Asking if I’d heard any rumours about him coming here. I’m calling wind up as hell knows how annoying/frustrating I found him at West Ham plus his wages must be huge He's a free agent, doesnt have a contract so his wages currently are £0. That being said, no chance. Some daft championship club down south will take him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got a feeling they will get shot of it next 5 years, Aberdeen needs a major overhaul, council know it and will be proactive through this decade I'm sure (first for everything). Road infrastructure has taken priority once that has passed it will be city centre regeneration which will take in seafront too.

steve123 Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 If we are indeed signing a striker it is pretty impressive that nobody has a scooby who it is.

Pasquale for King Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 23 minutes ago, Costanza said: I thought he was dropped for Gordon for this game but not 100%. All I can remember of Moilanen was when the crowd asked him to give us a wave, he just did an annoying pat at the side of his waist. I'm sure there is more to his Hearts career than that. Lost an awful goal to Hibs at ER to O’Connor when they were down to ten men, they hadn’t beaten us for a good few years and hundreds of them invaded the pitch at the end and the police formed a cordon along the bottom of our end to stop us from getting on the pitch too. My abiding memory of him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Apprentice Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 11 minutes ago, Pasquale for King said: Fans of Dinamo Bucaresti claimed he was the worst player they’d ever seen, I know who’s opinion I would be more interested in to be honest. He and Berra should never have been anywhere near out team last year, both now playing for teams more suited to their abilities. Just need Roberts out the door now and last years mistakes have just about been rectified. For a minute there I thought I was the only one with the opinion Popescu was guff! Maybe folk have just forgotten how much of a bombscare he was because he's not been seen in so long. In fairness to the guy, I was in hospitality for the Aberdeen game and Gary Naysmith was very complimentary about him after he played against Edinburgh City in the cup the other week. Said for a senior player he put himself about and talked the young lads through the game when a lot of players could have downed tools and went through the motions. Maybe he's found his level.
