maryhilldon Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 Rooney and Cosgrove ( for 12 months) are the only half decent strikers Mcinnes has signed in 8 years. Shocking success rate. Link to comment

Shocking success rate. Still more successful than the 15 years before mcinnes..... also, they wouldn't be signing for aberdeen if they were that good in the first place, every striker is a gamble 1 Link to comment

You dont sell your only historically prolific striker near the end of window without a ready made replacement unless you need the money. Did we not get a great bid for mckenna just before the window and turned down citing not enough time for an adequate replacement. Heck where are all our rumoured precontracts. Clearly cormark is already concerned about next year payroll. Link to comment

I really don't like these canadians WHAT THERES A PANDEMIC? I think you need to reread the post or put on those reading glasses. The whole point of the post is covid. Teams are making hard financial decisions hence there is no free money to invest in the squad. Are you keeping up or should i speak slower.. respectively of course. I am sorry you dislike us canadians we are actually a kind people if you get to know us eh? We even apologize for others ignorance. 1 Link to comment

The reason we could turn down mckenna bid was because there wasn't a large covid style hole in our finances So selling Cosgrove is completely different You are catching up... you have almost put all the pieces together.

The Scottish cup winners will be guaranteed group stage football in Europe next season. If the Scottish cup is won by either of the top 2, else is not completed, then that advantage will go to third place in the league. with the early rounds postponed and no visibility of when lower league teams can compete, I fear that the Scottish Cup will be completed this season. we should push for third as a minimum to be in that backup position though Link to comment

aberdeen1970 Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 Well good luck to him. Appreciate the goals scored. Best result for both parties though at this point. He looked like he wanted away and we weren't really getting anything from him any more. Hopefully results in a change of approach from McInnes. Link to comment

Andy_123 Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 Fair play to McInnes and Richardson for this one. Plenty goals for a while and a very decent profit. Good luck Cosgrove. If McInnes is somehow still in charge beyond his current contract, we’ll no doubt see you back up here. 1 Link to comment
