Gabriel Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 They're both good players though so are worth taking a "risk" on They're also both more experienced in terms of having been around different clubs and types of football. Diamond is therefore a greater risk and would presumably have already signed by now if it were happening. Question is, do we look for a replacement or settle for who we have?

primrose Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 A few dodgy quotes on that DR link regarding Mr Diamond. Personally I never thought he was up to being our centre half, but I am always willing to trust JJ. Hope the guy gets himself sorted though, would be a real shame if he loses out with the Dons as he has held our for a contract with HMFC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Comedian Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 JJ wants to sign Diamond and he's not what I'd call a crock. The price is right and there is plenty of time to pass a medical. He's gone stale at Aberdeen (who wouldn't) so a fresh start and better CB partner to take the lead might work wonders. He'll still sign IMO and I have no problem with that.

redm Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 It's at times like this when I have to sit back and remind myself that people like JJ have an eye for things I don't and are hugely experienced professionals who understand the game a zillion times better than I can ever hope to do. If he thinks Diamond can come good with us then I'll trust his superior judgement - however, in the meantime and until he's in maroon (ick) I'll just get a bit hopeful that the deal's off when I read things like this thread.

You have to go with the manager. If JJ signs him and he proves to be of limited use then he should take the blame; however, some of the comments on here are just ridiculous considering he hasn't pulled a marroon jersey on yet.

What i posted about FW, wasn't an alternative to ZD, think we'll go for him whatever. Certainly on the cards but not a defo I appreciate we don't have the money to employ a worldwide network of scouts but we really should have at least a couple - one to scour the reserve/lower leagues of the UK & Ireland (look how many decent players Motherwell and Utd have picked up for pennies) and one to keep an eye on eastern/central europe. I believe we had ex St Mirren boss Tom Hardie doing a bit of work for us at one point and the last proper scout we had at the club was Simon Hunt. During that period we picked up Skacel, Bednar, Banks and Pospicil for relatively low fees. We made an instant ?1m profit on Rudi and ?2.3m on Bednar (although we would've arguably made a bit more if we'd had a settled management team in place). Seems like a long long time ago since we picked up a good player from overseas that wasn't costing us a fortune. There must still be hundreds of De Vries', Fuller's and Adam's still out there.

This article from 2009 might be of interest P&J 2009 Diamond's Ankle You are right. Stephen Elliott had a history of injures too, but to a lesser extent. If ZD were to sign, this could be JJ's downfall. Much of our form towards the end of the season was blamed on KK being injured. But he was signed with a history. If the same were to happen again with ZD, then JJ could and should be on thin ice, especially combined with the fact ZD is gash and a horrible bigot.

I started it! Barr was signed by VR. If JJ knows he's getting ZD, wouldn't he speak to someone he knows about him? Sometimes VR will strongly recommend we sign someone. Better letting him have his way once in a while. Gota know how to handle him and I think JJ does a better job than any manager we've had in the past. As I say, believe what you want. Problem on here is when people genuinely have info that may be of interest, well, we know the problem. As for Barr being a VR signing cos he flopped. Check through my history (which would be great fun anyway - I'm quite a card) and you'll see I defend VR more than accuse or chastize. I used Barr as an example cos he's a Scottish player VR signed cos he saw other, rival clubs wanting him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ritchies75 Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 Just to bring people back down to earth with a thud: From BBC Zander Diamond's move from Aberdeen to Hearts has been held up after a medical highlighted an ankle injury. The Tynecastle club will seek a second opinion but BBC Scotland believes the out-of-contract defender is still likely to make the switch. Diamond, 25, is thought to have sustained the injury two years ago. The centre-half came through the Dons youth team and has been a first-team regular for eight seasons, but manager Jim Jefferies wants him at Tynecastle.

JJ was on the radio a couple of weeks ago regarding the earlier signings and was asked by Jim Spence about Diamond. He said he thought the lad was a good player who'd gone stale and was worth signing as a fresh start would do him good. He's had good reports on him regarding his application in training and that he fits in well. There was more. In short, he's a JJ target and you are talking out yer Jamie Mole.
