RicoS321 Posted August 21, 2018 Report Posted August 21, 2018 I feel for Hamilton, but we've been burnt ourselves with this situation. Absolutely delighted that we have Ferguson. I don't know, it all seemed a little after the event from them. We had similar with Fraser (not with a tribunal obviously), but everyone - quite rightly - was annoyed with AFC for not acting sooner. We clearly didn't realise we had a player on our hands, and then dicked about offering insulting development wages to a guy who was clearly going to be a first teamer. Everyone blamed the club (a few the player), and correctly so. It was a mistake, and the hope is that we've learned from that. Compare that with our handling of McKenna and it's night and day. The minute he showed first team promise we got him nailed down with a respectful offer on a long contract. Hamilton's entire business model is to promote youth and sell on, that they've made such an error is something that their fans should be holding their CEO to account for. The obvious, and only plausible, conclusion is that they didn't think they had a player on their hands like we did Fraser. The tribunal, it sounds, came to the only conclusion it good given player development and contract offers. Quote
Guest kiriakovisthenewstrachan Posted August 21, 2018 Report Posted August 21, 2018 Hamilton feel they have been robbed but if he was still under contract and we had just made an offer of say 750K for a player with so little experience our support would be up in arms. Valuing a player who has played 14 games for Hamilton at any more than a couple of hundred thousand would be crazy. It's night and day comparing his value to that of James McCarthy which they had eluded to. McCarthy had played a good two or three seasons for the club before he was sold and was much more experienced. Quote
Jute Posted September 7, 2018 Report Posted September 7, 2018 Ferguson made his debut for Scotland U21s coming on as sub against Andorra last night. Almost got a debut goal as well. Quote
Jute Posted January 4, 2019 Report Posted January 4, 2019 According to Accies accounts the transfer fee for Ferguson was £237,950. Quote
Ten Caat Posted February 16, 2019 Report Posted February 16, 2019 Derek Ferguson confirms on Radio Scotland that Lewis will be signing the new contract sometime in the coming week. Says everyone at the club have been brilliant with him and is loving life in Aberdeen. Excellent news Quote
manc_don Posted February 17, 2019 Report Posted February 17, 2019 That is outstanding news if it happens. He's still got a lot to learn, but can't fault his desire and passion. The end product is clearly there. Quote
LA-Don Posted February 17, 2019 Report Posted February 17, 2019 I’d say it won’t be too long before Ferguson gets more attention than McKenna in the transfer market. Quote
TheDeeDon Posted February 21, 2019 Report Posted February 21, 2019 Good news, both the loon and his Dad seem to be very happy with how he is treated and being developed and hopefully he can kick on and become a big player for us and make us a few quid in the future. Quote
Jute Posted June 1, 2020 Report Posted June 1, 2020 Lewis Ferguson nominated for young player of the year. https://mobile.twitter.com/AberdeenFC/status/1267421887677648896 Quote
manc_don Posted June 3, 2020 Report Posted June 3, 2020 Very pleased for him. Was a bit hot and cold over the season (what was played) but by and large is a highly talented player. How long is he signed up for? Quote
BigAl Posted June 4, 2020 Author Report Posted June 4, 2020 Very pleased for him. Was a bit hot and cold over the season (what was played) but by and large is a highly talented player. How long is he signed up for? Until summer of 2024 Quote
BigAl Posted June 4, 2020 Author Report Posted June 4, 2020 Who is he up against??? Hockey, Campbell & McCann Quote

TheDeeDon Posted June 11, 2020 Report Posted June 11, 2020 Good to hear this. I thought he had a good season with us last year, though his falling about does piss me off, but i think that is coached into him. One more season with us and I would say he would need to move to make it to the next level and I don't mean the zombie club. Quote
DantheDon Posted June 11, 2020 Report Posted June 11, 2020 One more season with us and I would say he would need to move to make it to the next level and I don't mean the zombie club. Think that depends on us aswell. If we do manage to actually qualify for a European competition and start pushing at the top of the league again there is no reason he couldn't keep developing here for another few years. Quote
BigAl Posted August 6, 2021 Author Report Posted August 6, 2021 According to his Hun father he is on little more than £500, per week even after signing his extended contract which he appeared to be perfectly happy to sign. Tough shit Quote
manc_don Posted August 8, 2021 Report Posted August 8, 2021 Definitely feels like a player trying to engineer a move out the club. Wonder how much longer he'll be with us. I'm hoping he moves sooner rather than later in this window, if he is moving. Quote

Would certainly like it to be the boy from st mirren. A bit more creative and attack minded than Ferguson but we’ve plenty of holding and box to box central midfielders already. Quote
baggy89 Posted August 9, 2021 Report Posted August 9, 2021 Club should tell Ferguson every time someone from his family/team whines to the media or mentions gentleman’s agreement, the asking price doubles. Although his lack of involvement yesterday may suggest an acceptable offer has been received? Quote
