The Mckenna Dilemma

[PHDDon]

i just can’t see an English club matching our valuation for him. Also the fact he is in Croatia , the deadline is 5pm today might make it logistically impossible for a move to happen to an English side.

Don't understand this train of thought, if someone actually wants him the logistics won't even be a factor. Chartered flight, medical done over there, his agent won be in Croatia so can negotiate on his behalf

This.

Would it be possible that the agent could have a power of attorney and sign on his behalf?

[Tord31]

Hold tight until January now.

 

The money sloshing around in England is so much that we could even get lucky and be looking at a higher fee then

Now that it's clear he wants to move wont we just get the release clause figure for him, unless there's a couple of teams bidding of course.

[Tord31]

I dont believe there is a release clause

Email, print, sign then scan and return. Its Croatia the lads gone not the moon

[herouali]

Did Duncan Fraser fly out to Croatia?

[Tord31]

Did Duncan Fraser fly out to Croatia?

Fraser and Gunn did not fly out despite being checked-in. So something was obviously needed attended too which presumably was a fresh bid for mckenna

[McPhee123]

With David Luiz going to Arsenal for 8 mil we should have just offered a straight swap...

They might not accept scans though, football associations are in the dark ages and might not be compatible with modern technologies.

Tell them to put the 7 million £ in to sterilising their own fans.

[Hewitt a the pies]

Hopefully not.

[Guest the shepherd]

....and their boys club coaches.

LOL

[tightbreeks]

He got a fair old forearm smash from the big hearts fellow. Mckenna is made of iron though, dusted himself down eyeballed the perp, and that was that. That hearts lad is a mass of humanity.

[S2RDS]

Hopefully a deal is done today and it just all gets put to bed. The talk of £10m is pie in the sky, but I reckon if a bid of £7-8m came in then he will be gone. Nae wanting this dragging out until Xmas time when all this shit will start again. If he wants to go and the money is right, then lets get it done.... except to the tims... they can fuck off.  

[DelMonte]

Is this cunt gone yet?

[aberdeen1970]

Did McKenna get on the return flight that Vyner got off?

[DelMonte]

Did McKenna get on the return flight that Vyner got off?

Hope so

[thedandydon]

Little over 3 hours to go and there’s not really been any serious moves from anyone it would seem. Not to say there wont be but you’d have thought at least one club would have put there cards on the table by now. Getting Zak in does suggest we’re contingency planning though.

[BWG]

Even if the cunts nae moving on we can't continue with 2 fit centre backs.  Devlin doesn't count because that cunt will be injured again within 3 games.

The Secret Footballer wrote about that, didn't he? About how football clubs (and agents) are the only folk on the planet still using fax machines.

100% agree with this. Gives us until the end of August to get a replacement in.

Banks use them as well.

 

Still a legal document.

Interesting https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/49277074

 

Zak Vyner could feature in Aberdeen's Europa League qualifier against Rijeka after signing on a season-long loan from Bristol City.

The 22-year-old has joined up with the Dons squad in Croatia and is eligible after being registered with Uefa before Wednesday evening's deadline.

Vyner, who spent last season on loan at Rotherham United, arrives after Scott McKenna handed in a transfer request.

[Kiriakov33]

He won’t be going anywhere before 5 pm now... fully expect Timothy to offer 2-3 million and go into full shit stirring mode for next 3 weeks though...

My thoughts exactly.

 

However if Tims have tapped McKenna, and that is where he wants to go, a very interested scenario, especially if Dons stand firm on any fee.

 

We still need another CB, preferably permanent, before we release the boy, acceptable fee or not.

 

Ps, and it 100% stinks, reckon Tims have tapped him and that is where he'll end up. Fortunately, given the length of his contract, we do have a few cards to play.

[RUL]

Hopefully one of the cards is dumping him into that useless reserve side we have.

Agreed, although i think we have all the cards at our disposal for once, Celtic may well lose a CH to italy or elsewhere as those windows remain open, absolutely should be a minimum of £10M pluse a hefty sell on or no dice
