Dons_1988 Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 Appreciate Ryan Christie is probably his own man, but his father fucking hates us and will probably do everything within his power to talk him out of it I've heard this a few times but no idea why. What's the story? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would add that the specific location of Hibs and Hearts in Leith and Gorgie respectively is more important than the Beach is for Aberdeen as a one club city though - as all of Aberdeen is arguably a 'traditional' Aberdeen-supporting area and Aberdeenshire supplies a lot of Aberdeen fans as well. Only 55% of season ticket holders live in Aberdeen City according to the planning application for the new stadium. http://www.scotsman.com/sport/football/aidan-smith-what-s-not-to-like-about-pittodrie-1-4345109 Excellent in what way? Nostalgia is all well and good but we need to here proper reasoned VIABLE arguments to stay at Pittodrie. Not cos this guy used to fear Joey Harper would score a hat trick against Hibs but he doesn't worry about that now. I think staying and redeveloping Pittodrie is just about every Dons fans first choice, but it's been made perfectly clear that it just isn't a possibility. We move on.

Aberdeen21 Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 I'd like to know what is going with James Maddison. Unless Norwich are trying to sell him to someone and get some sort of fee(similar to wes burns at Bristol city) then I don't understand why he hasn't returned yet. If they had any intention of keeping him then surely he would have made the bench over the last few games. In particular the FA Cup game against Southampton when Neil named 4/5 youth team players in the squad with little to no first team experience. Something just doesn't seem right about Maddison and the fact we are now being linked with Commons and Christie who I would see as replacements for Maddison and not hayes or mcginn. The manager is looking for two new signings and I can only see maybe one more player leaving and that could be Storey on loan. Aberdeen wont deal with Cardiff any longer until they up the offer substantially but that's not say another championship side won't come in desperate for a winger last minute and throw a million pound plus at us. I believe derek is trying to get may in on 2/3 year deal rather than a loan but this is all dependent on Preston getting in another striker and whether or not they want to cut their losses. May is open to the permanent deal. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Widge Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 A 2 year deal where he spends most of it recovering from a year out injured. When he finally hits form he's out of contract and leaves for f**k all You're closer to 18 months now where he's not played. He's going to take at least the next 6 months and next preseason to get back to match fitness, that's if there's no complications with the injury. You've got to question whether he'll be as committed with his knee the way it is. Don't get me wrong he'll still be a cracking player, but I don't think he'll ever be the same player who played against England. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maddison can't play for anyone but us or Norwich until the summer. He'll be back on deadline day imho. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RussellAnderson Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 Yeah I reckon so. They're just taking the opportunity to see more of him in training, etc. Wouldn't surprise me if Aberdeen now have a "no recall" clause in loan agreements after the Danny Ward situation last year. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carl Cort's Hamstring Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 Excellent news about Shinnie, as I didn't think he would be hanging around for very long. If he was a bit faster I really think he'd be English Premier League standard. The guy is just a superb all-round footballer. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he was a bit faster I really think he'd be English Premier League standard. The guy is just a superb all-round footballer. Couldn't agree more. Great player but also has a fitness and a desire our teams have lacked for years. What a feckin engine the lad has. He is everywhere on match day. Hopefully others will see his commitment and sign on for longer too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should fit right in. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
