If the Dons are in for him I'd suspect he has a release clause and i'd suspect it's less than reported in the media. Very raw. Physically strong and runs the channels well. Hold up play is ok but he tires really quickly because he's not played much football....both this pre season and generally in his career. He's a player though...just not yet. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Real Saints Posted August 13 Share Posted August 13 Aberdeen FC are doing my head in. Do your own scouting work and stop taking advantage of ours, you lazy b*****ds. Having said that, imagine if Pete O'Rourke's total fabrications are being picked up by the mainstream media and there isn't any interest from Aberdeen whatsoever. Just imagine that. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going back to McInnes’ time there when he took our goalie coach, physio and sports scientist as well as several players (and failed with others like trying to get Shaughnessy back), get f**ked Aberdeen 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes indeed, 'Football Insider claims the Dons are ready...'. A total non-story, just like 99.9% of Sidibeh reports since the end of last season. Very predictable. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RandomGuy. Posted August 13 Share Posted August 13 Sidibeh would be better staying with us for another 6-12 months, letting his body adjust to full time football, and develop his all round game, IMO. He does that then he go a rung above Aberdeen from us rather than going to Aberdeen then trying to move on from there after another adjustment period. But I don't think his agent has that sort of thought process in mind and just wants to milk as much out of Sidibeh transfers as he can. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SJFCtheTeamForMe Posted August 13 Share Posted August 13 (edited) But but but but... Yesterday it was a done deal to Derby County? Last week it was a done deal to Swansea? Which club haven't they claimed he's moving to? The agent has evidently had contact from employees at these clubs and turned those into "stories". Eventually one of these stories will probably be true but we're well past cried wolf territory now already Edited August 13 by SJFCtheTeamForMe 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I don't think his agent has that sort of thought process in mind and just wants to milk as much out of Sidibeh transfers as he can. Your last part is spot on; I genuinely feel quite sorry for him. Being a young lad from Gambia, playing in the 7th tier of English football, he was always going to be vulnerable to characters like McKay. While agent's trying to tout their players for a move is not a new phenomenon, he is clearly just trying to milk him for every penny that he can. That's now nine clubs he's been 'linked' with, all by the same journalist. I'd like to think someone at the club would be in his ear giving him a wee bit of advice, but I fear his agent has him brainwashed. Time will tell I suppose. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Real Saints Posted August 13 Share Posted August 13 (edited) It's fascinating to see the standard of journalism in this country. P&J falls for an opportunistic fabricated report from Pete O'Rourke, and now PLZ Soccer picks it up from P&J. No research going into anything whatsoever.

He's rising too quickly and will eventually come to a stop because he's not developing at the same speed. He needs to get better all round. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PSJ.84 Posted August 13 Share Posted August 13 Was almost worried when I saw the Daily Record had tweeted it, assuming it was Scott Burns or something. Far more relaxed in seeing Football Insider listed as the source. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnoswald2712 Posted August 13 Share Posted August 13 Think there’s no doubt that the agent is planting these stories in the hope that someone will bite. From our perspective, this isn’t the problem it could have been in seasons gone by. We still have Benji, Kirk, Clark and Ikpeazu and any funds will hopefully get us a decent midfielder and maybe even some defensive backup. While I won’t be disappointed if Adama is still a Saints player after the window closes, I’m not going to lose any sleep if he leaves 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidReid01 Posted August 13 Share Posted August 13 Just going back to when we signed him, there was lots of talk about all these League one and even some Championship clubs lining up for him at that point… probs reckon that was just the same nonsense that’s being posted now. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broughty Posted August 13 Share Posted August 13 All these stories are getting a bit silly. The club needs to come out and confirm if there is a release clause or not. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
