ABERDEEN FC defender Zander Diamond’s season is over.

 

Aberdeen FC manager Jimmy Calderwood today confirmed Diamond will require surgery to the ankle injury aggravated during their 2-0 defeat by Celtic in Glasgow.

 

And it looks as if it’s going to be a triple whammy for Aberdeen FC, because it’s feared Jamie Smith and Derek Young could also sit out the rest of the campaign after suffering hamstring injuries.

 

Calderwood said: “It’s the same ankle problem that has been bothering Zander for some time.â€

There's such a tired inevitability about this that you have to imagine any slim chance of a new contract has now disappeared altogether.

Smith Must Go!

 

Good player when fit, but when is he ever actually 100% match fit?!

 

I think it's got to the point where even a pay as you play contract might be a waste of time - at the minute he's taking up a wage and a spot in the first team squad that could be better used elsewhere. It's no use to him or us coming back for a game or two or then doing his hamstring again. Cheerio.

Completely agree. Thanks, but goodbye 

Lets face it no-one has an issue with smith as a player but enough is enough

He doesn't do that often enough!
