McInnes needs to take a fucking long hard look at himself with this shite. May was never a winger or lone striker and trying to play him as one was idiocy. Letting him go with less than two days of the window remaining and seemingly no replacement lined up is just stupid. Bet the rest of the support are creaming themselves with excitement at the prospect of Curtis Main up front this season The transfer window closes on Monday. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevie may leaving has clearly been planned all summer so it’s not like this is a shock move.may hasn’t been good for us, it could’ve gone better but that’s on him the same way it’s on mcinnes. We part ways and move on, nothing more, nothing less. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s been clear for a long time that may leaving was part of the plan for this transfer window. Said it on your thread, it’s just the best thing for all parties. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just media saying it, no idea how much trust you put in them. Our chairman has confirmed the deal initially broke down to his agent, who refused to file the paperwork at the last moment and tried to get more money out of both Saints and Aberdeen. Don't know exact details but he's also apparently said we've paid half of the severance deal you had agreed with May, to get the deal done. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDon99 Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 As much as it fustrates me to think that we've just replaced a hard working decently skilled May with Main (the less the said about his skills etc.), I feel like both will score similar amounts of goals at Aberdeen, but crucially Main will be paid considerably less for it. Weird to think that May was probably the most exciting and most hyped up signing the clubs had for a while yet all he'll be remembered for was his effort...Sadly he's the definition of a flop and whats worse is I think he'll score goals at St. Johnstone and make us feel terrible about the whole thing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raidernation Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 What this says to me is that Derek, for all his blustering about players having the mindset to win every game doesn’t 1. Actually have that mindset2. Given attacking players to do so can’t actually play them as attacking players.Mirror, mirror del...... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rodhull Posted September 2, 2019 Share Posted September 2, 2019 Surprised how quiet it’s been. Didn’t necessarily expect anyone coming in but was sure some people would have been loaned out or Gleason finally getting punted. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd expect we're doing the "decent" thing and letting him recover frrom injury before binning him. Makes no odds to us, we'll have to pay off him anyway. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Gleeson is released now he cannot sign for anyone else until January so would expect him to be at club until at least then. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a great example of how players aren't simply good or bad. They react differently to managers, team mates, systems, home life. I was delighted when St Johnstone appeared to have found a young player with real talent and hoped he'd re-discover it at Aberdeen. I now hope he can give Saints fans something to smile about. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly within Scotland anyway. If released outwith a window you can't sign for another club until the next window opens, hence the flurry of releases by clubs on deadline day. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamieG Posted September 4, 2019 Share Posted September 4, 2019 Hi Dons fans. Have written a bit on McInnes and the Dons here in this piece, hopefully you don't all shoot me down, it's just my humble opinion from afar. Let me know what you think? https://jaygolds.wordpress.com/2019/09/03/able-accies-hopeless-hearts/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let me know what you think? https://jaygolds.wordpress.com/2019/09/03/able-accies-hopeless-hearts/Agree with most of the sentiment on him. I am not anti him at all and too early to judge this team yet, I think we could be fine. However, on your point about being top 6. If we miss out on Europe and do anything silly in the cups that unrest would get nasty quickly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
