WHAT'S THE POINT! The signing of loan players is a necessary evil in the game these days. Celtic and Rangers will do it in order to get better players into the first team squad than they could afford normally. That is the feckin point of having Christie last year which incidentally helped us achieve 2nd place in the league.
Why should AFC be any different to any other team in the world?
I liked the bit where he scored the winning goal in a cup final against us, after we developed him for the best part of two years. That was great fun
Are you having a laugh min, you honestly don't see anything wrong in taking a player on loan from Timothy and developing him into a better player and at the same not being able to play them against their parent club, aye, right OK then.
Never said Aberdeen should be any different when it comes to loaning players in our out, I just tend to think that taking one in on loan from any club in the same league is fkn ridiculous, but if you are fine with than then fair enough, each to their own and all that p1sh.
For me if we do it again we would all be as well pack it all in tomorrow, I would be left askign myself what is the point in AFC and where is our ambition
But hey ho what the fk do I know
SF
I also reeks of utter laziness. "Oh hes available lets take him". No scouting required as per usual
Not contributing on this individual example but loaning players in the same league/competition is ridiculous.
OK so they can't play against their parent club. But they could (say) injure a player their club is playing next, hear about potential signings , injuries, disquiet.
Any other walk of life it would be a conflict of interests.
There should be a set time you can loan players for as well. The Huns having Defoe for 18 months is ridiculous
