Cal Sold to Aberdeen

[Mark_Ross]

Done deal

Sad to see him go, but I'll be more seriously upset if RR &/or Palmer exits.

Yep, but the key words are "provided we can invest the profit well". Not easy in my opinion. Plus I'm disappointed that I won't see Cal curl a 90th minute winner in the top corner tomorrow night.

Over to you Ruben.

Well this was always the model that was suggested ( buy good talent on the cheap get some value out of them in terms of on the pitch stuff then sell on for a tidy profit). With the money from the F-Word game and this we have made quite a bit of dosh Notts wise. Would you rather it was reinvested by Ray Trew or Alan Hardy or Radar? A nice little comparison like that should at least put you at ease a bit and give them a shout for me against f_word please. Here's to the Ruben top corner goal.

I'd go for Radar, mainly on the basis that they are still a relatively unknown quantity being compared to a couple of proven failures.

Because they seem a better option than very poor still doesn't make them good.

I desperately hope they turn out to be good, but I'm not convinced yet.

I don’t see the move to be money motivated at all. He said in an interview a few months ago he basically had a burning desire to try in the premier league. I think he’s got a point to prove, probably mainly towards Newcastle. For me he was our best player, others will disagree but I certainly don’t see us replacing him in the short term.

I don't think he meant Scottish Premier League though

Their manager has basically said he's cover for another player so unless he performs week in week out when he gets a chance he'll be keeping the bench warm. It's certainly a step upwards from our sh**e league that we're struggling to get out of with him and the money will be far better.

😂😂😂 no I don’t expect he did, it’s a pathway to the premier league though if he shines and especially in the big games. Haven’t heard what their manager said but sounds very motivational 😂

Well to be fair Elite radar have been going at it just as long as Alan did and not a todger in sight. I wouldn't say its anything amazing but then it was never suggested that it would be as far as I can see. At least we win more than we lose now.

Must admit I never saw keeping todgers out of sight as a measure of success!

At least we win more than we lose now.

We do, but at level 5. I suspect if we get relegated we will win even more.

The statement from the club on this is very sensitively worded. I'd encourage all of our fans who are critical of this decision to give it a full read.

Those saying they don't have faith that our owners/ football radar can find an adequate replacement for Cal seem to be forgetting the fact that they are the same people who signed him in the first place.

I'm fully aware that they are the people who discovered him, but I also think he was the jewel in their crown and will be very difficult to replace.

My hopes for the coming season are lower than they were this morning.
