Where did the suggestion come from?

McDonald is the one with the option not the club.

It's can be easily cleared up by the club. They confirmed we would receive compensation for Hall quick enough on twitter.

Great point Nigel.

If we did offer Leitch a deal in time we would be due 265,000 Euros.

Must have missed that. Got a link?

People who give the club their hard earned money year in, year out?

Where are you getting this from?

This a major black mark against Burrows if true. The amount of money is more than the season ticket increase. A slap in the face to the support.

I actually do the read thread and I can't arsed going back to find the post but if you do you'll see that was Busta's theory and not based on anything other than a hunch. There has been nothing i've read or heard, in public or private, that suggests we do not want honour the deal with McDonald.

We haven't freed Scott McDonald.

U23. Hutchy was 23 when he left as well.

Murphy was too old for compensation. Agents and players are wise to the rules and make sure their contracts don't expire when they are 22.

Last July he signed a deal for season 2015/16. The deal also gives him the option to sign for season 2016/17 on the same terms if he chooses to do so.

Moore and Blyth are in the same bracket as Moore, Clarkson and Fletcher last year. It's possible that they will contribute nothing.

The option with McDonald was the players choice not the club. Why do people find this so difficult to understand? Moult's option is a club option.

Nicky Law. Even McCall can't get pished enough to sign his brother again. Jash is still signed with us but hopefully has been told to GTF.

How big a loss is McDonald? He put in some great performances over the 18 months but just as many terrible ones. He was completely unfit for the first three months of the season. Some of the strops he threw on the park were embarrassing and probably won't be tolerated anywhere else. It shouldn't be difficult to bring in someone who can match his contribution across the whole season.

Pearson played most of his football out wide for us in his first spell. Right now I think Cadden is best suited to playing on the right with a freedom to roam and use his engine to impact all over the park without having the responsibilities of a center mid role. I'm actually excited to see Cadden next season. He was already our best athlete but with a another preseason and the motivation of knowing his career is really kicking off he should move to another level.

He could possibly be back in January again.

He's Scottish.

I'm glad to see McGhee recognised we need a right back and that Kieran Kennedy will give you 100% every time but he's not anywhere near the required level yet. Goalie, left back, two centre mids.

It's shocking. I put the 6 o'clock news on and every cunt was talking about some referendum pish.

I think Aberdeen brought more last season but in the context of having a chance to win the league it was still a mediocre support. If Hearts are on form they'll bring more I think.
