‘Players won’t leave Aberdeen FC because we’re too nice’

Craig Brown’s transfer dilemma

By Charlie Allan

ABERDEEN FC boss Craig Brown today admitted his bid to make new signings in January could be scuppered because he can’t get players to leave the club.

 

Hearts, who drew 0-0 with Aberdeen at Pittodrie, are poised to lose several of their squad when the transfer window opens on Sunday because they haven’t been paying their wages.

 

But Brown fears he might not be able to make the changes he wants because his fringe players get treated too well by Aberdeen FC.

 

So with January on the horizon, who would you like to see leave and possibly be brought in as a replacement?

 

I'm hoping we've finally seen the last of Mackie, because i'm yet to see this pace that the commentators still talk about, which was his only "asset". I don't actually think we need another striker because I think Chalali might come good when he gets a run in the team. Certainly impressed me against St. Johnstone. I would also welcome back Maguire, just to get a bit of service to the strikers, especially since he and Vernon seemed to form quite an understanding last season.

We were watching Michael Uchebo but would be surprised if he came over for a trial.

Hes a striker, so I doubt very much we would have him here on trial............oh hang on

Northsound reporting it is Daniel Uchechi

 

Chima Daniel "Danny" Uchechi (born September 14, 1989) is a Nigerian football forward currently playing for Nigeria National League side FC Dender.

 

Been on Loan to Leicester City and Sheffield Wednesday in the last 12 months.

He was here last summer, no?

Aye, and from the ever reliable resource that is Wikipedia, his loan spell got cut short in November?

However, Uchechi quite admits that he has not achieved his aim of going to Sheffield.

 

"Sadly, I found out that League One is not a football playing league. It's tougher than it is made out to be. You have to be well equipped physically to succeed there so I have not really achieved my aim of coming here.

 

"We all know that Nigerians are more technical but League One and Championship is more like kick and follow and we are not well adapted to that system."

 

 

Fit is he doing here then!!!!!!!!!????

Liam Mcleod suggesting Aberdeen are in for Gavin Rae again.

 

According to the club that is the end of business for the window - unless there is a silly bid for Fyvie.

Am I the only one who thinks the club should tell him to GTF and play with the youths for his last year? He's not important enough to the team to warrant the ass-kissing route that Arason, Aluko & Maguire got.

 

We'll get the same amount of money for him whether we play him again or not.

 

Youths at the club need ot be taught a lesson or this will keep happening. Did AFC not refuse to work with a particular agent (McNaughtons one?) at some point? This guy needs the same treatment.

Aberdeen FC today (Thursday 28 Jan) pulled off a major signing coup with starlet Fraser Fyvie penning a new three year contract at Pittodrie.

 

The 16 year old, who last night became the SPL's youngest ever scorer, has signed a deal tying him to Club until 2013.

 

Fyvie made his first team debut at just sixteen years and six months when he started in the 3-0 win at Hamilton Accies earlier this season. He has since gone on to make 13 appearances for the top team, with his goal at Tynecastle last night his first senior strike.

 

Director of Football Willie Miller said: "Fraser is a fantastic talent and we are delighted he has committed his immediate future to the club.

 

"He has made a big impact since coming in to the team and, given that he is so young, it makes it all the more impressive.

 

"Fraser represents all that we are working hard to achieve in nurturing our own talent through the Youth Academy, and this is great news for everyone involved in that setup.

 

"Peter Pawlett also signed a new long term deal recently, and we have players like Michael Paton and Chris Maguire who have come through the youth ranks as well. Nicky Low made his debut at Tynecastle last night too, and there are many more players coming up behind who will follow suit."

Obviously the second paragraph was very literal.

I thought he HAD signed an extension?

 

You might be thinking of Jack?

 

He's a fud if this is true. He's not been the same since his injury and arguably not as important anymore. It's not like we're short of centre mids....

 

Edit: Isn't there a ruling where you can only sign 16 yr olds for no more than 2 years at a time? Or have I made that up

Yep you're right I was thinking of Jack, sorry.

I'll take a fee now thanks, I fully expect a bid if he's turning stuff down tonight.

 

Enjoy Blackpool.

Yep, agreed.

£500,000

How much (compo) did we get for Bebo?

£400,000 was the quoted figure.

Decent replacement though.
