Not sure Aberdeen could afford Griffiths. He might not be playing often but Celtc won’t be letting him go for free and he’ll want a good wage.

I suspect as the old cliche goes Peter Lawwell would be delighted to personally drive him Griffiths to Aberdeen.

However, I suspect Leigh will be sitting tight at "Paradise" to hoover up loadsa money for another 14 months.

About this time next season he will start making a play for Hibs and it's fans.

[Unseen work]

No idea how he will do as a coach, but even getting him as a player is good business for Aberdeen.

Brown, Mcgeouch, Ferguson, Campbell and McCrorie is very good options to choose from

One or more will leave surely?

Funso Ojo on loan at Wigan I think and will be back in the summer.

Wouldn’t be surprised to see Ferguson leave for a decent fee and Ojo to get him off the wage bill

Suppose it all depends how Glass wants to play and his plans

[Since452]

I've nothing against Scott Brown and he made Hibs a hell of a lot of money but hope he's an absolute car crash at Aberdeen. I don't want our biggest rivals for 3rd over the next few seasons having any luck whatsoever.

Fortunately for Aberdeen, Ferguson has a contract for another 3 seasons after this one..
21 years old and has played over 130 games at the top level.
Very impressive so vultures like The Rangers will be getting into position to make their move.
Once he is gone Aberdeen have rock all players of real monetary worth.

[green day]

Not that fussed tbh.

I know he has confounded the "he's finished" calls over the years, but I do think he has been helped by having the right players round him and "light touch" refereeing.

I don't see him getting the easy reffing at Aberdeen, and I struggle to see how Glass is going to fit all those (generally good) midfielders into one unit.

Something has to give and it won't be Scott brown, so maybe Ferguson will leave??

So they are adding a 36yo (or will be ) to 4 they already have. Not sure how they are going improve from this season in the midfield area. I assume Celtic wont play Brown against the Dons in this years fixture!

They might. He scored a diving header for us when we beat them 2-1 in his final game for us!

Would love to see the highlights for that one again.

Brown is good signing for them - just the kind of player and captain we could have done with for a European campaign. Saying that, not convinced the Glass/Brown experiment will work. Completely untried and miles away from the McInnes model.

What is wrong with the captain who got us into Europe?

[Brightside]

I think Ferguson will be looking to move in the summer.

That's a good point to be honest. Lots of folk, myself included have alluded to us getting a new captian but our current one has helped get us to 3rd.. Maybe we don't need to replace ours.

[Alfiembra]

Hearing from a few of my Dandy Dons mates that the rumours are Sparky might be heading North as well.

They have just gone cheap on a manager and have wasted cash on duds like Ross Mccrorie, ojo, mcgeough and so much more.

Are you saying that they couldn't afford him?

Also, have you seen our financial report?

If Roy Keane goes to Parkhead, I can’t see Griffiths and him getting on at all. If money talks and he wants to stay in Scotland, I can’t see him going anywhere other than Aberdeen. There again, he might go for a last big pay day in England.

Can’t see anyone offering Griffiths a big pay day to be honest. I struggle to see him getting back to anywhere near what he’s capable of. He’ll have the odd appearance where he looks like he might get back but then it’s only so long before something else crops up to stop him.

[Kaiser1962]

I suspect he may pick up a few red cards next season.

Aberdeens finances last reported were pretty grim as well. On the grand scheme of things hibs recent report is far better than i expected it to be.

You agree Aberdeen could afford him. That's what my point has been from the start.

It’s a tricky one.

If we want to try and push for 2nd we need Aberdeen to take some points off the OF whilst slipping up at Ross Co or whoever!

I don’t mind Aberdeen, if we break away in a top 4 and fight it out with them each year for 3rd I’d be pretty chuffed.

Do you think anyone in England would be bothered to sign a player that couldn’t be bothered to get himself fit enough to do a pre season?

[Orchard_Hibs]

Wonder if brown will move up to Aberdeen or just go up there for a couple of training session a week and keep living in Edinburgh? Would imagine his legs will only get worse if he doesn’t move up there.

Would a Scottish club, for that matter?

Yes. Not 100% if I want him at Hibs but he would do a job int he SPL for certain.

I don’t truthfully see us coming second any time soon. Money talks and we can’t complete with the old firm. Would need a great season from us and a car crash from one of the old firm.

[heretoday]

Great move for Brown. I still hold out hope that he comes to Hibs at some point.
But he'll be hoping for higher things I'm sure.
