1690 Posts 71 Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 Weird....around the time we initially signed him, the fee was around 2 million pounds, somebody doesn't have their story straight..... ahahahaha. Sorry but the price was in Euro's and the pound is devaluing against the Euro meaning you pay more. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lisa 3 Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 That's a lot of money Still, i'd like to see him stay He needs more experience in the SPL, but I think if given the chance(start him Walter!) he could be a really good signing for us. Here's hoping.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jardy 0 Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 maybe if bawbag smith gave him more time to show fans what kind of player he is there would be no debate here, but as it stands i can't comment as i havn't seen near enough football from the lad.

J-Maestro 11,193 Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 It still was never 2 euros to the pound when we signed him either. Probably a mis-translation. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
coop troop 106 Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 Might be as simple as timing of the notice Last sumer the bank rate was around 1.25 euro to the pound = 4m euro = £3.2m Christmas previous it was 1.38 to the pound = 4m euro = £2.9m But during both of those times it was expected that the euro would lose stringth and the GBP would revert to the 1.5 mark - which it hasnt. If it had - 4m euro = £2.6m So the price remains the same value abroad - but here its impossible. But, by 2010 - the Euro is still expected to go back closed to the 1.5 rates than the surrent ones. So it should be les than £3m - and if it is - we have spent that value on players which also dont get a game just this year alone... my tuppence worth - but, that tuppence is only a half penny now Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ManchestGer 347 Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 It seems like a lot of money right now but it all depends on his progress. He's young and he's got potential if he comes good over the remaining of the season and next then it could be a decent investment, with the possibility of making a profit out of him to the EPL. We have first option so its in our hands. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muff 245 Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 Well if we are willing to pay £2.25m for McCulloch, £2m for Naismith and Whittaker, £2.7m for Edu and £3.5m for Lafferty then I wouldn't have a problem paying £2m+ for Aaron. Only problem is that we don't have that sort of money to spend I think he's better than Beasley, Naismith and Fleck by a mile. Maybe a bit unfair on Fleck as he's a few years younger and has been stuck out on the left, a position that I hate him playing. Aaron is highly rated in Spain, he's now playing alongside the likes of Bojan, Sergio Asenjo, Javi Martinez, Sergio Busquets, Daniel Parjo, Jeffren Saurez, Diego Capel....and he's not looked out of place in the two games he's played for them. Lopez Caro, the head coach rates him very highly! Personally I'd have given him more games by now, McCoist pretty much said the same aswell - must be hard when you see the likes of Adam, McCulloch, Miller and Lafferty out on the left ahead of you. Hopefully we'll see him before now and the end of the season as there is no doubt he has something to offer. Then next season he can push on and hopefully become a 1st team regular. By the end of his loan deal I can see a host of clubs fighting for his signature! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

disgruntled_bear 157 Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 Were in no position to fork out €4 million for a player that's is struggling to break into Walter Smith plans. Even if he's showing a glimpse of potential! I expect us to focus more on Fleck. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Andypendek Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 Plainly, we are keeping him in the reserves in order to devalue his transfer worth. When the end of next season comes around, he should be worth about the same as Charlie Adam, we snap him up and Walter stands revealed as the master tactician he is!

Yeah because British papers will quote in pound sterling so punters here get their head around the exchange rate. Valencia would have set the fee and since they're in Spain and Spain uses the Euro it would have been set in Euro's. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amac9 2,060 Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 Well that looks like Aaron will be away. Although he is never going to be given a fair chance with Wally in charge, maybe it's best if he leaves for his sake. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
