maryhilldon Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 Archibald was sold for 900K in 1979 He won the league with us in 1980. 2 Link to comment

maryhilldon Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 I'm a bit dubious about the story in the Record, think that's story has just been plucked out of thin air. Of course it has, they dont even have a quote. Not like them to just make up a story that doesnt involve the arsecheeks, must be a slow news day. Link to comment
The Hulk Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 We had no say in Fraser leaving?True, but he was poorly managed to the point he was offered very poor terms for a contract renewal for someone of his undoubted promise, and so with him in particular there’s an obvious parallel with McKenna who’s signed a big one. Better management might’ve seen the kind of scenario we’re seeing here with McKenna, rather than making it easy for him to leave. Link to comment
Guest the shepherd Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 Players look like ants on the telly.It's worse at the back of the top deck of the RDS. Players are like subbuteo men watching from there. Link to comment
caledonia Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 Turn it the other way if McKenna was playing for Swansea and was Captain of his country and a great prospect at only 21 do you think they would let him go for 2 million. Link to comment

aberdeen1970 Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 Just shows how fickle football can be. 12 months ago he was almost out on loan again. Wasn't getting a sniff last season until the first Motherwell thumping either. Link to comment
maryhilldon Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 Aye, the 10m morelos story we moan they're helping the old firm They do it for one of our players and they're still in the wrong Pathetic Made up bullshit is made up bullshit, doesnt matter what their angle is. Link to comment
caledonia Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 No, but then he would have been tested against top playersBut you said a few posts back celtic players would go for more because they have champions league experience, bigger crowds and better players etc etc and he has played against them and won So he has been tested against a champions league team that have taken two draws of the english premier league champions Link to comment
fine-n-dandy Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 Made up bullshit is made up bullshit, doesnt matter what their angle is.They should be doing it for all Scottish clubs/Scottish football though & not just the arse cheek players. Good that they are finally trying to help promote values of players outwith the arse cheeks. If any of the arse cheeks were rumored to be interested in McKenna though, does anyone believe they would have ran any kind of story with a value of £10m for him lol The agenda is still there but it's just nice to see they are maybe considering trying to actually promote the whole game in this country now rather than just two teams Link to comment

G31DON Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 You think McKenna is slow?That's not quite what I'm saying. I was meaning I think he might not be quick enough to earn a huge transfer fee ie. £60 million. Happy to be proved wrong. Definitely wasn't meaning mentally slow, if that's what you thought I was implying. At least your lad will be happy with the lack of signings! Link to comment

euan2020 Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 He won the league with us in 1980. hardly impacts the inflationary element of what i said - forgive me, i was only 9 at time , so guess i have bad memory............ directionally the observation is still correct - you should have picked up that it was 800K rather than 900K Link to comment

I'm not sure you're correct. We sold some players to England back in the pre war days for what was considered big money at the time. Using the inflation argument I'm not sure Archibald would be the record transfer fee received. I'm not sure it's even a thing anyway as you're the only person I've ever heard use it. No club in the world lists their record transfer fees based on inflation. Link to comment
