As others have said, it came in too late for us to organise a replacement That's an example of McInnes having too much say in the Boardroom. An offer like that should have been accepted without hesitation. It's up to McInnes to sign a Jason Kerr, Cedric Kipre with 2 minutes notice or a free agent after the deadline Link to comment
Chester Don Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 I would not at all be surprised if we don’t have a Middlesbrough, Stoke, villa or a Burnley, looking now the Forest bid is out there for all to see. If Burnley let that Tacouwski lad (excuse the spelling) go then can see them sniffing. Would love a Liam Lindsay plus cash our way deal? Is he still at Stoke. Link to comment

Burnley are signing Joe Worrall......from Notts Forest. McKenna is his replacement 1 Link to comment

aberdeen1970 Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 It is taking a while. I hope they haven't found something at the medical and are trying to renegotiate the deal. Link to comment

Essentially try him for 6 months and make up your mind then. It was rightly rejected at the time if it was a loan and not upfront. Link to comment

This, plus it was relatively last minute meaning we were struggling for a replacement if memory serves. Certainly don't remember it being anywhere near the no brainer category despite the headline figure. Link to comment

The club were right to tell them to fuck off then, if there was no obligation. And the bid (despite Aberdeen publicly saying not to) was made the day of the transfer deadline and whilst we were in Croatia Link to comment

Can’t see any club at all doing this with what is (was) their biggest asset at the time & as such I strongly doubt any club would have the audacity to attempt it in reality. Why would a club risk losing a valuable player with no guarantees & risk another club injuring him. no chance it was a loan with ‘option’ it was simply a case that they weren’t allowed to pay up front & we couldn’t replace at such short notice Link to comment

Fair enough for a fringe player not in a club’s future plans in playing or asset value but for a clubs main asset? No chance a club would be that ridiculous with an offer, they would be publicly ridiculed by ‘selling’ club & club would happily justify their reason for refusing the deal Link to comment
fine-n-dandy Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 Hope another club has come in with an offer to match Forests at least but with an added loan of a decent replacement for us. win win Link to comment

My flatmate is a Burnley fan, he agrees they would be better bypassing Worrall and paying a fraction of the price for McKenna. Link to comment

sheepcrooky Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 Twitter (I know, I know) with Alan Nixon who is normally pretty reliable saying that Forest and Burnley can’t agree on the Worral deal. Maybe that is the hold up. Ridiculous if true. Link to comment
