saintcraigieboy Posted January 17, 2019 Report Share Posted January 17, 2019 Surprised at Aberdeen’s interest. Definately have to eat my words as I just wasn’t seeing this and he has been brilliant this season alongside Kerr (maybe ando was the weak link?). Felt he was too weak, no leader etc etc. But he can give it the GIRFUY to me. hope he stays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, whatever nationality he is it's another example of how our wee team and TW gets the best out of a young project who has blossomed. If I was a young decent player sitting on the bench for a "bigger" club I'd be wanting to go to Saints for game time and development. yes... that is a rational view... but money (and agents) talk. agents don't care about development of a player. they just see a fat weekly wage & their commissions. MOH is a classic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would take some money for him now as we have cover & as we are safe would allow us to prepare for next season. gingermunkie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Difference between top half and bottom half, once you work out money per position/potential away crowds, is apparently at least £250k. I couldn't see Aberdeen paying that for him in January. He wouldn't perform worse after agreeing a deal, he'd remain committed until he left. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree with all of that but you are assuming we will be weaker. I am sure Gordon & Ando for cover we will manage fine. We would miss Joe as cover for RB but sure we will cope.

cristo Posted January 17, 2019 Report Share Posted January 17, 2019 I'd hate to lose Joe, especially to another club in our division. However, Liam Gordon would slot straight in there, and as mentioned above, Ando still has plenty to offer. In fact I'd be more than happy to see Gordon and Kerr get a run in the team together. gingermunkie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garydavidson Posted January 17, 2019 Report Share Posted January 17, 2019 Was wondering when gap would open up for Gordon, didn't take too long it seems. Liam for Captain? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruno Strasser Posted January 17, 2019 Report Share Posted January 17, 2019 Never understood why they let Joe go in the first place. He was as good as if not better than anything they had. If I were a Dons fan I would be asking some serious questions of Del. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Templar Saint Posted January 17, 2019 Report Share Posted January 17, 2019 Hopefully Joe will ponder Aberdeens move for him and speak to others like Liam and Danny about bigger wages but grass always not greener. Also Del dumped him and he has progressed at Saints. Sign on again and get a bigger move down south. Havana Saint 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ss75990 Posted January 18, 2019 Report Share Posted January 18, 2019 I would be surprised if he went back to Aberdeen. Considering he left Aberdeen after being frustrated with the lack of games he was getting to then coming to us and playing nearly every game since and now club captain. If he did leave, Aberdeen must be offering much higher wages than we are Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMac Posted January 18, 2019 Report Share Posted January 18, 2019 If the rumours are true, so be it. Loyalty has got zip all to do with it, money is the God in the modern game. I am sure his agent is his dad !!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blueheaven Posted January 18, 2019 Report Share Posted January 18, 2019 Can't say I'd blame him for going to Aberdeen. It's a club and manager he's already been with so that takes a lot of risk out of it, he'll get a higher salary, and chances are he'll also have more chance of on-field success. He's been a great player for us over these last few years and I think he'd go with everyone's best wishes - but it's a real pity as he was really developing here and I'd seen him as the next in the recent line of players who have stayed with us for the long haul and racked up a couple of hundred appearances. I know we have some cover but I think that if he goes we'll need to go out and invest in an experienced centre-half/leader figure over the summer. gingermunkie and Valentino Bolognese 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That may well be the case but what else would you expect him to say in such company? I don't think 'Thank God Aberdeen have come in for me as I can't wait to bugger off' would have gone down to well! The concept of loyalty in football is as outdated as two points for a win. It's just a job and I don't blame any player for moving for an increase in pay, especially when it's like to be substantial. Joe's given Saints 100% in his time here and you really can't ask for much more from any employee. If he stays, great. If he goes, thanks for your time and good luck to Liam.

Right first of all, who says Shaughnessy is actually going anywhere. It’s all speculation and rumours. Secondly, who the hell is Watson? dave mc and PauloPerth 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruno Strasser Posted January 18, 2019 Report Share Posted January 18, 2019 If Joe has had an Offer from Aberdeen he will be gone. If he does turn down a chance to double his money because he loves Saints so much can I change my Hall of Fame nomination. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
