maverick sheep Posted November 17, 2011 Report Posted November 17, 2011 Fucking right they pay! I'm 95% sure they'll say "Thanks but no thanks" following the trial. And since Aluko patently has no problem with playing in the SPL, the natural solution is to come to Aberdeen, plug the gap we have on the left, set up a few goals, leave on a free in 2 (?) years time. Simple eh? Quote
riverplate83 Posted November 18, 2011 Report Posted November 18, 2011 i hope the greetin faced injury prone fanny dancer signs for them. he is totally unfit and will not even get near a first team shirt. Quote
riverplate83 Posted November 18, 2011 Report Posted November 18, 2011 I could get a job at the EE, Dont do yourself down min... Quote
McMaster Posted November 18, 2011 Report Posted November 18, 2011 Surely extending his trial for an extra 4 or 5 days. McCoist saying he only wants to bring in players that can go straight into the first team! Quote
maverick sheep Posted November 18, 2011 Report Posted November 18, 2011 Another shit thing, he's a natural in the very position they converted Naismith to play! Aluko could be the best player in this league if he finds motivation - mostly because the league has lost almost all it's good players since he was 18. So we HAVE to take every single penny. If not I think supporting the club financially with the current people running it might actually be more harmful than just the issues of current facilities/squad. Quote

Azteca1903 Posted November 18, 2011 Report Posted November 18, 2011 "We've not heard from Rangers or from Sone, but we are fairly confident of our case." "Our fans would never forgive us if we let Rangers walk all over us on this," added the source. Good. Quote
manc_don Posted November 18, 2011 Report Posted November 18, 2011 Good. Glad they appear to understand us! Quote

Kowalski Posted November 19, 2011 Author Report Posted November 19, 2011 but we are fairly confident of our case Doesn't sound all that good to me. Quote
BigAl Posted November 19, 2011 Report Posted November 19, 2011 Doesn't sound all that good to me. Agreed, that comes across to me as being little better than 50/50. What a fucking surprise Quote
dave_min Posted November 19, 2011 Report Posted November 19, 2011 Doesn't sound all that good to me. The chat I was hearing was that we aren't entitled to anything as we didn't "develop" him, we signed him as a 1st team player Quote
maverick sheep Posted November 19, 2011 Report Posted November 19, 2011 The chat I was hearing was that we aren't entitled to anything as we didn't "develop" him, we signed him as a 1st team player I heard that is the line der hun are thinking about taking. Whole thing sounds ridiculous. I always thought the 'development' label was just a cover all to stop clubs being screwed over. Surely 'signing for the first team' at age 18 is just another form of the same thing - development Quote
McMaster Posted November 19, 2011 Report Posted November 19, 2011 Well surely Aluko is pushing this himself. so he can ram it. Quote
BigAl Posted November 19, 2011 Report Posted November 19, 2011 The chat I was hearing was that we aren't entitled to anything as we didn't "develop" him, we signed him as a 1st team player And subsequently developed him into a full internationalist. Nonetheless you just know we're not going to be the winners in this Quote
Penfold Posted November 21, 2011 Report Posted November 21, 2011 A player’s training and education takes place between the ages of 12 and 23. Training compensation shall be payable, as a general rule, up to the age of 23 for training incurred up to the age of 21, unless it is evident that a player has already terminated his training period before the age of 21. Inside the EU/EEA, the final season of training may occur before the season of the player’s 21st birthday if it is established that the player completed his training before that time. I guess Rangers might claim he "completed his training" before signing for us although how that is established I don't know. There must be plenty of cases like this already occured, surely AFC could seek clarification from FIFA/UEFA/SFA/PFA Quote

mizer Posted November 22, 2011 Report Posted November 22, 2011 SONE ALUKO will be given 90 minutes today to prove he's worth a Rangers deal. Record Sport can reveal Ibrox boss Ally McCoist has fixed up a closed-door bounce game with St Mirren to allow him to run the rule over the Nigerian winger who has spent the past eight days on trial at Murray Park. Aluko watched from the stand on Saturday as McCoist's men turned in a toothless display in a 0-0 draw with St Johnstone which let Celtic edge back into the title race. McCoist admitted his side lacked width and now Aluko has the chance to show he is the man to provide Rangers with more threat from the flanks. McCoist is concerned the 22-year-old's former club, Aberdeen, may scupper any deal by claiming a hefty compensation fee. The Dons insist they would be due around £250,000 if Aluko signed for a club outside Scotland and argue Rangers should be forced by tribunal to stump up a similar sum. Quote
Jute Posted November 22, 2011 Report Posted November 22, 2011 Article in the Record has Alukos advisors claiming we are due nothing. Quote
mizer Posted November 22, 2011 Report Posted November 22, 2011 This may have been already covered but can they play him without getting clearance from some authority? And would there be any ramifications if they did play him say against us without paying then find out they should have played? Quote
topcorner Posted November 22, 2011 Report Posted November 22, 2011 He will get a deal with Rangers. He will be great for them. We will battle for months to get a fee but will end up with nothing. The end. Quote
baggy89 Posted November 22, 2011 Report Posted November 22, 2011 If there was any semblance of non-biased journalism in Scottish football this line; McCoist is concerned the 22-year-old's former club, Aberdeen, may scupper any deal by claiming a hefty compensation fee. would read: McCoist is concerned any deal may be scuppered by Rangers refusal to pay the compensation fee due to the 22-year-old's former club, Aberdeen No idea why that, in amongst all the other Old Firm shit that goes on day after day in Scottish football, annoyed me. But it did. WANKERS! Quote
manc_don Posted November 22, 2011 Report Posted November 22, 2011 You are right to be aggrieved by it baggy. It's why and will continue to be why Scottish football is shit. Quote
mizer Posted November 22, 2011 Report Posted November 22, 2011 Apparently he has agreed terms and there is a meeting up in Aberdeen tonight between us and the vermin Quote
