Suddenly on the last day we can see why they were not entertaining hibs' tiny bids for mccart

Aye.  Definitely. 

[aberdeen1970]

That's quite an astonishing fee that Jack Hendry has been sold for.

At the other end of the scale, you’d be raging if you were St Johnstone.

Lose their captain for £600k.

And lose Ali McCann (2years to go on his contract) for a fee that “could be worth up to a million) - in other words is initially less than a million. That’s shite.

McCann off to Preston isn’t it. Can’t believe one of the ugly two didn’t put a bid in. Wish we pushed the boat out for him

They obviously need the cash.

Where are we getting £850k or whatever from, bearing in mind Ferguson stayed? 

I agree that selling Ferguson & buying McCann with £2m change would’ve been great business.

We had money to bid for Boyle or the loan fee for longstaff.
If we used that, pushed the boat a bit more if it’s just under 1 million, we might of got him and made a lot more in the long run.

I dont believe weve paid a lot for longstaff. it would make absolutely no sense

Probably not but might of been a couple of hundred grand. McCann would of been a lot more obviously but he would of been ours and will go for double that I think if we wanted in a couple of years

St Johnstone just got central defender in on loan from Brighton.

Retard reporting it as £1.2m

Still a shitload less than the £3m they were supposedly wanting only a couple of weeks back

I thought it was always about £1 million all summer or certainly was at the start of the summer 

[Ten Caat]

In May the St J chairman was quoted on BBC as saying it would take a record fee for them to consider selling McCann. Their record fee received  is £1.75m, ironically for their current boss, when they sold him to Blackburn. Over the summer, on various outlets......pie and bovril, both the arse cheeks' official neewspapers and on St J's own fansite the fee was quoted to be £3m that they wanted.

Quite a number of arse cheek supporters were saying that their teams should have coughed it up.

The window closing has only confirmed my lack of faith in the judgment of Glass rgds what is required in defence for a club like Aberdeen to challenge at the top of table. Happy enough (though could have been much better in areas) with most of his other dealings. 
 

Completely out of touch/his depth in central defence though.

 

He deserves all the stick he will get between now & the desperation signings to fix what should have been done long ago in January.

so unless Gallagher drastically improves, Bates has somehow transformed into a top CH or Hancock is close to a new McKenna type breaking through I will continue to lambast his shockingly amateur treatment of our central defence.

Third place at best could well be beyond us come January with our pish defence 

[Sonoftherock]

St Johnstone selling the crown jewels for pennies!  Disappointing to see them cave in for that sort of money... doesn't set a good precedent.. 

[BonnieDon]

I'm really surprised Hibs haven't sold any of Doig, Nisbett, Boyle or "Porto". Ron Gordon back in May revealed they were bleeding cash and needed to sell some of their assets to recover from the last 18 months. I'm wondering if they were banking on receiving big fees for these players and it never came to fruition. They also increased their wages this window and spent 400k on Daniel McKay. We sold Cosgrove, Wright, and McKenna in order to cover our losses and provided Glass the ability to make changes to the side this window.

Impressively poor day for St Johnstone that.

Yet they still managed to agree a fee with St Mirren for Jamie McGrath.

Did McGrath sign for Hibs last night? 

Edit: just noticed they failed with a late bid. 

[ericblack4boss]

Apparently there was a paperwork issue with the SFA, so deal didn't go through, although with Rod Petrie president of the SFA I wouldn't bet that its totally dead

No, but a deal was apparently agreed.

Scott Allan & Drey Wright plus cash.

Wright is almost worthless & Allan is worth about £150k given his health issues. 
I’d guess £300k plus those players.

I suspect Aberdeen/Hibs have missed the boat now.

If it comes down to purely him going on a Bosman a good few English clubs will be interested

THought that there was a fee agreed with Doig not too long ago?

Gonna assume at least 2 of them will be gone within 12 month, just a case of if they can get the money they want

Jack Hendry to Club Brugge for 8.6 million WTAF??? ?

 

The club only bought him from Celtic for £1.5m about a month ago.

Something fishy going on there.

I think Oostende had a loan to buy option... so they activated it once they knew there was interest in Hendry.

See Tims signed a Greek cunt from VVV. 

He had some record last season he was the clear top goal scorer in the Eredivisie with 26 goals for a team that finished second bottom. He scored 29 goals in total last season in only 33 games. He's only 26 and a Greek international but his record before last season was nothing to write home about. Still considering how good his stats were last season I'm surprised Celtic only had to pay £2.5m considering Hibs want £5m for Nisbett.

Do you don’t think the centre half’s are good enough and glass doesn’t know what he’s doing. You never said before ?

The jack hendry fee has been reported as anything between £4 million and £8.6 million. That’s some difference 

[JakieBastard]

From what I can gather the club had an agreed fee as part of the loan deal with Celtic. He has gone over there and performed really well, so they've obviously taken up the option to buy knowing that is now well below his true market value.

Jammy bastards
