Rooney And Mcginn Signed Extensions

[Ke1t]

Didna see a thread on this, if so just merge this...

 

Fucking great news though. As much stick as McGinn gets the guy's a quality player. Might look a bit slow, lazy or disinterested, but I think that's just how his face naturally is. Seems like a monumental effort for him to configure a facial expression that isn't Sleepy, Puzzled, Worried, or Sad.

 

Magic player, though.

 

 

[fifered]

Agreed. Brilliant news. McGinn is involved in a huge number of our goals, gets far too much stick on here. We're dangerously close to being well run just now.

[Dandyesque]

Any details on the length of the deals?

Aberdeen duo Adam Rooney and Niall McGinn have signed contract extensions at Pittodrie.

Dublin-born striker Rooney, 26, who has scored 17 goals this season, is committed to stay on for another three-and-a-half years.

And Northern Ireland international forward McGinn, 27, is tied to the Dons until the summer of 2017.

Striker Lawrence Shankland, 19, and defender Scott McKenna, 18, have also agreed two-and-a-half year deals.

Good business...

Cheers- excellent news

[Jack_Glass]

incredible stuff, Aberdeen just keep delivering positives, what a difference since McInnes has arrived, everything seems to be getting run properly

 

there's a lot to be said for people being happy at their work and wanting job security

Possibly more to do with Mr Yule's influence.

I'm miserable as hell at having had to say cheerio to my folks and fly back to Brisbane but having arrived here 2 hours ago and feeling jetlagged to hell this has put a bounce back into my step!

 

Actually that's a lie. I'm sitting slouched in a chair with my feet up. So it's put an erection into my penis. How about that.

 

Great news. Aye not the hardon: the contract extensions.

Did you enjoy your visit(s) to pittodrie?

 

Definitely a marked difference in atmosphere around the place?

Don't put yersel down adio, the hard-on is great news too. Merry Christmas to all you down under types.

[a don in oz]

It definitely seems to haved improved somewhat the atmosphere. It's still not heaving but there is a greater response to action and people seem more united on the whole. Mind you that's probably ust wishful thinking.

 

It was good though. Was at the Killie and Hamilton games and watched the United one via RedTV via VPN with my old man.

 

And a Merry Christmas back to you Northern hemisphere folks.

I never realised they had dungeon S&M rooms in airports these days...

[dj_bollocks]

….and watched the United one via RedTV via VPN with my old man.

 

With your penis or your actual old man… or both ? Actually it doesn't matter…

[Sonoftherock]

Great news. Two players with records that would easily win them a contract in English Football... but they've chosen to stay at Pittodrie. Probably not a coincidence that both have alread experienced life in the lower reaches of English football and realise that the grass isn't always greener! Hopefully the tide is changing...

[RAZOR]

Got bit of business.

 

Still think we could end up getting money for McGinn.

[fine-n-dandy]

Great news all around but I am quite surprised that McGinn signed a new deal. Didn't think he would be interested.

Great quotes today from McGinn and Rooney - http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/30590685

 

"Since I came here I've loved every moment, winning the trophy [League Cup], playing lots of football, getting my career back on track again," the Northern Irishman said.

 

"It's helped with the international games as well, I've been involved a lot. Over the last few years it's been very exciting," added McGinn, who signed for Aberdeen in July 2012.

 

"I'm over the moon. The gaffer pulled me in a couple of weeks ago and said there was another year for me, and it was a no brainer for me to get it done and dusted.

 

"I'm just thankful to be at a good club and enjoying my football, it's a great time to be here."

 

 

 

"It's been great since I came in here," the Irishman said.

 

"I've really enjoyed my time and it's been a really good time for the club as well. It's been nothing but positive around the club and the city so I'm delighted to extend my deal."

 

Compare that to the quotes from people who have come to our club and failed. The attitude of this squad is a million miles away from what it was a few years ago. This is a team that seem to be enjoying the pressure and expectations and want to thrive under it instead of using as an excuse.

 

McInnes has clearly worked hard on fixing the atmosphere around the club and ensuring that this is a club that players not only want to sign for but want to stay as well.

How did I miss this news yesterday, great stuff, thought McGinn would be tim bound.

[Dynamo]

Two players that have been down south and see that the grass isn't always greener...

That's a weird thing to go down south expecting. With the right treatment and care any lawn anywhere could be greener than the next one.

[Jings Crivvens]

Great news they have both signed extended deals. Its great having all this positive news from the club

[The Boofon]

Not true.

[RAZOR]

Not twoooo.

[The Boofon]

 

Not twoooo.

Owl get you for that you Prrrrrrrick.

[Byrne Baby Byrne]

Great business by the Dons. Seems strange having good players who want to be here!!

 

McGinn has been quality the last 4 or so games. Here's hoping he keeps it up.

Ally McCoist should go to you for tips

[tightbreeks]

i think that for far too long our managers have come in and immediately had no faith in our teams ability to take the game to the opposition.

 

mcinnes seems like hes put the belief back into our team and set them up to win every league game, no matter who or where we're playing.

 

much like strachan with scotland.
