NorthBank Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 The only pressure at Aberdeen is not to finish in the bottom six. Win the League - no chance. Win a cup - same as the rest of us. Europe - same progress as Dundalk ie 2 games a year. Where else is the pressure? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sergie's no1 fan Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 A bit of context. I don't think he says anything that should get our backs up to be honest. He's had his pants pulled down by the agent and therefore Jamie too, so he's tried to save face after the rumours coming out saying it was a done deal ect. He was a player, he knows exactly how it works. Sadly its the way it goes, every club has been shafted. Hopefully works in our favour this time if an English team gets him on a PCA and stump up a bigger fee than Aberdeen would have. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shuggie_Murray7 Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 Presumably McGrath's agent called Glass and said "Listen Stevie mate, I've spoken to Jamie and he's really concerned he won't be able to handle the pressure of playing for Aberdeen so we're going to look for a deal elsewhere." f**k me. I get that he'll be far from happy at being used as leverage by an agent, but for f**k sake. At least make your excuse make some sense. A simple "we had a look, made an offer and he didn't give us an answer so we've removed the offer and are looking at other targets" would have done. Amateur stuff from a guy who has struggled with the pressures of being at Aberdeen. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthBank Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 The guy that sits next to me at games recently had 3 interviews lined up. Does he accept the offer from the 1st interview and forget about the other 2 especially when his skills are in demand? Or does he attend all the interviews then decide? Why does being a footballer not allow you to shop around for the deal that suits you best? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 Has anyone lived in Aberdeen? I have, trust me it's enough of a reason not to sign for them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I was being charitable, I'd say a particularly crispy rowie with a touch of butter is one of the finer things to come out of the place. Not a nice place to live for all sorts of reasons. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lex Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 That’s us signed Alex Grieve, he must have impressed in the trial. Hopefully he keeps up those goal to game ratios… 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coventry Saint Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 We seem to have spent ages looking at him, so there must be something about him. Wil be interesting to see what he brings. Can we all just note the "ei" spelling if his name, though. Let's not have another 'Morais' debacle. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RossBFaeDundee Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 Fair play, that's some opportunity for the lad considering he's coming from the New Zealand 2nd tier. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torfason Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 If he can hit a ball with any sort of power or accuracy he beats Main and if his first touch is better than a brick wall he beats Erwin……………..not the highest of bars but there you go. Welcome Alex Greive. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is what gives me confidence. Why would we go to the trouble of bringing an absolute jobber half way round the world? Seems extreme if he's not really showing up well in trials. Of course, the flip side is Jim's record for signing mediocre strikers, so who knows what we're getting here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Munoz Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 (edited) Welcome aboard Alex. If he continues his scoring ratio, he'll be away in the summer. Edited January 18, 2022 by Munoz 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 18 months...so if he proves successful and gets attention from bigger clubs, he will leave on a free. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
