Better not mention the £5million they spunked on Rafael Scheidt. Think it worked out at a million per appearance and that's before you factor in that they had to pay up the remainder of his contract before releasing him Edited July 13, 2020 by Sheep62 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Presumably it’s the big Edinburgh clubs ......so who have Spartans and City been chasing ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've already been over the fact that the sheep mind does not comprehend concepts like football & finance. When a sheep leaves its flock or herd, it is usually referred to as an auction, rather than a transfer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

starryfish Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 Cosgrove is away to England. We've received an improved offer from last week. Talks are being held with his potential replacement. A signing that should please the fans.Kyle Lafferty? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ferguson and Cosgrove are staying as a result of the sale of McKenna. Club believe they can get good money for them next summer. Will see if I'm actually in the know or not hopefully this week. So on June 28th Canada's version of Walter Mitty was informing us that Cosgrove was staying. Today the Pittodrie mole on AbMad informs us that Cosgrove is leaving and then along comes the furlough fantasist with more of the inside track. I'm not going to deny that his posts aren't eagerly anticipated but only to see where he's s going with it next. He's a confidence trickster, he says so much things that he'll get a hit. I'm starting to wonder if he's ever actually been to Canada... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure you're an expert on how a sheep's mind works but lets get back to the football Shinnie and McLean are two perfect examples of Aberdeen's failure to sell a house that Milne built. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We got £400k for mclean and got him back until the end of his contract. In terms of maximising what we could get for an out of contract player that's fantastic. Don't really care what the two mini cheek yo yo clubs have got for players to be honest. I'd rather we didn't sell any good players. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s not just him, I hear that point being made on podcasts over the years too but there’s no indication that decent bids came in for any of these players. We may have got bids for them but were they enough to sign a long term replacement capable of performing to the same level. As much as we’d all love to get good money for key players if they’re to leave sometimes getting another season out of them performing well before leaving at the end of the contract can be the better option. Mclean being a case in point. We got 300k and another half season of him when he was probably in his best form for us and arguably was our best player. If we’d sold him at the start of the season or even the prior season I’m not convinced we would have got that much more for him and we definitely would have struggled to replace him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact that 25 years ago your biggest asset was sold for £1.7 million and ewe lot haven't had one since is a major flaw in the set up at Aberdeen. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Outside of the old firm how many players have sold for more than that since? It’s not that common. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
