My beef with Josh is his complete fucking inability to cut a ball back instead of shoot when at a tight angle. Lost count of the number of times he's wasted chances by either not cutting it back to a Dons player or driving it across in the hope that a defender will put it in. He's certainly not going to beat the keeper from that angle and that's only if he manages to avoid the side netting.  ::)

 

Nae fussed. Bye Josh.

ABERDEEN boss Craig Brown began his Pittodrie clearout by telling Northern Ireland international Josh Magennis that he’s free to leave if he can find another club.

 

The former Cardiff City striker, 21, was signed by Mark McGhee but has become frustrated at lack of first team football under the current regime.

 

Veteran Brown has ambitious plans to take the Pittodrie side to the next level and has only offered new deals to four of the dozen players out of contract in the summer.

 

But the cash-strapped club have insisted that players must be moved off the wage bill before replacements are brought in. Magennis is the first to leave but others will follow if they can be persuaded to move on.

 

Brown said: “Josh’s agent telephoned me to ask about his situation because he had not been getting a regular first team game.

 

“I have to stress that I didn’t call the agent in an effort to get rid of him. I’m in no hurry to see him leave as he has great potential.

 

“But if he believes it would be better to go elsewhere to play regularly we won’t stand in his way. I have told his agent to speak to us again if there is interest but so far that hasn’t happened.”

 

Brown ruled out securing short term replacements as cover for Peter Pawlett and Isaac Osbourne who picked up injuries at Forfar.

 

The results of scans will be known but both could be sidelined for long spells.

 

He said: “If we get bad news, it’s likely that we’ll just have to get on with what we have. A loan signing would be the most likely option.”

 

Meanwhile, the Dons’ teen stars Nicky Low and Joe Shaunessy will stay on loan at Forfar until the summer.

Slightly different story in the P&J:

 

Aberdeen rethink on Magennis as injuries bite

 

Published: 10/01/2012

 

ABERDEEN manager Craig Brown’s worst fears were realised yesterday when midfielders Peter Pawlett and Isaac Osbourne were ruled out for several weeks.

 

Injury doubts about leading scorer Scott Vernon and attacker Mohamed Chalali could scupper Josh Magennis’s hopes of leaving Pittodrie on loan this month.

Liam McLeod's latest tweet from about 30 mins ago

 

"There should be contract news for #Aberdeen supporters tomorrow, stay tuned to BBC Radio Scotland and http://bbc.co.uk/sportscotland"

 

Hope to fuck its something about Arnie and Crespo staying at the very least

 

Mackie has signed a 1 year extension to his contract...
