Out Of Contract

[Tord31]

He has very little chance of forcing his way in to the squad for the euros so if he does we'll be very pleased with our season

If Hedges maintains his form till after New Year and forces himself back into the Welsh squad then it might be prudent to offer him a new deal fairly sharpish. Whilst I don't think he will ever be of interest to EPL teams, mid table Championship clubs would certainly be. On a newish contract, his value in the transfer market is enhanced and being involved internationally enhances it further. 

At the same time we are losing money because of Covid so might not want to have to pay him more per week(potentially) and a signing on fee for giving him a new contract now? 

Lots of other players to be replaced or renewed this summer.

Potentially interest a top Welsh club

Scott Wright offered new deal. Looking to extend Edmundson & Leigh deals until the end of the season according to P&J.

[Guest milne_afc]

Scott Wright has kb’d the offer but Dons should qualify for some kind of compo if another club signs him in the summer.

No big loss imho

Has he actually turned it down? He’s been a stand out this season. Regardless of previous form he would be a big loss going forward. Only hedges would be a bigger loss. 
 

Wouldn’t surprise me if he waits to see what is on offer in January. But it would only take another bad injury or drop in form and all of a sudden he finds himself at St mirren.  It’s the risk you take I guess.

Genuinely don't see Wright playing for anyone better than us. 2.5k cap for league 1 players and he is no where near consistent enough for a championship team to pay him any more.

[Tord31]

I'd be surprised if he didnt stay on.

If we could get £500k for him that would be interesting option - I'm not sure he's done enough yet for someone to fancy paying that for him

Probably many would have said same about Hedges prior to this season though but he was given more opportunity to change views of him that Wright has, probably because McInnes signed him

Hedges was offered the contract and opportunity to play championship football with Barnsley. Obviously didn't back his own abilities to sign it.

I'm certain that England will view him as physically too slight. And nowhere near consistent enough as you say. In Scotland, (arse cheeks excepted obv) only United, Hearts and Hibs could afford to pay him more than us if they really wanted to on a one off basis, but they'd only do that for an absolutely outstanding talent and I don't think Wright fits that profile. Good luck to him if he thinks he can get better elsewhere but I suspect he may well regret it 2 years down the line when he's plying his trade somewhere like St J or Motherwell for a grand a week less than we offered.

Completely agree. Amazed he has turned down the offer unless he is just trying to get a few more quid from us and does want to remain here.

[Andy_123]

Wright (or his agent) have ideas well above their station if they think a couple good performances at the start of this season means there will be any big money offers for him.

He’s far too scrawny to make it down south, and he certainly won’t get a game for either of the Glasgow minks.

A couple of posters post shite about Wright turning down a contract & folk swallow it.

Jesus... look who the source of it is & then have a think that maybe they talk perennial shite & are at it.

That's a hell of an 'if' !

Surely he stays on. He's the kind of player that is likely to be on the bench for 10 games in a row again before you know it. He'd be crazy to leave.

So Wright out for at least 4 weeks (operation on Saturday) so gives him plenty time to mull over his new contract or even talk to other clubs

Some boy was Bob. 

Not only did he take reggae music to the masses he also predicted the internet. 

If only he'd got that toe seen to a bit earlier.

He was a Rasta, he knew his toe was going tae kill him and his religious beliefs stops him from removing any part of his body, fucking religion

One year extension for Considine

[aberdeen1970]

Well done Andy. 

Will surely be a one club man now.

Scott Wright's dad said he turned it down. So a reliable source this time...

[fine-n-dandy]

Wonder if Considine has any plans on doing his coaching badges?

Not to unrealistic for him to be a future Aberdeen coach of sorts or even manager.

Considine/Robson combo maybe, or Sheerin?

He's doing them. 

[aberdeen1970]

Is Wright going to sign a new deal or fuck off on a Bosman? 

Has McLennan been offered anything yet?

Maybe, but will be his final contract with us....he will leave at the same time as McInnes. He'll be 35 when it runs out. Depends if he decides to call it a day at that point or keep playing another couple of years. If he's doing his badges, he might fancy a couple of years as player-coach somewhere like Montrose or Forfar

I dont think Wright is on a complete free transfer this summer? 

It's not clear he's done enough in the last 7-8 years to merit a team playing £300k for him at this point.
