Sorry to rain on anyone’s parade but an ITK poster on Twitter has said we only get this additional £1m once McKenna had completed 15 and 30 Premiership games, so payable in 2 tranches. 

Should still be easily achievable but not till start of 2023 but the looks of it.

Who?

Sounds like pish to me given the fee was reported as £3 million rising to £6 million with potential add ons.  How we getting the full £6 mill?  When they win back to back champions leagues? ?

Its more likely that there is clauses in place for EPL appearances onto of the 1m promotion. Absolute no chance we dont get anything for the promotion alone.

Doubtful, you'd think a major milestone would be promotion and the cash that would bring in

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

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 ?

Mckenna is the perfect English premier league defender

He has really blossomed from what I've seen, shows great technique now to match his physical attributes

Looks like Clark Kent

[Dons79]

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

When we were selling him did you not say he was shit and we would make nothing off him

For a club the size of Aberdeen and being based in a country where we are shite at football, our youth academy has actually been nae bad the last 15 years or so. 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.

Gauld, GMS, Armstrong, Robertson, Goodwillie, Souter, Russell

Said he was over rated and never worth the money we were looking for.... and also that he was THICK, or looked THICK! ?

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.

I think the Samaras thing was levelled at Anderson. MT is going to love that you’ve got that wrong. ?

I wish I could find evidence about it but it’s like you never posted on this topic in the early years of it.

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!

He had all his old posts deleted. 

At least it's an admission that he's embarrassed by the complete shite he talked.

I think McKenna is a very good player. 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,

Did they both not just end up getting sent off together all the time

Can't expect much more from MT. He'll have been getting told how "pure shite" McKenna is by whatever hun is in his family. 
 

Probs sits at his work and hoovers up the Record as well. 
 

Not his fault, really. A victim of location.
