TheRock Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 Would be interested to know the wages bill currently vs last season. We saw in the figures a week or two ago, the wage bill went up last season compared to the season before but I felt like at the start of this season maybe the players coming in wouldn't be overall costing as much as the ones that left. And as such, there's still some slack in the budget that would be utilised in January (and that's before a few folk could possibly be moved on, although don't know how realistic that is). But...could be wildly wrong and maybe we are already spending more than last season. But wouldn't mind knowing. Link to comment

Too many collecting what I'd assume was a decent wage and not even contributing at all, and struggling to make match day squads. GleesonTanseyForrester McInnes' really needs to up his game in the transfer market, the list of outgoing vs incoming the last two years is shocking, and it's little wonder we find ourselves in the bottom 6. 2 Link to comment
RUL Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 The problem will be getting any suitors for those 3 as they have played so little football. Link to comment
StandFree1982 Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 I can't see us getting in another Midfielder until we've shipped at least 1 of those 3 mentioned above. I can see a comeback for Tansey and possibly Gleeson though, or at least a chance to prove themselves again. Forrester looks to have fucked it, not even getting anywhere near the squad and hardly had a sniff of game time. Link to comment
Tord31 Posted December 4, 2018 Author Share Posted December 4, 2018 I'll eat my hat if any of them play twice in a row for us. They'll be lucky to get one game. None of them are in the plans. Link to comment

Add Reynolds to that list well. If fit, I still don't think he'd be getting a game just now. Link to comment

Tord31 Posted December 7, 2018 Author Share Posted December 7, 2018 Waiting patiently for the GMS or Shinnie news. If it's not the elephant in the room now then it will be after the next couple of contract extensions. I'd imagine Considine for one will be tied up in the next few weeks to a one or two year extension as he's been one of our best players this season. As mentioned previously Lowe and Ball extensions also not out of the question in January. Link to comment

dazzy_deff Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 I think we’ll sign Ball on a permanent and probably Hoban to replace Reynolds (despite Hoban barely playing). Link to comment
RUL Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 Ball has said he wants to stay, I think he's done enough to earn a new contract and great that someone wants to sign a deal with us. Link to comment
Tord31 Posted December 7, 2018 Author Share Posted December 7, 2018 Yikes. He's had a couple of very good games recently but has had a fairly poor season. Beg to differ...... I think he's had a good year/season. 1 Link to comment
Tord31 Posted December 7, 2018 Author Share Posted December 7, 2018 I think we’ll sign Ball on a permanent and probably Hoban to replace Reynolds (despite Hoban barely playing). It's hard to imagine Hoban having a raft of offers to pick from so it might not be the worst idea but he doesn't look very clever at the moment with his three games - two of which he got injured in. Edit to say .... THREE of which he got injured in. Link to comment
RUL Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 There's no way we will sign Hoban. 1 Link to comment
Tord31 Posted December 7, 2018 Author Share Posted December 7, 2018 He might be a good player but if we have the power to terminate his loan in January then it's probably the best idea to do that. Given Watford announced they have the power to terminate it then you'd expect it's mutual. Link to comment
RAZOR Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 I think we’ll sign Ball on a permanent and probably Hoban to replace Reynolds (despite Hoban barely playing).Agree re Ball. Certainly seems to like it enough here. More than happy with him in the squad. Perfect player for 'game management' when you're 1-0 up with 15 minutes to go.

Given Watford announced they have the power to terminate it then you'd expect it's mutual. Feel sorry for Hoban. From what little I saw of him, he looked like a quality player. Injury record maybe suggests he's not cut out for a career in the game.... doubt there will be many queuing up to sign him. Link to comment
Sonoftherock Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 Would have hoped for longer, love the look of him and think he's a better prospect than Anderson That's him jinxed, like Gleeson, Forrester, Chidi and Wilson! 2 Link to comment
Tord31 Posted December 7, 2018 Author Share Posted December 7, 2018 Lol You didn't really, surely?You've spotted that one. Obviously sarcasm but we let him move into the last six months of his contract so he'd have been able to speak to other clubs if he wished. Link to comment
AllyDon Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 Yikes. He's had a couple of very good games recently but has had a fairly poor season.Not a Considine fan but would be happy to see him sign a new deal. Good cover in his preferred position of centre back as seen in the last two games. Pops up with a couple of goals each year and clearly wants to stay. Good cover for centre backs but not a left back (take note McIness). Link to comment
AllyDon Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 Would like to see GMS sign a new deal. One of our few forward options and feel he is beginning to bring a bit more consistency into his game. Loss of he goes. 1 Link to comment
aberdeen1970 Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 Ball will probably end up signing a permanent deal with us. An extension for Considine is virtually guaranteed. You'd think Shinnie being club captain would have signed a new deal by now. 1 Link to comment
AllyDon Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 Shinnie is our captain. If he comes out of the January transfer window and hasn't committed his future to us then I would want him to be stripped of the captaincy. If a captain can't committe to us then not a good example for our other players especially the younger ones. Might be a bit harsh but would want our captain to be someone who sets high personal and loyalty standards to our club. Link to comment
