Hagi's pubic hair Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 Where are we getting £850K to spunk on a player and not even give him the chance, agreed, this is a bit weird. Link to comment
Hagi's pubic hair Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 The lack of not seeing your family especially when playing so far from home would play on a young guys mind, but he did sign for Stabæk in 2017, he's been far from home for years. I would love us to recoup the spunked money, I can't see how unless some South American team is willing to pay us what we paid, given he wants to be able to go home more, if thats the real reason.

They are only allowed 8 foreign players at a time so he came to the Dons to wait for a bitty. Covid hit everything went wrong (eg players didnt leave atlanta) and he's needed to hang on for a whole year in Aberdeen. If he goes somewhere other than Atlanta i'll be totally baffled. Selling Jon Gallagher the other day (for $225k by the way) creates one foreign player spot at Atlanta. Link to comment
G31DON Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 200k up front 600k after he's played 25 games (which won't happen) Sell him to Atlanta for 500k Great deal. Link to comment

Hagi's pubic hair Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 Just doesn't make any sense, if he came here with the thinking of selling him to Atalanta, then why not give him a chance and to keep match fit by playing him, if he is that bad in training why would Atalanta or any other team pay nearly £1m for him, it's all very strange and even stranger if he goes elsewhere as pointed out above.

I have a feeling it's not that he is shyte. Venezuela are the Scotland of South America but 17 caps says he knows how to play a bit. I think it's been his lack of physicality that has been his undoing. Just not suited to the rigours of the Scottish game. By not playing him, we don't risk him picking up a bad injury. The whole transfer stinks though....McInnes says there was at least one other club interested ( and still are) and I'd be amazed if it wasn't Atlanta. But who had no space at that point for him on their roster due to their quotas (entirely different from our quota) so we get lumbered with him in a holding operation till there's room in Atlanta's squad, ( and preventing any other suitors from snapping him up) then we offload him there for what we paid and maybe an extra £100k on top for our trouble. To be fair, I was expecting about a 75% hit on his transfer fee so just getting it back is a huge bonus Link to comment

Dynamo Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 Still don't like it. We should be signing players to help our team not a bunch of yanks. Link to comment

The financial report for yesterday’s AGM states that an investment from an existing director of £1m was made on Feb 2nd, the day we signed Ronnie. Crotty, or one of the Atlanta guys you would think. So, clearly, we were a “holding club” for the player, until Atlanta freed up an international space on their books for him, which they now have with Gallagher going. The plan was probably to utilise the guy for this period. Until we found out he wa shit. So I’d expect to see an outgoing payment of £1m on Jan 1st, on next years financial report. 1 Link to comment

fine-n-dandy Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 So the general consensus (to excuse Mcinnes of all blame) is that we didn’t sign Hernandez to play really. It was just a bit of legal human trafficking to get him out of Norway & into the US? Link to comment

If that is a yes then they must be extremely worried he can't get into our side. It's not like he is getting dropped now and again but not even getting 5 mins at the end of a game. Link to comment

Especially if they know he's only a few weeks away from joining them. Play him now....even if only for 4 or 5 minutes as a time wasting substitution...and you risk him copping a broken leg or a snapped cruciate. Link to comment

So you buy him for an undisclosed sum and occasionally give sound bites like doing well in training and keeping sharp etc. You don’t say we’ve got a 850k player but we’re playing Funso Ojo and Shay Logan in front of him, just cos we can, please don’t ask us why.
