peebles jambo Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 Sorry, I haven't kept up with the confirmations/rumours ....... Did H1b5 not announce that Whittiker had signed for them already? Im sure I saw a tweet from them saying he'd chosen them ahead of us? Very much doubt this as Whittaker is a Jambo, used to work with one of his mates Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rudolf's Mate Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 Aberdeen is a very decent place. But in relative terms it is small and it takes that bit longer to get anywhere, so its not handy. The people are all cold like myself though! The weather as well, notice we were the first to lose the heat wave! In fact 5 minutes without a cloud could be described as a North East heatwave. Contrary to popular opinion it is quite dry, its not a rainy place, but generally quite breezy. Far worse places to be, especially for someone who is earning, not convenient Agreed. It was more the scenery/views I was on about. It's where I live bud and it's stunning, still miss the capital though! Whilst Aberdeen might not be appealing to some the surrounding area is stunning. Let's not kid ourselves on that the quiet life up there might act appeal to many. My mums best friend had a very large place in Aberdeenshire and it and the surrounding grounds were stunning.

on&up2017 Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 And why would that be? I understand the comment form BelgeJambo completely. Rangers have previous of signing players we are supposedly interested in, now they have a solid link to Man City it really wouldn't surprise me.

Special Agent Dale Cooper Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 I live in Aberdeen presently...not by choice mind. It's a horrendous place.

Mikey1874 Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 Has about one good game in ten. There's a reason he's still a Hamilton player at 25.

J.T.F.Robertson Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 Had a nice wee flat in Mile End Avenue (#4, I think) back in the late '70's, worked up at Bridge o' Don. Aberdeen was alright, although I'd head to Edinburgh every second weekend when I wasn't on call to catch the fitba and the Sunday "Northern" nights at the Grosvenor Hotel. Right, anyone signed yet?

Sent from my Swift 2 using Tapatalk Aberdeen the city is as you say is miserable as f@#k I'm from the shire the whole area is the same fraserburgh,Peterhead all the same! I'm biast towards Edinburgh for obvious reasons but that aside if I had the option of playing football in either city Scotland's Capitol would win if for nowt else their team is the best they've had in over a decade and they don't get the support home crowds are lucky if they reach 12k which is ridiculous! Whether their new stadium will help I don't know it's making fans travel out of the city,OK not far but if they're form dips the 12k will be less!

Escobar PHM Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 So we're giving up on transfers and talking about the merits of living in Aberdeen now. Luckily I have some experience of it. I lived there for around 18 months about 15 years ago. At that time it was a great place, especially for a night out. Brilliant pubs and clubs. Decent restaurants, compact city centre with hardly any bother in it. Pretty easy to get from A to B. Nice folk. The downside. Well I went back for a short stay last year. The place is dying on its arse. Some formerly good pubs have gone, same with restaurants. Shops are closing.Union Street has changed markedly. Those pubs, restaurants and shops that are still open are deserted and struggling. Its lost its mo-jo and I'd pick Edinburgh every time on every level if you put a choice in front of me.

Union street is yesterday it's all Union Square now. Certainly not dying evolving into a more modern compact city. Don't get me wrong Aberdeen is not a special place to stay but on a 2 year contract earning maybe 25% more than what we would pay, that's just a throw away number, when most of your time is focusing on the football then it's not so bad.
