Andy_123 Posted May 17, 2021 Share Posted May 17, 2021 We’ll never get £5m. He’s had a poor season, surprised anyone is bidding for him just now. £3m + adds on like the McKenna fee and I reckon we’ll deal. Link to comment

Not the reality Consi. We are not in the overinflated bubble market. Oliver McBurnie, Oliver Burke etc would be examples of overinflating. The reality is, they are willing to take a gamble in the Scottish market to see if they get a John McGinn, when they could in effect get a Sam Cosgrove. £3M with a sell-on add-on is where we will shake the hand (bump elbows) on the deal.

aberdeen1970 Posted May 17, 2021 Share Posted May 17, 2021 Aye 3m plus add ons feels like the point we might deal. Link to comment

I got absolutely panned for it about 18 months back when I said we needed someone better He is what he is.......a guy signed from Cardiff's reserves Link to comment

We’d snap their hand for a similar deal He had a few Scotland caps and interest from Celtic as well. We'll do well to get a similar deal, sadly. Link to comment

Livingston at home, huns away, and the worst St Mirren in the cup, I'm probably being generous and missing a few. His attempt at a save the other day was laughable. Cringeworthy. Link to comment

He’s had some howlers no argument there. He’s also saved us numerous times this season as well. Captaincy needs given to someone else and let Lewis concentrate on his own game again.

strachanmcgheegoal Posted May 17, 2021 Share Posted May 17, 2021 Keeping Lewis (because we have to) and shifting the captaincy (which Im sure is conditional salary related but bringing in Brown will blow that out of the water I suspect) wouldnt be the biggest disaster for the club. As TC says, bigger worries than that. Link to comment

If he could reliably fuck them 60 yards up the park every time it wouldn't be quite so bad but he can't even do that. Football has changed. Modern day goalkeepers are expected to have more than a passing acquaintance with controlling a ball, passing it on to a team-mate in a bit of space to start off a passage of play. Link to comment
aberdeen1970 Posted May 17, 2021 Share Posted May 17, 2021 His confidence looks shot. Definitely needs to be relieved of the captaincy. Never a captain. His kicking is poor but he's better than Woods at just about everything else that a goalkeeper needs to do. I think he has enough goodwill to be given a chance to find his form again. There is a chance he might want a fresh start himself. Can't see many of the McInnes players remaining once the dust settles. 1 Link to comment
strachanmcgheegoal Posted May 17, 2021 Share Posted May 17, 2021 Whilst I dont disagree TC it is also incredibly naiive to think a team that is bereft of confidence isnt going to be pressed mercilessly a la Saturday if they start trying to fuck about at the back either. Having zero forward or wide threat simply adds to this pressure. If nothing else it simply brings two more players forward in their wing backs to add to said pressure. Thats what I personally am looking for from Brown. Yes by all means try to introduce good habits of which playing out from the back and retaining the football is one. But dont think come Saturday you're going to be up against the training cones youve been doing well against all week (during which time Im sure watching on there was a lot to like about us!).

McInnes was using whatever supplement a captain gets to help secure players on extended contracts. Which was OK with regards to Shinnie but was clearly a bad idea when it came to Jack and Lewis.

strachanmcgheegoal Posted May 17, 2021 Share Posted May 17, 2021 precisely. (although I always assumed it referred to level of wage, which then helped them decide to sign the contract period extensions) Link to comment
Byrne Baby Byrne Posted May 17, 2021 Share Posted May 17, 2021 Lewis has unquestionably been a shite choice as captain. It just looks like we don't even have a captain these days. But happy for him to stay in goals. We should really look at this summers rebuilding job as a huge opportunity, because the quality of the league is absolutely abysmal. We almost finished 3rd with that shower of shite and scored about 7 goals last season. 1 Link to comment
