BobbyBiscuit Posted May 20, 2011 Author Report Posted May 20, 2011 Well what a fucking surprise that would prove to be if quotation is true Of Floodm Rae and Dailly, I'd probably take Flood first. An utter cunt on the park, but so was Hartley, and at least he'd be our cunt I actually think I'd weep if we ever signed Dailly. How that prick made the career he has is beyond me. More international caps than Number 6. It's either someone's idea of a sick joke or it's a really bad dream. Quote
BobbyBiscuit Posted May 26, 2011 Author Report Posted May 26, 2011 GAVIN RAE insists he would only return to the SPL to join boyhood idols Aberdeen. The former Rangers and Scotland star is mulling over his next move while on holiday with his family in Australia after being released by Cardiff. Aberdeen manager Craig Brown has made no secret of his desire to bring Rae, 33, back to the city of his birth. He faces opposition for Rae's signature from a number of English Championship clubs, but midfielder Rae, capped 14 times, gave Brown hope when he claimed the Dons were the ONLY club in Scotland he would sign for after four years at Cardiff. Rae said: "I grew up supporting Aberdeen and they are the only team I would sign for in Scotland. "I am open-minded about the future right now and there is a lot of thinking and talking to be done." Rae endured a frustrating final season with the Bluebirds, making just seven appearances as Cardiff once again were unsuccessful in gaining promotion to the top-flight via the play-offs. Rae, who last appeared for Cardiff in January, said: "I am gutted to be leaving and it was a frustrating season for me. I felt there were times when I could have played, even if it was to give others a rest. "I was ready to play at any moment and in my heart I believe I might just have made a difference in some matches." But Rae loved living in the Welsh capital, where twins Gabriella and Jacob were born. He added: "I have enjoyed every minute of my time in South Wales. "We settled as a family and love the city and the area. The fans have been fantastic to me and I thank them for that." Quote
tlg1903 Posted May 26, 2011 Report Posted May 26, 2011 Nice to hear that, can sympathise with him on leaving cardiff as well. Cracking part of the world Quote
manc_don Posted May 26, 2011 Report Posted May 26, 2011 It is nice to hear someone actually wanting to play for us. However, I still stick to my original statement, I think he's past it. Quote
tom_widdows Posted May 26, 2011 Report Posted May 26, 2011 Apparently we've offered him a contact as have Dundee United. We've apparently offered more money. Sure I heard him interviewed on Sportsound saying he has already signed for the arabs Quote
Madbadteacher Posted May 26, 2011 Report Posted May 26, 2011 At least it makes a change from "...ever seence I was leetle boy I awlays wanted to play for rangers/celtic...." Quote
fatjim Posted May 26, 2011 Report Posted May 26, 2011 At least it makes a change from "...ever seence I was leetle boy I awlays wanted to play for rangers/celtic...." Shit you've picked up an american accent quick. Quote
kelt Posted May 27, 2011 Report Posted May 27, 2011 Gavin Rae is exactly the kind of over-the-hill old dude looking to pick up a pay cheque in the twilight of his career sort of a signing that Aberdeen should be looking at. Maybe we can sign a fucking sloth from Edinburgh zoo inna, just to give the team the exact amount of pace and energy the SPL demands. Quote
capitalsharpie Posted May 27, 2011 Report Posted May 27, 2011 SO, so far Hearts have signed three, Unt one or two, meanwhile us? Depspite needing an entire backbone (personnel and metaphorically) of a team, we have been linked to two players in the twighlight of thier careers. I must rush and bag my season ticket.... Quote

Relax, the season's only just finished! We've made an approach for Steve Jennings of Motherwell. Quote

Thats the spirit eh I'm not panicing just yet, though it would be nice to see a decent signing being made, and soon. Quote
capitalsharpie Posted May 27, 2011 Report Posted May 27, 2011 sorry but with average attendances being gash this season past, the fans need something to get excited about otherwise season ticket sales will be pish as well. That board of directors need to show us the support that they want a team fighting for silverware and not just surviving in sub mediocrity. Quote
Madbadteacher Posted May 28, 2011 Report Posted May 28, 2011 Maybe they should go for Derek Rae Quote
mini59dons Posted June 7, 2011 Report Posted June 7, 2011 Aberdeen manager Craig Brown fears he could be priced out of a move for the former Rangers and Cardiff ace Gavin Rae. (The Record) Nae doubt! Quote
Kowalski Posted June 7, 2011 Report Posted June 7, 2011 Charlton join race for Aberdeen FC target Rae Craig Brown faces competition for Gavin deal By Charlie Allan Published: 07/06/2011 GAVIN Rae today confirmed Charlton Athletic are slugging it out with Aberdeen FC for his signature. Aberdeen FC boss Craig Brown wants to make Scotland international Rae his second major signing of the close season. But Brown knows he faces serious competition to seal a deal for the midfielder. Quote
manc_don Posted June 7, 2011 Report Posted June 7, 2011 Next. My thoughts exactly, if he hasn't signed up to his "boyhood" club already there's no point in wasting our time. Though I think I read somewhere he was in Australia (may have been in this thread) so I will give him a bit of slack. Quote
topcorner Posted June 8, 2011 Report Posted June 8, 2011 http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,11781_6970610,00.html I reckon he will end up at Pittodrie. Quote
dave_min Posted June 8, 2011 Report Posted June 8, 2011 I reckon he will end up at Pittodrie. Aye. The beer festival this weekend though. Quote
manc_don Posted June 8, 2011 Report Posted June 8, 2011 I would have thought if he's ending up here, that he would have just stated his desire to come to the club? Not giving much away, which to me is always a sign that we're about to be fucked. Quote
Madbadteacher Posted June 9, 2011 Report Posted June 9, 2011 "Ever seence I was leeeeetle bot I alwayz dreamt of playing for the Aberdeeeeen club" Quote
Jute Posted June 9, 2011 Report Posted June 9, 2011 Sound like a player not wanting to burn his bridges and keep us hanging on just in case he does not get a better offer elsewhere. Quote
