No reason why we shouldn't be asking the same for Hedges Hedges is far superior to the snipers dream, he found his level in the championship. That Belgian lot must be bonkers paying a million for him Link to comment

Even if true, that's still a better deal than a £500k flat fee for a far superior player which some on here would have happily accepted. Link to comment

Perhaps a bit of a swop deal being lined up with Hibs, Hedges and a bit of cash for Boyle? Allows Ferguson to be sold, which may also be further advanced than we think? Link to comment

Wee Alickie Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 If Hedges goes we should go for Marley Watkins who was great for us (until Brooner put him out of the game for months. ) He scored twice last night for Cardiff City on his debut - both well taken goals as seen on SSN. Cardiff only have him on a one month contract until deadline day 31 August. Link to comment

Cardiff very convenient for Bristol as well so wouldn't have to up root. Link to comment

Aye, his pace creates him more chances. Wouldn't say no to Boyle/Ramirez/Hedges as a front 3. Potential to be a peak Hayes/Rooney/Mcginn front 3. 1 Link to comment

starryfish Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 At times Hedges did well last season but I wouldn't be crying myself to sleep if he moved on just now. Link to comment

Yeah, this is my take on it too - it's either really stupid of him, or highly disrespectful of him, if he is indeed leaving. He doesn't come across as either of those (any more so than average footballer) which makes me think he's not actually moving. I'm not on twitter so don't know if any questions were asked and whether he responded to them. If he doesn't play tonight then rumour mill will be in full flow. I would be disappointed if he left because he's one of our only genuinely entertaining, exciting players to watch who is capable of going past players and creating chances and scoring goals with a bit of magic. Has he done it consistently - not really - but he was generally very good last season and we were dismal without him. Finding a replacement of similar quality wouldn't be easy - we've had our fair share of hopeless wingers / forwards over recent years. Even someone who looked like being a reasonable signing on paper, such as Kennedy, has proven to fall far short of the standard required. Someone like Martin Boyle would be your equivalent to Hedges, but won't come cheap, even though he's a bit older. Link to comment
King Street Loon Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 Blackburn away to sign a guy from Brighton loan who can play Hedges position. Probably rule them out now. Link to comment
fine-n-dandy Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 Mate of mine just sold a full home cinema complete with seating & some gaming chairs to an Aberdeen player apparently ? edit …. From Edinburgh I might add. £15k’s worth ? Link to comment

Kiriakov33 Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 Hope I’m wrong but I think his departure will be announced after game tonight or tomorrow. You don’t use an Edinburgh removal firm to move you 16 miles into town.. His house in Banchory is on the market. Link to comment
