We're still waiting for a new manager. I can't buy the home sickness thing, as he's an hour to Amsterdam. It's either something personal he's dealing with to do with his family, or somethings happened that we'll never know about. Yet again though, it's a signing that's failed than 18 months in. The length of flight to Amsterdam means nothing at all If you are living away from all your family and friends, speaking a different language (and let's face it, the dialect he'd be dealing with in Aberdeen bears little resemblance to any English he might have learnt at school) it can be a lonely existence. Hell when I was a charge nurse, I had a couple of newly qualified staff nurses who ended up leaving within 6 months because they were homesick for their friends/family/life, one from Glasgow and one from the Borders. Only an hour away by car so no real difference in time to get home that Vinny would have. Link to comment

They are all in the same boat. The club have fucked this up, unless there's personal circumstances we're unaware of. Link to comment

If you'll recall he had a lovely assist for Duk in the last game we won v St J. If we want to improve as a club this is the kind of talent that needs nurtured. Nobody behind the scenes knows what they are doing. He’s done fuck all and showed literally nothing here. Weak mentality and not good enough. Won’t even notice he’s gone. 1 1 Link to comment

We might recoup a heap of the fee we paid. Fucking hell min 😂 embarrassing Link to comment
Guest milne_afc Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 Youth academy products should be able to offer as much he ever did, as a bare minimum. Nothing against the lad but he was fucking root. Link to comment

I think he was technically one of our best players, on a long deal, and should've been worked with for longer. You can't give up on every long term signing after a year because they haven't taken off, it sometimes takes time. Anyway, good luck to him. Link to comment
CCB III Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 When VB came in he didn't exactly have an incredible set of stats, what the club saw was something to work with. Still a young player, and still has potential. Shit business. 1 Link to comment

It’s hardly a disaster. We signed a young player and it hasn’t worked out. We’ve got much bigger problems than crying about Vinnie leaving ffs. Link to comment

The club has no idea what it wants to do with this strategy shit, and this is further evidence of that. Playing devil's advocate I can't imagine the club are expecting to make a profit on every player that they sign under this new strategy. If we manage to get £2m for one, then that pays for 4 or 5 of them. Just like we can't expect every signing to be a hit. Sorry to see Vinny go. Clearly had talent but not the consistency to go with it. To be fair to him I think he started out on the wing for us, had a brief stint in number 10, right side of a front 4 and on the right side of a 5. Can't be easy to continually play so many different positions/formations. Always looked decent in that number 10 role and would definitely have played him there more recently instead of Clarkson Link to comment

Huge transfer turnover, ripping up contracts, pay outs etc. totally unsustainable way to run the club. Best chance of decent money this year is 4th place. Link to comment

You have no idea what the story or reasoning is behind him leaving. The transfers have been poor the past few years on a whole but this one isn’t a disaster. Link to comment

thurso Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 Bit of a shame he’s going. Thought he looked good when played properly. only week minded people get homesick. Tc I think your nurses just used that as an excuse to leave so soon after signing. Link to comment
