PondHopper Posted June 24, 2022 Share Posted June 24, 2022 2 hours ago, Big Hat Logan said: Loved signing for the Dons and playing in the beginning. Our best player for several years. Has a dip in form and fans get on his back for being a hun and want rid of him despite being our best player and top goal scorer. Now he wants away as said fans have fucked it for him here. Same fans blame Ferguson for the team being shite. Its embarrassing to admit to being an Aberdeen fan now. It really is. Chips on shoulders about everything, stuck in the 80’s and the most negative, abusive fans to our own players. Money solves a lot of things. Ole Money Bags Cormack could always offer a massive extension. Walk the walk Link to comment
alscotoz Posted June 24, 2022 Share Posted June 24, 2022 I'd let him go for a fair price. Doesn't even pretend he wants to be at Pittodrie. 1 Link to comment

WesthillWanderersFC Posted June 24, 2022 Share Posted June 24, 2022 Lewis Ferguson is a strange one. He’s “good” at just about every aspect of modern midfield play, but not “outstanding” at any of them. I’d say his level is top end Championship at a Norwich or a Sheffield United etc. We will miss him when he goes. After this summer window though, his value diminishes significantly & there’s no chance he’s signing a new contract. Come early-mid August, we need to be getting the bids up from £1.5m to £2.5m with add ons (Realistically they’re not going to go from a starting point of £1.5m to Calvin Ramsay levels), and then cash in, & re-invest. 1 Link to comment
DD1903 Posted June 24, 2022 Share Posted June 24, 2022 Ferguson is a cracking player. He's just not handled things well. M will be a big miss when he goes 1 Link to comment

He's a better player than John Fleck too. Both players who've been regular starters for those teams in the EPL. Ferguson is definitely good enough for a bottom half EPL club, I'd say. Agree that we'll miss him. 1 Link to comment
aberdeen1970 Posted June 24, 2022 Share Posted June 24, 2022 I think he'll kick on again once he leaves and will likely end up playing English Premier league football for someone at some point. If he doesn't sign for the Huns first. Link to comment
Ten Caat Posted June 24, 2022 Share Posted June 24, 2022 I don't think there's a massive difference in quality between mid-table EPL sides and those in the top 4 or 5 in the Championship. So I think Ferguson could probably do a decent job at somewhere like Wolves or Southampton, although he'd probably be more of a squad player at least initially. Top end Championship would give him a better chance of being a regular starter. I do agree that if he does well wherever down south that der Hun will try to snap him up in a couple of years time Link to comment

He’s nowhere near as good as McLean was… granted McLean started slowly with us, but by the end, he was dictating games. Ferguson is a decent player at our level, but I’ve never seen him control a match, or dominate in the way McLean used to do towards the end of his spell. He was struggling to impact our bottom six matches at the end of last season. Technically they are night and day too! Ferguson will have a good career in the championship I reckon. However he’s not good enough to play in the EPL. 3 Link to comment

The key information you're missing here is the transfer request, his dad being an utter fool about the Watford bid and slating Aberdeen at every turn but yeh its all on the fans, and also him going to seville to support rangers.

Did we not sell mclean with 6 months of his contract to go and he got loaned right back to us there is a lot of history rewriting about mclean since he left tho and I think he was great for us before I get slagged for that to Link to comment

To be fair to McInnes, there has to be an appreciation on the part of the player and his agent that a move to a big club is subject to the money being right. Ferguson's been a very good player for us and we'll definitely miss him when he leaves. His head's been filled with nonsense by his father & McMurdo. Never good to have an unhappy player about the place, best for all parties he moves on this summer. Link to comment

When mclean was at Aberdeen in his last season he was called shit and not good enough for English premier league, he’s nothing but a hun he’s winding down his contract to go to them. Signed for norwich and it went 180 on him oh he’s really good we will miss him loads. 1 Link to comment
