There’s a great Irish bar there that does decent food.

‘Drunken Poet if I recall correctly.

 

Youre probably correct though, Boat Quay is a better place to take the Mrs

Singapore is great. Plenty good places

Roger Hannah on Clyde 1 previewing tomorrow's match

Looking forward to seeing how Scott Wright plays "as he looks to earn himself a move down south"

He's generally on the ball with his info (and crucially no obvious bias towards either of the arse cheeks). If Wright had signed a pre-contract with der Hun, he would be the guy I'd trust to hear about it.

Let's think about this.

Injury prone, no caps, no medals, in and out of an SPL team etc..

I'll wager Gillingham or Rochdale or similar

When you take off the red tinted specs and if you put yourself in Wrights shoes, why wouldn’t you opt to try and get a better deal?

He’ll be a cheap option for a lot of clubs, who’ll likely offer more than the reported £1k a week.

McInnes stressed that the reason Wright turned down the offer wasn't financially motivated, he just wants to assess his options and try something new if he can.

I don't think anyone here would decry the loon for doing that.

Just that some of us have doubts that he is going to find clubs that are at least on an equivalent level to us (or better) that are interested in his services.

If the derisory £1k/week is true then he shouldn't find great difficulty finding a club willing to top it. There were clubs in English non-league football paying some players more than double that, although I'm not sure if the new salary caps coming in next season in EFL1/2 also filter down to non-league level ana. The EFL2 cap is pretty savage

Transfer windows are always like this. 

Managers speak shite

Players speak shite

Agents speak shite 

If course he's financially motivated. Yeah, maybe he fancies a change but not if it means being out if pocket.

It pay both sides to spin the reality.

‘Wright gets to keep his options open (potentially including us if there is no better), Aberdeen don’t get branded as not able to offer a young loon sufficient remuneration

Exactly

Sevco rumours on pre contract for Wright started

[fine-n-dandy]

Trying to get him now or on pre contract. Assuming if now there will be a release for McCrorie to us now in the deal

[strachanmcgheegoal]

Interesting, on a number of levels.

Arse cheek quality?  Ive seriously under estimated the guy if so.

And whilst the Huns berate the Tims for the buscuit tin mentality are they looking at this deal and hearing reversing alarms?  They should be.

Old news chaps

[Kincardine_Mearns_Red]

Surely he will go to England?

[Tord31]

Like Jack if he's got a chance to go to the Huns it's likely to be more attractive than the specific teams from England that would be interested in him in 2021.

Also if he stays with us he's likely to continue to be shite and or injured and never get a move.

It makes sense for all parties and gets us some cash (or an opportunity of another player in lieu of cash) for his development. 

[sooth_stander]

Kick in the steens again for us Dandies, and no mistake.

Think VERY carefully Scotty, min

[minijc]

He has been pish for the majority of his time here, 3 months of being above average and he's potentially getting a move there, that tells you more about the state of them than how good he is, the Injury prone weakling won't be a major loss and I doubt he'll feature much for them.

[Laichomoray]

May be a simple case of realising he might be regularly injured,and deciding to try and cash in down south before he gets that reputation.Bummer losing a talent like that,but....

Totally agree

[Tord31]

He has been pish forever full stop. If we can raise a transfer fee it would be a welcome surprise.

[frankie_mac's_4]

Remains to be seen where he ends up. As someone said, he needs to think long and hard aboot this if its on the table though - everyone knows there's another level of consideration to an Aberdeen boy going there.

I think there's a lot of people on here who underestimate how good Scott Wright could be fully fit and playing in a good side though

Fully fit is the issue though,  5 and a bit seasons and only 70+ appearances. Not amazing stats

[StandFree1982]

He'll turn out like Jones and Stewart, both players who've actually had a few seasons at this level with rave reviews, Wright hasn't. 

He can be a very good player, but his injury record is horrendous. 

 

[fine-n-dandy]

If (as Mcinnes says) we have been trying  to get him to sign an extension for the last 4 months,  then there has to be some serious suspicions of ‘tapping up’ here.

Fairly safe to assume that is not the case with Wright though. Just a few months most likely going by  form

I'm on aboot him being written off on here as pish, shite, on a level with that Gallagher boy fae Atlanta. 

Clearly the injury history is a worry for any club looking at him

Aye. Unless he looked good on his crutches last year
