DrewDon Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 I have been very sceptical about that account in the past because it is usually either fairly non-committal stuff that would be difficult to fully disprove, or something Scott Burns reported ten minutes previously. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what I thought too but I'm sure JJ Bull said on the herewego podcast that he spoke to someone at the club and they didn't know who the person running the account was and they were actively trying to find out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tarapoa Posted May 4, 2021 Share Posted May 4, 2021 (edited) Ronnie-watch.........played for Atlanta United II in Oklahoma City at the weekend. They gave some fringe players from the big team a much needed run out. https://www.dirtysouthsoccer.com/2021/5/3/22415810/atlanta-united-2-defeats-okc-energy-fc-1-0 Edited May 4, 2021 by tarapoa 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also how many aberdonians leave the city. I think only one of my school pals still lives there, the rest in glasgow or edinburgh. I was initially tempted by a ST and I could afford the ticket alone, but I dont drive and so cant justify the travel and time out my weekends. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This pretty much describes me, but must admit that my interest in all things dandy has fallen off a cliff this season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure I heard on here he had already bought a house in Dundee where he's from a while back so it might so it might just be a case of settling down rather than cash. Aberdeen seem to have upgraded on signing players who were decent up here 4 years ago to just the one so progression imo. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd imagine you'll be offering a very competitive package but he's just had another kid so if he's decided he doesn't want to relocate it means he can commute from Dundee, get a decent pay bump compared to what he's on just now (but less than his dream move to Celtic) and while he's a confident guy I'd imagine he'll feel he'll be a guaranteed first name on the team sheet at Aberdeen, which may not be the case if he moved South to a Cardiff or whatever. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully you're right but flipside of that is at his age it's probably his last chance to get a high earning contract. It's a decent signing if we're paying him a reasonable amount. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welldaft Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 He is at the stage in his career where family and security are probably on a par. If he was early 20’s I am sure he would take his chances to move south and further his career. imho opinion this would be a good move for both parties. Dec is a damn good central defender. Probably as good as Aberdeen could get for the package. He has international experience and may get more. I would prefer him heading south but understand why he would choose a more local option. Underwhelmed a couple of fans say ! Q Aberdeen fans now expecting to be competing with Euro superpowers for players. It is what they do....get ahead of themselves. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swello Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 I'm not hugely surprised that Dons supporters would be whelmed about this TBH - Gallagher has been hugely underwhelming this season compared to last. If he recaptures his form from 19/20, they've got a great signing - if they get the 20/21 model, they've got a jobber Premiership centre half. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Almost every Motherwell fan is on your page saying they couldn't care less if he leaves for Aberdeen. What is there to be excited about? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you can point out where me and A N other said 'underwhelmed'' literally on this very page then... the bit of your post I quoted is still drivel. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
