Sheep62 Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 (edited) Firstly no quotes attributable to either Shinnie, AFC or Wigan in the supposed exclusive. That aside it has been patentedly obvious to all Aberdeen supporters that Shinnie is going to leave, so might as well get it out in the open now. AFC survived before Shinnie and will certainly continue to do so long after Shinnie leaves. Disappointed, would have prefered him to stay, but we move on and upwards.

I'm confident that we wouldn't get the most out of Allan, doesn't seem hard working enough for how McInnes plays (see G. Stewart) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodhull Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 Wigan sounds about right. He was never going to get a move to one of the bigger/top of the table championship sides so a move to someone like Wigan/Sunderland/Portsmouth always seemed most likely to me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I would think that the main consideration by Wigan, is that Shinnie is twice the player that Davidson is. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tarapoa Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 (edited) I recall one of my less glamorous work assignments when I used to get punted all over the UK on various jobs, was a couple of months stint in Wigan. There is a certain charm about its historic northern soul scene - but in reality it's a largely run down place with rugby league the only show in town for most locals. The ground is nice enough inside, but fairly soulless and next to a retail park and barren wasteland. Still, they have the legacy of time in the EPL and dosh behind them - so a relatively lucrative and pressure-free move for Shinniesta in many respects. It's very disappointing (particularly as the club gets no fee), but at 27, this will be the difference for him between needing to make a living after football, and being able to be in a position to put his feet up and take as much time as he likes.

RussellAnderson Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 I remember when he signed. I was over the fuckin moon. I thought we’d never be able to attract a player of that quality. I also remember when he signed a contract extension, again overjoyed. It’s better to have loved and lost, than never to have loved at all. I’ll be interested to see where they decide to play him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rodhull Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 Record claiming us and Celtic are after Mctominay. Not that i think it’s likely but i take it the only one loan from any club is a domestic rule only? Obviously as we have Wilson from them already. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d31 Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 Little known fact but you dont actually have loans cross broder. They are transfers. Hard to see us having a chance on that. Surely stay in EPL 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hard to see us having a chance on that. Surely stay in EPL I can’t see anyone besides maybe a smaller side like Huddersfield, Brighton etc having much interest in him. I’m sure quite a few in the Championship would though so would imagine that would be more far more attractive than us.
