Our super duper scouting will unearth his replacement...
Welcome aboard Ross Stewart, the 6'2 target man from Ross County.
Good luck Big Sam. You scored a lot of goals and made us decent money so we can’t grumble too much.
I do fancy a flutter on you to get a red card on your debut though as an over enthusiastic donkey is always a danger to those around him
Maddison had already joined Norwich for about £6m at the point when we signed him on loan so it wasn't exactly like unearthing an unknown. Danny Ward was on the fringes of the Liverpool first team and in Welsh international squads. I could probably have told you based on that information alone that they would be good players. McInnes still managed to have Maddison sitting on the bench or playing out of position most of the time though.
The s*n are reporting we are looking at Fraser Hornby. Scottish under 21 striker playing in France
