Player contracts and transfers

Tbf Swanson was pretty pish for a spell, I think it was after his move to Hibs was confirmed that he turned it around, he was superb during the end of season run.

Aberdeen's unofficial twitter with a cracking dig at the Arabs 

[541ntees 658]

would be interested to see if it came down to a straight choice between Wright and Swanson?

we all know the quality that Danny possesses but Tommy did say that he wouldnt come rescuing Danny if he left again and Wright looks a young bright prospect

His form dipped but there were mitigating circumstances.

Is he not just a loan ?. Being a bright young prospect is no advantage to us.

This. I'm fairly sure he's just signed a new long term contract at Aberdeen aswell.

I think we know what we get with Swanson & there would be more chance of him being here next season.

Fwiw this morning McInnes apparently said Wright isn't going anywhere

not surprised hes become an important part of their team. Pawlett on the other hand is a player id bring back, tho id fear that would push scougall back out wide

[Guest ScottMann]

So that's Naismith away to Hearts. We weren't told we couldn't have a meltdown if he went there so...booooo Brown's a skinflint...booooo Tommy should have signed him...booooo we've no ambition...booooo we're going to get relegated...boooo boooo and thrice booooo. St Johnstone...grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr...

How does he know. I was hoping he was going to northern Ireland.

2 questions.

1.  Why are you so desperate to be rid of our most successful ever manager?

2. Who, realistically, do you believe can come in and do a better job?

1. I am fed up with the negative football he serves up & continually getting beat by bottom 6 teams. First half against Dundee was painful.

The players we have , have shown they can do it ,as they did in second half so have to assume it is tactics & team selection.

2. Have to admit I am not sure who we could attract but would give Callum & McKay ,if he would come ,a chance. Would have to see who applied though.

3. Wouldn't like to see Tommy sacked though as I don't think it would happen so Northern Ireland would be the only option.

You're in for a huge shock if you're expecting Callum Davidson to massive change our tactical approach.

Its a strange deal this one

Hearts are paying £5,000 of his wages

He is paying £5,000 of his wages

Norwich are paying £40,000 of it per week

 

Good deal for Hearts

As interim manager he would be carrying out the plan and tactics of his boss, the manager therefore your basis is flawed as we as supporters are unaware of what CD's tactics and style of play would be if he was the top man.

There's a very strong case to think that he didn't really have much of a free hand in those games however.

No to Swanson but keep Thomson?  You're definitely trolling.

Keep Thomson? You lost me there? Wasnt bothered when he left.  Think you've confused me with someone else.   Think we should try get May on loan from Aberdeen..
