Marley Watkins to Aberdeen

apparently his grandfather was a famous Welsh poet - Vernon Watkins

I got in at Cardiff, but the chairman blocked it (a longer-term deal) and Aberdeen were still interested, luckily. I can’t wait to get going – it’s a great club

Interesting quote.

I did wonder at the time whether it was a sign that the absolute say of the manager was somewhat diminished since the Warnock days, as I got the impression that he was Mick's guy and Mick wanted him in. purely guesswork though.
this would seem to back that up though.

anyway good luck to him up in Scotland

Indeed. We don't want any of this 'scoring goals with your feet' nonsense here.

I know, outrageous isn't it.

I bet he bit their hands off for a 2 year deal at 30 years of age, and with his appearance record over the last 3 years. I reckon its is better for City to use youngsters like Bowen or Sang anyway, and we'll see how his injury record is up there. I think our chairman will be proved to be right. Having said that he has been a Bluebird and the few of us who attended the Sutton game can always say 'I was there'!!
