On McNulty...

“We can’t get it done at the minute,” Heckingbottom confirmed. “It’ll cost too much money. We’re not in a position to do it because either we’ve not got enough finance or what they’re asking is too much.

“If either of those change then maybe."

Even if we had the money he’s not worth it. £1m is an English transfer amount.

I'd be ecstatic if we could get McNulty in.
Not sure what the chances are. I'm hoping we don't wait around to long.
In saying that I'm sure the management team know exactly what they are doing.

Would far rather sign Mulumbu

Is this "wee" Ron's Griffiths moment? If the 'Tache were still here it would be all foaming at the mouth and "Petrie get it done"🙄🙄🙄

Interesting Heckingbottom says we’re in a similar position with a couple of players.

Any idea who?

Dylan? Omeonga?

That Daily Record article doesn't really say much IMO.

Two clubs have had bids accepted, he's spoken to one, he's away to speak to the other, that's normal.

He may choose Aberdeen, but IMO it just looks like he's away to have a look at his options.

Robert Thomson at the Sun saying we were on the verge of getting him signed last week but Aberdeen have now “blown us out the water”.

Aberdeen can offer better wages. The end.

Be quite ironic given how most on her were desperate for Mcgeough to turn down Aberdeen... Which leads us to today....

if true this puts us in our place in terms of our standing in the game. whilst my disappointment would be high indeed if true, it will pale into insignificence compared to heckys whatever he says publicly. this was to be the fulcrum oh his team and anyone else is 2nd choice at best. not much sign of ambition after all our support and the 'new dawn' under a bew owner.

St Mirren have signed Oan Djorkaeff, the son of France 1998 World Cup winner Youri Djorkaeff

So much pish on here the now. Aberdeen have more money than us, they make more money than us, they’ve threw money at this guy to get him to join. He’s had his head turned and went for the cash

Unless Gordon has some sort of massive transfer investment planned in the next few seasons, we're going to keep losing out to Aberdeen for players.

I'm now having visions of him shutting down our midfield in the latest 0-1 at ER.

The New Owner has made it clear he is happy with our current playing budget and that it will take him time to get to grips with what’s going on But did mention growing the Club , Infradture and new indoor Yrsining Facility and Community Links
It seems to me he is clear at present there is no new huge cash injection for players and therefore Aberdeen continue to be able to offer players more than us
I would argue as things stand Aberdeen have improved their squad more than I had expected so we really need to be looking to match them or we will finish behind them yet again
Up till now Heck has said he has got his first priority signings over the line This would be the first one he has missed out on If reports are true the guy has opted for the Dons
So it’s a test of what other players have been identified in that role to try and get the next one on the list over the line

So that's it. Aberdeen will always sign better players than us. We should just accept it.

Nonsense, we don't know how much we offered or what's aberdeen offered. If Aberdeen want to chuck money at the boy then fair play.

Don’t think the DR article is anything worth worrying about.

This wouldn't surprise me tbh. We are still working under our original transfer budget apparently and Aberdeen have just been knocked back from their top target in a similar role. If he buys into the club and what PH have told him then he will sign for us. If not then he is not for us and we move on. It's not too complicated. If he doesn't want to be here then find someone that does. Team spirit and unity are what will make us strong.

I don't think that's the conclusion to draw. It's unavoidable that in a 1v1 pursuit of the same player, the team that can offer more money and European football is going to have a bigger draw.

We need to be clever with our acquisitions. Players like McGinn, McGeouch and Ambrose were all certainly better than most of the Aberdeen squad, but that didn't stop them coming to us.

Hopefully there's still hope Re Ojo.

Not for me. Aberdeen are paying way more than they should be for a club of their size. They've benefited from continued investment. To be fair to them it's all above board and working.

Legs gone wrong side of 30 - no thanks

Really hope we can close the gap on Aberdeen soon as they’re in a very strong position if you think about it.

Can offer 3rd most wages in the league - by a distance
New stadium and training ground coming
Europe most seasons and decent records of getting to finals lately

And have signed Bryson, Hedges and by the looks of it Ojo - 3 players we were rumoured with. How genuine the Bryson and Hedges ones were I don’t know.

Or we can just be realistic. Over the last few years Aberdeen have had a bigger turnover than us and have 2 guys who seem willing to pump in a fair bit of money without getting much in return.

We have a new owner, he's been in the door 5 minutes. I'd hope he will be looking seriously at why Aberdeen have been able to generate more interest in external investment than us in recent times, why their turnover is higher (even if it's as simple as say catering or the club shop being in house) and how we can redress things.

Nothing was going to change overnight, Aberdeen could pay more than us last week, they can pay more than us today and they will likely be able to pay more than us this time next week. If we are still being blown away by them a year or 18 months down the line it might be time to ask a few questions. As it is RG hasn't even sat down at a board meeting yet.

It's frustrating that we look like we may miss out here but if we have offered the best package we can and Aberdeen throw an extra £500 a week at the guy what can we do?

Would you rather have Omeonga or Ojo ?

Not sure I'm wanting a player who according to his previous club's fans 'downed tools' when the chips were down and who has an agent clearly working the situation. Give me SO, McNulty and a proven player in Mulumbu any day of the week

I'm certainly not going to lose sleep if he goes to the Dons.
