Coventry Saint Posted June 2, 2022 Share Posted June 2, 2022 Just had this pop up on Facebook memories. Already four years since this summer of absolute insanity. And there was worse to come. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jm1 Posted June 2, 2022 Share Posted June 2, 2022 Guti offering to resign after being caught in Viennas after a League Cup group stage loss to Queens Park would've still been much better than Stubbs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember being in the Florida Keys at the time and wondering if somehow I'd slipped into an alternative dimension. Was Patrick Kluivert not being rumoured at one point as well?! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coventry Saint Posted June 3, 2022 Share Posted June 3, 2022 (edited) This article says Goodwin/Aberdeen are close to signing a left-sided centre half. I don't recommend clicking the link - the adverts and obtrusive pop-ups make it barely legible - I'm just including it as a source. https://www.scotsman.com/sport/football/aberdeen-very-close-to-defender-signing-as-pre-season-plans-announced-3716880 However, I wondered if anyone knew if they're still after Dunne? If there's a fee involved I certainly wouldn't be too bothered. Banging on about having a left-footer at the back was one of Goodwin's things. Weirdly, another of his things was playing literally everyone across the back away from their natural positions, completely destroying any 'balance' he had sought in the first place. That was some laugh Edited June 3, 2022 by Coventry Saint 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djchapsticks Posted June 3, 2022 Author Share Posted June 3, 2022 No chance of it being Dunne. He said it will be a signing that will get the fans excited, I think by contrast they'd have pitchforks sharpened if they paid us six figures for Dunne. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buddie06smfc Posted June 3, 2022 Share Posted June 3, 2022 In a world of ridiculous transfer fees, £350k for Charles Dunne is by far the most outrageous. I’m all for ripping off Goodwin but at least make it realistic. Hopefully Dunne kicks up a stink about being held back or priced out of a move and player power pulls trump. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Munoz Posted June 3, 2022 Share Posted June 3, 2022 (edited) If there's an ounce of truth in this article (IF), I'd be pretty content that we're not letting contracted players leave on the cheap. This has been happening for years and its about time that we start holding out for more cash. Edited June 3, 2022 by Munoz 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GAD Posted June 3, 2022 Share Posted June 3, 2022 Everyone on here and Twitter needs to shut up. Of course £350k is a great price for such an excellent player. Would he a travesty to let him go for a figure so low, but we shouldn't be standing in the way of such a good move. 16 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely, it is a step up for him to move from our modest facilities to the more advanced rehab facilities Aberdeen have. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
