JuanFloEvraTheCocu'sNesta Posted May 7, 2019 Share Posted May 7, 2019 Welcome on board, Shinniesta. Could be an incredible bit of business, this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dean (hick) Saunders Posted May 7, 2019 Share Posted May 7, 2019 Pleased with this, but think it is more of a Bryson replacement than BJ. I recon we will offer BJ a contract which is heavily incentive based such that he only gets something close to this years wedge if we get promoted.* *(All assuming we are unsuccesful in playoffs). If we do then get rid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkB Posted May 7, 2019 Share Posted May 7, 2019 Asked a Dons fan friend of mine what he thought... "Shinns is a great player and the Dons will really miss him. He is leader who will run through a brick wall for the team. Full of energy and running and carries the ball well going forward. Can play left-back, but McInnes preferred him in midfield. Great signing for the rams in my opinion. I also used to teach him and he is a lovely lad." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RiddingsRam Posted May 7, 2019 Share Posted May 7, 2019 This signing will have been thought about long and hard . Frank and the team behind the signing won't have just signed him for the championship. I'm not sure what peoples concepts are that if we get promoted he won't be good enough ? If we did get promoted , do you suddenly think we will be signing £10-£15 million players for each position ? For me this a shrewd signing for the whole concept of how we want to play . Frank's been desperate for that enforcer in the holding midfield role , Johnson has done ok and even well in patches but I wouldn't be comfortable with him as first choice in that role going into next season .

That was 3 weeks ago. The only reason I can think of why it hasn't been announced publicly is that the EFL want to wind up Pulis and Gibson for the lulz. You're so "street" Eddie....?

So at the risk of reopening old conversations, why would we allegedly be holding off for a little while because of ffp?

muttley72 Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 Asked my aunt about Shinnie, she’s been a season ticket holder at Aberdeen since time began. She says “you’ve got an excellent player that we would like to have kept. Hardworking, good on the ball, won’t shirk a hard tackle, great motivator of the younger lads and a thoroughly decent guy. Can you do your auld Aunty a favour and ask if we can keep Max Lowe, he been brilliant for us”. Sounds like a good bit of business... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kinder Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 I’m very pleased with this. I do like Scottish players, at the very least they tend to put a good shift in. Welcome to Derby the noo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rampage Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 On 07/05/2019 at 17:50, Needless said: Has he gone public on his position on haggis and jaeger? He was head of the wild Aberdeen Haggis breeding program. Recently it has been noticed that haggis only have haggisex on Burns night with bagpipes playing. This has kept wild haggis numbers in check but was not deliberate. No info was forthcoming on jaegar. Routers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
