The hysterically annoying and totally unfounded, but traditional, January 2025 rumours thread.

There has to be a possibility that we've seen Hermansen for the last time.

King wasn't Speedy though.

I'm Speedy

I don't get the sense Mads is this type of player, but the timing of the injury, the lack of clarity about it, and his status as an asset all give off conspiratorial vibes.

Agreed, although it seems like we don't need to sell for PSR now so I don't think getting a windfall for Mads, to allow us to spend more would actually help us this season.

Does seem a bit weird with not much being said about the injury and no idea when he may be back.

A bidding war for Cannon it seems. That's good for us, and hopefully good for Tom.

I’ll try to find out using my “contacts.” That’s such a **** thing to say.

Isn't that the LCFC MO?

Everyone here is Wright. Or so they would have you believe.

Not exactly.

The truth is, Wright is not here.

He is, was & always will be at Aberdeen.

Tin foil hats at the ready.

Nah.

This guy is very reliable.

I'm not actually suggesting that he might be sold this month. I think it's likely his injury could end his season and I'm pretty sure he won't be here next year.

I'd agree. That's the way I read it.

When the type of injury is kept so secret, isn't there often another reason for the absence? (And I don't think he's going to be sold this month either)

I think the fact he went off at halftime at Newcastle suggests it was a groin injury.

Everything makes sense in that they can be difficult to diagnose so could take a few days or could take a few months.

On a wider note, I've noticed that managers have stopped being open about injuries.

RvN actually said so in a recent press conference. Essentially, he's injured and beyond that it's none of our business.

I guess it's a take on personal privacy.
