I see BB has posted that Maguire and Milson have been offered been offered new contracts but what about the rest of them.  Am I correct in saying Langfield, Diamond and Aluko are all out of contract, along with McNamee?  Also we have Smith till the end of the season on loan but I think he is contracted to Norwich for another year, I presume very little chance of keeping him.  Anyone else out of contract?

Thanks for changing the subject padre, it was giving me nightmares remembering that performance

 

Still, doesn't detract from the point that I don't think we'll win anything with him in goals.

I don't think Langfields to blame for our lack of trophies. He's had a brutal defence in front of him for the last two years, you can't polish shite. He's made some great saves in recent games and he's honestly started to look a lot better since Leighton returned.

 

Sacking Leighton was the worst decision McGhee made during his time as manager.

I'm in complete agreement with you on your last point and the the fact he had a shite defence in front of him. But there were many occassions even when he had russel and zander when he was playing well, he was still a liability. I'd be happily proven wrong this year, but I just can't see it.

No-one is blaming Langfield alone for our lack of trophies.  His attitude and general pishness don't help though.

A brutal defence, yes, but they haven't been helped by his total inability to come off his line and command his area.

 

He has looked a bit more "with it" since the return of Leighton. I saw Langfield saying he was pleased to have him back even though it meant he had to go back to wearing black boots... the reason Leighton told him not to wear white boots was that it makes it easier for strikers to see where his feet are and therefore can help make their minds up where to place the ball.  As soon as Leighton was sacked he was back wearing the white boots... what does that say about his attitude?

Thought exactly the same when I read that

Speaking of bottlers.

Read that earlier, disappointed there was no mention of Hertz bottling the double in 86.

Look out for the Football Years on STV in a few weeks 

Back of the Evening tonight has a quote from Brown saying he wants to keep all 7 players who's contracts are up.

Langfield >Walker>Warner

 

All played behind shite defences, which would you like us to be playin,g at their "best", in the current team?

Think he has to say that as squad to small for him to have a player not trying because he is not staying past the summer. Hope its that anyway. The  thought that Brown rates some of these clowns would be a very depressing one.

Very enlightening BB, re boots.

I'd hope it has to be good man management, something the club hasn't seen in a while.

Aluko offered new deal with Aberdeen FC

Maguire considering improved offer

 

Published: 02/04/2011

 

SONE Aluko has been offered a new contract by Aberdeen FC.

 

Manager Craig Brown had planned to put all contract talks on hold until after their Scottish Cup semi-final clash with Celtic at Hampden.

 

But Brown confirmed winger Aluko has now been offered a new deal. Scotland international striker Chris Maguire is also considering an improved offer from the club.

Punt them all!!!!

 

What a shower...

 

BBCs Liam McLeod says its both 2 year deals they have been offered

So annoying - without going into the argument of if they deserve it, 2 year deals do nothing for the club.

Agreed, but they must be a bit wary after the last three year deal they splashed out. Hopefully both will sign.

Sign them and sell in January would have to be the financial plan.

We should do what Hibs did with Scott Brown and sign him on a ridiculous contract, piss him off, and then sell him to Celtic/Rangers/Championship for a ludicrous amount of money.

 

Brown £4m, Fletcher £3m, Whittaker £2m, Murphy £1.5m. That's £10.5m they've netted from outbound transfers in the past four seasons. But they still refuse to spend any money on new players. Aberdeen take note!

 

Supposedly McNamee is out of tonight's game.

 

Really don't think it is worth our while offering him a contract for next season. we've enough troubles with injuries without him.

Agreed. On his day a decent player but injuries mean the decent performances are few and far between. Would be better off with Foster at right back and use the cash we would have offered to McNamee to keep Smith.
