Porteous could be on his way to Galatasaray for 1 million plus add ons. I wonder if we were after Daniel Mackay. Apparently he's the next Ryan Christie. ICT have 4 players in the International U21s. Roddy McGregor, Robbie Deas, Cameron Harper and the Hibs bound McKay. We should be sniffing about there. Link to comment

It is a concern though, WHY don't we have any decent u21s ? We need to be having at least one player coming through a year really, that is good enough for us and national youth team. Ramsey might get a chance if the young hun is now in the senior team. Link to comment

It should be viewed as a major concern to Aberdeen that there is nobody from within their ranks thought worthy of being called up. Unless there is some reason we're not aware of as to why some players have not been selected. Campbell should be kicking himself that he's not been selected. Thought he might've gotten in after run of games at the tail end of the season. He's maybe recognised that he needs to be better as he seems to have spent the last few weeks doing extra training which is good to see. Big season for him coming up. Link to comment

Archie Mair is a product of our academy and starts in goal. The captain of U21 Wales side is also a product of our youth academy. Looking at squad Campbell surely has to be in there. Very few in that squad have played the number of first team games he has in SPL. Link to comment

Wester Hailes Skins Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 Seems to be a lot of chat that Luton's offer blew everybody else out the water. One poster on Kickback saying Hearts are gutted, tried all they could, but the Luton offer is worth THREE TIMES as much. Assuming we pushed the boat to the top of our salary range. We might have offered him £4k-£5k a week. Even assuming Luton went to only £10k, that's ridiculous and shows what Hearts, Hibs and Aberdeen are up against. 3 Link to comment

Especially when you consider they have a turnover of similar to Hearts and Aberdeen yet paying double the wages. There turnover was half that of Aberdeen’s prior to getting promoted. Majority of championship clubs are over 100% wages to turnover it’s just utter madness and hope the shit hits the fan sooner rather than later! 1 Link to comment

My father in law is a taxi driver and picked up Greg Halford from the airport when he signed for us. At that time, Shinnie was still deciding where to go...he asked Halford about what sort of cash Shinnie would likely get and was told if he went to Championship probably between 15-20k a week and league 1 would be around 7/8k. Mental cash for the level. Link to comment

Mental cash for the level. Would be interesting to know how much Greg Halford made from his few months spell at us, given that he only made it onto the pitch for about 6 minutes. On a pounds per minute basis he must be up there as one of our highest ever earners. Link to comment
