No he wouldn't

He wouldn't even be ahead of Ferguson when you look at the crop of midfielders selected for the 2 internationals in the coming days

Forgot about him! Fair point TC.

anyway, who cares about the hypotheticals! Still a little in shock that he’s just signed a 4 year.

fucking brilliant news. Well done AFC and those with the sauces that called it was happening on Thursday...

[Durrant Dived]

4 years is absolutely brilliant 👏

Well done to all involved for making it happen, especially Robson for sorting the team out to seal 3rd and group stage football - absolutely vital to recruitment this summer.

Without 3rd i doubt he would be back.

[Andy_123]

Great signing. A real show of intent from us. Let’s hope there’s a few more of his calibre coming through the door this summer.

Gunn’s going in danger of people thinking he knows what he’s doing after this…

Is that the same Scotland that Ross McCrorie got a call up to?

Clarkson > McCrorie

Fantastic bit of business from the club

4 year deal is incredible too, fair play to those invovled for getting it done

 

Well said, my thoughts exactly. 

Hopefully we bring in a few more cracking signings.

A very, very good start to the window. 

[RedDevilFish]

Absolutely excellent news. 

[aberdeen1970]

Just caught the news. 

Massive credit to the club for pulling this one off. 4 year deal as well. 

[Dal Riata Don]

OK, I'll start: I hope his wages aren't too high.

But seriously now, this is great news.

Exciting times.

4 year deal

Great bit of business

[Dandyesque]

There's going to be wet sheets for the Hat fraternity again, just for a different reason this time...

[DD1903]

Oh my

[Sheep Shagger]

Brilliant news.

The loan players who do well up here, never end up signing for us.

Maddison, Ward, Christie. I'd put Clarkson up with them. A really important day for the club and a pretty groundbreaking signing.

For those that worry about the cost. It isn't a gamble, you already know how good he is and with European revenue the club can clearly afford him.

Just enjoy it for a few years. This boy has got some talent.

Well if Clarkson stays with us for the full 4 years, he'll qualify for Scotland under the residency rule I think. I hope he does both things in the fullness of time

[NorfolkDandy]

Marvellous news!

I noticed that 'two' was referenced earlier - Are we getting another today?

Thanks to my source once again. Never let me down tbf 

[Russell]

I think this sends out a strong message to these young boys at the bigger clubs - come to Aberdeen on loan and you too can win yourself a big move to the famous

[C'monEweReds]

Absolutely buzzing with this, 4 year deal is an incredible bit of business.

Well done to Cormack, Gunn and anybody else that was involved to make this happen. 

Couldn't have wished for a better start to the window, keep the standards similar and we'll enjoy this season. 

 

[torry_battery_ram]

Delighted he's back and absolutely stunned its a 4 year deal, would have expected to have been 2 years.

But hopefully it also sends a message to the young developmental loons too. Step up. This club is going places. Step up or step off...

That's what comes from a man trying to multimask

[Dons79]

This is brilliant, hoping we could pull this off but didn’t think we could, great start to the window and shows Dave is starting to put his money where his mouth is, kudos for that.

nobody has been as critical and harsh towards Gunn but that’s stops now, great effort from burrows and Robson to persuade him also, so excited for the season to start now, 1st place here we come🥇

[paddy]

What a signing, I’m stunned!

[Joe pike]

Looks to me Liverpool have been easy to deal with.

Probably a bigger sell on fee.
