Which is the hardest bit sometimes as the club might only get one acceptable offer from a club that you don't really fancy. But aye, the guaranteed extra money for the lad for a few years to help set him up will obviously feature highly in their thoughts. 1 Link to comment

No idea - but I doubt it. & no idea, but possibly if we get a good offer with add ons (as we have to). Link to comment
fine-n-dandy Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 With Glass as manager & the state of how the club has been managed this past two windows contributing to our continued decline is not exactly a great incentive to commit to staying at Aberdeen. Damn sure I would happily move on for decent cash rather than stay under the management of a complete novice such as Glass & his puppeteer chairman playing fantasy football as a hobby Link to comment

fine-n-dandy Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 He’s going to Man Utd but remaining on loan until Summer. Guaranteed. 100% Hopefully they can throw in another couple of loans also to sweeten the deal & players he will be playing alongside later Link to comment

RED_JOHN Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 Our players who can command a decent fee (Ramsay and Ferguson) look unlikely to be sold, which in turn will be a major problem concerning what we bring in. That’s the reality of the situation. Link to comment

dj_bollocks Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 Would happily offload Ferguson & Ramsay this or next window with a nice £10 million transfer kitty (plus future add ons) if we knew we could spend it wisely. With McGinn off we've got one less 30+ year old player but still too many... The McInnes era youngsters that haven't come on yet or aren't likely to - Kennedy, Maclennan, Campbell etc And the likes of Gallagher & JET who really have shown they're not up to it here... https://imgflip.com/i/63awfg 1 Link to comment

Cambridge Red Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 I think unless Leeds or Watford make an outrageously good offer tomorrow we should just stay calm and keep him. He's got two and a half years left on his contract and barring injury I can only see him getting better and becoming more valuable. If we do manage to hold on to him I would love to see him playing as a winger with someone else taking over at fullback. It's very obvious the lad likes to run up the park and more importantly he's good at it. 2 Link to comment

His crossing is first rate and might add goals to his game by being closer to the opponents box more regularly, only problem is we haven’t another right black to slot in and fuck ojo playing there Link to comment

I think if we have a proper clearout of the dross/wage thief's we've got the nucleus of a good young team. Have been encouraged by the two young lads we've added so far this window. Think it would be good if we could try and get Zander Clark on a pre contract as I think it would make us a bit more composed and solid at the back. Link to comment

Could be wrong but surprised if the Leeds press would bother writing a long article today for no reason Link to comment

Your few but consistently powerful words on the subject suggests you either know him or are ITK? I hope he stays as long as possible, it’s our gain from a footballing and ultimately financial perspective when the inevitability of the lad moving on comes to fruition. Link to comment
JakieBastard Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 The club might be saying the right things and the player himself might want to stay. But if we get a bid in today which meets our valuation then he'll be away Link to comment

fine-n-dandy Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 It’s in our interest to not sell (at all) this window & keep him until summer. Yes there is risk of injury. It’s in buying clubs interest to buy him now (even with loan back) as he will be cheaper. His price is only going up. So unless a great fee + loan back is offered then any & all clubs can fk off. Stick you £3-4m shite rite up yer pipes. Link to comment

I can see Consi and Hayes signing one year deals in the next month or two, and decisions on Jenks, McGeouch and Ojo being the only three that drag on to April/May. Best guess would be those three all leave. Link to comment

He'll be in League One next season (or in the Championship not getting a game). Link to comment
