Brown turns to Fergie in bid to build dream team at Aberdeen FC

CRAIG Brown today revealed he has turned to Sir Alex Ferguson to help him build his Aberdeen FC dream team for next season.

 

Brown has contacted the Manchester United boss in an attempt to source a potential loan deal for a rising star at Old Trafford.

 

Aberdeen FC boss Brown said: “I’ve been in contact with Sir Alex to sound out if he has any players who could be available to us for the new season.”

For a change he should say fuck all. A manager should say absolutely fuck all about any signing until such times as the broom cupboard picture has been taken and the player is officially an AFC football club player.

 

Aye about specific players I agree. But the manager's not to blame for the classic lazy journo tactic to produce chip paper. Either he says yes, no, or avoids answering whether he'd like a Man U loanee - the last of which will be taken to mean yes or no depending on the day's EE agenda.

 

It's the Hayes/Hasselbaink blethering that I have a problem with. I always thought we were allowing agents to use us to talk up their players so that they'd then owe us a favour, but we never actually seem to call the favours in if that's the case :hammer:

To be fair to Brown, he has managed that most of the time he's been here.

Aberdeen manager Craig Brown’s number one target Jonny Hayes has been offered a two-year contract at Pittodrie.

 

The 24-year-old Irish attacker, who has also been offered a new two-year deal by Caley Thistle, held contract talks with Brown and Dons chief executive Duncan Fraser yesterday.

 

Aberdeen have also been given the go-ahead to open contract talks with Nigel Hasselbaink after the Dutch attacker rejected an offer from St Mirren.

Brown has had discussions with Sheff Wed over taking Reynolds on loan next season.  He thinks Dave Jones may think Reynolds is not tall enough to play CH in the Championship.  His wages have also rocketed due to their promotion and Brown believes they may wish to put him on loan so they get some money back on him.  Although if that's the case... why not just sell him?

Probably because no cunt would sign him.

 

He's been remarkably poor since he's got here.
