Very strange this hasn’t been officially confirmed yet? McKenna has had plenty issues with hamstring injuries in his time.....

I have been thinking exactly the same min. The more time passes by, the more I can see the move not happening.

Unless another team has put in a bid at the eleventh hour and there’s now a bidding war happening?

Yip, there's definite logic to that, going by what happened previously in relation to bids received for Scott McKenna. Hopefully it'll be cut and dried one way or another by the end of the week.

Would be grand if he went to forest and they got relegated at the end of the season despite Mckenna's heroic performances.  Then he gets sold again for 12 million. 

Or they got promoted and we got extra 2-3m in bonuses before being sold for over 20m and us receiving 5m+ in a sell on clause.

Was reading that he has signed a 5 year deal so plenty time to rack up appearances to activate add ons.

True, I'd be surprised if forest get promoted any time soon though.

AFC do well to keep things under wraps. I see the local Nottingham press saying Forest have bid 3 - 4 transfer windows in a row.

On sports sound Craig Levein was claiming that Steve Bruce told him, first hand, he'd had a 6M bid turned down on the last day of the transfer window the other year, when he was at Aston Villa...

That was common knowledge was it not. It was a loan for 6 months as they couldn’t buy anyone then pay up in winter transfer window. If they put the bid in the week before aberdeen would of snapped their hand of but bid went in 6 or 12 hours before window shut so they said no thanks as they would of been left short in defence for 6 months

I heard about the loan, with an option to buy, offer....  however, Craig Levein was intimating this was a straight up offer.  Said we rejected it as it arrived a couple of hours before the deadline and we didn't have a chance to source a replacement.

More likely it came hours before a big european match. All suitors were told days before this that if they wanted him get your bids in before we left for a big european game. No way McInness wouldn't have had even a short term loan deal lined up and ready to go.

I think the loan thing about McKenna has been never cleared up but as I understood it it was a loan with an obligation to buy later as per our deal for McCrorie. The price was £6M the following season.

Loan for 6 months. Buy in the January. 

As others have said, it came in too late for us to organise a replacement
