Dunk-Section G Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 Craig Brown is quoted in the EEN today saying that we can offer Diamond double his basic wage at Aberdeen. Can that be right? I dont support the idea of bringing him to the club so would certainly hope we would not offer him double bubble, but surely he must be on one of the better wages at the Sheep?

heartsfc_fan Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 Probably on ?1,500 or ?2,000 a week currently, so I would believe it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree that he shouldnt becoming to the club, but why offer double? Surely his current + 5-10%. Who else is going to take him or can afford him?

rossthejambo Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 I've no doubt we probably can afford to double his basic wage, but there is no way we should be offering him it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sjh1874 Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 Whilst i have no desire to see him at Tynecastle in a Hearts top I reckon him playing along side Webster may not the most popular pairing by a long shot but will ultimately prove more robust and less likely to bomb scare moments ala Sunday. Just my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erik Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 Without seeing the whole quote to judge the context its written in, i'd take that more as Paw Broon working from the assumption that in the past we might have paid players sums that would equate to double what Plug is earning just now. By that logic, we "can" pay him double. I dont for a minute think that equates to "Hearts have come to the table and offered him a package which is double that which he is already on".

moogsy Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 Agree with the post above. Don't for a minute beleive that we'd actually offer this pleb twic his current wages. If so it would be a colossal waste of money. In fact, I'll double the wee scrotes wages just to keep him away from Tynecastle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just my opinion. Diamond just as prone to being a 'bombscare'. My worry about those 2 together would be lack of pace and injury prone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topcat Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 I'm not usually one for fan protests but I think a few old bedsheets with "ZANDER , NO THANKS!" printed on them may be in order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jambonian Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 Is Aberdeen's top wage not just ?1,900 a week? Not including bonuses and appearances. That's what i read sometime last season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jambonian Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 Do you think Zander Diamond is better than Zaliukas? Absolutely no chance! I've never been a fan of Zaliukas anyway, thought we'd have got rid of him yonks ago but if it was a choice between the two of them then Zaliukas should be playing for Barcelona in comparison, Diamond is that bad!!

B4 Part B Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 I like Zal, think he's a good solid player for us but think he will be off in the summer, prob part of the deal with him signing on this season was that he will get a chance to go as soon as we get an offer! Not a fan of Diamond, think he is worse than Zal and a bit of a knob to boot but think the idea is he's a centre half bod to replace Zal! p.s. Should say, hope I'm wrong!

On a side note, do you think Hmfckickback has jumped up the MI6/FBI internet watch lists with all the uses of "bombscare"!?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paw Broon is obviously desperate to get rid of this tool. Who has ever heard of a losing manager talking up the better conditions of one of their rivals to a player they actually wanted to hold on to? More "mind games" from Paw.

Gigolo-Aunt Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 If Aberdeen are that desperate to get rid of Z then surely they wouldn't have offered him a contract at all ? Just a thought. That's just crazy enough to work, DH. However..... The Warren Commission Doubters will no doubt say Aberdeen will take a stance that they were priced out of the market when it came to contract offers - even if they have no intention of keeping him. This makes this club save face. Some of you might have to google "Warren Commission", its well worth it though as It's a delightful (and topical) gag that gets better and better. No matter how many times you read it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
