I do not know who to be pissed off at, the lad or AFC

[a don in oz]

Oh fucking hell. That is terrible news

[K-9]

No shock. Move down south, better training facilities, better players around him, progression through rank and different levels (lack of reserve league here) and more money. Sad but where we are right now.

[Jonty]

Balls.

Offered peanuts by all accounts, what do you expect?

[buchanskii]

 

Laughable

[a don in oz]

Definitely the lad. AFC can't go stupid with the money. He's obviously been lured with thoughts of not having to only buy pizza on Tuesday and even more bags of chocolate buttons.

 

Not happy Fraser. I hope you're sold straight up. Let's get some money for him.

How can you be unhappy with Fraser. He'll get at least 5 times more down South than Aberdeen will offer him?

[a don in oz]

Because he's 18 and has been given his start here and at the first chance when he can, he's jumping ship. That's why I can be unhappy with him. I don't expect forever and ever amen undying loyalty but the first opportunity fucking off syndrome is dismal.

When Chris Clark is on £2k a week and you're offered peanuts no wonder you're pissed off.

 

Cue the he's only 18 response....good enough, old enough

[dj_bollocks]

Disappointing...

[Crossbow]

No surprise - there is a real chance of him doing a Bebo however which is a shame as he is talented. But on the back of only a few good games there is a chance he'll get to the reserve squad of a championship or mebbe EPL side where he'll be brutalised down to the point where he makes no real progress - sadly the odds are back in Scotland in 3-4 years playing for St Johnstone. He's already had one spell out with injury having played only a handfull - mush too early for him - head turned by agents and current football kultur.

 

We should sell for as much filthy lucre as possible and get a sell on clause if possible.

When Chris Clark is on

[The Boofon]

He's shite anyway.

When Chris Clark is on

[MURRA]

suppose aberdeen fc have effectively lost at least

[vanderark14]

When Chris Clark is on

[rgudon]

onwards and upwards, if he thinks he can do better then good luck to him.

 

Or is he doing a Rooney....?

[Dynamo]

Read the entire comment eh?

 

 

Eh how could I have read that we posted at the same time?

[vanderark14]

if only it were that simple. our youth set up is what is supposed to get us money and a talented side. instead we see the best of that talent fuck off at even younger ages for peanuts

[Byrne Baby Byrne]

Fuck sake. Shambles. Would be interesting to know what kind of a deal he was offered but for him to want to leave and play at a higher level when he's only 18 is a bad call. Especially when he's not long broke into the team.

 

Who was the last young Scottish player to leave an SPL when a teenager and make the breakthrough? Steven Fletcher stayed and developed at Hibs and look at him now.

 

Bad call Fraser - very short sighted

Dont agree with you here at all. He's a far better player than Bebo ever was.

 

If Raheem Sterling is getting bigged up as the next big thing down South then why cant Fraser make an impact down there as well?

[Byrne Baby Byrne]

And why do we have so many promising youngsters from the youth development with such short contracts!!

[a don in oz]

Eh how could I have read that we posted at the same time?

Aye well... your post appeared after mine and edit happened after mine so... that's how you could have read it.

Can we change the thread title so folk know what they're reading?

 

 

Suggestions?

 

Fraser fucking off for free.

[muttonhumper]

Some Dons fan, eh?

Happy to see us ripped off by an EPL side, despite developing him and giving him his chance.

 

Surely all he has to do is sign a contract with a clause to let him go for say...

[Dynamo]

Well I didn't see it.

Think they're actually limited to how long they're allowed to offer youth players aren't they? So it's one of those beautiful situations where (as I said in another thread) Bosman and the knock on effects have fucked up the game out of all recognition.

 

 

 

[Ingolfsson]

Pish poor state of affairs. I have no objection to bringing through young players and selling them on, but only if we can get a couple of seasons out of them. Otherwise, all we are is a factory for the rich cunts down south. For them, they can let these players fester in reserves or on loan and if they never kick a ball, the costs are less than insignificant to them.

 

Fraser has played about fifteen games and already his agent (anyone know who it is?) has him dreaming of Old Trafford already. It's premature.

 

Grimmer, Fyvie and now Fraser. FFS.

 

Anyway, I would play him as much as possible from now on. He's been our best player this season and we should just make the most of the boy. No boo boys or any of that pish, even though I am raging.
