AshtonRobin21 Posted April 14, 2023 Report Share Posted April 14, 2023 Early links to Ross McCrorie (former Rangers), 25 years old, Centre midfielder, currently playing for Aberdeen. Pete O’Rourke is the journalist, so highly reliable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worth noting that it highlights we are one of many clubs interesting, however Pete O’Rourke is usually highly reliable with his information. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So does that mean it's really just us then? Or maybe not even us? What sort of attraction are we v third placed SPL side? Do we offer comparable wages?

Ska Junkie Posted April 14, 2023 Report Share Posted April 14, 2023 (edited) 6' 3, right age. We've seen worse rumours. I've no idea on any prospective fee but would imagine we could top their wages. According to this we certainly can. https://salarysport.com/football/scottish-premiership/aberdeen/ Edited April 14, 2023 by Ska Junkie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for wages, we’d blow any SPL team out of the water bar the big two. Every window there’ll be 2, 3, 4 Scottish players mentioned in articles with us, Swansea, etc mentioned. Recently, Josh McPake, David Bates, Jordan Jones, Jamie McCart, etc. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
INCRED Posted April 14, 2023 Report Share Posted April 14, 2023 Centre half/midfielder just what we need, no idea as to his strengths but must be half decent if Rangers signed him 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glynriley Posted April 14, 2023 Report Share Posted April 14, 2023 He’s playing right wing back tonight. Obviously versatile which NP likes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davefevs Posted April 14, 2023 Report Share Posted April 14, 2023 Here’s his data as a CB: comes out looking more rounded as a RB / RWB compared to other full-backs in the SPL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose it must be like Colin's whining about the 'ghost goal' while conveniently forgetting about our 'second goal' incorrectly given offside. Selective memory I think it's called.

Northern Red Posted April 17, 2023 Report Share Posted April 17, 2023 Interestingly, Nige didn't dismiss it when asked earlier, it was more a general "won't commit on speculation". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
