The January transfer window

[Aldo1983]

Nothing wrong with loans provided it doesn't create the unfair advantage/monopoly like the Chelsea scenario.

The whole Christie situation is completely wrong. We are the ones lapping it up though. When you boil it down, it's the top club keeping a lid on the next best club. It suits them better than it suits us.

I’m increasingly aware that my views on Aberdeen are maybe a little outdated but the Christie loan deal is every bit as embarrassing as the 9-0 & giving Ricky Foster the captaincy

Long term I agree with you.

We will never, ever be able to compete with Celtic and nobody really gives a ****.

It's just capitalism delivering it's inevitable consequence.

One club (company) owning or in charge of everything.

If we continue to allow loans, in any form, then there is nothing to stop Celtic signing every promising youngster in Scotland.

There is nothing capitalist about a monopoly.

Their a bigger club than us, get over it.

One of the biggest 'Capitalists' I have ever met:

Loans MUST be banned.

The loan system can work (see Scott McKenna) , but never ever should clubs allowed to loan within the same league.

I'd never even heard of Duncan Skinner, where does he get his money from?

Football has to get rid of all sponsorship from bookies, or even better get rid of all sponsorship alltogether.

Loans of players between football clubs is an abomination, the fact that we join in is a disgrace.

He was CFO (or something of the sort) at AOC/PSN whatever Oilfield body shop. All the senior figures i knew back in the day were rampant huns and i had no idea he was involved with the Dons. Not, in my opinion, fit and proper but hey ho in fitba anyone's money appears to be good enough.

On loans for me it should stopped between teams involved in the same competition - in any other work it would be a conflict of interests. But if it goes on between leagues or organisations - meh.
