minijc Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 I have a feeling Gallagher may end up here, I'd just be surprised if it's announced before the final game of the season. Link to comment

I could understand what you say if Motherwell were still in relegation trouble, but they have two meaningless games left. If he’s coming, maybe we’re just being respectful towards Gallagher & Motherwell. Decent signing if true, we’d need someone alongside him, ideally with a bit of pace & left sided. A McKenna replacement basically. Link to comment
Ten Caat Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 Aye there's really no good reason why if Gallagher is all agreed, why we cannot announce it now. I could understand if both clubs were still in the SC...we would have been facing each other in the semi's the way the draw panned out.......but we are both out and we won't be facing each other in the league till next season so cannot affect each other's final league positions. I know he's now the wrong side of 30 but that doesn't concern me as much as signing a striker over 30 would. It isn't as if he has been overplayed in his career either, and his year in pokey has actually maybe done him a favour career lengthening wise. At 6ft 5 he's a big old unit, but still fairly mobile for his size. As WW says, a quick left sided CH (ideally in his early 20s) would be what I want to partner him......give Gallagher a 3 year contract and the younger one a 4 year contract so we don't end up in the same boat again needing to replace so much of the backline at once. Get it done Glass Link to comment
Hoofball Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 Aberdeen are also trying to negotiate a deal for Campbell so don’t want to piss Motherwell off by announcing Gallagher as it could well cause Motherwell to demand more in compensation. Bullshit I know 1 1 1 Link to comment

Why the fuck would motherwell negotiate anything less than what they are due without a sell on, which would be stupid from us after cosgrove. 1 Link to comment

Is he not of an age now where there is no development fee payable if he signs for an English club or goes abroad? (same scenario of what happened with Aribo joining sevco for example) The club might leverage that situation to say "we are interested but not if we have to pay £400k or so. If he goes south, you get nothing. We can afford £250k (or whatever figure they think is appropriate). Take it or leave it" Link to comment

There is a set formula as to the compensation payable. But the age for an international transfer where a development fee is no longer payable is a year less than that for a domestic transfer Link to comment

I’m sure Aribo would’ve landed Charlton millions of he’d stayed in England but the huns only had to pay a few hundred thousand Link to comment

Gallagher will be interesting... a chequered past and a quick scan of the Motherwell forums suggests he has previous in terms of getting involved with fans on social media - which seems to have upset a few of their fans. Playing for Aberdeen is a bit more of a goldfish bowl for players - interesting to see how he handles the extra attention and scrutiny. Link to comment

Let’s hope so. He's done his time - so I'm happy to accept him. Almost everyone deserves a second chance IMO. However, its the social media stuff and getting involved with fans, that concerns me.... as mentioned, he's going to be under more scrutiny as an Aberdeen player. Living in Aberdeen and playing for Aberdeen, he's going to attract more attention - if things start going badly, fans will mouth off to him and give him a hard time on social media. He needs to keep the head. Link to comment
