manc_don Posted March 16, 2016 Report Posted March 16, 2016 Seems to be that agent scotland on twitter thats talking about it... probably says it all really. They can be interested all they like, which may well be true, but he wouldn't sign for scum like them. Dirty racist scum. Quote
rocket_scientist Posted March 16, 2016 Report Posted March 16, 2016 He's human and therefore he will sign for whoever pays him the most. Quote
Tyrant Posted March 16, 2016 Report Posted March 16, 2016 He's human and therefore he will sign for whoever pays him the most. This is normally what I'd think but I get the feeling that Shay has strong morals and they wouldn't allow him to sign for the Tims. Although it is a good 3 hours closer to his family. Quote
manc_don Posted March 18, 2016 Report Posted March 18, 2016 Aberdeen defender Shay Logan appears close to reaching an agreement to extend his stay at the club. The defender had been expected to return to England to be closer to his family when his contract expires at the end of the season but Dons boss Derek McInnes is optimistic the 28-year-old will sign up for another year at Pittodrie. McInnes said: “We would like him to stay. “He has such a strong connection here that he would love to stay and we are just trying to find a way to make it happen. “We will probably get this game out of the way then we have two weeks before the next game and we will see if we can shed a bit more light in the situation.” Please make this happen!

Reidzer 1314 Posted April 28, 2016 Report Posted April 28, 2016 Shay stays!!! New two year deal! http://www.afc.co.uk/news/7788.php#.VyHfZfmLSJA Quote
manc_don Posted April 28, 2016 Report Posted April 28, 2016 Massive news! So chuffed about this. Quote
wi_09 Posted April 28, 2016 Report Posted April 28, 2016 Excellent news!! Good to tie up one of our most consistent performers. Although I wouldn't be surprised if this time next year we are hearing "he has been sh!t£ since he signed his new deal, we should have let him go" or "Logan out of position again and cost us another goal why did we keep him" from certain sections of our support who never seem to be happy. Hopefully this is the beginning of some other decent players coming in. Quote
ayrshire_don74 Posted April 28, 2016 Report Posted April 28, 2016 Best RB we have had , well for fkn ages, great attitude also , fantastic Quote
Jute Posted April 28, 2016 Report Posted April 28, 2016 Actually cheered when I read he was staying. Got a few funny looks in the office. Excellent bit of business. Quote
manc_don Posted April 28, 2016 Report Posted April 28, 2016 Fantastic news. Great to see him stay. He plays for the club, love his banter with the unwashed fans He is the only one in that team that has the balls to do it. Every one of that team should be capable of giving those scum bags abuse / banter (delete as appropriate) and I love it when he does. Edit: He said that European football was a major factor in him staying. Quote
RicoS321 Posted April 28, 2016 Report Posted April 28, 2016 Nice work dons. Another summer worry put to bed nice and early. Need to move quickly on a 'keeper too and give us plenty of time and opportunity to focus on getting a few more before europe starts. Nice one Shay. Quote
BigAl Posted April 28, 2016 Author Report Posted April 28, 2016 Fan fucking tastic....... As has already been said, great attitude, great relationship with the fans and a winning mentality, not to mention the fact he is a decent right back to boot Quote
KennyFuckinPowers Posted February 23, 2019 Report Posted February 23, 2019 Shay likely to miss the remainder of the season with an operation, and McInnes is looking to bring in an out of contract RB to fill the position. Anyone know of any decent free RB's? Could always go with Ball there for the rest of the season, but I don't think that'll sit too well with the vast majority. Quote
Slim Posted February 23, 2019 Report Posted February 23, 2019 Who’s playing RB in the reserves? Virtanen? Might be worth giving him a go. I guess we can’t bring Harrington back from his loan? Quote
donsdaft Posted February 23, 2019 Report Posted February 23, 2019 Easiest position on the field to play so most could do it (nae Ball) But you're right, this should be a case of the reserve (under whatever now) right back just stepping in. Minimum of fuss, minimum of disruption. Quote
tom_widdows Posted February 26, 2019 Report Posted February 26, 2019 Greg Halford in to replace him? Appears he hasn't played since last season https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greg_Halford https://www.walesonline.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/loneliness-jobless-footballer-what-happened-15313506 Quote
manc_don Posted February 27, 2019 Report Posted February 27, 2019 Very good pedigree imo, better than what I thought we would sign. But as you point out, hasn't played since last year, why? Could be a bit of shrewd business...here's hoping anyway Quote

Could be a bit of shrewd business...here's hoping anyway Probably as good as you are going to get at this time of year. Looks like he can play centre half or right back. Quote
scotfree Posted February 27, 2019 Report Posted February 27, 2019 Looks like Halford was well liked by the Cardiff fans. http://www.cardiffcityforum.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=198217 http://www.ccmb.co.uk/showthread.php?435024-I-thought-he-was-a-good-player-for-us&highlight=Greg+Halford Quote
Chris Frae Killie Posted February 27, 2019 Report Posted February 27, 2019 From the sound of the Cardiff City fans comments, he is like Considine. Dependable, nothing fancy, just does the job asks of him. Quote
Ten Caat Posted February 27, 2019 Report Posted February 27, 2019 6'4" so will have the turning circle of a cross Channel ferry. Not really convinced he has been signed as a straight Logan replacement.....I've got a hunch we will see a change in tactics from now till season's end where we go with a back 3 and utilise any 2 from Lowe, McGinn, GMS and McLennan as wing backs so he's more cover for McKenna Devlin or Consi. If I'm wrong then God help us on Sunday should he get put in at right back. Kent will tie him in knots. Quote

If I'm wrong then God help us on Sunday should he get put in at right back. Kent will tie him in knots. I think you might be right. Although I don't think we'll necessarily change tactics for tonight and against the bottom 6 teams in general. Post split last season, we succesfully switched to a 4-5-1 type format with Ball as an additional midfielder. I expect he'll want to do similar this season post-split but with a 3 as you suggest. I actually think we'd be better retaining the back 4. Considine's worst performances at left back were when we dicked about with a back 3 or 5, leaving his pace exposed (usually to a Tim winger). When he was left of a back 4 and able to sit right on top of his man he was significantly better and often very good. Given we have Lowe at left back, who is very forward thinking, in my mind we can just simply invert our lopsided one attacking full back, one defensive full back method to suit. I suppose it's pragmatism really. Even with this new guy, I suspect we don't have an actual right back, so we need to pick the least worst option. A back five would be fine up until we're due to fill the right wing back place. McGinn would be the only one, for me, that could be trusted to track back as well as get forward, but I think we'd struggle to accomodate that formation with our other personnel and we'll get congested - especially at Pittodrie which is quite narrow. Either way, we've nae got the perfect solution. Quote
