David Posted April 23, 2024 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2024 3 hours ago, grizzlyg said: I also find all the talk about Theo very interesting. Cue start of season and the guy was being written off before he had kicked a ball. I confess I was also a doubt but I wasnt on slating him. I feel we are far too early to judge players though I guess all clubs are the same. Vale was criticised before signing and looking now like Halliday will be the next boo boy, it takes time for players to settle so let's all give them a chance. Remember.....shouting and booing a player is hardly going to help their confidence. It should be pointed out that there's a huge difference between us signing a player, fans looking at his previous record and discussing how he's performed up until that point, how we think he'll do for us and so on, and actually booing him at a game. The former is a large part of what being a fan of any club is all about. Chatting about speculation, looking at previous stats and so on and discussing how he's done until then and guessing how he'll fit into our squad and setup. If we all stop doing that and only discuss players once they've signed and only strictly discuss how they do for us, and even then only how they do for us after an agreed-upon period of time to allow them to settle in, we'd be as well binning this forum and others like it. It's like the investment thread and the individuals who keep saying, "Let's wait until something is concrete before discussing it." What's the fun in that? If you don't want to discuss it, then don't log in. Go and wait in the corner for official confirmation before weighing in. Leave the rest of us to pass the time discussing signings, speculating about new owners, and generally talking shite. It's what fans have done since the game originated. Previously, it was only done in pubs and workplaces; now, it's done online as well. It's all part of the fun of being a fan. 3 hours ago, wellgirl said: I boo no one. Never have and never will.

robsterwood Posted April 24, 2024 Report Share Posted April 24, 2024 Aberdeen want 8 mil for miovski He scored 15 last season and also top scorer this season but no where near that tally season's before.

Surely its acceptable to post that although a players record at his previous club is poor, you are happy to see what the manager can do with him and judge him then. Or opine that without the full information regarding investment you dont have a position one way or the other? These are both opinions. Not everything is black and white.

Aberdeen won't get 8 mil for miovski. 750k is a big amount of money for a club with us maybe with a few more goals to end the season we can get closer to 1 mil but the club aren't going to reject that could sign 4-5 good players with that rather than keep 1.

In fairness though, the very fact that he plays for Aberdeen, and before he even kicked a ball, automatically means he's a very good player. That's worth £1-2m alone.

He's also more of an established international than Bair and has scored 24 goals this season, including four in Europe. He's not worth £8million but he's probably getting on for being in the region of £3 - £4million as an overall package, maybe not in straight up fees.

grizzlyg Posted April 24, 2024 Report Share Posted April 24, 2024 Aberdeen got £4.5 for Calvin Ramsey and about same for McKenna so they might get that for Miovski also Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StAndrew7 Posted April 24, 2024 Report Share Posted April 24, 2024 To get back to us looking at signings, I worked in Accrington for just shy of 3 years and keep tabs on them as a club, as a few colleagues were fans and I went along to some games. They've got a winger there called Jack Nolan who I (think) is out of contract in the summer. He's scored 15 goals this year and could be in our price bracket. I guess it depends on other interest and what system Kettlewell wants to play next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steelboy Posted April 24, 2024 Report Share Posted April 24, 2024 Miovski's a much player than Bair. He looks like he chucked it after January this season but still turns up against the Old Firm to keep himself in the shop window. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still think Bairs worth more keeping him even if it ends up a January deal. He's got pace and composure and is intelligent player. We wouldn't get 4 or 5 players. More like 3. But even then it may be guys like Wilkinson and Ollie Shaw. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
