Fraser Signs for Bournemouth

hay fuck face why am I in the roid club?

Neigh idea

[RTYD]

It's not so much the fact that Fraser may or may not want to move on at this stage rather than the way it appears to be being engineered by either him or more likely his representative.

 

In the Jess interview that Kelt posted up a while back he admitted that he had the opportunity to move to Italy on a Bosman and presumably pick up a big wedge for doing so but he turned it down as he wanted to ensure that AFC got a fee for him to "thank" the club for all they had done for him in his career.

 

Now if Fraser was to sign a two/three year deal tomorrow and then on the 1st of January move to any other club for a six figure fee with a sell on clause, then I would wave him goodbye with best wishes. It's the fact that it appears that it's being worked ou in a way where the club will get a "minimal" fee at the end of the day that smacks of ungrateful ness from the boy and that's what rubs more than anything.

 

If he does go at the end of the day then fair play, leave on a free and my attitude to him would be indifference, sort it out so that AFC get's a decent fee then you leave with my best wishes and my respect.

It's Celtic that have tapped him up.

 

They will offer us a fee and McCourt in January to sign him.

 

I don't expect it will be much more than

I'll give you until 5pm today to not get in to any bother and I'll consider you rehabilitated and free to leave the Roid Club.

Did Ando not donate his

I thought it was 100k. Which is still incredible. If I had the chance of 100k straight into my bank or giving it to AFC I know what I'd do!

 

Ando

[Stoney]

fuck me, hes on more than £400 a week now!

 

sooner that rumour dies the better.

 

none of the u20s are on less than 500[/ quote]

 

Id be very surprised if this is true?

 

16, 17 & 18 year olds earning more than seasoned pros at other SPL teams?

 

Sorry im not buying it!

[rgudon]

Was it really that much? makes the transfer look a hell of a better than the 690k that went through the accounts from Sunderland and closer to the million in the press

 

I have no idea how much it really was but I seem to remember that figure being quoted at the time...

[rgudon]

16 yr old's signing pro for the dons over 10 years ago were on

[Stoney]

And were getting

[stand_free]

We have 18 players listed in our under 20 team just now (Not including fraser, smith etc)

 

That would work out at just under 500K per year,

 

Over 10% of our total wage bill on players who will largly never feature in a first team game.

 

Sorry not believing it without seeing some evidence.

He was definitely offered

[a don in oz]

He was definitely offered £400, don't know about bonuses etc, he was on £250 before. He DOESN'T want to leave.

 

What you implying by that? His agent couldn't force him to. Only one that could - at his age - would be his family, or the club?

[King Street Loon]

What a shambles this truly is.

 

Very poorly handled by all parties.

My post came straight from his Mother.

[RUL]

So he's currently rejected a contract, which is not about the money but also he doesn't want to leave, did she tell you why he turned down the contract then?

Ah right. Well even if so, we all know how parents are wont to bad mouth their children to other people, especially when talking about their career.

 

 

Oh wait a minute, no they aren't.

It is about the money, simple as.

[King Street Loon]

Is he even still injured or has he just been omitted from the squads

[Dynamo]

We sure could use him anyway...

[Redstar]

We sure could use him anyway...

Why the fu*k would Fraser even contemplate putting any future move in jeopardy by doing any more than just turning up (if selected)?

AFC have made their stance known with the ridiculous £400 a week offer...fu*king embarrassing...Not only do they sack a club legend and the man responsible for Fraser and others who have emerged from the youth programme...they double the pain by turning AFC into a standing joke when one of the products from the youth system impresses by living up to Aberdonian stereo- type by offering the poor cu*t Council workers money...Fu*king Hell!

I'd turn down
