Lee will sign for Aberdeen FC in England
McGhee happy to let midfielder go back to family

LEE Hendrie will complete his move to Aberdeen FC while they are on tour in England.
Manager Mark McGhee today urged the Red Army not to worry because Hendrie went back home yesterday without actually signing a contract.
“There is nothing untoward in Lee’s decision to go home before a deal had been fully agreed,” said Aberdeen FC manager McGhee, who began the trek by bus with his squad to their camp at Loughborough University, Leicestershire, this morning.
“Lee has young children and it was always the plan to allow him to spend time with them before meeting up with us again in England.
“His agent, Willie Miller and I are continuing to work on the finer details of his contract.
“The talks have been very positive and we expect Lee to do the needful while we are down at Loughborough.”
McGhee has invited three of the six trialists who were with them this week – Robbie Williams, Grant Basey and Yoann Folly – to join them at the training camp.
Folly was with the Aberdeen FC squad when they departed from Pittodrie today and Williams and Basey are set to join them down in England.
McGhee has decided not to pursue his interest in former West Ham midfielder Conor Okus.
It’s also unlikely ex-Port Vale winger Jeff Smith will be offered a deal.
Pakistani international Adnan Ahmed will also not be joining the team down south.
The 26-year-old has received offers from abroad.

Still a little pensive. All fears will be eased as soon as he signs!

or Lee Hendrie had a couple of things to think about... McGhee has said all along there are one or two things to get sorted out Adam but if you want to use this as an excuse to slander Willie Miller on you go.
