Parklife Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 Yeah. If it's us, then Cormack has definitely put his money where his mouth is. Fingers crossed it's us but it definitely seems more like a Celtic signing tbh. Link to comment

Tord31 Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 Reading that two belgian clubs offered over $1M for him in January but Orlando rejected the offer rating him at $3M. This could be interesting. I dont think it immediately sounds like the kinda thing rangers and celtic do. Link to comment
Dons79 Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 It says been in contact for some time, after everything and all the changes that’s happened at Celtic park I cannot see it being them. Timeline dictates it very easily could be us, with cormacks influences, huns haven’t really bought from the American market, as for hearts????, fucking no chance. excited of us, would definitely be a coup. adding in how well Hernandez is doing a can see his transfer fee being used for this guys wages, cannot see Hernandez ever playing for us, so might be something in this for us Link to comment
Hoofball Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 3 hours ago, South Stand Seagull said: MLS reporters saying Chris Mueller, CF Orlando City, has signed a pre contract for a Scottish club once the MLS season is over November. Some speculation it’s us because of Glass and Ramirez. But who knows. So would he sign in November or have to wait until January when the Scottish transfer window opens Link to comment
Tord31 Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 It looks like he's only on $110,000 a year at the moment. I thought maybe googling that would settle that it wasn't a go-er but perhaps not. Link to comment

BonnieDon Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 A few Hibs fans seem confident it's them who have signed this lad. They already have a number of wingers: Boyle, Wright, McKay, Murphy and Magennis. Link to comment
Ernie McCracken Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 That's more like the sort of signing cormack was alluding to. Link to comment

StandFree1982 Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 Interestingly, or probably not, theres a Twitter account called @zathanielprice that listed a load of MSL footballers back in May last year, with a team they would be suited to in Europe. Any guesses for what team he put down for Chris Mueller? That's right, Aberdeen. https://twitter.com/zathanielprice/status/1258289404713541632?s=20 Link to comment

If Rangers or Celtic signed a player on a pre contract it would be all over the media. Aberdeen are keeping absolutely everything top secret at the moment. Why, I don’t know but maybe just to gain some advantage in ways. Link to comment
slippers Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 Why so secretive? Getting our hopes up for it not to be us at all. Hibs also have American opener don’t they? Link to comment

The pre-contract was signed yesterday and whichever club will be trying to sign him permanently now for a knock down price. You probably only announce a pre once you've given up the ghost that he is not available in the next 4-5 weeks. Link to comment

Over on Hibs.net, one poster claims its definitely Hibs who have signed him and they are trying to get him this window. Ron Gordon has been willing to spend a fair amount on their side this past 12-18 months. Personally, I'd be very surprised if it were us. Its the type of signing I'd like to see us make though.

Tord31 Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 Aye I see some Hibs fans 'confirming' it is them Surely Scott Burns will tell us tonight who it is. He's losing his touch if not. Link to comment

Fair play to Hibs if true. Does worry me w bit more about the season though if Hibs are going to have a real go and have a number of sellable assets. Victory is so important tonight to give us all hope! Link to comment

Fingers crossed it's us but it definitely seems more like a Celtic signing tbh. Aberdeen, Hearts and Hibs forums all saying it's them now. Cormack and Gordon at Aberdeen and Hibs respectively making noises about spending more money. Savage at Hearts drooling about quality of looming signings, and we're profitable, and now have Anderson on the Board. So the scene is therefore set for Celtic, who've said nothing, snapping him up for their bench. Kickback MLS experts confirming he's a player. Rapid and a goal threat. They have him on one wing, Nani on the other, which gives an idea of his quality. Again would be an amazing signing for anyone outside Glasgow. I'll genuinely be first to say well done if it's Aberdeen, or even Hibs. But especially if it's us. It still feels like a Glasgow signing though. Link to comment

From what I’ve read it would be a coup for anyone outside OF. If Orlando turned down 1m bids in January because they rated him at 3m I’d be very surprised if it’s anyone outside OF and if it is fair play for showing some ambition. Link to comment
Tord31 Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 i'm more hopeful than some of you that its AFC. Seems like Ramirez MKII to me.... even looks like him. however now doing my investigatory work and seeing than alan russell doesn't follow him then he's not coming to AFC. Link to comment

Ernie McCracken Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 Daily Record have picked up on it now. Surely only a matter of time before it's confirmed by the relevant club or leaked to the press. Link to comment

Ten Caat Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 I know if you pay a transfer fee to sign somebody outwith a window then you cannot register them until the following window. My understanding was free agents could be registered at any time but I've never looked into it in any great depth Link to comment
Ernie McCracken Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 It would be ironic if the first signing that all Dons fans seem to be in agreement on ends up being for Hibs ???♂️ Link to comment
Sheepo Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 I have seen this guy in the flesh a few times for Orlando and he was always one that stood out, obviously Nani is the big cheese at Orlando but this guy certainly has ability Link to comment
