Anderson is older and only has a year remaining on his contract. I do think that 4.2M for Brown is overpriced though.

I know he's older. But if we use Davie Weir as an example Russ could still have a fair few years left at the top. He's never really been troubled by injury which bodes well for the future.

Brown only had 2 years left on his contract.

In any case I think it's beyond a joke that Brown went for £4.2 million and Anderson is worth £1 million. It's a similar situation with Stevie Naismith. These joke bids from Rangers are nothing short of insulting.

Yeah, that's annoying. It's usually a question of how much the selling club will accept more than a question of the value of the player. Bidding clubs will often test the water with low bids (Rangers making nonsense bids for Naismith as an example). If they get refused and they really want the player then they will up their offer.

Aberdeen seem to have accepted £1M for Anderson rather than see him go for free at the end of this season.

He's not gone yet though...

Only two weeks until our first pre-season ding dong.

It's official, Anderson's gone for a million:
SAFC.COM: / News / News Archive / Dons skipper signs for Cats /
Aberdeen | News | Club News | Club News

He's donated his signing on fee to the Aberdeen youth system, nice gesture.

Booooooooooo
but good luck to him.

Going to have explain big business to my 10yr old son now. He'll be gutted, at least he is likely to have a new EPL team to support.

I wonder if Jimmy will get a small percentage of the sale to buy with?

Shame. Ah well, money talks, and although it would have been good for him to stick with the Dons he would always have regretted not taking the chance to see if he could cut it in one of the best leagues in the world. I guess he impressed Keane during his stint in Scotland then.

First decent amount of cash the Dons have got for a player since Hignet in 98.

They seem to be making a big deal of using the money to pay wage increases to the rest of the players out of contract, so I guess not. Still we've taken in 3 players already this summer (including 2 defenders) so we're not doing too badly.
