Ira Gaines Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 Nobody should be saying he didn't choose Aberdeen. He obviously did. The reasons are definitely up for debate though. Aberdeen are a bigger club and can pay more money, which is basically a short way of what Dindeleux was getting at. Are you suggesting that this isn't right? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamamafegan Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 Is this a joke that you've committed to for about 5 years now or do you genuinely just have some deep yearning for Aberdeen to win the league?It is a deep yearning. It runs so deep man. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I take it the transfer window slams shut on January 18th nowadays and had to make a decision today. Maybe he did pick Aberdeen over us..........I'm just guesstimating as to what has happened. I'm pretty sure Birmingham will have said that X club (or clubs) are the only ones willing to pick up enough of your wages so if you want to go out on loan here are your options. If it turns out that us and Aberdeen have offered Birmingham the same amount and the player has chosen Aberdeen over us (given his own comments about working with SSC and his experience up north last year) then I would be surprised. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aberdeen absolutely spunking the money to try and scare off teams around them, they're apparently offering Joe Shaughnessy a wage over double what we can offer. Your forgetting, no matter how much money they offered Birmingham, the player has to agree to go there first..... so he did choose Aberdeen. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expect it's mostly financial, but he was coming on to a game with us by May 18 and there are different opportunities with Christie, Maclean and Rooney all away. Killie have looked after him well and i still want you guys to finish second, so no hard feelings eh? #TB4 is for all of us mate, hopefully its a #TB4 top 3 at the end of the season. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is correct, but if his choice was Aberdeen or continue to train with the U18s then I'm pretty sure he would have chosen Aberdeen. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It happens in football, especially when your a small successful club. We'll do the exact same to a team further down to replace him, probably. Have to agree with you on this one, clubs the size of St Johnstone & Killie can't compete in the same market as any of the City clubs when it comes to wages. But nothing to stop us competing on the pitch & punching well above our weight..... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this likely to be a loan before a permanent contract or is Stewart keeping himself fit and in shop window in hope of getting another club in England. Be a helluva wage cut for him to go to the Dons on a perm. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He gets his full wage regardless, whether Kilmarnock pay 20% or Aberdeen pay 40%, Birmingham are contractually obliged to pay the remaining amount. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aberdeen will have a real go at a title challenge now, Cosgrove on form with Stewart alongside him could be perfect. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless the player agreed (which he clearly hasn't) to sacrifice the difference to stay at Rugby Park. I have no idea if contractually they could make that offer to Stewart and say "Look Aberdeen want to pay 50% of your wages, Killie only want to pay 25%. If you are that desperate to live in Onthank you can sacrifice 25% of your wages to go there". -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
