Personally, I think it will be better for his career if he stays away from England at this stage. I think the pace of the Italian League suits him better. I'm not sure he'd be so effective in Guffland although we'd probably see more cash.

I hope he stays abroad but the boy is class I think if he went to England he would handle the league just fine and probably excel in it to.

McGhee ended up at Hamburg who were a big club at the time and only a few years after they were appearing in European Cup finals

The fee we are due is a % of next sale apparently, not even just of the profit

Champ manager has it as 15% but I've seen 20% somewhere too

Pretty penny coming our way and a superb deal by whoever it was negotiating that

His father was on the radio saying if he moved, we would be on to a pretty penny, gave no inclination of the sell on fee obviously though. Guys running amok in Seria A, was outstanding away at Atalanta

And to think him and McMurdo wanted us to accept peanuts for him to go to Watford!! even more tin pot club than ourselves at the moment.

Played for a very average Manchester United side (albeit they won the 1985 FA Cup via a worldy strike by Norman Whiteside during his 3 years there) and played for Leeds in the old Division 2 before they got promoted, all after leaving Aberdeen in 1984, so it was a big step down from our club in my book.

Strachan played for Leeds when they also won the old English Division 1 title in 1991/92 and Man Utd were second. No doubt Fergie would be going ballistic about that. 
that was the last time that the top division was known as division 1

If Bologna hold on to 4th place and qualify for the Chumpions League, is there a possibility that they keep hold of Ferguson, in the hope of doing better the the Chumpions League with Ferguson in the team, and they end up getting more money this way than simply selling Ferguson for big bucks, and thus we end up with no add on.

He’s signed till 2027. If he keeps the form up he’s long gone before then. I hope they sell In summer. Always the fear he fails to hit the heights the following season. Hopefully them qualifying for CL will mean they can hold out for an extra 20%.

That's as funny as having one of your molars ripped out by a dentist who still adopts medieval practices to tooth extraction, without the use of local anaesthesia.

Aye, I ken that min. He played in a Leeds team with the likes of Dorigo, Cantona, McAllister et al in their ranks that won that last version of the old Division 1 in 91/92.

A battle of egos and differing ideas would have led to Alex Ferguson relinquishing his services at that awful abhorrent club MUFC, just like he did with Strachan back in 1984 much to AFC's detriment.

[Schapenneuker]

He's become a terrific footballer, but the thing that makes him almost unique amongst Scottish footballers is his intelligence. 

It takes some doing to become one of the top midfielders in Italy, and captain of a top 4 Serie A club. 

Not for Lewis the age old, thick as shit Scottish footballer curse. None of the....'I hate the food' or 'it's too far away from my burd's mum', or 'it's just like being in a foreign country'. 

Nope. He's learned Italian, he's embraced the culture, he's improved his game and his maturity 100%. Motta's Bologna play intelligent, modern football, and Lewis is a key part of that. 

What a fucking top lad. Every single young Scottish player with a possible future in the game should be looking to emulate him.

That's a great finish. He had no time to set himself.

I always maintain that it rankled with the nippy little bastard that his time at Pittodrie was the pinnacle of his career

Yes, I fully agree min.👍

The despicable masses of tim supporters never accepted him at all whilst their he was manager purely because he was very successful at Aberdeen.

Whilst it rankled him about the most successful point of his career was during his 7 years at Aberdeen, it worked against him as well later on in his managerial career.

Aye winning the league in England as captain is definitely a BIG step down....

We'll agree to disagree.

He only won 2 domestic top level trophies whilst playing down south, whilst he won 8 trophies at AFC (2 Premier Leagues, 3 Scottish Cups, 1 ECWC, 1 UEFA Super Cup, and, not forgetting, the Dryborough Cup in 1980).

Got to replace macgregor surely

With form definitely, mctominay, mcginn and ferguson would an excellent midfield.

Not a chance. 

There's a great balance to the Scotland midfield right now. Ferguson won't be in the first 11 barring injuries (likely 2 required, as Gilmour is before him too). 

[Dandys1983]

Ferguson more likely to come on for Mcginn or McTominay, plays a totally different position to McGregor, Gilmour is more the replacement for him, Probably battle with Christie to come off the bench and replace Mcginn / McTominay. 

On current form I'd have Gilmour in before McGregor though.

I agree. Similar role to McTominay in particular. That's his route into the team and explains why he hasn't featured as much as he might, the form McTominay has been in for us.

McGregor/Gilmour I think depends on the opposition and if we need a bit more physical presence, in which case McGregor makes more sense.

They don’t even play the same position. Do better.

With McGregor out, they might drop McTominay back in there alongside Gilmour. 

Even then, I think Clark would play McGinn & Christie in behind whoever is up front.

 

[aberdeen1970]

I think he's close to the first team and things will open up for him after the Euros. 

[Helmet]

He should get a start in one of the upcoming friendlies- need to give the better quality backups some game time.

No chance that'll happen as he played for us before making the move to Bologna. 

That's how it has always worked when it comes to getting selected to start for Scotland if you play for, or have played for, Aberdeen.
