DunbartonshireRed Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 Dodgiest deal of all time no matter what Data Dave says. The fact he's had to clarify the whole thing again while saying there was nothing untoward with it means there was everything untoward with it. What a shambles. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthernLights Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 Any chance they'll take Jack Gurr back as part of the deal as well? Strangest deal since Myles Anderson. I had a quick look on Myles Anderson's wiki page and he is currently at his 16th different club (Braintree) since leaving us. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Club claiming they got a "substantial fee" along with a "significant sell on" for him. Doubt it'll ever be clear exactly what kind of fees are involved if at all Aye. The over explaining lets me know there was nothing dodgy about this deal at all. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lubo_blaha Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 Shame it didn’t work. Was never given a chance by McInnes and I can’t blame the guy for wanting to be nearer his family after spending lockdown here alone. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthBank Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 In my opinion, that’s utter bollocks. It sounds like McGrath has strung us along, so getting the boot into him is totally justified.Aberdeen made an offer. McGrath is thinking about it along with other offers but Glass has thrown his toys out the pram greetin that he didn't get an immediate yes. Pretty immature and amateurish. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lubo_blaha Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 Just so you all know, this transfer was very, very legal. To be fair, fans have been demanding to know what’s happened with this deal and I don’t think they would have got away with just saying “Ronnie has joined Atlanta and we wish him well for the future”. I appreciate Cormack’s transparency but the 12 paragraph statement is probably about 9 paragraphs too long. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was never given a chance by McInnes and I can’t blame the guy for wanting to be nearer his family after spending lockdown here alone. This transfer is cloaked in mystery; however, the evidence (the McInnes preference on players that had played in the British game, and the fact that he barely played him) suggests that McInnes was presented with this player. If that was the case then I can fully understand why McInnes didn't play him. I'm not sure that the player himself (Hernandez) or the manager (McInnes) understood why he had ended up at Aberdeen. Most fans didn't either. Of course, the restrictions were tough on the player and his family. Although, I assume the family wasn't with him in Norway either. There was something rotten to the core with regards this transfer and Cormack was at the centre of it. I remember when I first heard about it one Friday afternoon and it seemed odd straight away. That Hernandez transfer news in fact indirectly told us that McInnes days were numbered. Edited January 18, 2022 by Bogbrush1903 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coprolite Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 Pesonally i think the Hernandez affair was more about Dave trying to play at being a manager and less about doing anything shady. I just can't see what the shadiness would be. Could be wrong but we'll never know. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same And I really don’t care anyway I think it’s been a bit bizarre how invested some Aberdeen fans have got in this We bought a player, the manager didn’t like him, he moved on and we recoup most of the losses Hey ho 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That Hernandez transfer news in fact indirectly told us that McInnes days were numbered.Yeah, it’s clear we became aware of this through Atlanta and Cormack railroaded it through with his own money, whether McInnes wanted the player or not. I’m not necessarily blaming DM in that situation but if we’re going to be spending nearly £1mil on a player, he needs to be a guaranteed starter before he walks in the door.He wouldn’t have been with his family all the time in Norway but he wouldn’t have been stuck in a house on his own for months on end not able to train or socialise with his teammates. A strange situation all round. Funnily enough, if we were selling Ramsay for a few million and bringing in a player of Hernandez’s ilk (sanctioned by HoR and/or the manager this time), it would probably have worked out a hell of a lot better. I wouldn’t be against us making a move like that again with the structure and staff we now have in place. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
