WILLIE MILLER admits Aberdeen are fighting a losing battle to hold on to rising star Chris Maguire.

 

The Pittodrie club are desperate to keep the striker who is out of contract at the end of this season.

 

But football director Miller revealed attempts to negotiate a new contract have failed so far.

 

Miller said: "We have been trying to get Chris around the negotiating table for the last 18 months but he has so far refused all our approaches.

 

"The fact we began the process so long ago shows how highly we rate and value him.

 

"We were showing faith in Chris long before this season and he has shown why we knew he'd become a top player.

 

"But I doubt if we could offer him good enough terms to stay."

From the EE...

 

Aberdeen FC offered Maguire a new two-year deal but had asked him to let them know by the end of this week if he planned to accept it. It is now expected Maguire will confirm he has opted for a move to England.

Bets on when he ends up at Kilmarnock/ICT/St Johnstone/AN Other shitey SPL club; one season from now or two?

 

Ah well fuck him, wouldnt say no to adam rooney.  21 goals this season and actually looks like he gives a shit about the team rather than his ego

Is he out of contract?

He is but doubt we could afford him!

Go to Derby then Chris (ever been there? It's a shitehole)

 

Just don't look too jealous/upset when we're in Europe in 2012/13 season and you're out on loan at Chesterfield.

 

Ned!

That will be League 2 Champions 10/11 Chesterfield?!! Come on you Spireites!!

I'm willing to bet that he'll go to whatever team JC is managing by then.

According to the Hun it is all set to go ahead.

Looks like the deal is done and he will be signing for Derby. Hopefully We get the comp we deserve and Brown has something up his sleeve in terms of signings as he needs to get the players in. :-)

Wrong type of player for L1, Derby won't go up with the likes of Maguire up front and I doubt Maguire will  get played much after the first couple of weeks. Championship and L2 you can get away with being a bit lightweight and teams that like to pass too feet do better on average in those leagues. L1 is a bit of an anomaly in that it is largely where the biggest and most physical players who still have a bit of talent end up.

Aren't Derby in the championship though?

R.I.P  A.N. Other promising scottish talent

 

Taken from us prematurely to die on its arse on a subs bench in the lower english leagues.

 

See you in five years Maguire, playing for Morton or wherever.

Good news. Don't want him with us. He doesn't want to be with us so he can fuck off.

Agreed. Don't see what all the fuss is with him......he thinks he's better than he is and has too big an ego for someone who hasn't the skills to back it up!

I'm talking about next year , I definitely did not get Derby and Preston mixed up in my head  .

Aberdeen have warned Derby County that they will report the English Championship club to world governing body Fifa if they refuse to pay £400,000 in compensation for Scotland striker Chris Maguire. (Various)

 

Didn't something similar happen with Chris Porter?

How stupid is he when he is trying to break into the Scotland set up and asks to leave the squad to go get his medical. Way to impress the national coach.

On what grounds can Derby refuse to pay the compo fee?

Just because he's shite.

They think he might have lost a yard of pace.

Nice positive way to look at this, cheers

That's what i was wondering. Surely it's a mandatory thing?
