No chance. 
He’s not good enough to play midfield for Scotland.

Besides, fuck playing for Scotland & having to miss games for the Dons. 

Why would he play midfield for Scotland when Ten Caat says he definitely wants to play centre half. Ten Caat in making things up since forever.

McCrorie has NEVER played left back. Ever.

Excellent extension.

Will also be the next captain. 

[Blantyredon]

We’re are you seeing he’s signed a contract extension

or am I being wooshed ??‍♂️

It's in the EE now.

[Blantyredon]

Excellent not on club website yet 

[Don_Corleone]

Hope Lewis and Brown are gone in the summer and McCrorie is captain. No-one else who's even remotely captain material (think Ferguson will be gone in the summer too). McCrorie has made the odd mistake, but can never doubt his attitude, never shirks a header or tackle, all action type player who can inspire others. He captained Scotland U21s for a couple of years I think. 

[PondHopper]

Good news. He and CB are our midfielders next year

[Blantyredon]

Don’t get why you want Ferguson gone?

[Bomber]

Him and Hopefully Polvara would make a proper athletic Midfield with wee Conor  pulling the strings.

[Ke1t]

Very much hope Polvara can make the step up, because it is a big step up for him.

He definitely seems to have some ability, but sometimes that's not enough in itself.

Big, strong lad. Though. Hopefully he's the one who'll sort out the likes of Sibbald and Van Veen's antics.

Would be nice to see one Aberdeen player who isnt scared to get in their faces.

He won’t sign a new contract, so it’s much better to sell for 2-3 million than let him walk for nothing

Club have confirmed it this evening 

[Parklife]

A bizarre extension given he still have over 2 years left on his deal. Given what we've seen from him, I doubt he's ever likely to command a big fee in a sale, so I don't see the need to get him tied up on such a long deal. 

I get the importance of continuity and I do think he's a decent player. However I wouldn't be tying ourselves in to such a long deal.

I think the reasoning is he's starting to make a bit of a name for himself. Clubs in the second tier of English football would def risk paying a half decent fee for him should this continue. 

Maybe you're right, Hanz. I just can't say he's ever struck me as someone who'd make us any dosh, especially given his previous spell down south wasn't that successful. 

Hopefully he kicks on under Goodwin though and proves me wrong. 

[Crashnyploshnit]

Just watched his interview on Red TV. Clearly loves playing for the club. Likeable lad. Perhaps our next Captain come the summer?

[1903Fitba]

One of the 4-5 decent players we have actually worth keeping. 
 

Still fairly young and I’d imagine he was on an average wage before this one. Worth resigning. Good business. 

[Byrne Baby Byrne]

Tying a highly rated 24 year old down for 4 years is maybe the most sensible business there is

Jim Goodwin described him as “future captain material”.

How far in the future who knows?

Assuming Brown goes in the summer, then Ross McCrorie would be front of the queue to be new captain I think.

Likewise I hope Polvara is a player. We could certainly use one or two big brutes in the team, especially against the likes of Motherwell and Hearts where we have been regularly bullied. 

The young loon Ryan Duncan scored for Peterhead again tonight. I think that's 2 in 8 for him now. He looks like a big lad. I've not seen him play, but maybe someone on the forum has watched the blue toon this season and can comment. Would be great to see another youngster come through the ranks.

Duncan is very talented. More a Hedges type player.

That's really encouraging to hear. I hope he makes it. More creativity in the team would be welcome and it's great seeing young loons come through the youth system. Barron has been a breath of fresh air and his loan at Kelty didn't do him any harm. Hopefully we see something similar with Duncan.

[pocrawred]

Maybe JG has asked players if they will extend contracts and young Fergie says, sod that Jimbo. Sell me in the summer.

Hope so

I think the new deal has been struck to provide McCrorie with a release clause. 

[ABERDEENROWIE1903]

Good bit of business

Lets just get him playing in a position that suits him then  we get the best out of him

Pretty negative view that ? had it been Lewis Ferguson I would be inclined to think this & likely he will be next for more wages but with release clause (official this time)

Maybe it was done for both parties. Our benefit to tie him down for longer & his bringing him more in line with other top earners (& with view to making him captain in future) imagine training every day knowing that wage thief Gallagher is joint second highest earner at the club? & was earning £1700 a week more than him

Matty Longstaff.....jeeez (although the site does seem to be a bit of a shambles).

[RED_JOHN]

I couldn’t care less what the players are earning, I only judge them on how they perform on the pitch.
