Rebus30 Posted March 13, 2011 Report Posted March 13, 2011 I'd like to see him stay. He seems to be improving a bit this season, so hopefully he can build on that in the next couple of seasons Quote
El Padre™ Posted March 13, 2011 Report Posted March 13, 2011 The annoying thing is that he's nowhere near as good as has been made out at times this season, we'll end up paying over the odds for a player who might not develop any further than he has at the moment. Quote
Mentorred Posted March 13, 2011 Report Posted March 13, 2011 Maybe someone at the game can confirm this but I cannot really remember him being mentioned yesterday in commentary. Sounded like he hardly touched the ball. Quote
El Padre™ Posted March 13, 2011 Report Posted March 13, 2011 He did but he rarely did anything of note. He's still at the stage where he should be pleased that he's in the first team IMO so he any kind of improved offer should be good enough for him. Quote
BigAl Posted March 22, 2011 Report Posted March 22, 2011 Offski according to this report from SSN http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,11781_6829693,00.html Quote
Rebus30 Posted March 22, 2011 Report Posted March 22, 2011 Offski according to this report from SSN http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,11781_6829693,00.html It's obviously ultimately up to Maguire, but I think he'd be silly to leave at the end of this season. He should stick around at Pittodrie for at least another couple of seasons and then he should have a better chance at regular first team football at whichever team he moves to . . . Quote
Tyrant Posted March 22, 2011 Report Posted March 22, 2011 Bad move for him career-wise. I can promise you this, though.. I'll not lose sleep over him fucking off. Quote
RDU_64 Posted March 22, 2011 Report Posted March 22, 2011 Only really shown what he can do this season and I think he would be silly to move. However, I won't lose much sleep over him going. Quote
BigAl Posted March 22, 2011 Report Posted March 22, 2011 Can't imagine what Scottish clubs are waiting to make him an offer Rule out the Huns, that really only leaves Farts and Jungle Jims. Would have thought that Lennon couldn't really be that stupid but then again there is the Mulgrew precedent Rumoured elsewhere that Cardiff are one of the Championship clubs lining him up Quote
Harcus Posted March 22, 2011 Report Posted March 22, 2011 Would have liked to see him stay, but can't help feeling 18 months in the Championship/League One beckons, before washing up at St Johnstone/Killie etc. Would be surprised if this one comes back to bite us on the arse. Besides, if he was in the Celtic end on Sunday, he can GTF. Quote
Graeme_S Posted March 22, 2011 Report Posted March 22, 2011 stick him in the reserves for the rest of the season? Quote
Azteca1903 Posted March 22, 2011 Report Posted March 22, 2011 stick him in the reserves for the rest of the season? Taking a slice off of the nose to spite the face there I think. If his form noticably deteriorates then drop him, otherwise play him when needed. On the contract situation, I agree with the consensus that leaving would proably not be a great footbaling decision for him. However if he feels he can get more money down south then fair enough. See ya. Quote
Superstar Tradesman Posted March 22, 2011 Report Posted March 22, 2011 Ho hum. Half a season ago nobody would have batted an eyelid. Took 10 years to show what he was 'possibly' capable of, guess we'll never know what might have been. Chances are he'll start right back where he did a few seasons ago. Fits and starts, trying to make a name for himself rather than straight into the starting 11 with a reputation. Still think it's the agent pulling the strings (and his leg) though. If "teams in Scotland and England" were interested then why hasn't one of them snapped him up on a pre-contract? It's not going to cost them any more than the nominal fee we'll be due anyway. Quote
Stewart Posted March 22, 2011 Report Posted March 22, 2011 Do we still get 400k if he moves within Scotland? Quote
manc_don Posted March 22, 2011 Report Posted March 22, 2011 As others have said, shame for his career, but hey ho. There will be others that replace him, providing the club allows CB to spend a bit Cardiff can't afford anyone so it doesn't surprise me that they're being linked with him. Quote
redordead Posted March 22, 2011 Report Posted March 22, 2011 Won't be missed, I thought Paton was twice the player he is but wasn't given the chance to prove it. Hopefully now CB does the right thing and plays Pawlett out wide to show what he can do. Best we've had in years IMO. I can't see why CB doesn't see it. Quote

Hopefully now CB does the right thing and plays Pawlett out wide to show what he can do. Best we've had in years IMO. I can't see why CB doesn't see it. Is it a case of him not seeing it or rather protecting him? Every run of games he's had has ended with a month or two on the sidelines, might be for the best if we ease him back into the team. Quote
Jute Posted March 22, 2011 Report Posted March 22, 2011 Do we still get 400k if he moves within Scotland? Yes. Story looks like an agent using fact his player is on international duty to try and generate interest in his client. Quote
Madbadteacher Posted March 22, 2011 Report Posted March 22, 2011 Willie MacCunt has told him he's worth more wages, he believes it, so it's goodbye! Quote
caledonia Posted March 22, 2011 Report Posted March 22, 2011 Might as well sell him now because this is the best he will ever play. highly overrated player in my opinion especially if he takes 10 years to hit a good patch Quote
Aberdeen_Ladette Posted March 22, 2011 Report Posted March 22, 2011 Yes. Story looks like an agent using fact his player is on international duty to try and generate interest in his client. Your yes was in reply to will we get £400,000 if he moves within Scotland, .... apparently at the NOTW roadshow Craig Brown said the maximum we could get for Maguire was £360,000. I agree re your second point. Quote
