Transfer Rumours Jan 2018 City Transfer Thread

[John Ex Aberdeen now E.R.]

The issue is, to someone who doesn’t understand football - like Ehab - then once the players are back from injury then we’re fine. And on paper that’s to an extent correct, with everyone fit we’ve got one of the top 4 squads in the division.

The problem he doesn’t realise is that a) it’ll take some of these players months to get back to their best even when fit which doesn’t help us this season b) Mason may never play again and c) no team is ever without some injuries.

Exactly.

This sounds very plausible. Unfortunately if for us fans those long term injuries are not likely to hit the ground running and their impact on the relegation battle may well be limited.

It obviously will be limited. You cannot come back from a long term lay off and make a big impact. I think it's called rehabilitation and then match fitness. They run on adrenalin for a few games then fall away.

Cue someone tell me I'm talking bollocks. Guess that will come from one of the crowd who told us the last transfer window was ok and the squad was 'good enough'. Maybe I misunderstood the 'good enough' bit. 'Good enough' to keep us just above the bottom three

Funnily enough that was my going rate for 10 hours inc travel time.

Can someone close this thread until closing day please

Good idea. Open it again with an hour or so to go.

I’ve got £190 to come if we go down, betfair are offering £35 to cash out now

A tad optimistic perhaps?

 

[tigerscanada]

They will just keep this story going until the last day and then say he has decided to stay at Aberdeen. Result no signings, its all in the planning.

Etched in granite...

He needed to move though, self confessed he’d gone stale.

Just console yourself with how effectively we've reinvested the £500k.

May well have needed to move but for £500K?

I think that was his release clause? We obviously effectively negotiate great value release clauses.......for any buying club! The Allams business acumen cannot be questioned.
