If we sold Flo for that amount I’m pretty certain we’d sign McNulty. Probably Omeonga as well.

Flo is a better player than Mcnulty will ever be.

Both are good players but both are also replaceable.

Care to divulge ?

My own opinion, i rate them both equally both capable of doing the biz , i don't reckon either has outdone each other to start putting one on a pedestal before the other.

Yup, I recall it, he said the comings / goings in the summer would be affected by them
getting new contracts and he would have to see what the outcome was. Think those were driven by Leanne as she mentioned it about a year previously saying she wanted SDG at the club for as long as possible. There are big positives to that type of role but I would have just went with SDG personally and tried to improve the first 11 on the pitch.

I'm glad someone else remembers it, thought I was losing it!

Personally think we will get more out of Daz than SDG in the next season but I agree that 4 year deals weren't required for them.

Re your last paragraph, the board think the opposite.

Based on what exactly.The board has never stated that infrastructure is more important than the playing side.

Flo is a bit like Benji. He's got some real quality that shows in flashes, but getting the best out of him is hard work. McNulty probably isn't as talented, but he'll graft hard enough that he could well be a more effective player across a whole season.

[CRAZYHIBBY]

Can someone tell me how aberdeen can pay higher wages than us

[500miles]

Additionally, if we sell Flo, it would be nice to make an enquiry about Louis Moult.

[Just Jimmy]

I'm not that fussed about mcnulty. I think there's better for cheaper out there. I also think a fully motivated and supported flo is better.

Combination of being unchallenged when we were relegated, with Milne pumping money into them via commercial deals (although that last bit is based on fairly hazy recall of news from when he wrote off their debt.)

[CRAZYHIBBY]

If flo wants to go then let him....2 million is a great piece of business for an average player

No mention of Milne pumping in money here?

If Funso Ojo wants to move to Aberdeen to play hoofball for a spare £500 per week then he can jog on. Absolute tip of a place (I lived there for 6 years) with a very underwhelming local support, which will only dwindle once they move out into the middle of the countryside in Aberdeenshire. If he has genuine ambition, he will come to us.

How is Aberdeen’s support so poor up there? One team city and a population of 200k. To only have 10/11k season ticket holders is pretty poor. Considering their recent success. Plus their glory days in the 80s.

Their crowds will worsen when they move to their new ground in the middle of nowhere.

[Leith Green]

There is still nothing concrete on Ojo .. Everbody seems to be taking the media reports that he is signing for Aberdeen as gospel. Whos to say there wont be another twist in the tale. Same sources had him signed for Hibs 2 days ago remember

Hope you're right.

A few folk would have to carry out some serious backtracking if he does sign for us mind!

Don't think it was as straightforward as handing over cash. Think the twitter talk at the time was "commercial investment". Corporate jollies and partners from the building and oil sector. It would make sense, because FFP rules don't really allow an owner to just hand over wads of cash these days.

Its a road I'd like us to look at to be fair, given our new owner's special business interests. Could lead to exposure for the Scottish game as a whole too.

Why would anyone have to backtrack? I would still have a big question mark over the guy’s character.

Or perhaps they are willing to pay more wages to this particular player? Why should we compromise our valuation of Ojo and our wage structure to "send a message"? As Hecky has said, we made an offer we're happy with and pitched to him his place in the squad. It's up to the player from that point, and I'd rather we move on than get drawn into a pishing war with McInnes when there are other targets available.

Which is all well and good but will be little consolation if they qualify for Europe again and we don’t.

there has to be at least one end of the ground open for emergency access, such as ambulances and fire engines...

Another poster put forward and excellent photo shop of the corners boxed in.

My personal view is that we should have buildings at either side of the east stand a la Genoa.

We really don’t need more seats. Our 100 year average gate is less than 12500.

Well if we can somehow pin that gap on who had Ojo, then we could question the ability of the recruitment team to effectively value a target. But I somehow doubt that. My point is we shouldn't abandon our budget/valuation of a player and subsequently overpay for them just because a rival came in and we want to get one over them.

For me Aberdeen have noticeably smaller fan base than Hibs.

I wonder if sir David Gray could play Defensive midfielder role
