Madbadteacher Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 Surely, for one, we don't HAVE to sell anyone? Edit: And we have European football, something these no-mark clubs will likely never have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manc_don Posted May 26, 2015 Author Share Posted May 26, 2015 No fucking chance at £500k a) It's the Hun b) Neil Lemon (on purpose this time round before anyone asks...) is a cunt and probably thinks we're stupid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tlg1903 Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 I would estimate the 500k figure is coming from that's likely what the remainder of his contract is worth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tlg1903 Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 God no. He's on a two year deal, we're not broke anymore and unless he's got a 500k release fee in his deal we should treat any such offer with the derision it deserves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madbadteacher Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 I would hope the board (for tis them who will decide) would look see how much one assist or goal to get us into the group stages in Europe is worth, compared to quick cash, I hope they look at all offers for our players like that. We don't need to sell anyone! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't need to sell anyone! I still think there will be an onus to sell, they clearly agreed something with the banks about future player sales and it would seem strange for their not to be a time limit on that. Whilst I don't believe they'd accept something as ridiculous as £500K, they may see £800K or so as acceptable. I have my suspicions that they were hoping for an approach for Jack but didn't get one so made sure he signed another year. From what I heard it was AFC that stalled with Jack's contract and not the other way round. I was surprised that no one asked at the AGM what the details of the future player sales agreement with the bank was. I don't believe that the bank will be pressuring AFC to sell players in the way that would have happened in the past, but I think it's a debt/agreement that they'd want off their back as soon as possible.

Can't say I know much about him But with Daniels and Jshau gone, Ando retired, we do need a bit of cover. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reidzer 1314 Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 Yeah I think we were. Used to play for Motherwell before moving to Cardiff for £300k. He then spend a couple of seasons at Doncaster before signing for Ross County. I know he can play both CB an RB so he would give us cover in both those areas which is good.

Would hope for players that would add to the first XI though, but maybe deek knows something we don't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyrant Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 I honestly don't think Deek will see the CB positions as ones that need to be improved as far as the 1st XI is concerned. He'll be happy with Reynolds and Taylor. Quinn providing competition for them is good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jute Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 With Anderson and Joe leaving think we need one centre back. Quinn being able to cover at right back makes him a perfect option Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thestooge Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 If we're genuinely looking to be title contenders, squad depth is absolutely essential. If Quinn is in to provide that defensive depth as both a capable RB and CB deputy, I think he's a solid player to sign at a good age. If he's in for the first team, he's not who I'd have picked and he's certainly not going to increase season ticket sales. He's basically a better, more experienced big Joe.

tlg1903 Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 What my county supporting pal thinks. "He's a full back who has lost his pace which is why he now plays in the centre... good header and will score you goals from set pieces but he'll also make a mistake which will cost you a goal every 2/3 games from what I've seen..."

hilton Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 Quinn is good squad signing need bit more experience at the back with Anderson gone. nae signing shout about but one we needed. there will be more exciting signings to come. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tlg1903 Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 Player losing his pace by 29 strikes me as suspicious.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thestooge Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 When was Quinn pacey like? I've always thought of him as a big solid defensive type rather than a nippy wide man. Essentially he's a right sided Considine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RicoS321 Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 He's never been pacey, but never particularly slow either at Motherwell anyway. I wonder if McInnes just wants at least one fullback that isn't fleein doon the wings. I think the balance (or imbalance) of Logan on one side and Considine on the other is quite a good setup and gives us good cover at the back. If Logan leaves, then we'll have Shinnie getting forward and Quinn staying reasonably deep. I remember being a very good defender at Motherwell, but don't remember even seeing him for County. Keeping track of County players is more difficult than memorising PI however. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edinburghdon Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 Spoke to one of my workmates who's a county fan, his take on Quinn was: "Solid in the air, positionally very good, has a bit of pace about him and can actually play a bit as well. Was improving all the time throughout the season" Seems to think he would be a great addition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
