Welcome to the MongoDome!

[Zander1903]

As I said, but picking cunt.....only 12hrs out lol

Wouldn't be surprised to see Hoban sign or complete his rehab with the Dons

Not a hope in hell of that happening. When we got Devlin in under similar circumstances he had done a fair bit of rehabilitation under his belt and had we been desperate, he could even have been pressed into action towards the later part of that season.

 

Hoban won't be ready to play until January at the earliest, if ever again. Not a cat's chance in hell we will be giving him a contract under those circumstances

[Ten Caat]

Hoban's also now stated that Watford are allowing him to use their facilities whilst he completes his recovery/rehab

[TheRock]

[PondHopper]

Im pro hoban. Better to work out some deal where he rehabs in aberdeen and starts getting the big checks when he's medically cleared.

 

I'd like to see Devlin, Hoban and some mckenna money used to bring in a third. Like a transfer for jack elliott

[Studebaker-90]

Thon butcher in Coronation Street?

 

[Tord31]

How many times now is that you have said that?

 

You're close to the BL

For that cheek we are delaying the GMS decision for another week - I hope you are happy with yourself.

[Sonoftherock]

I wonder when GMS will finally find enough time, out of his busy life, to review our contract offer?

 

The poor lad must be burnt out!  He's been constantly busy for about the last 6 months!

[Tord31]

He's clearly not desperate to sign for the Dons but also getting to be a bit intriguing that we continue to not announce as released/expired/goodbye etc. However I would note the same thing happened with Anthony Oconnor (announced as negotiating when others released and then no follow up yes/no announcement it was just forgotten about)

 

Reading between the lines the MLS thing has fallen through (or he's decided against it) and his agent is struggling to find a no brainer offer in Scotland or England

His no brainer is to stay at Aberdeen. He's obviously not got anything concrete to sign from anyone else, otherwise he'd be off.

So you think he's holding out, hoping something better will come along?  That's an extremely cynical point of view.

 

I'm sure it's as he's repeatedly said... he's just been very busy and hasn't had time to think about the offer yet.

[Tord31]

Still loadsa money to spend presuming the same budget as last season

 

Add Wage: Taylor, Main, Hedges, add back Dundee contribution Wright, add back Dunfermline contribution Anderson, pay rise Lewis, pay rise Logan

 

Remove Wage: Reynolds (but less United contribution), Shinnie, Halford, GMS, Lowe, Hoban, Stewart, Wilson and Ball

He's got acquired hydrocephalus. Makes things a bit more difficult.

Don't forget that Taylor is on 10k a week though.

[Tord31]

he'll be doing well if he's getting £2.5k this time

That's just India...

What you’re really saying is, you have no idea if we have a lot of wages to play with or not? But we’ll go with your assumption for now

[Tord31]

Budget will be same if we can match the dna and think they are up to 90% or so now. £4m for Fraser might plug a gap

Hehe yup, think we’ll do alright this summer, but waiting for the “star signings” is going to be a pain

Can't see Bournemouth selling Fraser for £16 million tbh

[Tord31]

£20M is the mooted first offer to be made by Arsenal

 

Bad news unfortunately due to the weather the GMS decision will be delayed. Date to be advised - please retain your tickets

[Tord31]

see ya later Sam Roscoe

 

and we are down to one.

* club holds option to extend by 1 year

[boboisared]

Was certain he'd be renewing.

[SupportmeansSUPPORT]

Thought he was very highly rated and a new renewal deal was agreed.

 

Would have been entitled to compensation I think so would hope we have done an agreement to have some sort of first option on him if he does well or if he is sold to someone else we get a big percentage.

[Tord31]

Ayr confirming Aberdeen were 'great to deal with' so possibly a very small fee or more likely a sell on clause if he moves to a bigger club in the next two years (including on a 'free' transfer in two years).

 

I dont think this is likely but could this be a make weight for Lawrence Shankland - he is not on a free transfer for a move within Scotland this summer (only cross border).

 

The comment that 'bla bla bla made this an easy decision for Aberdeen bla bla bla' is a bit random. This is not a loan......

Likely just what you've said. Easy to deal with in regards to compensation and likely a clause in there.

 

In comparison to Hamilton and Ferguson...

You're right strange comment at the bottom, I assume this was aimed at the players decision was easy after seeing how well these other lads have done.
