How we getting the full £6 mill? When they win back to back champions leagues? ? 1 Link to comment

Absolute no chance we dont get anything for the promotion alone. 1 Link to comment

Ten Caat Posted May 30, 2022 Share Posted May 30, 2022 2 hours ago, Donmacca said: Chances of Forest now selling McKenna? While he's more than played his part in their promotion, the fashionable thing for clubs promoted to the premiership to do is to go out and spend millions on foreign players. Would be poor of them to do it but not impossible. I'd be astonished if they do and it'd take an unbelievable offer for them to do so initially. Whilst they certainly have to improve the quality of player in their squad dramatically if they're going to stand a chance of staying up, their back 3 have been stand outs in their promotion surge and are likely the least in their line of priorities to upgrade in the summer. They'll certainly need a better goalkeeper, at least 2, maybe 3 midfielders, a wing back and 1 or 2 strikers before they think of improving the back 3. Having said that, if they're isolated at the bottom of the EPL in January, they might well decide at that point to cash in on a couple of their players and at that point selling McKenna would be a strong possibility Link to comment
fine-n-dandy Posted May 30, 2022 Share Posted May 30, 2022 Hopefully he stays at Forrest long enough to hit any EPL appearance numbers to trigger another add on before they sell him. ? he holds his own & performs as well in EPL as he did in championship. He has always been great in the air. Strong & fast but he could potentially give away a lot more fouls for his love of holding players with VAR ? Link to comment

Dons79 Posted May 30, 2022 Share Posted May 30, 2022 A player as young as him to have Morelos in his back pocket most meetings was incredible, the damage he could do to Porto et al, still struggled against McKenna. McKenna will be one of the best central defenders Scotland has produced in quite some time IMO great player 1 Link to comment

Just need to make sure we are making money off the players though. McKenna, Ramsay, Fraser, J*ck, Wr*ght, Fyvie, Grimmer, Rose. Cant be that many Scottish sides producing players at that level recently. Arabs Gauld, GMS, Armstrong, Robertson, Goodwillie, Souter, Russell Link to comment

He also kept on going on about McKenna being 'rag-dolled' by physical players as evidence that he'd never make it! A young CB, still developing and learning the game! Some of our fans have no patience and i think expect all youth players to spawn as complete players/a finished article. Link to comment

Yeah my bad! it was Sam Vokes and a few others he mentioned 'rag-dolling' McKenna! It's one of his favourite phrases - but the inference was that McKenna couldn't play against physical players!

However if your recollection that he got the better of Morelos in their matchups let alone had him in his back pocket that is just not true. Most times Morelos had the better of him and invariably scored. Particularly at Pittodrie, Link to comment
