Possibly the most unbelievable thing I’ve ever read on here and that’s saying something. 20k a month, yes possibly. 20k a week 🤣🤣Quote:

I’m still actually quite surprised we got him .. strange one from an Aberdeen point of view IMO .

Nowhere near good enough for get in Jamestown Team apparently. If he had shown up there is only one place he was headed at that’s to the Gorgie Galicticos. So says my Jambo chums.Quote:

I think before his shoulder injury he was one of their top players for goals and assists , think Hibs have played a blinder in getting him over an extra year.Quote:

Probably could be a case of they were a bit lackadaisical and we were on the ball .
10 goal contributions in 25 matches for Aberdeen in the season just gone, Him and Hoilett if he decides to stay will be good options to have, i think it would push Campbell down a bit but that wont be a problem i don't think.
Think McGrath will be a key player for us next season and having Hoilett and Campbell gives us another two different options if needed … it’s all good 👍 .Quote:

Then, of course there have been the years of prosperity, bringing diverse people to the city for work.
It’s sad that there is also a significant divide between the haves and have nots but that’s true of every city. I do feel it is exaggerated because of the oil wealthy incomes and successful locals.
On balance, I agree with those saying Aberdeen City is dull. The saving grace is what surrounds it.
If you are lucky enough to have been born and brought up in Edinburgh then you probably aren’t impressed by other Scottish cities.
I know that’s certainly the case for me. Dull is a fair summary of Aberdeen imo.
Aberdeenshire, the area around the City is very nice and largely unvisited.
I'm born and raised in the NE and I always found Aberdeen a depressing and dreary place. Edinburgh on the other hand, after all of the travelling I've done in my lifetime, remains my favourite city in the world to this day.Quote:

I agree. Amazing countryside with a vast amount of prehistoric sites, as well as castles. It's not too touristy and has lots of great walks, costal and inland.Quote:

The club from the dull city with no soul has just announced significant investment
Aberdeen FC - £8 million New Investment Round into Aberdeen FC https://share.google/lrfkWWu8XRIysqaQ0
The slow realisation that the council will never be buying them a nice shiny new stadium and they will have to spend multiple millions to fix the *****hole that is pittodrie. A chain around their neck for the next 2 decades at least.Quote:

Whilst I agree with a poster above that, similarly, I have seen many cities around the world and Edinburgh is absolutely one of the best all-rounders in my opinion, I do think Aberdeen gets a hard rep. The countryside around the city is absolutely glorious and the city still has some great wee pockets like Old Aberdeen, Belmont Street, Hazelhead Park, Duthie Park, the West End etc. I just think it’s very easy for Edinburghers to judge, living in a city which consistently is rated highly in global quality of life indexes etc.
Give me Aberdeen over Glasgow any day though.
£5m for capital expenditure (training facilities and upgrades to their crumbling stadium).Quote:

I don't think Aberdeen fans are as gullible as Hearts fans in this respect and understand that most of this cash is already sunk.

In general I welcome investment into Scottish football though, even if it's one of our main rivals. It should help to boost Scotland's competitiveness against other leagues and nations.
Hibs will be taking in a lot of grant money for the development work at HTC, I’m sure.Quote:

Aberdeen is a **** hole and their accents are diabolical. **** Aberdeen.
Edinburgh has the best largest central area of any city in Scotland. But other global cities have more diversity and more interesting areas outside their city centres. If you have lived in other major global cities, then on return to Edinburgh it seems parochial and lacking in diversity.
.........anyway, back to Jamie McGrath.
I am delighted he has signed for us, I think he is an excellent technical player and will be pretty important for us this coming season.
Said it previously but I was massively impressed with the great attitude and commitment McGrath gave for Aberdeen in the games he played at the end of the season. That, despite his having committed to a move to Hibs. The complete opposite of “putting the tools away”.Quote:

Good to have a balanced assessment 😄Quote:
