Seems there are many experts on his ability so will take their word for it. Dont think they are basing it on that. Ive never seen the guy but when you see St mirren fans in disbelief that they could get a fee for him its a big red flag in my book! Link to comment

He gets quite a lot wrong though if you look through his past history. Folk just remember the ones he gets right. Consi rumoured to be leaving so that leaves us with no left footed centre back. Manager's previous club have a left footed centre back. He has a year left on his contract so would probably command a fee. Robinson has actually signed Dunne twice before and is delighted to be reunited with him and was praising him to the hilt in the media the other day. Wouldn't imagine he wants to lose him so lo and behold we have a £200k fee being rumoured. 2 + 2 =? Link to comment

Sometimes things do not come to pass, a move may breakdown for whatever reason. It was interesting that the Burns article appeared online about 5-7 hours after Mainstandmoan had posted on here. Would love to know if there is a connection! Both running with Charles Dunne bid and Considine not being offered an extension. MM also gets a fair bit wrong… but over the years has by far the best hit rate of any of the so-called ‘ITK’. I think you have to appreciate these guys are just passing on info that they’ve heard… Link to comment

I'm not saying we won't sign him but the 200k stuff has definitely just been plucked out of thin air. Link to comment

Facts and proof please 32 minutes ago, The Gee Man said: Would honestly think when it was about 5 games before the end of the 2019 season and he still hadn’t signed a deal with us , his agent would have other offers to show him. It’s his job You prove that he did have offers... Link to comment

Granite95 Posted April 6, 2022 Share Posted April 6, 2022 https://www.afc.co.uk/2022/04/06/andy-considine-update/ That's at least 2 grand a week saved on wages, on top of whatever Ojo + McGeough will have been on Link to comment
aberdeen1970 Posted April 6, 2022 Share Posted April 6, 2022 Consi obviously has a 2 year playing deal on the table somewhere else. Link to comment

Probably a 2 year deal at Ross County/Caley/Dundee/Cove on less than what we offered but worth it in his mind as it not a 1 year deal. That would be my guess. Link to comment

Is it confirmed he wanted a 2 year deal? I see Goodwin has said so. Shit situation He was happy as Larry just to get a one year deal last year probably his agent fkd this for him. Link to comment
shooftahmooftah Posted April 6, 2022 Share Posted April 6, 2022 Biggest mistake in football was when greedy agents came into play, and infected players. Considine at 35 should face facts and taken the deal Aberdeen offered, let’s face it he’s maybe got a big heart but not a Ronaldo. Link to comment

That would be my guess. Caley or a relegated Dundee would be my guess. I don't think County will be interested. But still think a player-coaching position at Cove or Montrose more likely Link to comment

ThomohawkKid Posted April 6, 2022 Share Posted April 6, 2022 My mate who is a St Mirren fae says Dunne is class and a steal at 200k ? he’s normally quite honest given all the links we’ve had with them in recent times. Link to comment

Tord31 Posted April 6, 2022 Share Posted April 6, 2022 7 hours ago, aberdeen1970 said: Just rumours just now though isn't it? Pretty easy headlines for the media to link a manager with his ex club's players. Happens every day. Just about every Hun player has been linked with Aston Villa in the last couple of months, he's not signed a single one. Same with Rodgers, he was continually linked with Celtic players when he went to Leicester, didn't sign a single one. Would be surprised if more than one St Mirren player rocks up at Pittodrie. And we should also know not to take the fans forum view on these things too seriously. Look at the views on here about our own players. Ranging from world beater to useless cunt in the space of a few minutes sometimes. and given we are going to need 2 or 3 strikers then you wouldnt bet against it ending up being Eamon Brophy Link to comment

Brophy is St Mirrens top earner. On around £4k a week apparently. And bearing in mind he's still under contract we shouldn't be anywhere near him. Link to comment

aberdeen1970 Posted April 6, 2022 Share Posted April 6, 2022 Going to be a much younger squad next season you'd think compared to this year. Brown, McGinn, Consi, Ojo, McGeouch all away. Probably Jet and Ramirez as well. Maybe Lewis and/or Woods. That's a fair chunk of guys 30 and over heading out the door. Link to comment
