BWG Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 to be fair it was Notts Forest we signed MacKinnon from,Brian Clough was sober enough to get £300, 000 out of us.Must have been part of some master plan to get McInnes to go to the huns. Link to comment
fine-n-dandy Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 One of my mates (a big Celtic fan) saying he’s heard rumours that McKenna is off to them for £4m plus Hayes and Hendry. Just rumours. I wouldn't have believed it if it wasn't for the fact your mate is a BIG Celtic fan Link to comment

wee jock poo-pong mcplop1 Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 The attitude of Tim's, what are they like. Hendry's will never be Celtic player but he can do a job for any other team in the SPL. Anyway McKenna wants to play for Scotland and the Tim's are banning their players from Playing because everybody is against them. Link to comment
DelMonte Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 Sources online saying he will be a Celtic player by the end of the day. Worrying. Link to comment
TheRock Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 Hoping it's just Twitter nonsense. I know we can't hang on to him for much longer but for the 2nd best team in Scotland to lose their best player to the 1st best team AGAIN is a bit disheartening for a variety of reasons. Can't we get Aston Villa on the phone again or something? Link to comment
Tord31 Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 If any deal was remotely close it'd be leaked by one of the parties as part of the negotiating tactics. All in secret makes no sense. Also Celtic can't afford him unless they are making an exception to their normal business model (buy low sell high) Link to comment
DelMonte Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 I'm not that fussed about losing him, just want us to get a good deal. Celtic can't afford him so I'm guessing it would be a bundle of players plus money if true. Link to comment
King Street Loon Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 If he moves, he moves. But so long as we get the correct valuation met and under no circumstances should he be sold to either Celtic or Rangers.Those days should be gone as far as we are concerned.Can't do anything about freedom of contract, but sell to either of the arse cheeks? No.Continue to do that and what's the fucking point. I think the move to Celtic rumour is bollocks anyway. Link to comment
mcdougall(4) Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 Seems to be based off him being in Glasgow and allowing a cab driver to take his photo Link to comment
scottymc Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 Might be a bit controversial here but I think if we get a good deal ie 5 million plus for him then we should take it. He is a good young prospect however I think Devlin is also great and arguably was playing better before his injury. The money we could then use to strengthen the squad or potentially offer better contracts to Shinnie and GMS to convince them to stay. I like McKenna a lot but there comes a time when we need to cash in on our prize asset and I think now is not a bad time. 4 Link to comment

Celtic can't afford him so I'm guessing it would be a bundle of players plus money if true. Celtic most definitely can afford him, they have made a big profit for about 4 years in a row.

Tord31 Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 I'm still hoping for £10M 'deal'. Something like £6M plus Hayes and Morgan would be at least worth calling board meeting to discuss. I struggle to see Celtic parting with even that much though*. *Anyone that believes Celtic paid £9m for Edouard should wait till their next accounts are out. Link to comment

sooth_stander Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 Celtic most definitely can afford him, they have made a big profit for about 4 years in a row.They could afford our asking price, but won't pay it. Zero chance of them paying us, phit, the £8m it would take to shift him. They like their pet projects, of which SM would be one, but to maximise their profit, I can't see them offering much more than they did last summer. I would sincerely hope that if we even considered selling one of our top players to a direct competitor, if would be for more money than it would be should he move to England. 3 Link to comment
Zander1903 Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 No where in Scotland!! don't wanna start booing the big lump Link to comment
Tord31 Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 I've seen the photo that has started this speculation. Most likely when the players arrived in to Glasgow Airport a few of them will have decided to do something different with their days off rather than get the bus back to Pittodrie. If he was signing for anyone he'd have at least his agent with him if not an entourage of folk. Link to comment

I would sincerely hope that if we even considered selling one of our top players to a direct competitor, if would be for more money than it would be should he move to England. Exactly. Look at Virgil Van Dyk... For Celtic to pay £10 million doesn't do them any favours for when they would want to sell him on and then get their 2nd slice of the pie in a sell on clause again (if he was to move)... It doesn't fit their business M.O. We need to sell to a Bournemouth/Newcastle/Huddersfield type club who'll inevitably sell him to a bigger club... A bit like we're hoping will happen to Ryan Fraser... 1 Link to comment

DelMonte Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 Celtic most definitely can afford him, they have made a big profit for about 4 years in a row.Well technically they could afford him but their budget wouldn't allow paying our valuation I wouldn't think. Link to comment
Tord31 Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 Right And we won't get 9m for mckenna So he doesn't fly in the face of their business plan Ergo, you were havering, again No way will they have spent £9M on him. Just the media biggings things up to seem like a huge club (I doubt you'll find one single quote from Celtic relating to the value). It'll turn out to be less than that you can guarantee. They simply wouldn't have taken the risk/reward that he can match Dembele. If the figure is slightly less it becomes a bit more believable. 1 Link to comment
minijc Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 Are people forgetting that we apparently turned down an offer in excess of £6m for him last year? WHy the fuck would we deal with Celtic if they are coming to 5m, it would be an absolute disaster from the club to cave in and accept this. 3 Link to comment
craegDAMH Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 He's not going to Celtic. If he does I'll delete my account (@EB4B) Also, he's much better than Devlin, people need to stop with that shite. 1 Link to comment
BWG Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 I think anybody saying that Celtic can't afford him is kidding themselves. They are very healthy financially and could easily pay the 7-10M that we're looking for. McKenna doesn't really fit their general modus operandi of sourcing players around the 3-4M range and selling them at a huge profit, but they've shown they are willing to go above that for the right player. That being said, I can't see them breaking the bank for an SPFL player. They'd have done it for John McGinn if they were prepared to. Link to comment

If he does I'll delete my account (@EB4B) Also, he's much better than Devlin, people need to stop with that shite.Anyway, regardless of how good Devlin is, Mciness (and well nearly all managers) generally opt to play with at least two central defenders. Its like saying we don't need a left back because Shay Logan is pretty good. Link to comment
HairyPie Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 McInnes repeats time and again that McKenna will go straight to the Nigel league. Don't think he'd be sold to the minks. Link to comment
