family must be very settled here. 1 Link to comment

Fair assessment that we may be resigned to losing Graeme Shinnie and funds that had been set aside for him signing on again have been used to convince Joe Lewis to stay but this news more than makes up for that.

Shinniesta Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 Great news. I think he's the best keeper in the league (I'm biased of course) but I honestly wouldn't swap him for McGregor or Bain. Has to be the next captain if McKenna leaves. Link to comment
