Thommo 708 Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 On-loan Rangers striker Andrius Velicka has been told he has no future at Aberdeen and is hoping for a switch to Swiss strugglers St Gallen.The 31-year-old has played just five times for the Dons, and scored once, since arriving during the summer and has not featured since 11 December.And boss Craig Brown said: "I believe he is off on Thursday to Switzerland and may get a contract there." http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/a/aberdeen/9373767.stmStill cant believe we paid £1m for him Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've also made quite a bit of money from player sales e.g. Hutton, Cuellar, Cousin, pretty sure a million here and there for the likes of Sebo etc however we sold some players on the cheap as well.

MosesMcNeil 1,664 Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 Do we have anyone in a Damien Comolli type role or do we need one?So we could sign guys like, say, Ryan Babel or Alberto Aquilani?Every club buys players that don't work out as expected. It's a risky business where past performance offers no guarantee as to what the future holds. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
