Derek Young Wants To Remain A Don

And Peter Sutcliffe no doubt wants a weekend release once in a while so he can go pan some prossies heids in.... but some things, however much you want them, just shouldn't be allowed to happen.

 

I'm not saying Derek Young staying at Pittodrie is on a par with Peter Sutcliffe smashing in the heids of hoors with a peen-ba hemmer.... I'm suggesting it might be worse.

 

Certainly from a footballing sense it is, I doubt many could argue.

[NPRC]

He's one of the few out of contract players I want us to keep on. Gan yersel' Derek!

Thanks for your service Derek.

He's on a meager wage & gives 100% for it when he gets his chance.

He knows he's only a squad/back up player & accepts this although he still tries 100% to get a game whenever he can.

He is a reliable fall back in emergencies & while a lot will say give his wage to youth, I can see the argument for this but you do still need the odd back up player that is willing to accept small wage & has years of experience & he fits the bill.

Don't get me wrong, I nearly cried when we signed him again but he has surprised me since his return & especially in his first season back with us.

He's professional & actually (believe it or not) a good influence for our youth teamers (a lot more so than most of our players) so I'd say give him another deal, one or two years on the same or lesser wage & if he's happy to take a little less then all the better.

 

Same could also be said for Mackie (& I am far from a fan of him also)

[zig-a-zig-ah]

Average to say the least.

 

Depends on what salary he's on.

 

If he's happy to accept 300 quid a week then I'd keep him another year or two as backup // general banter in the dressing room.

[Liam]

would just keep him purely for morale and banter. what a guy

No he doesn't!

 

EDIT: And it would have been great for him to use his years of experience on Sunday instead of sliding in for no reason in the box.

Eh, yes he obviously does cos otherwise he'd be wanting away to any other smaller club so as to guarantee regular first team games.

 

He is happy to stay here try to fight for regular games but accepts the fact that he will only be getting bit parts because we will & should have better players in ahead of him.

 

& yeah, it's his fault we lost on Sun & that he had to be played at CH

He hated McGhee because said he was back up at best. How is that accepting it?

 

And if you could point out where I said it was his fault we lost that'd be fantastic. There was no need for him to slide in as he did, you don't need to be a neurologist to figure that one out. Or a centre half for that matter.

[Pash]

I want new roller-skates but I'm not getting them.

 

Cheers Derek. If you want to be at Pittodrie next season buy a season ticket.

Thanks for your service Derek.

He is a reliable fall back in emergencies

He is anything but, as our two semi finals this season will testify. A couple of months ago I said he should never kick another ball after his ludicrous defending, and his redonkylous hand ball. On Sunday his stupid sliding "tackle", was amateur defending, at best. Not good enough for my club. He is maybe in a small wage but he is on a small wage for a reason. He's sh*te. Promote youth not mediocrity.

[Jazzer_Bett]

Where is that complete tool Razor?

 

This should be interestIng.

[StandFree1982]

Having sh*te like young, mackie, foster and diamond was one of the main reasons for this slump! Players who try hard yes, players with ability? not in the slightest.

 

At Aberdeen we need both, and we shouldnt settle for anything less.

[Macca]

Can't believe people want to justify giving him another contract because he's a "grafter". He is no-where near good enough (remembering he wasn't even good enough for Partick). I would give 100% for Aberdeen, yet I don't get a contract, and even I know not to dive in a tackle in the box whilst shielding the player away from the goal. I'd much rather have a youth team player as "back up".

 

See also Mackie, I only wish his contract was up at the end of the season.

[forbesz1903]

Would definately keep. is good to have about the place and is a good organsier.

[Macca]

Ok Jimmy.

 

By organiser you mean telling other people what to do because he isn't capable himself? I'd rather have someone in there who was capable.

[StandFree1982]

Maybe he keeps things clean and tidy, bit like a woman. Maybe we could keep him as a secretary or Willies PR?

[Liam]

with it looking more and more likely that zander is gone in the summer, and i also think hartley will go, surely Young would be offered the captains armband as an incentive to stay?

This is surely an Aberdeen player (or ex-player) on the wind-up!

 

Maybe even Deeko himself?!

[beer gut]

Young will be 31 in May. He is not a youngster anymore. He is not a footballer and never will be. I don't care if he tries in every game he simply isn't good enough.

 

Bye Bye Young

[Stoney]

Young has a lot of good qualities that would make a good captain.

 

Unfotunatley footballing ability is not one of them

[Liam]

id hope even the thickest of the thick would be able to see the guys stirring it

 

No "stirring" im afraid.

 

I just like Derek Young as a player.

 

[RUL]

Must be taking the piss.

[Pash]

id hope even the thickest of the thick would be able to see the guys stirring it

Nah you don't say.

[Liam]

Must be taking the piss.

 

why must that be?

 

i never stated he was a good player. If we keep him on a low wage (which he is already on) then i think he is a good back-up to have when players get injured.

[Stoney]

Wee sidenote that derek young has even scored more aberdeen goals than chris maguire................Worrying.

[Dandyjam]

so why have "deek young for scotland" as your sig?

 

horrible, horrible attempt at fishing

 

back to school son

 

Coming from the guy who thought Lee Miller was the best thing since sliced bread!

And Peter Sutcliffe no doubt wants a weekend release once in a while so he can go pan some prossies heids in.... but some things, however much you want them, just shouldn't be allowed to happen.

 

I'm not saying Derek Young staying at Pittodrie is on a par with Peter Sutcliffe smashing in the heids of hoors with a peen-ba hemmer.... I'm suggesting it might be worse.

He will be relatively cheap and knows he will be a squad player. He never really gave anything less than his best for us so I wouldn't be unhappy if he stayed.

[Tord31]

Sure I'd be happy enough for him to stay if he was getting paid next to nothing but I very much doubt that is the case given he has been at the dons for four years now.
