The Mckenna Dilemma


Recommended Posts


Why would we take Stokes offer when Aston Villa apparently offered more in the summer and we turned that down.

Exactly. It would make McInnes look a massive twat lol.

 

His words when Villa came for him were that it was too late in window to source a replacement & (even more notably) that he believes McKenna will get a move straight into the EPL. Not to a championship side that has zero hopes of promotion to the EPL any time soon.

 

Not a chance we would accept that bid & stoke will know this (hence the bs bid to please their fans type thoughts) & are basically pretending they are competing with Villa

 

McKenna will still be with us until summer unless a ridiculous bid of a lot more than Stokes pretendy offer comes in so late in window. Even if he has a hamstring strain/tightness at time of offer & is out of action lol.

 

All same though, all offers of a few mil are good press & any refusals will show other potential buyers/clubs that there is no point in wasting our time unless they are prepared to be serious, as we are not a club to buckle to small change offers anymore, like we were in the past. Also means Celtic certainly cannot come in again (as they are sill looking for a CH) with a derogatory £3m or there about offer.

Take it and buy 5 really good 1 million pound players. Alternatively, our scouting network could identify 25 semi decent £200k players. Exciting times ahead.

Who would all instantly demand wages commensurate with being million pounds players (I'd guess around the £10k/week mark). We pay our top players now around £5k/week. So over a 3 year contract for each we'd need to find 5 X £750k over our present budget to accomodate them. And no doubt we'd have a few of our own players demanding pay rises at least equalling what the new players are getting (Joe, Shinnie if he stayed, Devlin, even Ferguson would all have a case).

 

Anyway what would/ will happen is Wiggy would hand over £1million tops for new recruits and hive the rest off for Kingsford phase 2
