Seemingly saying he may sign a new deal, still don't see it happening, soon as a player says they are "keeping their options open" it normally ends one way

[reekie_dock]

He just doesn’t want to get any shit off fans, he’s not staying 

[Simosmashed my knee]

No chance he will sign another contract with us away in January window for £250K

[RED_JOHN]

He might wait and see how ambitious we are in the transfer window and take that into consideration.

Its a very wishy washy response to whatever question was put to him

“Yes. I can’t rule it out but that’s obviously between the club and my agent to work things through and go from there.” 

"My whole focus is here at the moment until I’m told otherwise that a bid’s been accepted or anything else."

“Or a contract is not going to be offered or whatnot.”

Nowhere in his comments has he stated he'd want to or like to stay. If he was happy here his comments would have been less cantered around his agent and finding the best possible payday. I don't blame him for seeking the money, but he's clearly not wanting to hang around here if literally anything else crops up

[RED_JOHN]

Booh the fucker if he isn’t staying. It’s about time the booing was making an appearance again. We are too nice as fans nowadays.

[Byrne Baby Byrne]

He's a good player but Aberdeen have been fucking shite the entire time he's been here so he can't be doing that much

I'm officially opening my account with the "he was shite anyway" attitude

[Poodler]

How far down the football pyramid do agents go? Must be shite being a football agent for players of like Scottish div 2 quality.

Only go for a fee if Blackburn go on a long losing streak between now and January and find themselves in relegation difficulties. If they're just the usual mid table mediocrity, they'll just sign him on a pre-contract and wait till summer. 

Presumably Middlesbrough, having sacked Warnock , will no longer be interested

[Dynamo]

Am I the only one who thinks he's massively over rated?

[davieb]

Get him to fuck, he's done nothing to suggest he merits a new contract, he's continually injured and he's clearly stringing us along.

Looks like he should be a good player but doesn't deliver nearly often enough.

That sums him up. He has ability but has the heart of a mouse. Very very one footed as a previous poster said.

[Bournemouth Gee]

Fairly obvious that he is off. Also fairly obvious that we have a big, big rebuild of our attacking players in the 2 transfer windows.

Can we do better than Hedges? Hopefully yes. I'd rather he stayed though, and added more quality to replace the likes of Jenks, McGinn, Samuels

 

[The Gee Man]

I can’t rule it out!! Straight from the Rat and Wright playbook, do us a favour Ryan grow a pair and just say you are leaving for triple the money, you ain’t even Scottish so we won’t pan you for it!! If you string this shit out till last week of season we will

[Byrne Baby Byrne]

Hedges was a downgrade on GMS who was a downgrade on Hayes. I fear to imagine who Hedges replacement will be.... probably a central midfielder playing out of position

McLennan is already growing his hair and experimenting with a head band 

[Dave Bus]

Hedges isn’t that good. It’s just we’ve become totally reliant on him for attacking midfield quality, about the only creative player in the squad. Gone are the days where we’d have 3 of them behind a striker in prime mcginn hayes and a Christie or a Maddison

Quote

 

"Glass faces something of a dilemma with this situation. He remarked in the summer that the club would move on quickly from any signing targets that were on the fence about a move to Pittodrie.

"It's a bold approach to take but surely one that should also be applied to players already at the club."

 

Some fair points in this article, including the above: https://www.footballscotland.co.uk/spfl/scottish-premiership/aberdeen-stephen-glass-should-list-22111158

[Granite95]

For me I'd take money in January if we can for HEdges, he clearly doesn't want to stay as per his comments in the media.

Get some cash and look to find a suitable replacement if possible in January

[aberdeen1970]

Pretty pointless article. 

If Hedges is leaving then we should be looking at getting a replacement in, ideally in January, was the jist of it. 

Nae rocket science is it?

[Torry Tosser]

Middlesbrough in the mix now.

No.

He doesn't deliver enough by way of assists or goals and is always one game away from being injured again.

He'll leave and be forgotten about, and we can only hope that we'll replace him with better.

Can we not just play Ramsey further forward and actually source a decent right back?

Hernandez should be due back from his loan soon is he not? MLS have just had their play offs so their season must be nearly done. The fact he has been in and out of their team i find it unlikely they'll buy him.

United made the play offs so could be still there till mid December, that is when loan will technically end and he would likely get. Month off and be with us mid January onwards, unless the loan was extended

As you say get him sold and hopefully use the cash to re invest in the next 2 fergusons

Amuses me when folk think Scotland is a hot bed of talent and players like Ferguson are appearing all the time. 

Finding them and agreeing terms before another team comes in is a huge challenge. But the biggest challenge is when they don't actually exist

Ferguson has been fucking piss for ages so plenty would fill his current talent
