saintlyscot Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 I assume you mean langfield... I wouldn't have extended his contract. I can totally understand signing Reynolds and considine though. Both are very good SPFL premiership level players. It's not always about protecting losing players for nothing, it's about building a team, showing it's going to be kept together and therefore ensuring everyone buys in to what is trying to be achieved. I get the building a team and buying into it ethos. It is obviously something that is the plan at Pittodrie. With money being so tight it makes imo zero sense to have players tied up on long deals unless they are top young talents. One or at most two year contracts suffice the way the game is.

ZoltanBuchan Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 I'd give Reynolds any deal he wants, he's the best Scottish centre-back currently playing in Scotland. A new deal for Jack would be manna from heaven. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rossy Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 Whilst it is obviously sensible to tie up young promising players on longer contracts to protect resale values the lengthy deals handed out to the likes of Langford,Considine and Reynolds to name but three make none on age and/or ability grounds. Who is going to buy these players? It is just eating up budget for the next few seasons. Considine and Reynolds have been an integral part of a defence that has had something like 10 clean sheets in the last 12 games. And Considine isn't even playing in his proper position. Reynolds is one of the best defenders in the country, and Considine gives 120% every game and comes under the category of 'model pro'. I'm quite happy to have both of them at Pittodrie for a while yet. Ta. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AberdeenAngus Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 I get the building a team and buying into it ethos. It is obviously something that is the plan at Pittodrie. With money being so tight it makes imo zero sense to have players tied up on long deals unless they are top young talents. One or at most two year contracts suffice the way the game is. There must be a fair possibility that the likes of Pawlett and Jack will move on. Tying up the more senior pros is making sure we don't end having to replace the best part of a whole team should any of them get an offer from elsewhere. As much continuity as possible is the way forward as we won't be crashing out big fees. Bit strange that a St Johnstone fan is concerned about Aberdeen's contract strategy.

deecie Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 Johnny (Johnny) Hayes and andy considine have also signed new contracts, until 2018 & 2017 respectively. Hopefully Jack is next. Hayes is fantastic news. Considine is reliable enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cove_Sheep Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 A racist mandate? Is that what it's called when 2 members of the KKK go for a pint together? He seems to think Scunnered has some kind of racist mandate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Us Dandies have been shouting for a left back for yonks and the Club goes and signs 2 on the same day! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
