Jake Hastie made complete sense, he was the form player in the SPL as a 19 year old kid who just started getting top flight games.
We paid £350k for an in form, young Scottish player so if he works out we have a great prospect for peanuts & if he doesn’t then it’s no loss.
That’s the good thing about this pre contract punts, the reward far outweighs the risk.
Even with a Hastie, get them in on a pre contract & loan them out to raise their value if it’s evident they won’t make it us.
We can turn a profit if they perform out on loan, sadly in Jake’s case that hasn’t happened but it’ll work in the future.
In regards to Wright, Hastie can’t make the Motherwell team & Wright is one of Aberdeen’s better players.
I rate him much higher than Hastie, technically better & fits our system a lot better.
