AyrshireSheep Posted June 19, 2022 Share Posted June 19, 2022 28 minutes ago, WesthillWanderersFC said: Aye true. I’m tarring Mowbray with Russ Richardson’s League One & Two brush. Just seems odd paying a six figure fee for a 26 year old from League Two who’s played two seasons of football only effectively (83 league games). Ach, we’ll see. I’m meh in general about the Dons just now & have been for a while. Aye i'd like to think Mowbray is better than Richardson. And we only really have 1 signing to base that on in Besuijen. But he's been good enough for us so far. We'll see the best of him this season. Until we acrually sign players we won't know the quality we are looking at but Goodwin seems to know exactly what he wants and needs which is streets ahead of the clusterfuck of last summer.

If this lad is as consistent as Shay was in his first 3-4 years then he’ll be fine. Link to comment
North_Andy_Dandy Posted June 19, 2022 Share Posted June 19, 2022 Never heard of him but he’s got to better than Gurr or Ojo. I’m happy enough with the club paying a small fee along the lines of the Ramadani deal. It shows that we’ve got money to spend on the right player instead of just scrambling about for out of contract like we do most of the time. Link to comment
Tord31 Posted June 19, 2022 Share Posted June 19, 2022 Tranmere apparently want £400k for him. Even if its only £250k i'll need some convincing. Part of my argument here is I genuinely dont think we'll get to where we want to be with McCrorie playing 30-50 games in midfield per season 2 Link to comment

He’s playing in the 4th tier of English football for a reason, which means he’s not worth £400k & Tranmere can fuck off. Link to comment

Remain to be convinced on that aswell. I liked him at CH but he needs a good defender beside him. Not Bates or Gallagher The Argentinian LB that Celtic want looks like it will drag on aswell. His agent saying he expects news in the "next few weeks". Hopefully just agent waffle but if it's going to drag on I hope we tell them we won't be waiting for Scales and we move on. Link to comment
AyrshireSheep Posted June 19, 2022 Share Posted June 19, 2022 Think Alan Nixon has linked us with Lee Burge. Sunderland Keeper. Was 2nd choice last season but the season before he was a regular and kept 18 clean sheets. Link to comment

Fair bit of cash but if he ticks all the boxes and club believe they can flip him in a couple of years I’m all for it. We shouldn’t be put off with a few 100k if he’s the right player. Only thing I would prefer was that he was a few years younger. I’m not worried about his lack of football in his career all I care about is his last season or 2 where he seems to have put in some real good performances. We have signed plenty of players that have had a great start to career but fell off a cliff when they sign for us, this boy atleast looks to be on a upward trajectory. Link to comment

Byrne Baby Byrne Posted June 19, 2022 Share Posted June 19, 2022 Problem for Ferguson is Aberdeen have a very good player for our level on a very average wage. It’s a good deal for us. Although he’s good for our level, he’s nowhere near as good as he thinks he is and that’s why there’s only stinking offers from shite like Millwall. I’d be happy to just keep him here on a 50 quid a week for a couple more seasons unless he becomes a better player and some actual bids come in Link to comment

This lad will be around £250k, quite possibly more now that Tranmere know we have millions from the Ramsay sale. Link to comment
Baaaaa heid Posted June 19, 2022 Share Posted June 19, 2022 So with the Ramsey deal official do we have to wait 3-5 working days for the money to start spending, because someone people are expecting players coming in every 2 days and some like my self just hope we get the best we can get regardless of how long it takes to get them through the door Link to comment
Dave Bus Posted June 19, 2022 Share Posted June 19, 2022 Why are we having to pay over inflated fees for everyone this summer, did Goodwin forget about pre contracts and free agents. 400k for a 26 year old league 2 right back is utter madness , Ferguson worth 10 million on that sorta valuations.
