You'd like to think we should always be doing our homework and for example have in mind who replaces Ferguson if someone bids £4M for him on Monday morning. "We always work two windows ahead". You have to believe that's garbage when we pick up Taylor etc. Saying that it would have been two windows after Main put us out of the cup 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We probably did but all money raised is now going on debt. Free transfers and loans will be all we can afford until the pandemic ends 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

orfc Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 4 hours ago, HarleyQuinn said: Not true. Cosgrove had 6 months left on his contract and Carlisle were happy for him to leave in January as they didn't see a future for him at your club. We'd already agreed a pre-season contract with Cosgrove. Carlisle wanted 30k (development fees) for his immediate transfer in January. And as Dave Cormack told me 18 months ago, Carlisle are due NO % of any future fee we may receive for Cosgrove. Be interesting to see who's right, either we pick up £500,000+ or our chairman is outed as a liar. Either does me :-) https://www.newsandstar.co.uk/sport/19040714.cosgrove-future-back-spotlight/ Chairman Andrew Jenkins last year confirmed Carlisle retain a “financial interest” in the ex-Wigan man, which could benefit the Blues in the form of a sell-on clause. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A financial interest does not necessarily mean anything as big as that sort of percentage. It would have been crazy for Aberdeen to agree to it for a player they already had signed up for nothing. It could even just be the FIFA solidarity payment which is normally a small amount split between the all club's he developed at before he was 23. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You would hope, or that there's some names in there ahead of him for 3rd as well. Evening Express has McInnes saying it'll be a loan signing so Stewart seems unlikely to be coming this month anyway.

I know this isn't how fitba works, but it would make me a lot happier if there was a wee black book somewhere under lock and key at Pittodrie where the names of players who have committed evil deeds against our club are recorded, and said book was consulted before any potential transfer to ensure no unacceptable c***s darken our door. Although Mulgrew has since turned out to be a bit of a bellend, he was our bellend back then, so f**k Lafferty and his cheating pish and the Ibrox fog that afflicts referees and allows that shite to happen. Not that I'm bitter or anything.... 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I presume there's a bit of face saving from Carlisle. There should be questions asked on why a player (who wasn't rated by their staff) went to a higher level for peanuts and was then sold for around 100 times that figure. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
