Chris Frae Killie Posted February 2, 2015 Report Posted February 2, 2015 St Mirren have accepted an offer from Aberdeen for Kenny McLean and the midfielder is to have a medical with the Pittodrie club. Should he agree personal terms, he will sign a three-and-half year contract. The 23-year-old, capped at Scotland Under-21 level, is a product of the Paisley club's youth system and signed a two-year contract extension in July. That followed speculation he was likely to move to England, with a bid from Fleetwood Town rejected in January. McLean has made 29 appearances this season, scoring seven goals. More recently he has been utilised as an emergency striker by manager Gary Teale in the absence through injury of captain Steven Thompson. Quote
Chris Frae Killie Posted February 2, 2015 Report Posted February 2, 2015 I wonder how much we have agreed on if Fleetwood offered £150,000 and were told it was "way short of the club's valuation" "St Mirren have rejected an offer for former Scotland Under-21 midfielder Kenny McLean from Fleetwood Town. The Scottish Premiership club said on their website that "the offer does not come close to the club's valuation of the player". They also revealed that on-loan winger Adam Drury has returned to parent club Manchester City. League One outfit Fleetwood are believed to have offered £150,000 for 22-year-old McLean." Quote
Tyrant Posted February 2, 2015 Report Posted February 2, 2015 I'm hoping that Jack will sign on and that MacLean is a replacement for Robson who's clearly done. Fingers crossed we keep Jack anyway. Quote
manc_don Posted February 2, 2015 Author Report Posted February 2, 2015 According to Sky Sports, a fee of 300k. Quote
Edinburghdon Posted February 2, 2015 Report Posted February 2, 2015 I'm hoping that Jack will sign on and that MacLean is a replacement for Robson who's clearly done. Fingers crossed we keep Jack anyway. If that is the case (and although I cant see it, I really hope it is) then this has to go down as our best ever transfer window. Quote
Madbadteacher Posted February 2, 2015 Report Posted February 2, 2015 When is Jack's deal expired? Quote
Tyrant Posted February 2, 2015 Report Posted February 2, 2015 When is Jack's deal expired? 18 months from now I think. £300k? That's our biggest transfer since, dare I say it, Robbie Winters? Steve Lovell was £250k was he not? Quote
ally s Posted February 2, 2015 Report Posted February 2, 2015 Barry Nicholson cost about £400k did he not? Quote

manc_don Posted February 2, 2015 Author Report Posted February 2, 2015 Agreed personal terms according to their website: http://www.saintmirren.net/pages/?p=40518 Quote
BigAl Posted February 2, 2015 Report Posted February 2, 2015 On offishal site now that the deal is concluded. Which makes me the first on here to say Welcome aboard the good ship AFC Kenny. Quote
BigAl Posted February 2, 2015 Report Posted February 2, 2015 Barry Nicholson cost about £400k did he not? £250k Ally. Quote
manc_don Posted February 2, 2015 Author Report Posted February 2, 2015 Got a decent scoring record. If we can keep Jack, the two of them would be a good partnership for the remainder of the season. Could make all the difference. Can't say I know much about McLean, but welcome aboard. Let's see what you've got! Quote

Could make all the difference. Can't say I know much about McLean, but welcome aboard. Let's see what you've got! He's a player alright Manc, I've been casting admiring glances at him for a wee while now and I'm really pleased by this move by the club. The two players I would have liked to have signed (realistically speaking anyway) this window were Maclean and Shinnie and we've only gone and bloody done it. Only 4 hours left and not a mention of jack leaving either Quote
Sandaldinho Posted February 2, 2015 Report Posted February 2, 2015 As much as its a good signing is it right that I'm a little worried about the fact we've just spent a load of money? We've been in a huge amount of debt for years and have been given a fresh start with the debt being cleared and now all of a sudden. We have 300 grand to spend? Maybe just too used to everything being frees and loan deals Quote
tlg1903 Posted February 2, 2015 Report Posted February 2, 2015 Michael Kelly is off to Leicester, no mention of a fee but I cant imagine we let him go for nothing Quote
Jute Posted February 2, 2015 Report Posted February 2, 2015 Great signing but have to wonder how it is being funded. Got to assume someone is leaving. Quote
CHOW87 Posted February 2, 2015 Report Posted February 2, 2015 Really impressed with the ambition shown by the club. If Jack leaves, McLean's the perfect replacement. If Jack stays, we'll have the best midfield seen at Pittodrie in a long time. Hopefully McLean will be as successful a signing as Peter Weir, and more successful than Ricky Gillies. Quote

Since severin and heikkenen IMO. That was arguably one of my favourites (whilst I've been a fan). Glad to hear that tlg! Look forward to seeing what he can bring to the squad. Quote
tlg1903 Posted February 3, 2015 Report Posted February 3, 2015 Window closed, Jack is still a dandy :-) Quote
CtS Posted February 3, 2015 Report Posted February 3, 2015 3 teams below us all losing key players, coupled with an ambitious signing for us, gives us great incentive to push on and secure 2nd. I'd love to see us within 6 points of the Tims at the split - let's see what they're made of. Quote
manc_don Posted February 4, 2015 Author Report Posted February 4, 2015 http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/31134389 Quick interview with McLean on the BBC. Better interview on RedTV. Clearly been schooled by DM already Quote
manc_don Posted February 12, 2015 Author Report Posted February 12, 2015 Looks like we're giving trial to Arbroath's Mark Whatley, brought to Gayfield by Sheerin when he was manager there. Anyone know much about him? Quote
Jute Posted February 12, 2015 Report Posted February 12, 2015 Looks like we're giving trial to Arbroath's Mark Whatley, brought to Gayfield by Sheerin when he was manager there. Anyone know much about him? Saw him play for Spartans a few times and he looked too good for that level. Their best player by far. He was also Arbroaths best player in pre season game against us in June. Quote
