Back page of this mornings press and journal in Aberdeen has an article with Cooper saying he wanted to bring him in last season.
Seemingly the guy is injured now and that is what is holding pools up taking any further interest

Let's get his injury out of the way then we'll talk.

AberdeenPools · **Posted:** Tue Jun 19, 2012 11:43 am

Yup, sit next with a few Aberdeen Season Ticket holders who said he would be good if he could stay injury free and was given a run in the team. Pacy attacking player.

I hope he's more successful than the last ex Stockport/ SPL striker we signed if he does come.

Hayes is signing for someone today but according to his Tweet he is not in Scotland.

I read it that he'd left his phone in Scotland while he went back to Ireland, could be wrong though

I presume because ElvisC says "I did" i.e in the past tense it means he has gone elsewhere.

Aberdeen say Inverness winger Jonny Hayes has agreed deal
Aberdeen say winger Jonny Hayes has agreed a move from SPL rivals Inverness CT.

The Dons said the 24-year-old, whose contract with the Highland outfit expires in the summer, had agreed a two-year deal.

Aberdeen chief executive Duncan Fraser said: "Jonny was a key target and we're delighted.

"I'm pleased to say he has chosen Aberdeen ahead of a number of potential clubs."

Former Republic of Ireland Under-21 international Hayes joined Caley Thistle in July 2009 after leaving Leicester City.

Fraser told Aberdeen's official website that the club had met Hayes's agent Des Byrne before the last game of the season.

"Both Jonny and his agent felt that this was the right move for him," Fraser added.

Hayes, the club added, would sign for the Dons on his return from holiday.

So whats happened with Jonny Hayes then I cant find bugger all online.

I've just been on some Aberdeen message board.
They haven't a clue who he is signing for, and are pretty pissed of with him.
Apparently his twatter account is down, so there's no input from that.

It's a mystery, has anyone checked the Staincliffe or Throston bookies

Compo · **Posted:** Fri Jun 22, 2012 11:45 am

I tried his twitter account and it doesnt work, he probably has cancelled it.

AberdeenPools · **Posted:** Fri Jun 22, 2012 6:37 pm

Tonight's Aberdeen Evening Express confirmed that Hayes has agreed a deal with Aberdeen that will be signed when his contract with Inverness Caley Thistle expires at the end of June. Also quotes the Ross County chairman who says he did try to hijack the deal on Wednesday but that he was unsuccessful and that Hayes is signing for Aberdeen.

This seems to be heading to a conclusion...

Jonny Hayes switches to Aberdeen from Inverness
Irish winger Jonny Hayes has signed a two-year contract with Aberdeen after leaving Inverness Caledonian Thistle.

He becomes Dons manager Craig Brown's first signing of the close season.

Hayes, who joined Inverness in 2009, rejected the offer of a new one-year contract extension with the Dons' Scottish Premier League rivals.

And he said: "I think the most difficult thing I've had to do was phone the manager and actually tell him that I was leaving."

“The manager seems to think I can help the team going forward with a bit of creativity”

Jonny Hayes

Aberdeen winger

Hayes praised Caley Thistle boss Terry Butcher, assistant Maurice Malpas and the club's fans but revealed that it was Dons manager Brown's powers of persuasion that took him to Pittodrie.

"I think the most difficult thing I've had to do was phone the manager and actually tell him that I was leaving," Hayes said after completing a medical and signing for his new club.

"It was a wrench to leave, but as soon as I met the manager here, very similar to Terry Butcher, I just got on with him straight away and he made my mind up for me.

"It was just his love of the game and his enthusiasm to do well for Aberdeen."

Hayes had previously denied reports that he had already signed for the Dons but stressed that it was simply because the news had been premature.

Hayes was full of praise for managers Brown and Butcher

"I'm relieved," he said while not wishing to reveal the name of other clubs interested in his services.

"It's taken some while to get things sorted out. It's been the longest summer I've ever had.

"But, as soon as I met the manager last week, we decided we'd sign."

Hayes began his career at Reading but left for Leicester City without making a first-team appearance for the Foxes after loan spells with Forest Green Rovers and Milton Keynes Dons.

He played only seven times for Leicester and was farmed out to Northampton Town and Cheltenham Town before heading for Caledonian Stadium.

Hayes, who played three times for Republic of Ireland Under-21s, made 98 appearances, scoring 25 times, for Aberdeen's Scottish Premier League rivals.

Brown sees the winger as adding much-needed width and flair to a side that scored just 36 goals in 38 league games - the lowest in the division.

"The manager seems to think I can help the team going forward with a bit of creativity and hopefully I can bring that to Aberdeen," said Hayes.

"Obviously I have spoken to players in the game and they told me the massive potential the club has."

Hayes thinks winning the Scottish Cup or League Cup and a top-six finish should be realistic targets for his new club next season
