Not sure he had the best of seasons last time but midfield is an area where we needed to strengthen. Jack is injured half the time, Davis can't go on forever and Kamara may well be lured to the bright lights of the EPL. I thought you about 15 midfielders or have you freed some (never bought some of the ones that were rumoured). What are you counting Scott Wright as?

Fairbairn Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 Jordan Jones signs for Wigan on a 3 year deal. Was never good enough. Just surprised he didn’t hang about and run down his contract before leaving on a free. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His agent can't be very good if he is going by a shake of the hand or gentlemens agreement and that's why I think Ferguson Snr is lying Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kumnio Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 I don’t understand why players, agents etc don’t understand what a contract is. You signed for X years, so unless the club decides to end it by selling you, or paying you off, you honour the bloody thing. Im obviously not an Aberdeen fan, but Ferguson is worth more than two million to them, so they are right to reject it, and act in the clubs own interests.

I said thr same thing with Josh Doig. If Ferguson was brought in for little money (cant remember what fee he was but assuming it wasnt massive) then its only normal for him to get a low wage. He has developed and his value has increased as evidenced by Aberdeens own valuation so its only proper that his wages increase as a result.

Fairbairn Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 Rangers apparently in talks to sign Juninho Bacuna from Huddersfield. Think he was rumoured as a target last year so obviously one that's been on the radar for a while. Don't know much about him but hopefully he's a playmaker type as we're lousy with Davis/Jack/Kamara/Lundstram type midfielders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It all seems very strange, they apparently met the release clause, but Hibs them decided it wasn’t valid for clubs within Scotland. Looks like nothing more than the agent playing a blinder and Aberdeen knowing nothing about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fast, tricky, lots of goals & assists. He also has the potential to turn into the Invisible Man during games. Get the best out if him & you'll have a very good player on your hands, fail to that & you've got a wage thief. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
