manc_don Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 Sh*te. Suspected he'd be out of our range but your never know. On the fringes of the City first team so did think he'd be picked up by someone else down there. Hopefully we've got the carrot of European football at the end of the year though... I like your optimism But I would have thought the fact he even made appearances for the city first XI would mean he's out of our price range. But as you said, you don't ask, you don't get. I'm sure Jimmy has a few players up his sleave. Oh and P.S. It wasn't directed at you, just an open ended question, because obviously I couldn't put Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
??? Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 With the money he's on I'm sure we can get in an able replacement. HOW DO YOU KNOW SEVERIN'S WAGE? HOW? TELL ME? HOW? HOW? HOW? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mizer Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 http://www.eveningexpress.co.uk/Article.aspx/1049212 DONS gaffer Jimmy Calderwood today warned his out-of-contract players – the only way is down if you leave Pittodrie. All five Reds – skipper Scott Severin, Darren Mackie, Derek Young, Jamie Smith and Lee Mair – are in contract discussions with the club. The players are out of contract at the end of the season and were free to talk to other teams from the start of the transfer window on January 1. Calderwood said: “With all due respect if they reject a deal it will probably be downhill from here because Aberdeen is a wonderful club. “It would be unlikely anyone who decides to move on would go to a bigger club than Aberdeen.†Dons Director of Football Willie Miller today dismissed reports Scott Severin has rejected a contract offer. Several publications today claimed the skipper had snubbed a Dons offer and was set to leave Pittodrie. Miller insists Severin has yet to be offered a deal by Aberdeen, as contract talks are in early stages. Miller said: “Scott Severin has not been offered a deal by the club yet. “Jimmy Calderwood has opened talks with Severin, but there is still a way to go in terms of finances before a new deal is offered. “These are very severe financial times, and football is not immune to that. “If a player wants to stay at Aberdeen I will do everything in my power to give them an offer within our financial situation. “If they do not we will move on, like we did last season with a number of players. “But there is absolutely no problem with Severin.†Severin’s agent Darren Jackson also shot down reports Severin had rejected a new deal. Jackson said: “I have not yet had talks with Willie Miller or Jimmy Calderwood regarding Scott. “I can confirm that Severin has 100% not rejected a deal from Aberdeen.†The departure of Jeffrey de Visscher to Dutch Second Division side SC Cambuur Leeuwarden will not open up extra money to fund new deals. Calderwood said: “Willie Miller has spoken to the players. I have never heard of these things being sorted out quickly with the first talks. “The agents will come back and discuss any offers that have been, or will be, made.†Calderwood is willing to remain patient as he awaits answers, but he wants an answer soon. “There is no deadline as such on the five players who are out of contract,†he said.

Guest ally s Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 Just the usual paper talk shite then? That must be some meeting of minds when Seve sits down to talk over his future with his agent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goldie03 Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 I will be gutted if he leaves I remember how astounded I was that Jimmy persuaded him to sign and how delighted I was when he extended his initial contract He will be missed no doubt about it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caledonia Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 Certainly won't get any more cash where ever he ends up. I would have thought the opposite as aberdeen are not regarded as big payers when it comes to players.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ajja Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 Going to be a big miss in my opinion and although not necessarily unreplaceable, it is potentially going to set us back again just as we making forward progress. Can't see the Arabs or Hivs paying bigger bucks to him than us, therefore only really leaves the old firm [ nae chance ] or the LSC who find it easy to throw big money about and then not pay folk what they're due. My money if I was a betting man would go on one of the following, PNE, Notts Forrest, Plymouth or Burnley I'd go Cardiff, its an SPL haven. Was watching the Arsenal game at the weekend and I spotted Kennedy, McCormack, Rae, McNaughton and Burke all playing. I tend to agree with ST on this one. I can see that he has been a quality player for us in spells but not consistently. Despite some good performances this season I'd be wary of assuming this is the long term trend. Ultimately I think we have had the best of him and we have replaced him with a solid and consistent midfield player in Kerr, who is increasingly impressing me with every game. It all comes down to who we would replace him with, if we get that right I'm certain the name Seve would scarcely grace the threads of DT in the future.

Just made an assumption based on the rest of the set up there.

bilbobaggins Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 John Kennedy is at Norwich, no? Whilst I really like him as a player, I think if we can get a fee for him then fair enough, I would be pissed off if our captain chose to leave on a bosman though.

Tyrant Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 So he shouts a lot. Bloo Toon is in wi a chance as well then. HEYYY! So what are we basing Seve's supremacy on then? He does fuck all.

Scott Severin The Skipper. Sevy leads by example. Quiet but when the old campaigner speaks, we all listen. Everyone has enormous respect for him which is important for a captain.

??? Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 Anyway it's typical footballer diplomacy. Nothing to go on. Jesus f*ck. So, we've got a clueless manager, a captain who doesn't know the meaning of the word, strikers that can't score, a goalkeeper called 'Clangers', no youth system, Ricky Foster, a chairman who's as tight as duck's arse, a football director that doesn't knock on enough doors, and a stadium that's falling to bits. Doomed. Doomed I tell thee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You made all that other shite about no youth policy and a clueless manager up; you certainly didn't get it from me. I was just saying that that little piece of deplomacy from Lee Miller doesn't mean he's a particularly great captain. WHich I don't think he is. Bunch of pedants.

Jesus wept, that goes for your idiotic reference to "glory hunter" too. At least he is a footballer which places a little more weight to his opinion. But Zander shouts and points a lot, qualifications above and beyond what is required I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
