But still brought in 6m, taking off the 2m costs, we made 4m. You'd be giving up the fight for 3rd to sell your best player in January. How could you make £4 million, did you not have any out goings! Players wages, transport, accommodation etc Link to comment

Keep Miovski until at least the summer, qualify for Europe again, and then offer him an extension to his existing contract. Absolutely no rush at all to sell him. I couldn't give a fuck if that is the so-called reality that some submit to. To be a successful team, you keep your best players. End of. Why should we be any different? Link to comment

We are trying to build a team that can eventually challenge for every domestic trophy. No requirement at all to break it up so soon. If we cut out the calamitous defending and weak mentality away from home there is a very good possibility we could finish second. I would far sooner we have a successful team and have players of the class of Miovski on our books than fretting about the potential money we may get for him via a transfer fee. Fuck me, he's barely played 20 games for us There would be no point of Aberdeen Football Club if that was the case. Link to comment

I'm not saying its not what we'd all want but it certainly won't be the clubs aim anytime soon. No club outwith the Glasgow scum will likely ever win the title again in any of our lifetimes (unless they bugger off to some other league). Link to comment

In the season they won they spent a quarter of what Man City spent on transfer fees and half of what Liverpool spent. The equivalent for us to be as close financially to the old firm would mean us spending £6-12 million a year on transfer fees, not going to happen unless we get some moneybags benefactor with very deep pockets.

With all due respect to you loon, what's the point of having a football club if you've no ambition, other than settle to be second or third best? When George Yule was vice-chairman, one of the first things he said, when in the role, was what's the point if your main ambition is to be in the "top six", third or second best? Never truer words said. Last season, we showed we can go toe-to-toe with both of the repugnant scum, on any given match day, with arguably a far poorer squad of players, so there is no reason to think we can't progress, if our mentality is right, as the ability is there.

Ambition is great... its not reality though. We'd all love to see us challenging for titles again, the way Scottish football is its just never going to happen unless they leave. The financial disparity between them and the rest is too big. I'm pretty sure Celtic spent more on trasnfers this summer than we have in our entire history. Look at the gap at the top already, 15 games played and we're in 3rd and 17 points behind Celtic. At this rate we'll finish the season over 40 points behind them, thats not a gab we're going to overturn anytime in the foreseeable future. Link to comment

Combined Hearts and Aberdeen team would probably be relatively even in terms of players from both sides - Gordon, Halkett and whoever plays RB for you would likely get a game for us, Barry McKay maybe, and Shankland would get some game time off the bench. Halliday might get a job cleaning the toilets. However, it's all completely irrelevant - we are above you in the league, and that is the norm. You might finish above us the odd season, but you're in the Championship / First Division more regularly than that. Link to comment
