Barron

[CCB III]

Seems pretty obvious we know bids are coming so are protecting him as an asset. 
 

What might've been, eh.

Hearts or Hibs? I think there’s been fewer than 5 players made the switch from Dons to Hearts and vice versa.

That one got me thinking. Severin, Van de Ven, Logan loan, Bett?, memories of a Colin Cameron transfer saga.

Bett went via Valur

Forgot all about Logan tbh

Jim Hamilton H>A

[Wester Hailes Skins]

Loved Peter van de Ven. And Jim Bett, didn't realise how good he was til we had him.

I'd be amazed if Barron rejected Aberdeen to get a move to either Hearts or Hibs. Glasgow or England for him and his agent.

Dhanda out of contract and a more likely target for us.

That was decided April 2022 though and I'm almost certain he'll have already been speaking to clubs, funny if he ends up at Hibs or Hearts.

You don't half speak some crap sometimes. Pretend to have inside info but you're way off mark here

Can’t be saying things like that without backing it up, what have you heard

If you say so bud, told several folk then he'd never sign a deal, I then got a new messaged in the summer that he was close to signing a deal which never materialised as he/his agent had walked away and please don't come with the clearly made up "he was offered less than MacKenzie" pish.

It was reported earlier that Barron was ambitious, and looking to go as far as he can in the game.

 

Aberdeen will be the stepping stone to his ambitions.

.just hope we can get some money for him

[DelMonte]

He’s not good enough to play for us just now. Get a fee and we can move on. Got better players.

Ambitious or just desperate to make as much swag as possible?

He’s not really showing much ambition from what I’ve seen.

[slippers]

I think he’s signed for someone else based on zero mins in last 2 games. Maybe even Rangers. Just guessing.

He can't have, the window doesn't open until January.

That said, there's no doubt his agent will definitely know by now who's interested and roughly how much and how long for they're willing to offer him contract wise.

My guess is he's headed to a lower half English Championship side but if he were to go to an arse cheek, my suspicion is it'd be to the east end of Glasgow rather than south west side.

Replacement for the Rat? Can’t see any chance of him getting a new contract, so another rat to replace him with!

Plenty of players in similar contract situation go meet other clubs, happens up and down the country right through December.

Yeah very true.

 

It works both ways, for and against us.

Glad to see the youth development showing real signs of promise.

He’s going to Celtic. 

That’d be my guess. They won’t miss an opportunity to get one of our better players for peanuts and stick him on the endless list of players that don’t play. Then off to England league one. Surely hasn’t played enough and been fit enough for the championship?

Brenda is under huge pressure to cease the project style signings in Jan, and bring in 4 first teamers right away; goalie, centre mid, winger and striker. If Barron comes in, he’s no better than the shit they signed in the summer. Very very strange if he goes there.

Id say he’s more of a Sevco signing

Neil Alexander, Neil MacFarlane, Neil Buchanan, Jim Hamilton and David Winnie.

Be shocked if we haven't already spoken to guys like Baccus, Strain and Dhanda for example

[aberdeen1970]

Agents, clubs and players negotiate potential moves continuously. 

Windows are just for formalising things. 

[Johnnyred1]

I think he will attract a lot of interest due to how little he will cost for such potential. He must have done something unsavoury to be excluded and you wonder if we have shot ourselves in the foot by not playing him whilst we can. Why would he even consider signing when he doesn't get a game. "Still in negotiations" is a smoke screen.

What came first though; the chicken or the egg?

It’s clear that Barron has never had any intention of signing a new deal and that’s why he’s not getting selected. I don’t think it’s the other way round.

[Footballs coming Rome]

The way this is playing out brings back memories of the snake

[JumboJET]

Is this guy a hun or what?

[a don in oz]

It'll be interesting to see which club announces they've signed him because it seems clear as day that he's just stringing us along for that offer elsewhere.

[dave_min]

Can’t believe he doesn’t want to sit on the bench for such a high performance side as Robbo’s Reds.

Didnt he see us come back from 1-0 down against a cheap housing estate on the edge of Edinburgh last night?

Which snake? Jack or Wright? Also some worthy mentions for Fraser, Grimmer, Fyvie & the boy that went to Leeds lately that somehow was excused any form of criticism by far too many for some reason

Jack when he strung us along. 
Some list there. Fraser was the only one to go onto a successful career leaving us so early. 
I was looking forward to seeing Pirie play in the first team. It’s been a while since we developed a good forward from our academy. 

[Simply Red]

No real beef with any of the players mentioned above other than the Rat and Wright for enjoying scoring against us too much.
