@Ten Caat is this true?

Haven't had an agent as my neighbour for quite some time now.

If WW says he's read it I'd believe him

You and I will just have to agree to disagree there.  You need at least two good players for every position because they will push each other to excel, plus we need to cover for suspensions and injuries.  A player who knows he has no competition knows he doesn't have to fight for his place. 

Goalie isn’t like outfield tho where you do need two for each as you rest as the season goes on. Goalies are generally undroppable unless they are horrendous. 

Plenty teams only go with one really good goalie and an average back up who hardly plays. Be better of letting Lewis go and instead of signing hladky getting one really good keeper in with 3 quarter of the wages of both put together.

Like I said, we'll have to agree to disagree.

Everybody needs competition, plus you never know what'll happen.

Every decent team in a decent league needs two quality goalies.

Lewis is more than capable and for me still deserves to be number one. Any keeper playing behind that back line last year would have struggled. The hesitancy of the central pairing, the initial high pressing full backs Glass persisted with which left the defence hopelessly exposed and basic errors all left Lewis basically fucked. 

Get a settled back 4, a competent centre half pairing and Joe will be back to his best in no time.

The mistakes and inability to save a shot aren’t his only problems tho, he couldn’t start a counterattack if his life depended on it and with Goodwin wanting to play with urgency Lewis and his dithering is not a good fit

There are very few clubs that pay 2 goalies a similar wage, maybe Chelsea? 

Even at like man utd/Liverpool, de gea earns 250k Allison 200k and there back ups are 5 figures, maybe 100k for Henderson. Mcgregor and Hart paid alot more than bain and mclaughlin. 

We just need a decent cerny type back up IMO. Woods was fucking wank.

Where did you read that?  

Did you manage to get access to @Ten Caat’s top secret dossier?

This is where I check players wages. Obviously never gonna be 100% accurate but think its the closest you will find.

You've been sucking yer soul through the glass bbq if you think st Mirren will cover 75% oh his wages 

They could cover £4,400 pw last season for Ronan from Wolves.

Edit - Scrub that, think that was his actual wage he was getting Wolves. No idea what St Mirren covered.

LOL. Lewis was horrendous last season he got dropped a few times but Gary Woods was so shit Lewis got the gloves back a game later ?

If Gallagher goes that leaves Watkins and Ramirez  as the only signings remaining from our summer 2021 window.

Gallagher and Watkins are arguably McInnes signings, so that would leave Ramirez as Glass's only summer signing left, and I suspect he'll be gone pretty soon.

Bates & Vinny were also Glass singings weren’t they?

No, but they are Glass signings.

Gallagher must of been tied up when Dalek was still here. Don’t think Glass got him.

£5,500k per week I read, it won’t be far away from that. 

Put it towards someone else further up the pitch. 

Fine in theory but you can't just rip up a contract and use the money somewhere else.

I don't think we would have had problems in defence last season had mcinnes still been around....

Well we clearly wouldn't be better off if we had to pay him off and then replace him.

Be as well keep him as the backup and sign the "replacement" and let them compete for it.

True, we’ll probably end up paying the difference for 12 months.

About £2,500-£3000 per week

There is a debate if its even worth doing that.

Possibly. We’d have scored far less goals though

How do you work that one out? He signed for us at the end of august last year. 
 

he was a lazy glass signing

Hearing a GK signing today fellas

Once again we will not be signing any players before Monday. We made a move for Robbie McCrorie yesterday and he is now our number 1 GK target as things have moved too slowly with Ipswich. From what I have heard Goodwin has had a conversation with McCrorie and believes he is exactly the type of player he wants at the club. We all know Goodwin has talked about getting players in with the right character first and foremost, and we all know how highly he regards his brother Ross. Robbie McCrorie will be an Aberdeen player next season.

Which means him & Ross won’t be attending anymore hun games then.

I bloody love wages chat 

[Sonoftherock]

NO MORE HUNS!

[aberdeen1970]

Aye I'm against having both McCrories here. One is enough. 

Couldn't stand the Rossco and Robco pish that we'd have to listen to for a start.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen Robbie McCrorie play a first team game, & he’s 24. 
Would he be good enough to be our no1, because we do need one.

For once, we have the cash to offer Ipswich a compromise of £200k to get Hladky, who is good enough, & young enough to be no1 for the next 3-4 years.

Just get it done.

Did Lewis not get dropped only once the other time did he not have covid.

Mcrorie had a decent spell at livingston a couple of seasons ago and also played well keeping a clean shear against the other bigoted brother last season.

I think he would be a better long term option than hladky and we could use that money in getting in a really good attacking midfielder

Lewis was pish last season and if we'd had a decent back up we would have been in a better place. One of the many reasons why Glass lost his job was by being lazy and offering Woods a 2 year deal. Goodwin isn't going to take the same risk. 

A couple of decent games towards the end of the season doesn't necessarily mean he's back to peak Lewis. His form has been very inconsistent over the last 2 years. 

We need a better keeper now if we are to progress imo.

You love the Hun players min. 

 

Never trust a Hun, they'll always let you down in the end.
