I’m also starting to doubt Ronnie cost us £800k. No way would we spend that much on a player just to sit on the bench. Even if McInnes isn’t his biggest fan, you’d think Cormack would be telling him to give the guy a chance before forgetting about him.

 

 

And if McInnes tells Cormack that he isn't good enough to give a chance to? Or that he doesn't fit into the system we are playing? 

McInnes might not be everyone's cup of tea but he's an experienced manager and an ex-pro. His knowledge of what makes a player "good enough" wins through every time. Remember what happened to Hearts about 12/13 years back when Romanov started dictating to his managers who they had to pick. It didn't end well for them

So about a million in total on transfer fees last season. Only Kennedy looking like money well spent as well.

Trying 6 other players at right wing back instead of playing him there is about as strong a message as you can get that McInnes thinks he's completely useless.

If we spent £800k up front I would think there would be serious pressure to play him.

He either cost absolutely nothing like that or he belongs to investors or Atlanta but not Aberdeen FC.

[Tord31]

Anyways maybe he'll hang around long enough for us to pocket some dough for having a player selected at the Copa America.

[strachanmcgheegoal]

Anyways, either he didn’t cost that sum (and we’ve seen nothing in him to suggest we did) or that football wise DM was not involved in his procurement.

i have a feeling it’s probably at a bit of both.

Cannot belive how much his annual salary is

Not missing him on the pitch one bit

Another one of the managers  crap signings

Kennedy? 

Based on what, exactly? Can't think of him standing out in any game in particular. Youth player could easily fill that role

So why would Cormack specifically say on one of his video messages a few weeks back that  we paid £800k for him? There could be no good reason for him lying about it. If he only cost say £200k.... we would only pay VAT on that figure. So he'd be laying the club open to an investigation from the authorities if they came across his video at a later date with him claiming to have paid a helluva lot more.

I doubt the 'authorities' are interested in anything other that the invoice from staebek and how it reconciles to the bank transfer and the vat account.

What anyone said is absolutely irrelevant.

[aberdeen1970]

It's strange one indeed. 

Admitting in public that we paid 800k for what looks like a dud is a weird move unless there's another game in play. 

[strachanmcgheegoal]

That’d be like signing Brian O’Neil and then not playing him.  Just imagine....

[CityCentre]

Will we ever actually see if this guy is any good?

Not tonight.....

[CityCentre]

Not even in the match day squad - will we ever get the story of what is going on here?

Why have we spent £850,000 on a player that's started two games in a year.

[aberdeen1970]

It's not happening min.  He's not going to make it at Aberdeen.

That is a huge loss to make on a player in that case.

[Tord31]

left out of the squad which is becoming standard when we have enough players fit.

Will he get on the pitch before the January window? 

[Singapore Steve]

Strange that the papers or reporters don't question his omission either.

It's not arsecheek related,  they probably don't know he exists. 

[Durrant Dived]

If he's the first to be punted out the squad when our numbers go up and isn't showing enough promise to get in ahead of an ageing Shay Logan then he's done IMO.

Yeah they wont have a clue or give a fuck. Usual. Surely no ones surprised at this.

Dropped from Venezuela squad for forthcoming matches v Brazil and Chile

[strachanmcgheegoal]

Unsurprising.  Doubt he’s got 90 minutes in him.

Good, don't want him getting unnecessarily injured. 

[Tord31]

One of the weirdest stories in our history.

If he goes to Copa America this summer we'd probably pocket £300k or something. Shame if he's falling out of the picture now.

Keen to see him stay in the game after Dons. Fingers crossed for the lad

Weirder than steve paterson in the boot of a car after getting the punt ?

It's up there.

 

[fine-n-dandy]

Why wasn’t he punted on loan or something if McInnes thinks he’s too shite to get in team?

 

why also have no reporters dared ask McInnes wtf is the story with this lad? Are they banned from asking anything?

Even more surprised that the west coast mafia media haven’t been mentioning this whole saga by now, with him being (reportedly) close to a £1m signing, though I know all they are interested in is the arse cheeks but this Hernandez signing is our equivalent of the Huns signing Flo but they at least got some value for money spunked.

This could seriously prove to be our last big (for us at least) money signing as its biting us on the arse, especially just before COVID losses.

 

[Ten Caat]

It's not quite Rafael Scheidt levels of weirdness yet but it's definitely getting there. Question is now do we try to punt him in January and try to recoup whatever we can for him or do we risk sending him out on loan in the hope he finds some form elsewhere and we bring him back in the summer? Although fuck knows who might want him in either scenario
