He was pictured at Pittodrie on Sunday but apparently his old pal just signed for them from Wycombe so in insolation, maybe nothing in it. But then it has come out today that David Bates - the man with the best agent in football - is leaving for Legia Warsaw and is getting his medical today so Aberdeen might well be in the market for another centre half. Non starter apparently Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given that both were fit and on form they might be important players for us in the season ahead. Just a thought, I'm not 100% on this one but I'm sure somebody will remember. When we signed brophy I think he was out injured at killie. For a player of 26 to be as injury prone is either a worry or there is something amiss with the player. Can make a comparison with Dennis when he was here, suffered a serious injury but obviously work hard with rehab to get back into the team and indeed is still doing well at carlisle and ready for a 46 league game season.

Unfortunately it means that there’s next to no chance that McGinn will be leaving them this summer now, if Gerrard has just made him captain. If there was any doubt about his future there, he wouldn’t have been given the armband. We’ve been waiting a couple of years to cash in on him again, but it’s looking less likely now. Shame, as it would be a big windfall for us and I’d love to see him get a crack at a top club down there, especially a year or two ago when he was on fire. .

According to the SMISA meeting notes, Celtics offer included a 30% sell-on fee. Selling at his development fee just now with a big sell-on fee now, whilst we have a bargaining tool, is better than having no negotiation other than the dev fee next summer.Interested clubs will see less risk in this model, instead of paying a larger upfront fee plus a sell-on as good as that for us.

Thanks. As I understand it, we accepted the offer but the player decided to stay, as is his right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mainstand Sweary Mob Posted August 14, 2022 Report Share Posted August 14, 2022 From watching yesterday I'm not sure what else we need to help add to the squad. Before I still thought we needed a Gogic type and a more creative type like Ronan. From yesterday I thought Erhahon, Baccus and Kiltie played really well (though looked f**ked like anyone would in that heat playing at that tempo). I'm now thinking, even if it's the loan market, maybe cover for both wing backs who can get up and down all day at that tempo would be good. Tanser is good and a great option on his day, but is injured a fair bit. Tait did well yesterday and his goal was great, but he is seen as backup on both sides. With Tanser out and him in, we are light there with players. Sent from my IN2023 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe this is why the fakes were glad to get him off their books. Anyway as for Tait, it wouldn't surprise me if he knows he is now a backup player as he is into his 30s now. Not a bad type of players to have as back up as in gives 100% every game. Certainly puts some of the younger ones to shame..................

His injury problems seem to have developed with us. We do need to bring in a LB/LWB. With Fraser filling in for Gallagher yesterday, we had no real cover for Strain either.
