Kowalski Posted January 30, 2012 Report Posted January 30, 2012 Dons in move to bring in Nigerian attacker By Michael Gannon Published: 30/01/2012 Aberdeen will today attempt to negotiate a loan deal for attacker Danny Uchechi after finalising the details of Gavin Rae’s 18-month deal and Isaac Osbourne’s one-year contract extension. The Dons are in discussion with Nigerian club Dender and, despite claims from the African side, believe they can secure the 22-year-old for free. Quote
mizer Posted January 30, 2012 Report Posted January 30, 2012 I presume this is him at Pittodrie on Saturday? http://www.afc.co.uk/javaImages/ce/22/0,,10284~10429134,00.jpg[/img] Quote
mizer Posted January 30, 2012 Report Posted January 30, 2012 Why do you presume that? Racist. As Silvio Berlusconi would say - hes got a good sun tan Quote
Northfield Quine Posted January 31, 2012 Report Posted January 31, 2012 I presume this is him at Pittodrie on Saturday? http://www.afc.co.uk/javaImages/ce/22/0,,10284~10429134,00.jpg[/img] Reports suggesting he will sign a 2 1/2 year deal with us as fee agreed. Not sure what he is like but hopefully he is the winger we have been desperate for this season. Quote
Penfold Posted January 31, 2012 Report Posted January 31, 2012 Scott Vernon believes Nigerian trialist Daniel Uchechi would be a good addition to the Aberdeen squad if Craig Brown decides to offer the striker a deal. Uchechi is currently training with the SPL club after he was released by League One side Sheffield Wednesday back in November. He can also play on the wing and forward Vernon is confident that Uchechi would provide the Pittodrie club with a different dimension if he signs. "He is the type of player that we haven't got," said Vernon. "He can play as a winger and dribbles a bit more than the players we have. "He has good feet and good skills and I'm sure he will be a good addition if he stays." To be honest I'd rather we were giving Chalali a run in the team. Quote
dandy Posted January 31, 2012 Report Posted January 31, 2012 Fat postie tweeting that it's a done deal. Quote
mizer Posted January 31, 2012 Report Posted January 31, 2012 Fat postie tweeting that it's a done deal. The same person who said Saturdays game v Dunfermline was a 1-1 draw..... Quote
Granite City Reds Posted January 31, 2012 Report Posted January 31, 2012 ha ha i was reading the EE and laughing at that classic from them. The Quality Control wasn't doing their jobs on that one ha ha. I've yet to see Charlie Allan come away with an exclusive on Twitter yet. He has obviously upset those at the club so doesn't get any info these days. Liam McLeod seems to have one or two well was first with Considine re-signing. Quote
BigAl Posted January 31, 2012 Author Report Posted January 31, 2012 According to reports elsewhere he played the full ninety minutes of a bounce game against ICT earlier today and looked impressive. Also apparently The Dazzler staked a claim for a new contract with a goal. That'll be it for another six months or so though Quote

That'll be it for another six months or so though I spotted the Inverness team bus on Golf Road earlier and wondered what it was doing here. Quote
dave_min Posted January 31, 2012 Report Posted January 31, 2012 I spotted the Inverness team bus on Golf Road earlier and wondered what it was doing here. They were playing us in a bounce game. Quote
BigAl Posted January 31, 2012 Author Report Posted January 31, 2012 They were playing us in a bounce game. Oh dear David Quote
sheep83 Posted January 31, 2012 Report Posted January 31, 2012 Aberdeen fans - Daniel Uchechi has now completed his move to Pittodrie until the end of the season. The Dons have the option of keeping the Nigerian for a further two years. He had spells at Charlton and West Ham. Aberdeen say that's them done now in the transfer window. They've also brought in Stephen Hughes, Gavin Rae, Russell Anderson and Mark Reynolds. Quote
tlg1903 Posted January 31, 2012 Report Posted January 31, 2012 Well i'm certainly happier with the squad than i was before. No one has left though, where has the money come for this? Quote
Jute Posted January 31, 2012 Report Posted January 31, 2012 Well i'm certainly happier with the squad than i was before. No one has left though, where has the money come for this? Money for Foster? Quote
maverick sheep Posted January 31, 2012 Report Posted January 31, 2012 no money involved. he's on loan with an option to sign. as in, he's on loan. Quote
Jute Posted January 31, 2012 Report Posted January 31, 2012 no money involved. he's on loan with an option to sign. as in, he's on loan. Must be money involved. Lad was still contracted to his club so we are either paying his wages or have paid a loan fee to his club. Quote
maverick sheep Posted January 31, 2012 Report Posted January 31, 2012 ok wages sorry. assumed you meant fee tlg. picture on the website is in daylight. Either they take pics before deals are done, so players can go home while the grown ups negotiate the deal, or the club kept us hanging on for confirmation until just over an hour before the deadline to tell us the transfer activity was over, rather than have us wonder if we'd consider SIGNING A FUCKING FULL BACK. Maybe I'm just cynical. either way i'm still relieved we haven't signed the "guinean roberto carlos" although wait..."the next carlos tevez" isn't really much more encouraging! still, welcome aboard! hopefully an adequate replacement for bebo and hopefully him and chalali can compliment crespo well. Quote
BigAl Posted January 31, 2012 Author Report Posted January 31, 2012 Think the deal was signed and sealed this afternoon, hence the picture in daylight, but the Nigerian FA were holding up the registration and presumably we wouldn't confirm deal as being done until suchtime as this was concluded Quote
