accies1874 Posted August 15 Share Posted August 15 A real loss to the league. It's a shame that he didn't get to play under a manager who's actually good (we don't know about Thelin yet), but he got his moments in Europe and at Hampden. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
conboyhibs Posted August 15 Share Posted August 15 Well played Aberdeen. Pretty much a perfect example of a working transfer strategy. Sign a rough diamond for a relatively low fee. Get a couple of excellent seasons out of them. Make a huge profit. Jealous. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jealous. *investors should note that past performance is not a guarantee of future returns It's not all that long ago ( not even 20 years) that we were looking enviously at Hibs' ability to monetise their youth development as the way forward. Player trading is quite high risk and the stakes we're playing are increasing. If we can make it sustainable i'll be delighted but it's early days. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludo*1 Posted August 15 Share Posted August 15 Does it almost make the Goodwin era worthwhile? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Despite what that charlatan keeps telling the media, the signing of Bojan Miovski had ZERO to do with that clown. The only two players he was 100% behind in that season were Scales & that dumplin Anthony Stewart. All others due to HoR Darren Mowbray. Jim Goodwin LOL 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My only slight bewilderment is why Girona didn’t go after Lawrence Shankland? Or anyone for that matter. Fatty Arbuckle will leave for nothing next summer. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Goodwin LOL That’s probably a bit unfair, he’ll have been part of the sales pitch to get him in the door. and in fairness if Goodwin has one strength it is talking a relatively convincing heap of shite to someone who doesn’t know him. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
behindthelens Posted August 15 Share Posted August 15 Might be of interest to some Dons. Barry is now at Queen's Park and done a piece wit the media team ahead of Saturday's game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

STFU_Donny Posted August 15 Share Posted August 15 Not many players I keep tabs on after they leave The Dons but I’ll follow Miovski’s career and hope he reaches the very top. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ric Posted August 15 Share Posted August 15 From an opposition point of view, somewhat disappointing this money will come to Thelin, as you feel he'll have a far better idea of how to spend it than Warnock would have. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps, I do have a bit of a blind spot with that muppet. Either way, I'm sure the Aberdeen fans (at least just now) will feel the money will be in better hands under Thelin (assuming he gets a decent chunk of it and who it gets spent on). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbf it's only been Aberdeen, Celtic and Motherwell who have consistently been able to get good fees for their players for about five years now. Each team will have the odd example (Dykes at Livi, Nisbet at Hibs, Taylor at Killie) but the three mentioned at the top are clearly doing something right on a consistent basis that no one else is.

That's fair, I actually thought they'd done better in the past five/six years because of their two £20m+ sales (and they're just about to make another one), but most of the others were probably less than Celtic staff/fans would've expected at some point. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(someone please come in and tell me I'm wrong) To be fair to the **** (first time for everything I guess), they managed to pull off daylight robbery by receiving a combined total of £31.5M for Patterson and Bassey. The mind boggles. Obviously delightful to see that they've completely spunked that away with absolutely f**k all to show for it of course. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
