I think Shinnie will go. Aberdeen are a club going places and on the up, the city's behind them and its scary what to think they will be like in a couple is seasons. He's an Aberdeen lad and playing in front of 10,000+ every home game and 40,000 seen at park head and incredible away support from Aberdeen is better than 1,000 every week up here, they also be able to offer him better wage and with Rooney, Hayes and Robson being there he'll already have friends. In the end its up to him but we there isn't much up here to persuade him to stay. Will be sad to see him go but thats football

Yeah they did this season, interesting to see those stats next year if they don't have a great season. All the glory hunters will disappear again. Where are those 30,000 extra fans they brought to the cup final every week?

No matter your opinion on the man, I personally think the situation for managers in football is absolute madness. I know it's a result driven sport but no one is given any time these days. Being sacked after 7 months after inheriting a crap team is just mental, plus after releasing half the squad they now have no manager roughly 6 weeks before pre season. Looks like the hibs board are resigned to staying in the championship got at least 2 years! On Stuart McCall going there, not a chance, who is going to give up a team that consistently finishes top 3 and has European football next year for the championship?

All in all the heart and soul of football is getting ripped out of it and it is purely about making money these days.

I think the time for us to part with shinnie will come as there is No doubt he is the best defender in our league. I would imagine he has playing for scotland in his dreams and to do so he will need to move to either celtic or England so I'm not too worried about this rumour. Plus he's worth 7 figures easy!

Reckon we still need to lock down Tansey, Shinnie, McKay, Watkins, Meekings and Raven this summer as they would be the ones I'd be poaching. I'd like Ross to get an extension but can see it would be frustrating having to settle for the od substitution. Polworth and Devine extensions in January as well.
