Once a Don

[WesthillWanderersFC]

Allegedly we have “recouped most of the fee we paid with substantial add ons”.

So would that be around £500k-£600k then with the add ons. 

Hopefully it’s used wisely…

There’s so many to pick from.

£1m Bernard. Injury the main issue 

£800k O’Neil - fanny Aitkens doing

£400k May - a lot for a one kneed player

£200k Forrester - a ghost. A figment of our imagination.

£100k Wright - a lot for a pub bouncer.

£300k Ian Cameron 

£300k Ricky Gillies

£300k Ray McKinnon

£500k Colin Woodthorpe

£300k Nigel Pepper.

£400k Jim Hamilton

The list goes on. 

Ian Cameron if he had stayed fit would have been a great player.

Remember the Skol cup semi final he tore Celtic a new Arsehole

Pay off Glass and get a real manager for starters. 

[Bournemouth Gee]

Will Glass see any of the Hernandez money though?

[ericblack4boss]

I always wheel out my staples in the shit signing discussions.

Craig Robertson.

Nicky fucking walker.

Peter hetherston 

Colin woodthorpe.

Andreas Mayer ( how can you have a player with one leg longer than the other get through a medical without it being an issue)

Who signed Jim Hamilton, was it Paul Hegarty.?

Aye, that’ll do. 

[Tord31]

It would not surprise me if Hernandez developed in to a multi million pound player.  

I'm not convinced he's utterly shite

[RED_JOHN]

The Hernandez deal doesn’t look at all dodgy in any way.

Did you pick up your ‘recreational’ meds this morning rather than your subscription ones by mistake? 

[Andy_123]

If we haven’t recouped the full amount he was bought for then the ridiculousness of this deal continues to become even worse

I'd agree but it's not like it's club money. 
 

Came out of DC's pocket. 
 

A total sham and pigs ear of a saga but it's something that should be forgotten.

I am pretty sure it was Paul Hegarty that signed Jim Hamilton from Hearts, around the same time he brought Andreas Mayer to the club on the back of his performance in Teddy Scott's testimonial (Fuck me the club (and supporters) paid for that same approach in singing a certain donkey 9 1/2 years later). 

Hegarty's only two signings during his tenure if my memory is in working order this morning.

Yup as I said before it was Dave c money , just a pity we didn’t play a natural full back in his position

Would be good for us if he did as Cormack says we have a "sizeable" sell-on clause.

[Dave Bus]

Transfernarkt got Hernandez fee down as £650,000

[Dave Bus]

That Atlanta paid

This Hernandez thing is all the evidence that club supporters need to know you cant trust the utterances of this new owner. 

This was Atlanta II Aberdeen edition. Partnership has not been good for Aberdeen. And if this owner had stones Hedges would be sold, scrubs offloaded, and someone like Jeyson Chura in at rw. You could really sell him on in a couple years for a legit return. 

Instead of recruiting more bums from down south put some serious money together and kick the old firm in the nuts on a big pre contract offer to karamoko dembele.

"Cormack added: "The board believed this to be a good investment for the club. Had we any inclination that he would rarely play, we would never have signed him.""

Chucklin' Dave must think we're all a bit simple. 

[Kiriakov33]

Genuine question.  Seen loads of posts claiming the deal to be dodgy,  skullduggery at work or shady dealings but can someone explain what the shadyness is or was ?  
An affy lot of folk getting affy upset over something that in reality isn’t as exciting as they want it to be.

Venezuelan international regular that hardly plays for us having been paid for supposedly by Cormack himself rather than the club.

That seems strange in itself. But ok, we might just have been unlucky, let's try to offload him elsewhere. 

Now Christ knows how many professional football teams there are in the world..........actually just googled and in Fifa report 2019 there were a minimum of 3903 teams over 201 countries......so what do you think the chances were that Hernandez would just somehow randomly next end up at the very club we had only a year or so before announced as our strategic partner? Most of us actually predicted it long before it happened....

We can't afford to sign players, never mind unknowns, for a million quid... but Atlanta can

We don't have a history of signing South Americans (Kurt Cobain aside)... but Atlanta does

We had a manager who claimed to have 'scouted [Hernandez] extensively'... but refused to play him

If Aberdeen spends a million quid on a player, regardless of how bad he might be, he's going to be playing. Particularly under McInnes. May was 400k, couldn't score in a brothel, yet McInnes persevered with him... so being shite was no impediment to playing for McInnes. 

When we signed Hernandez it was for a position we already had an established, albeit declining Logan... with, let's say a very decent replacement coming through the youth ranks to replace the cheeky plumber. 

Was there even a reason to sign a million pound Right Back for Aberdeen, given we're in the free/cheap market? That's so far out of the ordinary for us that you'd have to be not paying any attention at all to not sit up and take notice. 

At the time he was signed it appeared he was signed more as an Atlanta player than an Aberdeen player, and that Aberdeen was merely a transition point on his way to Atlanta, but, hey, there's thousands of other professional clubs in the world who might want to take a look at him, right? 

...and then he signs for Atlanta on a loan deal. 

... and then he signs for Atlanta permanently. 

If this all seems like it was on the up and up to you, that he was truly always an Aberdeen player, and that the plan wasn't always that he'd be going to Atlanta, then fair do's.

Agree that something was fishy about the whole deal but I have unanswered questions.

Why wouldn't Atlanta sign him direct from the Norwegian club? Why would he have to come via AFC? To get round UEFA or MLS rules?

If, just for instance, Atlanta had their full quota of foreign players, but didn't want to risk another club signing him so maybe there's another club they could use.......maybe one in Europe that perhaps they had relatively recently formed a strategic partnership with that they could park him at for a few months?

What a fucking drama queen. Do you think it would be easier to transfer a player to a club that’s our strategic partner or to one of the 3902 other clubs? 
 

Why don’t you tell us who benefited from all this and how?

So you can’t explain any of it? Didn’t think so.

P.s. I don’t think you know what the meaning of bastard is, penfold.
