Maybe their recruitment team has spotted something that is worth the investment. Hickey has turned out to be a decent signing for them despite many on here, myself included, doubting whether he was good enough for Serie A.
Obligation to buy is £3.5m (if they stay up)
He’s definitely got something about him and is still young, in the right team he’ll probably do well. That money for Aberdeen is pretty decent and could see them accepting it.
If Ferguson joins he’d be the 5th Scottish youth cap playing in Italy this season, turning into a mini Scotland

Hopefully Ferguson tries to force this, would do his career a world of good.That is pretty mental
Good to see Scottish footballers getting some recognition in a foreign league and it will only help the reputation of Scottish football.
Didn’t realise until looking him up there that he’s still only 22, seems to have been around for ages now.
I’ll say it, we should be in for him if not to see if he can kick in but also for the home players in Europe
Not at the price that Aberdeen would want, we can get so much better for 3-4 million quid.
I agree with this but some posters have a meltdown on here if you mention his name.
Offer them Simpson and Barker ( before anyone else gets in their )
We definitely have players who would probably interest them. Kelly could have made a good makeweight in a deal. They need to replace Hedges who looks like he is off.
Offer him hair transplants for life
Paid near a million quid for the guy and he’s been seen about 4 times, to then pitch up at one of their associate teams .... Can see why people might be cynical
The FBI would be saying “what’s an Aberdeen” until he came out assuring everybody nothing dodgy went on.

Am I reading that right? Sheep would get £3.5 million IF Cagliari avoid relegation?
It has turned out to be a terrific move for the lad. It is exactly what our game needs - good young Scottish talent getting out of the p!sh that is served up by the clubs in the SPFL and learning their trade in a big, technical league.
Seen that, £25m - think Atalanta will hold out for more.
Brighton should go all in for Nunez as if they had a decent striker I think they’d be up around the top half for Euro spot. Seem to miss a lot of chances any time I’ve seen them.
From memory, their conversion rate was the poorest in comparison to their Xg in the league - yet they still persist with Maupay.
Yup that’s my point, I was really impressed by Nunez and surprised hasn’t move on yet. If Brighton got someone decent upfront I think you’d see them push up the league and be nice to see them doing well when Billy Reid is assistant.
Yeah there isn't a chance they accept that bid.
That’s honestly really sad. Each to their own but IMO a really depressing way to live your life. It’s fantastic to go OTT a few nights a year but enjoying food and evenings like Shankland’s mates is why I much prefer the nightlife in foreign countries where people don’t get blind drunk.
Been rumoured for a while. Another Lewis Ferguson? Our model only works if the players - and their families - show a bit of loyalty.
Moved quick on someone after that McGree fell through.
They're certainly going for it.
He's actually decent.
I've never seen him play but his stats for MK Dons this season are decent - 7 goals I think, from midfield. Regular starter for them - albeit it at League 1 level. Only 21 and only joined MK Dons this time last season on a free after being released by Fulham.
I like Twine his team mate at Dons too. A player we should be keep an eye on.
Funnily enough thats exactly the kind of player we should be signing. £1.5m. CM who scores, assists, passes well and gets in to dangerous attacking positions. 7 goals & 5 assists so far this season.
Don't think there will be anyone 'bothered' by the signing, but its an effective one and the type we need. Whilst we sit on our hands.
Were we in meltdown when we signed Aribo?
I guarantee you if we were in for a League One player there would be a meltdown in our transfer thread. The club is looking for a RW and I trust them to find one with genuine pedigree.
Aribo didn’t arrive to much of a fanfare tbh. We were happy with the signing but I don’t think anyone expected him to develop into the player he has become and the same can be said of Kamara too.
