Dons_1988 Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 Adam [emoji22]Right decision in the long term but I’ll miss that ginger beauty. I’ll never forget nearly ending myself falling down the stairs at tynecastle when he put us 3-0 up against saints. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll never forget nearly ending myself falling down the stairs at tynecastle when he put us 3-0 up against saints. Not sure if he would be able to score that type of goal again - so much slower now. I think it is the right decision as well as he isn't a first team regular now and for me it isn't a bad move for him with a 3-year deal, pay-rise and playing every week. Expect a new signing in the next day or two but if not then I'll panic like other dandies Edited July 19, 2018 by betting competition 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrewDon Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 (edited) Rooney probably got better in the minds of the fans when he wasn't playing last season, especially as May underwhelmed, but I think it is the right move for him at the right time. It is a poor level at which he can play regularly and hopefully score plenty of goals, and he also increases his income at the same time. I'd imagine we will have a new striker arriving in the next couple of days. Ideally it would be before the West Brom game so we can get them some time on the pitch pre-Burnley.

troopio Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 Judging by the comments on FB this move is the end of the world....Personally I think it is a move that suits both parties, he gets a chance of more regular football and a secure contract, he was no longer a regular and time was catching up with him, better for him to go with good memories and will as opposed to staying around 1 or 2 years too many.... lets leave the press and keyboard warriors to their OTT reactions over the apparent embarrassment of an SPL Player going to a non league club, lets put things in perspective, 90% of the teams in the national league premier are Full Time, Salford and Harrogate who got Promoted as well were both FT in National League North such is the money and resources available down south at the moment. I get so tired of the England/Scotland league argument, England is a country of nearly 50m people us 5, if we put the same effort into loving our league as much as we argue about their one or the old firm things might actually get even better. FWIW as a club I think AFC have done the right thing but personally I am not so sure I trust Mcinnes as much if that makes sense? His results speak for themselves but this season is not going to be so easy, his transfer record is not the best and he is not renowned for putting faith in younger players from within the club so I truly hope he gets it right in terms of a replacement and he doesn't just loan in some total random who will never play. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrebleTwenty Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 (edited) The rage from fans on social media regrading this is cringe, I wonder if it is the same people, that scream abuse at the game towards Rooney being a Carthorse? If the reported fee of 300k is remotely true, then it is a good deal for us. Can't blame Rooney for wanting to move on at this point in his career. Good luck to him...

Jute Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 Still think it is madness to let the only natural finisher at the club go without an adequate replacement already being signed. Good luck to Rooney. He will score a lot of goals at that level. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck to Rooney. He will score a lot of goals at that level. You say 'that level' yet there is a movement every close season to and from our top flight to it. Will be interesting to see how their entrants - Sutton Utd and Boreham Wood - fare in the IRN BRU Cup. I'm not saying it's the equivalent of our top flight but it won't be a huge distance off it at the lower end.

senorsoupe Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 Always liked Rooney, even though he played for Celtic's closest rivals, good luck to him. Aberdeen will be desperate for a striker I would think, they have now lost 3 of their top 4 goalscorers from last year who represented over 40% of their goals 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AFCDannyFTH Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 Rumours that Reynolds is out for 6 Months. Already thin squad gets even thinner. We're going to be toast this season unless we make a few pretty significant signings. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingjoey Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 As has already been said on here, probably a good move for both Adam and the Dons. Wish him all the luck in the world, and will miss him. ROOOOOONEY! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did hear that but I found it hard to believe he's done a medial or cruciate ligament given he played on for 5-10 minutes after the injury. I'd wait and see on that one. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
