We didn't. No more reason to chat about his wages. Terrific

Hope we didn't pay up his contract

[aberdeen1970]

Another one paid off then.

Pretty clear that we gave him something to encourage him out the door 

[Dad]

Good luck to him and all - but glad he's gone and to be replaced with someone terrific

We'll have probably had to pay the difference between his contract here and what'll get at St Mirren. Chuck in a free baseball bat as he'll be spending his weekends in Ferguslie Park now so a baseball bat will endear him to the locals.

“Contract terminated” 

[aberdeen1970]

Obviously needs a baseball bat. 

Complete wimp on a football pitch without one. Bullied by strikers all season.

[jamiesd]

Need Bates gone also. 

[aberdeen1970]

Goodwin must be approaching Eddie Turnbull numbers now for numbers of players out in his first summer.

Bates won't be going anywhere imo. Goodwin made quite a big thing in his interview with Hunter that he was played out of position so i certainly think he'll be given an opportunity under him to show what he can do on the right side of a pairing. 

It's unbelievable that only Bates, Ramirez and Watkins are still here from last summers complete shitshow. And i suspect 2 of those will still go. 

[Bournemouth Gee]

The January window may also prove important as we look to nail down that champions League place

FFS , he’s bang average.

Lewis better get his 2018 form back, cos this lad ain’t a Dons no1.

Should’ve paid the money for Hladky FFS

We may have to sign another LB anyway if MacKenzie is crocked from today.

His touch is too heavy for a professional footballer and he's too slow to play as an attacking left back. 

Good tackler though.

His body positioning is all to fuck. Big useless teuchter. 

I'm in this camp.

Mackenzie isn't of the required standard, and my biggest bug bear with him us what Milne points out. It really bugs me. Get rid if we can.

What a damning indictment of the shitshow that was last summers recruitment & the clubs decision to appoint a Head of Recruitment AFTER the transfer window,

It’s literally cost us millions.

Once the window (slams) shut, we may only have a maximum of 2 of the players signed last year. 
Watkins & Bates.

Aye, me too.

Doesn’t seem to have “football intelligence”, is hopeless going forward & gets caught out of position a lot. 

Stupid decision to give him a long contract - yet another Glass fuckfest. 

If needed, loan him out somewhere, bring in a new left back & have Ngwenya as back up.

Wouldn't be surprised if Watkins went later in the window either. 

Bates will survive I think, for the moment.

Maybe we are interested. Who knows. But the fact that he quote tweeted saying there's interest from Rangers and others in Europe I can't see him picking Aberdeen. Depends of course who the other interested teams are. But by all accounts we spent around 800k on Miovski. Can you see us spending another £1m on a striker? Goodwin did say the next striker would be a younger one and he's only 21 right enough. But aye fuck it sign them both up. ?

Well, they’re dead, so that doesn’t matter really…

Stats are incredible in fairness to him. But he's valued at £1m with the Huns and others interested. If we were going to sign anyone i'd want it to be his team-mate. Come on down Reuven Niemeijer. 

We'd make a substantial profit on a £1M investment would be my call..(referring to the striker). Great we're finally targetting the right leagues.

Aye a move to another club for nothing…instead of asking for a fee

[Tord31]

So clearly Goodwin was on about binning players when he said dont be surprised if another 2 or 3 go this summer (and not player sales as some folk were on about)

And let’s face it, both are not of the required standard.
Although, I suspect Watkins will see out his final year of his contract and probably Bates will leave next summer, still under contact. There’s only so many players we can afford to bin in a oner, both financially and for sheer squad numbers.

We likely would but we won't be getting him.

Yep, the Ramsey money has basically covered the failure to reach Europe this year. What a waste, Cormack should be covering that idiotic appointment out of his own pocket!

Watkins will go in next 11 months anyway thats for sure. 

Goodwin also mentioned that if things are working as the club wishes they'll only have 3 or 4 leaving per summer of which maybe 2 you move on in the January.

He's right. Can't have a massive turnover every summer.  

Best seasons under McInnes (2015-17) there were very few key changes in those summers.

Eddie's clear out is an important part of Aberdeen history and I like to mention it as often as I can.

So you'll just have to put up with it min and find something else to moan about.
