Summer Transfer Window (Stephen Glass’ first)

McLean is a much better player than Ferguson

I would agree with you but I seem to recall when he was here that there wasn’t a lot of people on here saying we were going to miss him.

As for Ferguson let’s see how his 36 year old replacement gets on next season before we decide whether or not we end up missing him.

Didn’t you say we wouldn’t miss McLean either?

We didn’t miss McLean


Well the McLean of the last few months maybe, but not the nancy boy he was before that.

Like everyone else in the team Ferguson has been poor since December/January but to say he won’t be missed as much as Scott Wright is a bit over the top.

Ferguson has put in some good performances and scored some important goals over the last couple of years.

Wright scored 2 goals,missed a load of chances and made a few good runs in half a season, he was as bad as the rest of them when he came back from his injury before he fecked off to the Huns.

^^^ This.

Ferguson has contributed far more over his time here than Scott Wright ever did. Scored a fair few important goals for us and aye maybe this season aside, always rolled up his sleeves and put a shift in.

It looks like he’s going to leave on a sour note though , hold out for what we can (4-5 mil??) and get rid and move on.

We’ve lost more important players in recent years for nothing so I’ll be happy to cash in now and see the money reinvested back into the squad .

He was exactly the same player in his entire time here.

The problem with McLean was he was one of McInnes favourites so he never got dropped or subbed when he wasn’t playing well.

We still miss him though as we have never managed to replace him.

Like any player in the League, unless they are extra special (eg Laudrup, Strachan) they are found out pretty quickly by opposing scouts, and nullified by tactics thus designed.

Ferguson was a bit of a surprise packet in that he was influential beyond his years when he first played for us. He did so well that he remained in the first team when, I understand, he was originally signed as a development/back-up midfielder.

He’s now less influential as opposition managers know how best to minimise his influence, and he needs to move to try to develop further.

£3.75m and add-ons, and he’s yours.

Other opinions are possible, but mine is correct.

He was signed to play. Clearly did better than expected. Scored some important goals but has went stale. It's the right time for him personally to move on. He should be annoyed with himself that he's not done enough to get into the Scotland squad.

The boy Virtinanaan is the ideal replacement. Maybe a bittiemore attack orientated too. ?


Wait ?!! Far izzee the noo ??
