Thom & Gerry Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 Sorry to hear that. Generally has played well this season but prone to a clanger every game, usually dwelling on the ball too long. Likes to play football but if he learns to clear his lines when needed then you have a decent player. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gordon9736 Posted January 10, 2021 Author Share Posted January 10, 2021 I'm sure Gav tried to keep him, but Peterhead probably offered him a better deal. He didn't play much after the start of 2020 after we got Graham on loan from Dundee Utd. Hopefully he's got something similar up his sleeve again. A pity because he was good, but I agree with T&G, esp after so many players buying into Gav's plans and signing new/longer contracts 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
afca32 Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 Well that came out of the blue. A good player who I think should do fine in League 1. A good defender, though maybe slightly lacking in pace. He's very comfortable on the ball which is a positive but can be frustrating sometimes. As said above he often puts us under pressure with slack passes to goalie or defenders or thinks he's Xabi Alonso and attempts a 70 yard diagonal. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
afca32 Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 (edited) Good to have some news to post especially when it's so positive. A 3 year extension for Soapy, which (if my maths is correct) would take him into a 17th season in the first team. 4 times Supporters' Player of the Year, 4 times Players' Player of the Year, over 400 appearances, over 75 goals and supposedly resisted a few full time offers over the years. We will be lucky to have many players like him in the future. My favourite ever City player and if anyone deserves promotion it's him.

Thom & Gerry Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 Yeah good news. Helps attract other players when they see quality players like Soapy remaining. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thom & Gerry Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 Think Arbroath almost certainly but they are not full time. Wonder if the court case hanging over him might put some off, or has that been sorted? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right there sam cosgrove seemed to be alright for them but seems to have fizzled out and he has interest from stoke i think so theyd probably be happy letting him go to them so may possibly be a space for hester there 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be an excellent addition to Aberdeen’s squad. Always thought Cosgrove was a haddie most of the time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RossBFaeDundee Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 That's us noticing breadcrumbs that may indicate and interest in Hester, though they could well just be breadcrumbs we've placed ourselves tbh. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
