Stuart Duff can leave Aberdeen

[Reekie_Red]

So you only like 'cities' that are, in your opinion, aesthetically pleasing to the eye?

 

Aesthetically pleasing cities are a helpful start. But not the be-all and end-all. I was merely replying to dave_min's comments that, unlike Glasgow, Inverness was just a series of concrete lumps.

 

Although I never stayed in Glasgow, I had a few nights out in the weej, have been there a few times for footy, and even  worked there for a month (commuting from Edinburgh). From my exerienced gained from these times, I certainly did not enjoy Glasgow, Glasgow's people or Glasgow's physical look one single bit.

 

However, Inverness was a different kettle of fish, in my opinion. The times I've worked and entertained myself there were on the opposite scale to that of Glasgow.

Comparing Inverness and Weegieland is difficult but at the end of the day whatever it's merits, Glasgow is still full of despicable bigots full of hatred. For that reason alone I couldn't live there.

Hard-working Stuart has a future with Aberdeen FC

McGhee hails battler Duff

 

By Sean Wallace

 

Published: 20/04/2010

 

ABERDEEN FC midfielder Stuart Duff is winning his battle to remain at Pittodrie.

 

Aberdeen FC boss Mark McGhee today revealed he will meet with Duff to thrash out his future.

 

And he insists the commitment shown by Aberdonian Duff, who is out of contract at the end of the season, will not go unnoticed.

Good squad player imo, always gives 100%

[glasgowdon]

It's not full of them but there are quite a few. I have lived in Glasgow for 12 years and hardly any of my friends are actually weegies. As it is the only proper city in Scotland I quite enjoy it. All other cities are just big towns or large fishing villages.

 

In saying that I am trying to move away from it soon.

 

Spot on. It may have its bad points but I'd rather live here than anywhere else in Scotland.

[scunnered999]

On the subject of Inverness...

 

I lived there from 1971 to 2000 and can hand on heart say the best thing about it is the A9 south. Now I'm not one for generalisations but it's a shite night out (Johnny Foxes / The Gellions / Hoots... !), is full of shite people (mostly) and has a minky football team full of hairy arsed haggis fuckers! GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

[tsr]

Brutal news about Duff.

[RDU_64]

Offers versatility and a decent squad player. Can play in a number of positions and thats important in the present climate. Did well against Falkirk on Saturday, and not a bad option to have on the bench.

[BobbyBiscuit]

I'd rather we kept Duff, he's a back up player and a fairly decent one at that for us.

 

 

[Stewart]

As long as he's not going to be a regular starter I don't have any problem with keeping him.

 

He can play anywhere at the back or in midfield and won't be on a big wage.

 

Always seems to do job when he's called upon anyway.

[One Bobby Clark]

Neither up nor down about the Duff news, but.........................

 

I fear this is the start of the McGhee back down from his big summer clear out he promised.

that was my thought too, you just know it's going to happen.

This summer I predict McGhee will mostly be wearing:

Ach it'll be fine when we get our new signings...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Maguire and Considine.

We all know next season will be one of transition, give it until 2011 20122013 and we'll be flying.....

Think you're looking for the 'Volcano' thread

[Kowalski]

I think he's an okay squad player and would definitely keep him ahead of the likes of Kerr and McDonald, as he at least he appears to put some effort in.

 

Getting concerned that next year's team is not going to be a whole lot different to this year's.

[Jute]

I cannot beleive anyone is suggesting keeping pish like Duff. Did nobody see his completely inept display at Hibs. This guy is a 1st division player at best. Loads of effort fuck all skill. Depressing that we are thinking of keeping him. Almost as bad as looking at Billy Mehmet.

[tsr]

Indeed, for your Hibs I raise you Sigma, diabolical.

So he's got one more attribute that most of the other first team players dont.

 

For each inept display, there are a solid, if unspectacular one to match it. Take Falkirk on Saturday. AFC are not in the position to be out buying 2 players for each position, hence why versatility is so important. Duff offers us that where he can play anywhere across the back four and the midfield four. He certainly wouldn't be in my starting eleven or anywhere close to it, but he is a decent option to have on the bench or to call upon if injuries and suspensions affect the starting eleven. He's won't be on a superstar wage either, I wouldn't imagine. Despite being out in the cold for most of this season, he has knuckled doon and and showed plenty of fight and determination to get back into the position he now finds himself, two qualities that have been found to be in short supply this season.

[manc_don]

Kow surely you didn't expect it to be that different? We've been here so many times i'd be suprised if we got 4. I think jager's thread a few months back was spot on sadly

How can a club with any aspirations of success accept that 50% of the boys game are going to be inept and at best solid?

That is where we are. Unless there is a sudden and substantial influx of cash, having players of workmanlike ability in the squad is inevitable.
