This is going to be one hell of an interesting transfer window. Hopefully the McInnes Aberdeen players are getting moved on or sold. I really wouldn’t mind Ferguson, McCrorie, Considine and Lewis leaving the club. We need change, let it happen.
In days gone bye, a player got a cut of his transfer fee if the club sold him.
UNLESS he had requested a transfer.
If he had put in a transfer request then he got bugger all.
Different now is it?

Recruiting young players like Ferguson , Cosgrove , giving them games , selling on for profit is the future of the club .
Also helps attract other young players with potential.
Should be looking to sell two or more each season
He's also one of McInnes' boys. Signed with the view of playing regular football then moving on.
Has to be the business model ,gets more money in , buy more talented youngsters , sell on ..
We definitely need to become better at trading players if we want to continue growing the club. Fair play since Cormack has become Chairman we have the following:
£50k Kennedy
£800k Hernandez
£10k M. Gallagher
£350k McCrorie
£3.5M McKenna
£2.0M Cosgrove
£200k Wright
Compare that to the previous 20 years and it is clear we are starting to trade players more. It would be clear as day that trading players would have been one of the obvious 'shared learnings' we had that 3 months of comparing notes with Atlanta.
I'd be hoping we can get close to £4M for Ferguson but maybe that looks less likely after this move today.
It looks a racing certainty he'll go this summer but we have time on our side
Irvine's not one I really know much about, although I know he has been linked with us. You reckon he's any good?
I like the look of McGrath from what I've seen. I didn't realise compensation would need to be paid for Campbell - that possibly would exclude us from that deal.
