Stephen Hughes


Recommended Posts


This is phit Brown said last night about Naysmith, but also mentioned Hughes:-

 

"Stephen Hughes is on a short term deal until Christmas and i am hopeful of Gary being interested in that type of deal."

 

I thought he signed a 2.5 yr deal last January???

 

The doddery old fucker is wrong - He did sign on for 2 and a half years.

There was chat about Hughes being on a shorter deal than thought last season too.

 

STEPHEN Hughes has set his sights on a top-six finish after completing his move to Aberdeen today.

 

The former Rangers midfielder, 29, has joined as a free agent after leaving Motherwell earlier this month, signing a two-and-a-half-year deal at Pittodrie

I think he simply meant to say Gavin Rae, no?

No...Gavin Rae was given an 18 month deal...so not really short term for a player in his mid 30's...about 12 months too long...what he was probably getting confused with was the deal Anderson signed where he was signed to the end of last season to prove himself...they've both got blond hair and to an auld mannie could be mistaken for each other

Good to see we're signing players with ambition, though.

To be fair Kelt, he signed in January when we were probably languishing in 9th or even worse!

It is not a reference to this coming season.

Possibly... though if you were to ask the club about the coming season, Top Six would likely be the battle cry.

 

After 3 seasons of 9th place I guess we take what we can get.

Again, not so.

George Yule was quoted as saying that some might see top 6 as a target, he basically said it should be a given for Aberdeen.
