Hilarious that players are only worth what certain other players cost (some are more than a year ago). Ferguson is worth what somebody else is willing to pay. Aberdeen are under no pressure to sell. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They just had to stop building their new stadium cause they don't have the money to do it. They now have to raise fifty million for it. On what planet is that "a strong financial position"? And why on earth would any club pay more for Ferguson than McGinn, Turnbull and McKenna went for? See what I mean about delusional. Ridiculous. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You barely got that for McKenna and Cosgrove combined. Watford would rightly laugh you out of the room if you start talking pish like that. Not true, with clauses tied in to both we should be getting near 7m for Cosgrove and McKenna, just need a few things to pan out. Ferguson has played 139 games for us, 21 goals and 28 assists, he's still 21 and has 3 years on his deal, lets look at John McGinn who benefitted from 2 years in the Scottish Championship (lol) he played 137 times for Hibs, scored 17 goals and had 29 assists, he went for around £4m and is now valued at 7-9 x that, Aberdeen have every right to look for as close to £5million as possible. Also big lol at fans of inferior teams telling others to just accept what they are given, one of the major issues with Scottish football and why it doesn't grow and become more competitive, shit like what you are spouting, incredible. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My favourite is when he repeatedly called Aberdeen delusional for turning down an offer that was 0.5-1.5 million below his own estimation of what the player is worth. And that's only if the higher quoted figure of the two reported offers is true. You can tell he's very genuine and not just arguing any old shite in bad faith because he loves the attention. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also being lost is that Ferguson would meet the homegrown player quota. Yes, there are better players than Ferguson they could sign but if they're English it's going to cost more. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With clauses you might get more for Ferguson too but he still isn't worth even the same let alone more than those two. Aberdeen have every right to look for four billion for him but they aren't going to get it. McGinn went for 2.75 not 4, and he is worth more now as he has proven himself thoroughly at a higher level. He was also a full international. We are in a deflated market post Covid. Two is perfectly fair. If Aberdeen weren't so deluded they'd negotiate up to 2.5 and bite their hand off as nobody else is going to pay more. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No I called them that for describing it as "insulting" when it's nothing of the sort and is a fair and realistic opening offer. You need to learn to read what you're replying to. I never mentioned turning it down and described it as an "opening gambit". 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watford will be looking at the level Ferguson and McGinn have come from and comparing stats etc. McGinn is now seen as a £40m player. Watford will likely be more than happy to gamble a couple of million if they see the same potential. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not delusional to to hold for 5m, McGinn got his call up when the midfield of Scotland wasn't that good, now Ferguson is fighting for a place when the position is at its healthiest in a long time. Post covid is a lot of shit as well, do love that it's fans of crappy wee teams that are all too happy to flog their best assets to celtic and rangers for rubbish fees that are saying what is best for Aberdeen here. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tarapoa Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 (edited) Dundee United fans seem to like to pin the "delusional" label on us. Then they will go back into their caravans in places like Kirriemuir and Letham and speculate on who is going to pay £3m for Shankland - who managed one goal against a top six club this season. Good luck to the traditional Dundee city club tonight................one less plastic pitch on the top flight would be nice.
