Points 2&3) Again I don't think it is that simple. Players in the central belt can move between clubs up to around Dundee without moving house or kids school. I would therefore think that the package we have to offer must be significantly better than most to get the more experienced players to relocate. As for Curtis Main, whilst agreeing that it didn't work out for him here, he was unlucky with injury and did cause us problems when he was at Motherwell. Would be interesting to understand why he couldn't bring his Motherwell form to Aberdeen.
