Don't shoot the messenger, and I can't reveal how I know all this but the source is a coach for Aberdeen and he's very good friends with a lad I know...........

 

Hart, Nicholson, Clark, Severin and Lovell all leaving the club

 

Diamond and langfield are signing new contracts

 

Hart has apparently been offered more money by 3 other SPL clubs (Motherwell, Hibs and another) plus english clubs, he is going in Jan and our offer is the same as he is getting before no increase

 

Surprised about Barry Nic tho, thought he would stay, we need to get players in!!

 

Are these motors still a perk of the job or do the players actually waste their money on them?

DIAMOND GEEZER!

Zander Diamond today dropped a huge hint that he's preparing to stay at Pittodrie.

 

The news will come as some comfort to the fans following contract snubs from Chris Clark, Barry Nicholson and Michael Hart.

 

Diamond, 22, looked ready to join the rebels on the way out of the club after initial talks stalled. But now his representatives are ready to hold further discussions with director of football Willie Miller after the club offered him much-improved terms.

 

"I have always maintained that I want to stay with Aberdeen," said Diamond.

 

"I'm enjoying my football again and still hope to work something out."

 

Diamond has been courted by Wolves, Leicester City and Nottingham Forest but he's ready to reject their advances to continue his education in the North-east.

 

The former Scotland under-21 star feels Pittodrie is the best place to further his own career.

 

If Miller can secure Diamond's future it would go some way to appeasing the fans. The club have been grooming the defender as the next player they could potentially sell.

 

Other English clubs continue to circle over Aberdeen's stars.

 

Plymouth want Hart and have already tabled an offer of £175,000 although the Dons want more.

 

Pilgrims boss Paul Sturrock has also made a bid for Clark, believed to be in the region of £100,000.

 

But it's likely to take a double deal worth £500,000 before the Dons will accept.

 

Preston are also keen on Hart and Nicholson, while Premiership strugglers Derby County are monitoring the situation.

Maybe wasn't blessed with looks but there's obviously brains there somewhere.

 

Either that or Zander doesn't think he could handle the footballing hotbeds that are Plymouth Argyle, Preston Northend or Derby County.

 

 

Smart man that Zander. 

£275k for Hart and Clark, both with only 6 months left on their contract?

 

TAKE IT.

£275k for Hart and Clark, both with only 6 months left on their contract?

 

TAKE IT.

 

Aye, totally. Daylight robbery.

£2.75 is daylight robbery for Clark.

Nicholson drives a silver VW, might be a Touareg?  Last time I looked Smith had a BMW 3 series tourer.  Practical family cars for the modern man. 

 

Seve has an Audi saloon, can't remember the model though. Can often be seen parket outside Pittodrie.

Edit : Wrong thread

Hart drives a porsche!

He must be struggling for cash!

Hasn't he to pay for the naughty things he may or may not have been up to?

Naw, but I know he likes cheese.  Trust me, he'll need money for it...

That was Clark.

 

Naw, but I know his missus.  Trust me, he'll need money...

 

I heard Hart doesn't have a missus anymore. Unless he had more than one too.

Does.

 

Must have more than one then!

How'd you work that out? 

Magical powers.

That's what I heard.

Hart split up with his bird a while ago.

 

Case closed.

He had another after that.

EDIT!!!!

He had another after that.

 

You still walking funny?

Yeah, but she was a bit on the side, not a bird. She is what is known as "the mistress".

 

Ah, okay. Thanks for clearing that up!

You still walking funny?

 

Sneckie, I told you not to say anything about our date!

Ah, okay. Thanks for clearing that up!

 

I'm always willing to lend a helping hand.

Maybe not the most sensible of posts whilst the lad is staring divorce in the face.

 

Might be wise to delete/edit a few of the above.
