Niall McGinn and awaaaay

[chief_wiggum]

Signed for Dundee according to STV news

[Medw1311]

Reports suggest we released him from his contract

"allowed to leave"
"...after leaving Aberdeen"

EDIT - From the Record - "The Dons have agreed to let the 34-year-old go on a free"

I suppose it frees up a significant wage.

[Dom Sullivan]

All the best to him.

Good player for us in his first stint.

Fuck him if he lines up against us though

[Big Hat Logan]

Ooft, mind when the Dundee fans went mental after that penalty at dens? That was hilarious.

Anyway, gave us some great memories and really was a fantastic player for us but legs are long gone and no point keeping him on for nostalgia sakes. Tbh he shouldn’t have come back after Korea as he has had a handful of good games in that time.

Dundee though. They are a total basket case of a club.

[The Gee Man]

Big wages I bet, another positive move

[Millertime]

Was there not a bit of animosity between Dundee and him?

[RED_JOHN]

Niall was a class player in his first spell as a Don. Time has moved on though and he doesn’t get a look in now so it’s best he goes to another team so it helps us find new players. Good luck Niall.

[Andy_123]

He might still prove useful for a bit longer up top but his days of sending full backs the wrong way with a drop of the shoulder are long gone.

Good luck to him. Except against us of course.

You would know about that if you weren’t a plastic fan and a grass.

[Crossbow]

Good luck to him - as others have said good player in first spell and knew where the goal was - not always played to his strengths by McInnes who seemed to prefer a big lump in front of goal. Dundee a strange choice though - I'm sure he'll get feedback by some of that crowd

Yes there is.

 

[King Street Loon]

I wish him well.

Was a great signing first time around. Really really good.

Second spell not so much.

I hope the ladies of Dundee are prepared for his arrival. 

[RUL]

Great player for us over the years. I imagine he will just commute from Aberdeen.

All the best to him.

[The Gee Man]

Hedges next

[Guest milne_afc]

One of the McInnes era greats. Probably in the AFC all time top 250

[jamiesd]

All the best to Niall.

[1903Fitba]

I had a lot of love for him (no homo) after his first spell. Him and Hayes etc. really made me fall in love with Aberdeen again. 

Sadly his shite hair line and second stint make me indifferent towards him now. 
 

End of it all I wish him the best. 

[For Fecks Sake]

All the best Niall and thanks for all the memories - class player.

Goal every 3 or so games, incredible record especially when you consider how watered down the numbers must be since his keech second spell

[WesthillWanderersFC]

Been a great servant for the club.

Wish him well. 

Hopefully the freeing up of a wage for a new signing. 

[aberdeen1970]

Cheers Niall, it's been a pleasure 

[DelMonte]

Club legend IMO. 

For people under 30 hes probably top 3 players they can remember for us.

100%. 
 

Jonny Hayes as well. 

[torry_battery_ram]

Sad to see Niall go but he has been a great servant.

Scored some quality goals for us along the way.

[Ramandu]

Someone got a wee compilation of his best goals?

[Ke1t]

Only wish him the best. 

Finished at a club like Aberdeen, and always frustrated with his 30 yard Hollywood efforts that went flying 20 feet over the bar when there were other/better options available, but was a class act in his first spell, no question.

Rich praise ?

[Torry Tosser]

Aye best of luck loon..Great servant.

[thurso]

Wish him well. 
 

He’s been one of the best players this century id say and left me with more happy memories than bad ones. 
 

Hopefully he can come back to Aberdeen one day and get a proper send off 

[Ten Caat]

Shame he couldn't have taken one final bow in red in front of a Pittodrie crowd but when a move happens you have to take it right away

As good a player as any we've had in the past 15 years

All the best Niall
