a don in oz Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 We either have him for another 18 months until his contract runs out, or we get a decent wedge of cash for him in the summer (albeit % will go to bank given terms of debt deal). ? Link to comment
G31DON Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 Used to think Considine was hopeless, and he quite often was. But he is now a reliable no nonsense defender, albeit not a natural LB. I am impressed how much he has improved. Hayes however is great news, for me the most effective forward player we've got. If he can up the quality of his end product then his value would go up hugely. Ryan Jack though is the most important player in the team, getting better every match, it would be sore one to lose him, hopefully potential bidders see he needs another season up here before he goes. (After signing a year extention and a £3mill transfer fee!) Link to comment
alscotoz Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 Very happy with Hayes re-signing and Considine could still do a job as a stop gap defender. I hope Jack signs for at least another year; it would be a win/win for both parties. Link to comment
The_Next_Legend Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 Been told jack is off as well, the last time he signed he wanted to leave apparently but McInnes said stay for another 2/3 years then I'll let you leave. Which sounds quite reasonable, also jack is a better player than Aberdeen IMO and for him to go on and play for Scotland which he is more than capable he needs to play at a higher level. Reckon he will be sold in summer... Unless the lad has a change of heart and wants to stay, but he probably knows himself he can earn much more elsewhere and test himself at a higher level. Why wouldn't he want to leave, he'll be 23/24 by the fime his contact is up, absolutely perfect age with a lot of years on his side. Unlike Fraser, grimmer and fyvie, jack has actually stayed and proved his worth and shown loyalty with the club, I would t be annoyed if he chose to leave. Link to comment
Tord31 Posted December 30, 2014 Author Share Posted December 30, 2014 I wouldn't be annoyed if he leaves for a transfer fee. I would be annoyed if he ran his contract down. I would say a one year extension with a release clause for a sensible fee included could be a good approach. He also has to have his wits about him to wait for a good club that will develop him correctly. Link to comment
a don in oz Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 It'll be a real shame if Jack goes but I think the positive is that we should get decent money for him because we don't need to accept any offer to keep a bank happy now. Still hope he decides to stay long term because he's quality to have in your team and if we actually want to be challenging for the league we would be better with him in the team than not.

Still hope he decides to stay long term because he's quality to have in your team and if we actually want to be challenging for the league we would be better with him in the team than not. i do think no matter how we end the season that he will sign an extension, even by just 1 year. and like u allude to im sure the way the club is being run currently that we wouldnt be stupid enough to accept anything less than a couple of million quid, should there be a few serious bids Link to comment
Byrne Baby Byrne Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 Would like him to sign for another year so we can hopefully get more cash for him if he does go... But fair enough if he doesn't. I'd wish him all the best and look out for him wherever he goes. He's served us well.... looking forward to seeing him lift the Premiership trophy in Scotland and then in England Link to comment
rossafc92 Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 ?

Still hope he decides to stay long term because he's quality to have in your team and if we actually want to be challenging for the league we would be better with him in the team than not. Part of the deal struck between the Donalds, AFC and Lloyds is that the latter get a percentage of any transfer fees we receive over the next 12-24 months (not sure exactly on the timescale). Was confirmed by Milne at the AGM. Jack's situation very different to other players brought through the system at Pittodrie. He's been here a while and has been a vital part of the first team set-up for three seasons, now in his fourth. I do hope his next move isn't down south though. Genuinely think he'd be doing himself a massive favour with a move to the Netherlands for example. Couldn't help but think that night in Groningen that Jack would slot in seamlessly into their side. I'm sure The Sun were reporting that Groningen were keen on him a couple of weeks back, actually. Link to comment

dervish Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 If it's true about Jack. Shit crack that Championship/Prem bench is a "higher level" but as I always say don't blame the player blame the game (normally during post-coitus travel advice). It's not like he's not serviced us a few times. Anyways I'll have no shit about Consi, he's played out of position near enough all the time. Even then he's fairly solid. He's a cunt for it being his testimonial year though... I remember him as wee whipper snapper. Link to comment
the sheep Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 Story in the Press and Journal saying that we are "Aberdeen looking to extend Jeff Monakana loan deal". Not sure about this one as the guy hasn't been given game time. Link to comment
Site Sponsor Dom Sullivan Posted December 31, 2014 Site Sponsor Share Posted December 31, 2014 If its not costing us money in wages, yes as he showed against Hamilton that there is something there. If it costs us dosh and he's bench blocking, na. Link to comment

Tord31 Posted December 31, 2014 Author Share Posted December 31, 2014 Lip service I think. Doubt we'll retain him unless Brighton (who without a manager until today so are unlikely to) give us an offer we cant refuse. McInnes probably just protecting the lad and may need to call on him over the next couple games Link to comment
StandFree1982 Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 Seems decent in spells. Which is all I've seen him in! If we do look to keep him longer whose space on the bench is he taking? With Anderson, Flood, McManus and Robson all back and Smith n Shankland also already on bench... Link to comment

Tord31 Posted January 2, 2015 Author Share Posted January 2, 2015 Danny Rogers loan from Aberdeen to Dumbarton is extended until the end of the season Still to determine futures of McManus (returning Monday), Shaugnessey and Masson, and Monakana (expires Monday) Link to comment
RAZOR Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 Straight swap for McManus and Monakana it would seem. Link to comment
RUL Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 Shaugnessey earning some poor reviews at falkirk, think he's even dropped out of their first team. Link to comment

(After signing a year extention and a £3mill transfer fee!) Jack has become the heart beat of our team. An absolute Rolls Royce of a player. Huge loss if he does move on, but it's becoming inevitable. As others have said, he's destined for greater things. Think he's done the right thing with career... he stayed at Aberdeen, getting games under his belt and developing himself as a player. He's probably ready to take the next step. No hard feelings from me. Link to comment
Tord31 Posted January 2, 2015 Author Share Posted January 2, 2015 Shaughnesseys future is complicated by fact he's played for Dons and Falkirk this season. He won't be allowed to play for a third team during the season. Same applies to McManus but thankfully in his case Morton do want him to extend. Joe aint featured in last four or five games for Falkirk Link to comment
King Street Loon Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 By all accounts Shug has been horse shit at the Bairns and has been dropped by them of late.He'll be released by us. Link to comment
Byrne Baby Byrne Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 Jack was unreal on the ball yesterday. Him and Hayes in the middle is the business. Can't see how Willo Flood will improve this team when he gets back - but still a great player to have in our ranks Link to comment
