The Mckenna Dilemma


Recommended Posts


Oh yeah, random anonymous links on public unsecured websites. Totally clicking that.

 

Would it hurt you to add a little context?

Will be interesting to see what we do here... they've obviously timed this late on in the day, hoping we'll buckle under the pressure.

 

If Aston Villas bid, during the last window, was indeed a loan with the obligation to buy (you hear different stories on this) for 7M, then you'd think we'll hold firm here?  If we buckle here, can only assume it was an option to buy...

The transfer window has been open for 30 days and they only now make a move.

 

Looks like the old "we tried" fans appeasement.

They can sign him in the summer if they want, he'll probably be away then, but get fucked submitting a bid the day before the window closes. Inbred cunts.

No

 

Purely because it's their first offer and you never take the first offer

 

I think it's probably about his value though, all things considered

I see what your saying but when do players in England go for anything like there value! 7.5m minimum and 20% sell on and we can talk! Anything less they can fuk off! Have a bad feeling something could be done here and leave us with absolute no time to get a replacement! Maybe pay St. Johnstone a few pennies and take joe now? Exciting if the club can secure this kind in money anyway! I guess the bigger question is how much Will actually go towards player recruitment?

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.
