We get offered no more than £4m from English or German clubs for Ramsay with add ons, but the Hun offers us £6m, with the same add ons. Should we deal? I wouldn’t sell them the cure for cancer. Fuck the hun bastards. Link to comment

No chance, they make a decent profit which keeps them afloat and they sign Ramsay which make us weaker and them stronger. FTH Link to comment

We should never sell to another Scottish club any player with potential. Look at John McGinn, if he went to Celtic, the transfer cap on him if he was sold on would be £10m, if Villa decided to cash in on him, he's go for £30m at least. If any Scottish club comes in for any of our players, they should play a premium. Link to comment
aberdeen1970 Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 Any request to sign Ramsay by the Huns should be met with a swift kick in the balls and the rapid insertion of the loving cup up the requesting official's arse. Link to comment

Cash wise he was brilliant bit of business by the club, but footballing wise well up there with one of the worst ever footballers to play for us, and god only knows there are numerous contenders for that accolade but donkey cosgrove would get my vote for that accolade every day of the week. If Birmingham try to sell him now they will be lucky to get the £20k that we paid for him, which was still way too much. 1 Link to comment
ThomohawkKid Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 Aw cumon lads, Cosgrove was great at the time, 20+ of limited service two seasons in a row. We knew he was limited and sold him for a value he won’t recoup. Nothing to be bitter about. 4 Link to comment
YorkDon Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 We’re being harsh on Cosgrove.To put him up there with the worst we’ve had is laughable. How many seasons did Dazzler Mackie play for us and struggle to get double figures, never mind 20+ a season? We luckily had Cosgrove when he hit an uncharacteristic extended purple patch.I wish the lad nothing but luck with his career, but his best days are likely to have been with us. 1 Link to comment
aberdeen1970 Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 McInnes built his last team around Cosgrove which got the best out of Cosgrove's assets but was detrimental to our overall playing style. Cosgrove had a pretty good 18 month goal scoring run in the middle of his spell here though to be fair to him. Link to comment

People are so dramatic when players aren't ripping it up constantly. Longstaff isn't a bad footballer, he came to the wrong club at the wrong time. Jenks isn't a bad footballer, this is his first ever loan in mannies fitba' and I think Aberdeen with the demands etc will be quite challenging as far as that goes. Austin Samuels, is a bad footballer, though. Link to comment
Guest Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 Re McGrandles, a player in good form in League 1 reaching the peak of his playing powers, is a player we should definitely be looking at. We aren't going to get guys playing well every week in the English Champ. Link to comment
aberdeen1970 Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 There's always late developers but at 26 he's never played a game in the top division in Scotland and has only one appearance at Championship level in England. Everything else has been Championship in Scotland and League One/Two in England. Link to comment

RED_JOHN Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 This window will be a disaster if we are chasing the likes of McGrandles. I was hoping we would start delving into other markets to try our luck rather than the old tried, tested and failed English guffy league one we constantly troll. Time to broaden our horizons or we are wasting a great opportunity to improve. 2 Link to comment

Sounds like a typical shite signing we have made for aslong as I can remember and we wonder why we can’t compete. Ironically I have a Lincoln fan in a group chat. Said he’s a steady player but don’t get excited. Already knew that without even asking though. 1 Link to comment

It sounds like Considine is back training, so maybe they’re happy to go with McKenzie and Considine as CH cover, else the loon from Hamilton comes in Link to comment

Didn’t fit into Glass’ preference for defenders being comfortable playing out from the back. No better a stopper than big Ash. Heard it mentioned on various podcasts that he was actually a McInnes signing but that can’t be right, as he knew he was tatties over a year ago. Best for all concerned if he fucks off for good Link to comment

One a norwegian u21 international that has 2 goals in 3 caps. The other a very highly rated player. Now of course we don't know if they will turn out to be good but they are looking outwith the UK for signings and trying to get better value for the money they can shell out. Keep hearing oh it's not easy with work permits etc. They don't seem to have a problem with these 2 so i'm not buying that. If we continue to just look in the UK i just fear we'll end up paying over the odds for average players. Link to comment
