At the very worst, he ends up back at Aberdeen or someone like Hearts or Hibs in a couple of years, but if he's on a free in a couple of years, you could see Rangers or Celtic back in for him. I reckon once he fills his wheelbarrow with cash he heads back to Aberdeen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilko Posted August 22, 2023 Share Posted August 22, 2023 It's so nice nowadays that fees or wages from loans/sales are marked as "saved" or "recouped" as opposed to the lexicon of the Ashley-era, where said funds would have been "trousered".

NSG Posted August 22, 2023 Share Posted August 22, 2023 Assuming we wrote off his full contract as onerous last year, that’ll be a benefit to the bottom line next year in P&L terms Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was Clark, Gayle and Hendrick at that point. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He might just prefer sitting in front of his telly in Newcastle earning the £60k though. Isn't that the reason he's not moved in the past 12 months?

And the transfer window before that he looked like he could well be a regular so there wasn't much talk of him leaving.

Newcastle Fan Posted August 22, 2023 Share Posted August 22, 2023 Why are we so bad at getting rid of players, literally paying people to take them off us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were given wages higher than their quality and long contracts and for Fraser and Hayden both are injury prone. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because the players are Ashley era and generally not great quality for the wages they want. Not the current owners fault that no one wants them.

r0cafella Posted August 22, 2023 Share Posted August 22, 2023 Re Fraser, it’s important to remember we got him on a free when we were in the dumps and he was highly thought of hence his high wages relative to our other players. Given this he’s hard to shift as teams that can pay his wage don’t deem him to be worthy of them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erikse Posted August 22, 2023 Share Posted August 22, 2023 So he requested a move due to playing time but he's not prepared to take a pay cut, and would rather not play at all? I wonder if any club even tried to offer him less wages. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he genuinely wants to leave there should be enough clubs who would take him on subsidised wages. Hopefully he'll be gone by the time the transfer window closes then.
