I'd love this to happen purely for the comedy of one of the Ferguson clan taking Italian lessons. "ok Lewis, tell me the Italian for an idiot" ....."errr is it il fuddio?" However surely it can't be true that we'd accept this. If they were obligated to buy him at the end of the loan why not just buy him now? Two things strike me..........either there are some "get out" clauses that mean it isn't an obligation to buy at all ( eg if he snaps his cruciate.......or even just the club can veto it if they get relegated)........or they're in deep financial trouble and just cannot afford a fee right now.....although surely we'd be aware of this and wouldn't tolerate risking it.

Bingo. That's exactly what the story is reporting. They're only obligated to buy if they stay up. Link to comment

If you gamble then it’s up to him to want to get fit and earn his money Has he played for Celtic and Dundee already this season? Not sure of the rules but thought two clubs was as many as you could play for. Link to comment
Hoofball Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 Wouldn’t under any circumstances trust an Italian loan deal. Those Italians are dodgy as fuck when it comes to loan deals, they constantly mug any team off they loan a player from. Tell them to stump up the cash to buy Ferguson or fuck off 1 Link to comment

Bournemouth Gee Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 Ferguson is our player. Lets show some ambition. Link to comment
aberdeen1970 Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 Any loan to buy deal dependent on promotion or relegation needs to be consigned to the bin. Either buy him now or come back and buy him in the summer once you know which division you are playing in. Or fuck off and stop wasting everyone's time. 1 Link to comment

The Gee Man Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 As we always prove 2 years suddenly dwindles away and it’s a pre contract and the rubbish Jack/Wright/Hedges stand off! Get him selt 1 Link to comment

Joking aside, when was the last transfer window when the majority thought we’d had a good window? My memory is a bit hazy as to when we signed players. I remember everyone being delighted with the window in 2017. This place was buzzing when we brought in: Maynard, Arnason, Stewart, Tansey, May, Ball, GMS and Christie. I've ordered them by how disappointing they were. Link to comment
shooftahmooftah Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 This window is fantastic , can’t keep up with all the comings and going’s. Cormack and Glass and the Girl Guides they have for scouts are doing a great job. Link to comment

Tord31 Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 I'd go for the deal. £3.5M if you stay up but call it £1.5M and send him back to the Dons if you go down. Locks in the £3.5M which is above what I thought we'd be getting Link to comment

If Cagliari went down I wouldn't want to risk that happening and us getting the player back but with £0 to show for us being without him for 6 months Link to comment
ShinnieFGS Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 I'd like to think Cormack & Co would be more savvy than to accept a deal like the one Cagliari are supposedly offering. Ferguson to Watford for £4mil once they're relegated from the EPL. Thank you for your service and goodbye. Link to comment
Don_Corleone Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 Has someone just made this up, or is this based on genuine information? I've no idea how good / bad Seria A is these days but Ferguson isn't exactly the type of player you'd think would be suited to foreign football. That said, I don't really care where he ends up - if we get an offer of £3m or more I'd accept it. The guy has been wanting away for at least a year now. He's served us well, and that would be a decent price for him I think. Link to comment
