The Mckenna Dilemma

[V for Vendetta]

2m is nowhere near enough.

 

Add 10 to that.

[caledonia]

2 million is pish hold out for much more

[shut up meg]

2m is nowhere near enough.

 

Add 10 to that.

 

£2,000,010?

[Ke1t]

 

£2,000,010?

 

That extra 10 quid could be the tipping point, though.

[V for Vendetta]

 

£2,000,010?

Obviously

When we sell McKenna he should go for the same money he would if he were playing in the EPL.

 

Same player, same capability, same potential (regardless of current team or league).

 

21 year old Scotland captain.

 

Show us the money!!!

Should Ronaldo have went to man Utd for same price as he went to Real?

 

I'm only talking about McKenna.

 

We shouldn't accept less for the same 'article'.

 

Why should (say) a Huddersfield be able to sell a McKenna for millions more than we can when he'd be the exact same thing in either location?

 

2 million is an insult.

 

Bidding starts at 10 million.

[baconman]

2 million is a bit more like it but no ambition going to a club like Swansea tho. McKenna could probably aim higher and the club get a better price by next transfer window.

[Scotty_Toronto]

He led the national team out at the Azteca.

 

We wouldn't need the entire footballing world to agree on his valuation.

 

We'd just need one club to buy for 10 plus million.

I admire your enthusiasm however that's not going to happen Scotty.

[Scotty_Toronto]

I'd still hold out.

 

(Anything is possible with EPL silly money being thrown around.)

 

My head will explode if we sell him on the cheap.

 

 

How come (say) even Hibs can historically sell for much more than we can?

[euan2020]

What are you, high?

 

Should Ronaldo have went to man Utd for same price as he went to Real?

 

Ronaldo cost Man Utd GBP 12 Million 14 years ago (19 years of age)

 

+ Real bought a 24 year old seasoned pro (47 CAPS)

 

Your comparison is inaccurate

 

should have been how much Real would have paid for the same 19 year old - there were other teams in for the 19 year old Ronaldo but did not cough the money

[Ten Caat]

Scotland regular who has also captained his country. £2million is an insult. If it was doubled plus a hefty sell on fee (15-20%) included in the contract then I'd say that was a fair reflection of his current value.

Correct.

 

My comparison was between a 21 year old McKenna at Aberdeen and a 21 year old Scott McKenna at place like Huddersfield.

 

 

Not a player like Ronaldo at 2 different stages of his career 5 years apart.

Agreed

[Scotty_Toronto]

And what, you think mckenna would just sit and stagnate at Swansea?

He would improve in the same style Ronaldo did you bloody simpleton

 

It's pointless talking about a 24 year old Scott McKenna now, though.

 

He'll improve just as easily at Aberdeen.

 

We'll have our own permanent training facilities up in 12 months, and in the meantime he'll be playing against the likes of Burnley, Celtic, Sevco, Hibs, Hearts, plus playing international games.

[Scotty_Toronto]

I agree that McKenna would improve more against more difficult competition, but that's not what we're talking about.

 

We're talking about how much we would sell him for now.

 

His age (21), potential, and accomplishments (regular starter, captaining Scotland, and winning goal of the season, etc.) all come into that.

 

How much would you sell him for?

[shut up meg]

How will he improve as much at Aberdeen as he would playing against fucking top strikers you thick cunt

You can be a right arsehole at times MT, Scotty might be a bit off here with valuations however he's nae a thick cunt.

At times ??

[shut up meg]

At times ??

I was cutting him some slack, being nice to him for a change.

[shut up meg]

MT, have you read " How to win friends and influence people" ?

No, unless it's a pop up book of course.

[robbojunior]

Repeatedly misunderstands the point being made. Calls someone else a thick cunt.

 

Classic Millertime

[Arabian Knight]

Weird

 

I started reading it, well, on audible but not listened past about 10 mins yet

Yer a fuckin mess wee man, comin up fir 30,000 posts, state n helf bernie. 30,000 posts.

[fifered]

Only things I've ever read from mckenna mcinnes or anyone at Aberdeen is that they are looking at him having 100+ first team matches under his belt and being a Scotland regular before he moves. He's said himself he's aware he has plenty to learn.

 

I don't think he'll be jumping ship to a championship outfit with a first bid like this. I've no worry at all that he'll leave this summer. Next summer he will go and it'll be for more than 2 million presuming he's still first pick for Scotland. It'll be to a better team than Swansea as well.

[Arabian Knight]

Git yer heed sorted min, 30,000 posts nae even acceptable fir a cunt stuck oan a desert island wi jist WiFi n a washed.up auld iPhone fir company

[Arabian Knight]

Millerdon sez he wis the orginal n yer jist a copy, cunt hid yer moniker afore ye popped yer heed oot yer maws gash

[fine-n-dandy]

The more bids we refuse & bottle we show. The more realistic teams that want him will have to get with their bids.

 

Worst that can happen is we get stuck with him & lose out on £2m

 

No big deal.

 

So fk off with your shit offers basically.

He's worth more to us right now as our player (because we'd struggle to find a replacement) & the potential to improve further down the line & invite a bigger fee later than the £2m is right now.

[Yorston Vasey]

If McKenna can do a job on the Barnsley strikers whoever the fuck they are (Cuthbert Morrisdancer and Sebastian Fuckstick I think) then his EPL price tag will skyrocket. End of the month he'll be attracting £5m bids easy.

He done a decent job defending against some decent Internationals when playing for Scotland & didn't look at all out of place.

Some of which were on way to World Cup.

 

Not bad for such a young loon.

 

Fk your £2m right in the pussy Swansea.

Unless they are will to loan us back a striker, midfielder & defender on to of the fee lol

[aberdeen1970]

Still trying to work out, bearing in mind I was born before the internet, how that was possible for him

He signed up to AFC chat, all excited, naming himself after his favourite Don after watching him lift the ecwc in the flesh on a wet but wonderful night in Gothenburg.

 

Full of the joys of spring he was, quickly notching up 37 posts, reminiscing with his fellow fans.

 

Then along came a young upstart who stole his moniker and started challenging fellow posters to post their photos so he could try to psychoanalyse them.

 

Ashamed to be confused with the doppelganger , he slipped back into the shadows for 12 years.
