V for Vendetta Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 The lad needs some game time. Get the plumber to fuck a stick Hernandez on the bench for those 10 cameo appearances. Link to comment
Simply Red Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 Its a fucking strange one alright. Surely we have to wait till he’s had a run of games before assessing how good/bad he actually is. Link to comment
Fridge Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 He’s clearly fucking pish. There is no other reason for him not getting at least a cameo off the bench. 1 Link to comment

fine-n-dandy Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 Well who wanted him signed? Cormack or McInnes or both? just reeks of dodgey dealings somehow Link to comment

Are they banned from asking anything? This is one of the biggest mysteries for me! Why hasn't a journalist asked McInnes why his record signing doesn't play? I hope someone asks the question at the AGM. Link to comment

Got a couple under threat of getting sacked if they don't reduce their average odds picks and up their win percentages. May need to sack masel actually. A swift firing sets cats amongst pigeons and sharpens focus. Got to be ruthless. Yes I enjoy a punt from time to time... but wouldn't claim to be any good at it! Best I remain on the sidelines like our Ronny. Link to comment

strachanmcgheegoal Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 I’d start with confirmation we paid £800k and take it from there. Link to comment

I don't see that argument either. I'm not sure why the anti-DNA brigade keep coming away with this line. Cutting off the DNA money doesn't mean Derek isn't going to stop signing duds. It just means the overall squad numbers will be reduced. We'll have less shite players, but also less good players too! Link to comment

If he goes to Copa America this summer we'd probably pocket £300k or something. Shame if he's falling out of the picture now. Keen to see him stay in the game after Dons. Fingers crossed for the lad We've maybe signed the wrong player again, we have a history of doing that with Norwegian teams. Link to comment

I don’t get the slagging of it all. It’s VOLUNTARY. if folk don’t want to support it fine, if folk can & do, great, the club benefits.

Guest Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 I go with the theory we signed him with a view to him moving to Atlanta at some point. 800k-1,000,000 for a 3rd choice full back is absolutely brutal, though. That money could've got us a young player from our own league with potential to grow, Alan Campbell, Jason Kerr, Stuart Findlay etc etc. No good. Link to comment

Come christmas time, with FIndlay and Campbell out of contract in the summer, 800k would probably secure both those players... with a wee bit left to spare! So frustrating that we've wasted that money on Ronny! Link to comment
Tord31 Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 The best explanation is we never spent £800k (to be proved / disproved when the accounts come out in first week December) Second explanation is he was going to Atlanta in the summer but covid messed up timings (possibly relating to Atlanta players moving to Europe).

The Boofon Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 Ronald will come good. It's his lack of understanding Portuguese that has held him back. Link to comment

Point 1. My point exactly. We either a/didn’t spend 800k or b/there was a book figure of 800k involved but it was never intended as a first team player - rather as a stepping stone to Atlanta or wherever. We may be absolute mugs but refusing to play a £800k Player would be a whole new level. We insisted on playing Brian O’Neil for fuck sake. Link to comment
