"There's a lot more to be done. As the manager has said, I haven't begun yet," Sterling said.

 

"It's every 18-year-old's dream. I'm just really grateful to be at such a big club like this," he told the club website. 

 

"Hopefully I can kick on after the new year and try to do my best for the team and the football club."

FAO Mr Fraser..........Fyvie on the BENCH for Wigan today, still has not appeared on the pitch for the first team. Thought you might like a look at a possible future. Money ain't everything.

 

In fairness MBT, getting on the bench for a EPL game is progress in the right direction for Fraser Fyvie

Well, well, well. No quotes but is potentially a good sign:

 

ABERDEEN have moved to reopen contract talks with Ryan Fraser.

The Dons pulled negotiations on a four-year contract last month after the winger refused to adhere to the deadline on their offer.

 

However, the Pittodrie hierarchy have now attempted to get Fraser and his father back to the table.

 

Express Sport revealed that Fraser hadn’t closed the door on staying, although he was angry with the way the talks had been handled.

The 18-year-old was heavily criticised at the club’s AGM but the Dons now want to build bridges

His current deal runs out in the summer and Fraser is able to talk to clubs this month with a view to joining for the start of next season.

 

The 18-year-old was heavily criticised at the club’s AGM but the Dons now want to build bridges and persuade him to extend his stay at Pittodrie.

 

Aberdeen will also open talks with management duo Craig Brown and Archie Knox over the coming weeks.

 

However, the Dons may have to deliver a top-six place before a new deal is finalised.

Wonder why the sudden change of heart from Dons? Is this just a smoke screen to get fans of the lad's back as club want to play him until he leaves or hopefully club realising they acted to hastily when withdrawing original offer?

putting his name back in the papers in the hope someone will take a punt on him in jan, rather than get him on pre-contract?

 

hopefully it's not that, and they genuinely will make the effort to extend his stay.

I have no doubt in my mind that if we get him signed up to this reported 4 year deal we will at some point get a transfer fee of unprecedented proportions.

Chick Young in 'pick random club out of a hat' shocker?

Championship side Huddersfield Town are interested in signing Aberdeen winger Ryan Fraser, BBC Scotland has learned.

Fraser, who will turn 19 next month, is out of contract at the end of the season and has turned down the offer of a new deal at Pittodrie.

Having come through Aberdeen's youth system, Fraser made his first-team debut in October 2010.

However, the Scotland Under-19 cap has only become a regular in Craig Brown's side this season.

Brown indicated there was still time for Fraser to continue his career with Aberdeen but the club will only be entitled to a transfer fee if he leaves during the January transfer window, while compensation would be due in the event of a summer departure.

 

Yes that is the entire article.

And this month's prize fud award goes to...

 

 

Zander Diamond, the former Aberdeen centre-back, has entered the debate on whether Pittodrie teenager Ryan Fraser should leave the club so soon after breaking into the first team – by backing what he sees as the player's ambition.

 

Fraser, who has caught the eye with his exciting and entertaining performances this season, rejected a new contract at Aberdeen and now hopes for a move, probably south of the border.

 

Manager Craig Brown and a long list of former Aberdeen players and pundits have advised the 18-year-old to remain at Pittodrie and develop his game over the next two or three years.

 

However, Diamond – ?who is now captain of Burton Albion in the npower League Two after a year at Oldham Athletic – doubts if his former club could repeat the kind of success they had under Jimmy Calderwood, who led them to the last 32 of the Europa League.

 

As a result, he considers Fraser's decision to look elsewhere, which as attracted criticism from supporters, entirely understandable. "I know the fans are talking about Fraser turning his back on the prospect of playing in European football if Aberdeen finish second or third in the league," Diamond said. "But he could stay and the team could go out in the first round.

 

"It's crazy that if a player like Ryan wants to better himself by moving on the fans suddenly see him as disloyal. Niall McGinn is doing well for Aberdeen but when the time comes that he wants to leave he'll be the next one to get it in the neck. That's the mentality of some of the supporters."

 

Diamond, for his part, believes he stayed in the Granite City too long and wished he had moved to English football years earlier. The 27-year-old, who became engaged to Nadine Hardie, sister of Greenock Morton midfielder Martin, on Christmas day, is enjoying life down south.

 

He previously stayed on at Aberdeen out of loyalty to then manager Calderwood and his assistant Jimmy Nicholl, signing a new two-year deal only for the "two Jimmies" to be sacked a short time afterwards and leave him, in his own words, "stuck at Pittodrie".

 

Diamond added: "When Chris Clark was about to leave Aberdeen for Plymouth the fans were booing him and my dad told me I would get that treatment when it came my time to leave. I didn't believe him but he was right. I was booed."

fuck off zander you bigoted embarrassment of a human being.

 

^^^^ this

 

Stupid little boy. Could have carved out a half decent career if he'd screwed the nut and actually put his performance week in week out above other things. Seems to be a case of sinking lower and lower for Zander since leaving Pittodrie. Dinnae hurry back loon, you're not missed

Never in my life have I heard an Aberdeen player being booed for deciding not to sign a new contract. If Diamond was booed it was not because of that.

 

This is one cunt that has not been missed. Didn't bother his arse after Jimmy left and now I see why. This cunt has ruined my morning skive.

He didn't bother his arse every time Jimmy was here either (see Queen of the South semi final).  He's a rather unlikable cunt.
