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."

As long as he keeps performing on the pitch I don't mind.

 

Que?

Que?

 

It was a joke

Sorry!!

 

Jesus H Christ. Some tough talking there 

 

Its ok to have an opinion, as long as its what you want to here, otherwise you are just a spastic 

 

Should have know better then to slag a weegie in here, must disturb the love in 

 

Anyway saturdays performance only further shows the fact that certain players were blatantly not trying under Mcghee - they will get found out for what they are in the end.

 

Goodwillie, The dundee lad and sammon all being touted for big moves, maguire not even being mentioned by anyone other than himself, But of course we are the ones that have the wrong opinion 

 

Good een

 

 

Didn't we turn down £600k, For Maguire, from Cov about three years ago?

Think it was more like £300k

Just because he's not being touted for a big move doesn't mean he's not good enough for AFC.

 

The club has invested time and money in the lad and it looks like they're finally beginning to reap the rewards from that.  In that time they've probably let a handful of other young lads go that weren't showing as much promise as Maguire.

 

Regardless of your thoughts on Maguire, it would be foolish not to offer him a new deal or cash in on him at this stage.

 

I really don't see what the arguement is here?

As you well know, it's nothing about having an alternate opinion if that is a genuine opinion, and having everything to do with certain posters being contrary for the sake of it, to get a response from everyone else. I believe it's called fishing and I believe it got extremely fucking tiresome some time ago.

 

In short, just give it a fucking rest, eh?

In the same thread where i said that i wouldnt be bothered if he signed a new contract...............

 

Excellent stuff

typical example of why the hell should maguire stay?

 

he gets constantly bashed by his own fans - even though we all know its down to their own aberdonian insecurity and general jealousy of all things glasgow - so why should he stay here?

 

he doesnt owe any of us anything.

 

hes finally beginning to add consistency to his undoubted ability and all you morons on here are doing is driving the guy away

It was more aimed at your sidekick...

Dunno if this is just a dig at Stoney but that's a lot of shite!

 

Insecurity about weegies?? Get a grip min!

I was thinking about this point over the weekend, its been mentioned before and i think its quite accurate.  I reckon there were quite a few players that found it hard to motivate themselves under Mcghee.  Personally speaking i find this understandable.  I have had plenty of cunt bosses that have inspired me to do the bare minimum.

its not though my man.

 

in a thread belittling maguire, some yahoo was bashing on about how considine was man of the match and had a rampaging game at full back.

 

you work it out.

The same folk who will tell you Mackie is Pish, Stuart Duff was a waste of breath and Foster isn't any good at all! Then tell you Fergie is a god along with Alex McLeish (I won't mention Willie Miller here)

 

Its starting to sound like Neil Lennons Living room in here!

 

Its not an anti weegie conspiracy, they are just plain wrong (or should I say have a different opinion to me?). But.

We just ignore millertime now, i can only assume its a mental health issue.

Must be like looking in a mirror.

At least im honest about it 

 

 

Saturday was the 3rd game in a row in which Maguire has been the best player on the park by some distance.

Insecurity about weegies?? Get a grip min!

 

In fairness to MT, I think this defensiveness is a hangover from AFC Chat, where their hatred of all things Glasgow borders on the pathological.

Now there's a thing, always wondered where that bollocks came from.

Back of the net BB, 100%.

 

We are all able to see that Maguire has been fairly up and down over the last few seasons after some major early career hype. Its not unusual for a young player to suffer that, particularly if he has an ego. McGhee will not have been good for him and sending him to Killie was a solid kick in the nuts that will have been hard to take but may have actually done him some good. 6 months ago I doubt many would have been bothered if he left but now Brown has come in and Maguire is performing, the game has changed. That might be superb man management skills, its more likely to be contract pending performance but it shows what we have in the player if we can harness it and that means he is worth trying to hold onto.

 

It takes intelligence, humility and understanding to be able to change your views when the situation changes. I'm sure it's not too challenging to surmise where these two posters are struggling with that.

I have stated on more than one thread on more than one occasion that maguire has been playing well since Brown took over. But hey lets go back to insults again, its more fun that way
