JimThorburn Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 Maclean has now signed for Annan I think I remember this lad at Galabank last season and at one of the Hampden games. Looked like a good player. What do you lads think? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If/when we go professional that will change - along with a lot of other more important things. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hampden Diehard Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 Re Michael Ruth, I think thats a bad move. Aberdeen aren't renowned for bringing kids through, look at Lawrence Shankland, he wasted three years of his career at Pitoddrie. Ruth might benefit from the full time training but there's a big risk he'll get lost in their youth system, he would get far more out of staying at Hampden for another season and getting 30/40 first team games under his belt. Anyway, hope he proves me wrong.I hope you're wrong too but I share your concerns. The bigger clubs are hoovering up young Scots talent but filling their teams with readymade imports. Shankland had to step back to make his mark and arguably it's his time at Ayr that's made him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hampden Diehard Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 In cases like this could we not ask the player and their new club for a season's loan back?With his full time training nearly 200 miles away, we're more likely to see him lining up against us for Cove or Elgin. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hampden Diehard Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 Which is entirely Queens own choiceAm I correct in thinking that the deciding factor is that it has to be a full time contract, something that's going to affect all part time clubs? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neilly Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 Yer man Moonglum saying on our thread ex QP to be announced in the coming days. Midfielder or forward. I've plucked McKernon from thin air is he still kicking about? I also heard the other day we are looking to get Summers back after the Swann deal fell through. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FWIW, Aberdeen paid a fee for Shankland when United did not for Robertson and Conolly. Would not be surprised if that was the case this time as well.https://www.heraldscotland.com/sport/13110430.aberdeen-agree-terms-over-shankland-move/ Robertson himself insisted that United paid a fee; ditto Spittal. But we didn't get a fee up front from United for Robertson, like Aberdeen gave us for Spittal. Thompson refused that. Their concession was we get a percentage of any sell on fee. They obviously did not foresee him being so good that he left for Hull City after one season. They ended up having to pay us far more than we originally would have happily accepted 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DukDukGoose Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 On 6/15/2019 at 22:27, big al said: Completely disagree. How on earth is he going to develop by playing another season with the same dross as last season? A great chance for the lad to develop at 1 of the best clubs in Scotland. You mention Shankland, but the reality is Shankland has come out of it all pretty well, yes not with Aberdeen but obviously something has worked that he’s had a great season at Ayr and there’s a few Premiership clubs who would like him in their team. Shankland had his chance at Aberdeen but he sadly wasn't good enough. The move away did wonders for him as he wasn't dislodging Rooney any time soon. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hampden Diehard Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 No just has to be a professional contract. Can be part-time.Could be that the sums increase where the player is full time. Could be I'm talking mince. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bring Your Own Socks Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 Maclean has now signed for Annan Very disappointing. He was giving Roberts hugs and "defo back next year" at the last game. It's a shallow pond in many ways. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a shallow pond in many ways. That's football. Probably did have every intention of coming back, but Annan will be offering decent terms for guys to go down there and play. He's maybe had a look at who else is away and sees Annan as a better shot at challenging at the top end. A short career for these guys and they've got to be selfish about it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Professional football. We can't keep asking managers to do well on a Saturday hopping on one leg and an arm tied behind there back. Successive committees have ignored the grotesquely huge elephant in the room for many years (don't start me on the timeline regarding the stadium) but we cannot go on like this. Berwick won't be back in the SPFL and if Rovers or Cowden go down they'll be overtaken too. If we just stand in line waiting for our turn we deserve to go down. It's painful to watch. Being completely Amateur just isn't an option anymore. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps you could tell us where we are going to get the money to pay the players when we are losing our major source of income when we sell Hampden to the SFA? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
