TENEMENTFUNSTER Posted January 5, 2013 Report Posted January 5, 2013 No. Luxury. Talented but a luxury. Even the Tims can't carry the cunt. Quote
Jute Posted January 6, 2013 Report Posted January 6, 2013 No. Luxury. Talented but a luxury. Even the Tims can't carry the cunt. Agreed. Zero work rate in some of the games I have seen as well. Talent is clearly there but only when he can be arsed. Quote
sheepheid Posted January 6, 2013 Report Posted January 6, 2013 McCourt is another Belabed, Zerouali, Smith, Bernard type that will 'play' two/three games a season when he is fit/can be arsed. The rest of the time he will be a complete waste of time and money. Why do you think the tims want to get rid. Any signing's we make need to be honest work-man like performers and not someone who flatters to deceive. Quote
maverick sheep Posted January 6, 2013 Report Posted January 6, 2013 I'd take McCourt if it didn't mean losing anyone other than fraser. Similar position to McGinn with the tims and possibly McGinn's season is showing these fringe players that there's more to life than bench warming. Quote

BigAl Posted January 7, 2013 Report Posted January 7, 2013 Specualtion elsewhere that Prince Buaben is in Aberdeen for talks today. Mind him looking a bit handy at the Arabs, but no idea what he has, or more likely hasn't done down south Quote
TENEMENTFUNSTER Posted January 7, 2013 Report Posted January 7, 2013 Buaben did indeed look none too shabby. Quote
baggy89 Posted January 7, 2013 Report Posted January 7, 2013 Think he's been playing pretty regularly for Watford, so (if true) bit of an odd one. Quote
tlg1903 Posted January 7, 2013 Author Report Posted January 7, 2013 can't see it happening but if it did would be a great signing. Could see Ozzy playing rb a lot more if so Quote
manc_don Posted January 7, 2013 Report Posted January 7, 2013 As others have said, it would be a great signing but surely this must be pish. Quote
bloo_toon_red Posted January 7, 2013 Report Posted January 7, 2013 Think he's been playing pretty regularly for Watford, so (if true) bit of an odd one. According to the BBC stats page, which isn't always very accurate, he hasn't played a single game this season. Tweeted on his own page he was in Dundee yesterday... Good player, but do we need him right now? On a pre-contract for next season perhaps yes when Rae and Hughes inevitably move on. Quote

TENEMENTFUNSTER Posted January 8, 2013 Report Posted January 8, 2013 Pre-contract for Randolph at Motherwell? Quote
manc_don Posted January 8, 2013 Report Posted January 8, 2013 Pre-contract for Randolph at Motherwell? Would be fantastic if we got him signed up. Definitely one that I am hoping Brown is utilising his connections on. Quote
BigAl Posted January 8, 2013 Report Posted January 8, 2013 Pre-contract for Randolph at Motherwell? Stop teasing Funster Quote
mizer Posted January 8, 2013 Report Posted January 8, 2013 Craig’s getting Randy ABERDEEN are pondering a pre-contract swoop for Motherwell keeper Darren Randolph. The Pittodrie club are in the market for a new keeper, with back-up Jason Brown out of favour and out of contract in the summer. Current Dons No1 Jamie Langfield’s place could also be under threat after he gifted a goal to Dundee United last week. Republic of Ireland ace Randolph is one of a host of Well players whose contracts expire at the end of the season. And Dons gaffer Craig Brown could be re-united with Randolph, 25, who he took to Fir Park when he was Well boss in 2010 after the keeper had failed to make the grade at Charlton. Randolph — capped once by Ireland — has been a huge hit since succeeding John Ruddy between the sticks at Fir Park last season and is sure to have a host of clubs chasing him. He has been linked with a move back to England, but Brown could yet try to tempt him to the Granite City. Brown is also keen to keep teen sensation Ryan Fraser at Pittodrie and has warned English clubs eyeing the winger this month that they will have to dig deep to lure him away. Fraser, 18, is out of contract in the summer and has refused the Dons’ final offer of an extension. Huddersfield Town lead a host of clubs who want to take him south. However Brown rates Fraser the best young player he has ever worked and is willing to gamble on keeping him until the summer and picking up just £250,000 in compensation rather than let him go on the cheap now. Brown said: “Other clubs have let players go to England for fees that I would regard as below their market value because of fears that they might get less for them when their contracts run out. “But I’m determined that won’t happen to us. “We want to keep our squad intact to aid our bid to progress in the Scottish Cup and finish as high as possible in the league. “Each league position is worth about £76,000, so the better placed we are, the more money the club would make. “We could also qualify for Europe which would be a chance to generate even more revenue next season. “Any potential fee would need to be good enough to cover for the risk of maybe missing out on some of that because we have lost a key player from the squad.” Dons legend Willie Miller has urged Fraser not to waste his talent by joining Championship side Huddersfield. The former Pittodrie skipper and boss helped set up the club’s youth academy which produced the winger and he said: “I would hope Ryan’s ambitions are higher than a desire to play for Huddersfield. “A move there would hardly be a step up for Ryan in a playing sense. “He is far too good a talent to waste the next few years of his career with the likes of them. “He could spend the next three years sealing his position as first pick at Pittodrie and developing as a player.” Read more: http://www.thesun.co.uk/scotsol/homepage/sport/spl/4731594/Craigs-getting-Randy.html#ixzz2HNLwaDoD Quote
glasgowdon Posted January 8, 2013 Report Posted January 8, 2013 Could even be wide an offer a swap with Brown. Lulz. Quote
TENEMENTFUNSTER Posted January 8, 2013 Report Posted January 8, 2013 Randy double Brown option? Quote
RDU_64 Posted January 8, 2013 Report Posted January 8, 2013 Randolph would be a great signing. I really hope we are making attempts to sign him on a pre-contract. As a believer that Langfield isn't good enough, even being linked with keepers is an encouraging sign. Quote
Edinburghdon Posted January 8, 2013 Report Posted January 8, 2013 A football agent on Twitter is reporting that we are interested in signing Andrew Shinnie on a pre contract agreement. *edit* The same guy has reported that ourselves and Kilmarnock tried to get Liam Miller on loan until the end of the season, currently playing for Perth glory Quote

BigAl Posted January 8, 2013 Report Posted January 8, 2013 Liam Miller must be forty plus by now surely ? Quote
maverick sheep Posted January 8, 2013 Report Posted January 8, 2013 Liam Miller must be forty plus by now surely ? 31. Though to be fair, I imagine at your age 9 years here or there is a fairly negligible difference... Quote
