As to Burns, he has some history with Hibs of "suggesting" we are after a player, they are signed by someone else, then runs a story that Hibs were "beaten to the punch" - happened at least twice and we have been told at AGMs etc that Hibs ended the interest in said player. Dons fans reckon he is accurate with them, so maybe he has better contacts there. I'd imagine that SOD signing up with us works on a number of levels - it's already been suggested on our thread that there's a fair chance he'll see a portion of the phree munney we get from UEFA in compensation for him being away with Scotland (€8000 per day apparently). If he doesn't have a club I doubt that compensation exists since it seems to be awarded to clubs. Also, we're not the sort of club who will stand in his way if he gets a better offer over the summer as long as we get some sort of compensation - it's pretty much our business model. So in that case it's a win/win for everyone. Edited April 14, 2021 by capt_oats 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've felt for a couple of season that a lot of his punts end up out for a throw or nowhere generally. I'm maybe being harsh but I think we'd agree that him, Taylor and Considine exchanging passes a long our own 18 yard line is a good way to instigate a bowel movement. I genuinely that was a symptom of the team dallying on the ball and then giving it to Joe. The opposition were now all comfortable set in their positions and any long pass from the keeper becomes low percentage. Agree with you on the three of them playing the ball about. It's a different story with the younger guys though. Campbell, Ramsay and MacKenzie are all very comfortable on the ball in tight spaces which is a testament to the coaching at youth level. 40 minutes ago, Frank Grimes said: Isn’t Scott Burns an Aberdeen fan?

Compared to Langfield, big Joe's passing is Pirlo-esque. I think he's pretty good at clearing it with both feet, I don't shite it when he receives the ball like I did for years with previous keepers. I agree though the combo of our current CBs and him passing across the goal is a bit nerve wracking. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think it'd be any surprise if he has an offer on the table but Burns doesn't explicitly say Aberdeen have offered him a contract. Yeah I think the wording has been changed but who knows it was late, maybe I read into it more than was there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously even if terms have been offered I know there's a big difference between a contract being offered and it being deal done. I'm sure we've offered deals to plenty of players over the years that haven't ended up at the club. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
