Mitchel Frame

Unless we’re doing what Man City and their ilk do and including a buy-back clause, this just seems incredibly * stupid. I’ve no idea if he would’ve made it here in the long run, but he’s only 19 and showed potential when he did get opportunities - and our response to that was to punt him back in to the B-team and seemingly not bother trying to get him a meaningful, progressive loan or just some decent domestic minutes when we were comfortably in the lead. Bigger and/or better run clubs than ours are willing to give teenagers a genuine shot with the first team, with plenty of notable successes, but we’re somehow too good for it?

Go back a year, or * just the start of this window, and there were conversations being had about Anderson & Frame potentially either deputising for Tierney or becoming our starting LB over the next few seasons and now they’ve both been sold in the one window.

Tierney has yet to last the full 90, Inamura, despite showing some potential, is being mucked around and now we’re resorting to signing a random out of favour Uruguayan with alleged attitude issues and who appears to be trading off of his past potential, rather than his current not-so-great form.

We’re a complete * shambles at every level, from the board down.

 

Aberdeen have agreed a £250,000 deal with Celtic for their young left-back Mitchel Frame.


The Dons are now waiting on the green light for the medical and to complete the four-year deal.

 

I hope we've included a sell on percentage of next sale or buy back deal as I can see this working out for him if given game time.
