Illgresi Posted March 8, 2023 Share Posted March 8, 2023 Wtf is 50% deal for free? Free transfer and Benfica get 50% of any fee we receive? Bidding starts at £10M in that case. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coprolite Posted March 8, 2023 Share Posted March 8, 2023 Presumably under contract and won't be sold to the first club to bid six figures. If he goes for £5m and we keep half we could get almost a whole team of Jayden Richardsons for that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DukDukGoose Posted March 8, 2023 Share Posted March 8, 2023 'Dons fans have taken Duk to their hearts' Published 18 minutes ago Liam McLeod, BBC Sport Scotland Every football supporter has a cult hero from the past. Some are lucky enough to be able to enjoy one in the present. For Aberdeen right now, that man is Luis Lopes. Signed from Benfica last summer, it became apparent that the Dons had stumbled upon a star in 'Duk', Lopes’ nickname which he has taken from his father. Dons fans have taken the 23-year-old from Lisbon to their hearts and it’s easy to see why. I didn’t realise just how good his finish at Tannadice on Saturday night was until I caught the replays later that evening, but it should come as no surprise to those who have watched his scoring exploits this season. He doesn’t appear to score run-of-the-mill goals with his equally spectacular finishes against Ross County and Rangers also taken straight from his top drawer. Aberdeen have been lucky to have had many talismanic figures down the years. The brief period of the late Zoltan Varga in the early 1970s is frequently regaled by those who were around to witness his short stay. The Dons were fortunate to have him, as he was serving a ban in Germany where he had been playing for Hertha. Outwith the team that won two European honours in 1983 and so much more during that decade, others to have achieved talismanic status at the club are the likes of Derek McKay, who scored the winning goals in the Scottish Cup quarters, semis and final itself in 1970, Davie Robb, Joe Harper, Frank MacDougall, Paul Mason, Charlie Nicholas and Hicham Zerouali. Some enjoyed great success, others didn’t, but the latter are still remembered fondly for their time at Pittodrie. Duk and his strike-partner Bojan Miovski have scored 26 of Aberdeen’s 43 league goals this season and if the team had been able to defend, and there are signs of improvement in that department, they would be battling where they want to be. With Duk in the side, perhaps they still will. I'm sorry but what the f**k does that bit in bold even mean? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rodhull Posted March 8, 2023 Share Posted March 8, 2023 I'm sure there'll be some clauses in the deal but the club definitely reported paying a fee for Duk so not sure what the free but with 50% claim is based on. Portuguese guy guesting on one of the Aberdeen podcasts recently said he thought the fee was 400k with no sell on percentage so who knows what the truth of it is. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reporting the betting odds is probably a fair sign of not having more of an idea than the average punter. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrewDon Posted March 8, 2023 Share Posted March 8, 2023 This is presumably the same players who were contacting Cormack to back Goodwin a couple of months ago, and some of the same players who called Cormack after Dens Park to save Glass. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
