Parklife Posted April 6, 2022 Share Posted April 6, 2022 £2k a week offer and an avenue in to coaching - seems a very fair offer. If it's not good enough for him then that's tough titties. Him/his agent running to journos when they'd agreed to release a joint statement tomorrow is cunt behaviour. 1 Link to comment
paddy Posted April 6, 2022 Share Posted April 6, 2022 Goodwin has pretty much told any club interested what Considine wants in terms of salary and length of contract. I reckon it would scare a few potential suitors off. Does seem that Andy and/or agent has leaked it, and Jim got pissed off. Link to comment

You have no idea what the offer was and how it compared to his previous contract. He could have been on £4k a week, Aberdeen have offered £2k and his agent has come back asking for £3k (a 50% increase on the offer but still a lot less than he was previously on). Link to comment
WesthillWanderersFC Posted April 6, 2022 Share Posted April 6, 2022 Hopefully the club statement put out about AC shuts up the folk who are wailing like prom queens about him leaving. Made a very generous offer for a 35 year old whose been out for 8 months injured. He/his agent got greedy The club withdraw the offer End of story. Thanks for the service, good luck & goodbye.

That’s considine and his agent just ruined a potential 20 years worth of coaching with the club, for the sake of 1 year on inflated wages which he will absolutely not manage to get at another club. What utter balloons. 3 Link to comment

Agreed. 2k (minimum) for a 35 year old coming back from a cruciate injury is very generous. What a daft lad handling it how he has. Link to comment

Can't say he's ever stood out as someone I'd love to have playing for Aberdeen. What's your thoughts on him? Having never seen the guy play or never noticed him playing against us my thoughts on him are that if Jim Goodwin thinks he can improve the team then I'll back his judgement. Apparently he's a 6'2" athletic pacy left sided centre back? We could use one of them in the squad I'd say. He might cost a few pound which is nae ideal but might not be looking for a massive wage which would make the overall package affordable to us. Anyway, I'm willing to back Goodwins judgement on this one given he's worked with him before. 1 Link to comment

Guest milne_afc Posted April 6, 2022 Share Posted April 6, 2022 Is Andy Considine the first Dons player to be afflicted with Davie Cooper syndrome? Imagine he was actually ever being paid double the most recent offer ? Link to comment

Durrant Dived Posted April 6, 2022 Share Posted April 6, 2022 As covered 2k a week and coaching path when you are 35 and been out injured for a year is more than fair. Pure greed asking for more. Cya Andy. Link to comment

The discussions shouldn’t be leaked and if that’s consi’s camp that’s naughty, however the offers made could have been a significant pay cut (which may or may not be warranted with your opinion of the player) - hence the counter offer was made which in itself may have been unrealistic (knowing from the first offer that any deal was unlikely), plus who wants to take a pay cut if they can avoid it? Got to negotiate at least. Sad way for it to end but the club statement is worded cleverly, and enough so that 70% of the muppets on here don’t read between the lines and think he was asking for ridiculous sums of money which he may not have been really. 1 Link to comment

Come on Getting straight in with the "greedy rat" comment was transparent and predictable. As well as being melodramatic. Negotiations are common in football. You should know this with your connections. The club called his bluff, we move on. Expect Considine to be announced on a 2 year deal somewhere else soon. Just a normal day in professional football min. For the record I think the club has made the right decision. Link to comment
Byrne Baby Byrne Posted April 6, 2022 Share Posted April 6, 2022 Think most would have preferred if considine stayed, but most would have preferred if it was on reduced terms as well. 35 and just back from a long term injury isn’t really going to get you a 2 year deal is it. my only worry is the players currently here in his position and the ones we are being linked to don’t appear to be upgrades. He’s been brilliant the last few years, there’s no doubt about it. Total donkey in his early 20s but matured into a great servant. Link to comment

beef_sister Posted April 6, 2022 Share Posted April 6, 2022 Brilliant move from Goodwin coming out and telling us straight what has happened The considine agenda can be put to bed now. He wanted a longer term deal at 35yrs old coming off the back of a serious injury...... I'd like to think his agent has filled his head with shite and he's followed with it, Regardless, He's delusional to think he can dictate to the club what he wants at this stage in his career, Good luck wherever he goes, But lets put this into perspective, We've lost a journeyman centre half at the end of the day, Not Cannavaro Link to comment

mutant Posted April 6, 2022 Share Posted April 6, 2022 This is what our club has needed for a long long time. Getting rid of players who are either too old, always injured or simply not good enough. Just have to trust Goodwin to bring in better replacements. Link to comment

Wouldn't think he'll get that anywhere else. Liking Goodwin's response, doesn't seem to hold back just says what he's thinking. Makes me wonder who AFC leak is. Remember Mcinnes used to make signings almost out the blue. Mr reliable, Scott Burns must have something over someone at club. Usually reported by him. Link to comment

Big Hat Logan Posted April 6, 2022 Share Posted April 6, 2022 27 minutes ago, DoonTheLine said: Why? 6 figure guaranteed sum could be a 2k a week offer. if Consi is on between 3-4K currently then his agent just asked for a similar wage as currently albeit for 2 years not 1. All this is getting tiresome with the spin doctoring of the Cormack empire could be wrong and he was offered 3-4K and asked for 6-7k but doesn’t strike me as logical. So waste wages on a player who is unlikely to play much for two years that could be used better elsewhere? Okay then. Link to comment

brownie Posted April 6, 2022 Share Posted April 6, 2022 Considine and his agent have tried to pull a fast one. Its backfired massively. More so for Considine as the end of his career has ended on a sour note. 35 years old, just back from an injury and trying to hold the club to ransom. Horrible behaviour. Credit to Goodwin though. Balls on him. Link to comment
DoonTheLine Posted April 6, 2022 Share Posted April 6, 2022 Abody calling him greedy when they don’t know the exact finances at play here. The wording is clever… 50% increase on the offer that was made, could mean they offered 2k and he asked for 3k a week…now if he’s on anything over 3k a week currently then he was still happy to take a paycut maybe just not to the levels originally requested. Everybody negotiates contracts in work life, if you don’t you are an idiot, and if you ask for a number and get it, that’s not greedy that’s bloody clever! Having the information leaked is naughty, the contract negotiations are not, and for Cormack FC to detail this how they have is essentially bad on them too. Does Dave just expect players to accept the first offer to play under his umbrella? He probably does! 1 Link to comment
