Nips_and_Tatties Posted January 17, 2018 Report Posted January 17, 2018 Kenny McLean to Norwich City for £500k What a disgrace!! Half a mill. Taking tha piss Quote
Jute Posted January 17, 2018 Report Posted January 17, 2018 What a disgrace!! Half a mill. Taking tha piss 6 months left on his contract and can leave for free in the summer. It's a decent offer if true. Quote
Tyrant Posted January 17, 2018 Report Posted January 17, 2018 6 months left on his contract and can leave for free in the summer. It's a decent offer if true. Nae as good as we got for Lee Miller. Quote
Edinburghdon Posted January 17, 2018 Report Posted January 17, 2018 6 months left on his contract and can leave for free in the summer. It's a decent offer if true. As much as he’s upped his game lately I’d take that, hope at least some of any fee would go towards a good replacement. Quote

Reidzer 1314 Posted January 17, 2018 Report Posted January 17, 2018 I would take £500k for McLean now if the offer comes in. As long as the board back McInnes with a little bit of that money to source a replacement. Quote
Elgindon Posted January 17, 2018 Report Posted January 17, 2018 Bite yer hand off for £500k,but its only the Sun reporting it,pinch of salt for now.... Quote
1903_Redz Posted January 17, 2018 Report Posted January 17, 2018 Was down in Cambuslang yesterday where i was talking with my hun loving cousin. He knows Kenny McLean well and he told me Kenny is now talking to Norwich City. I'm can't say that it's gospel, i'm just repeating what i've been told by my family member who knows him. It would appear my cousin wasn’t speaking shite. Half a million is aright, at least he wouldn’t be going to sevco and there’s no way we’d have got that from them. Win win imo Quote
CtS Posted January 17, 2018 Report Posted January 17, 2018 I think he’ll leave a bigger void in our team than many expect, however for a player who’s made it clear he’s offski anyway - 500k seems a good offer. Sell. Quote
manc_don Posted January 17, 2018 Report Posted January 17, 2018 I think he’ll leave a bigger void in our team than many expect, however for a player who’s made it clear he’s offski anyway - 500k seems a good offer. Sell. Absolutely, but it’s too good a deal to pass up and certainly enough for us to get a suitable replacement. Superb if this comes off. I suppose it does open up for the Huns to try and get him on loan Quote
donsdaft Posted January 17, 2018 Report Posted January 17, 2018 Just fly him straight to Norwich. No need to come back to Aberdeen, we'll send his stuff down. Quote
Nips_and_Tatties Posted January 17, 2018 Report Posted January 17, 2018 How is this a good deal? Are we squabbling for English teans money? We are the 2nd best team in a decent league with arguably one of the better midfielders in the SPFL. You may not like McLean people but come on. The money that goes around the English leagues. We need to start telling tight feckers to fuck off. Sad days. Quote
RicoS321 Posted January 17, 2018 Report Posted January 17, 2018 I think he’ll leave a bigger void in our team than many expect, however for a player who’s made it clear he’s offski anyway - 500k seems a good offer. Sell. This. His work rate is very good, even when he's not playing that well. You have to look at the standard of recent replacements too and compare him with those. He's twice the player Tansey is for example. I think we'll struggle to get anyone in January who will fill the gap. Is £500K worth risking second place (£300K between second and third in prize funds - but it'd be more damaging than that in the long term)? In that area of the pitch, that's what we're talking about really. Maybe if the Nigerian is half decent it won't be an issue. I'd be cautious though. £500K isn't going to offer us much in January or even in the summer. If the Nigerian boy is good then I'd say yes, otherwise tell them to do one. As Nips says, they can pay more. If anything it shows Hull that we don't dick about with half a million here and there. Motherwell took the gamble with Moult in the summer and they lost out on (reportedly) maybe a hundred thousand at most, but that returned them a cup final. Second place is absolutely massive for us, it can't be underestimated, and I think we can afford to let the £500K go. Obviously the player may be desperate to move and he'll obviously have a say in that. Quote
ayrshire_don74 Posted January 17, 2018 Report Posted January 17, 2018 difference last year between 2nd and 3rd last year was what $300k, arguably hearts and hibs may have become stronger Quote
Guest kiriakovisthenewstrachan Posted January 17, 2018 Report Posted January 17, 2018 How is this a good deal? We need to start telling tight feckers to fuck off. Economics Nips. Aye, he's worth much more than half a mil but he cost us something like £300,000 and he could leave for nil in six months time. If £500,000 is offered you've got to take it. I would doubt whether McLean will be the difference between us finishing 2nd or 3rd. He's a decent player but not irreplaceable. Quote
BigAl Posted January 17, 2018 Report Posted January 17, 2018 Retard reporting that we have had a bid rejected by Hamilton for Mikey Devlin Quote
baggy89 Posted January 17, 2018 Report Posted January 17, 2018 McLean is a difficult one. As Rico says, potentially it could be the difference between 2nd and 3rd. He could also fuck his knee against Hamilton. You would assume McInnes has been planning for his departure since at least November so should have an idea or two of whom he was going to replace him with in the summer. The question then is, would £500k secure (one of) said player(s) now? Devlin is odd, hasn't he been out with curicate injury? Quote

Bird in the hand and all that is how I view the McLean scenario Devlin we were linked with previously but you're right he still hasn't actually played a competitive minute of football this season as he comes back from injury and as such has to be viewed currently as high risk if there is a fee involved which there patently is.

Tyrant Posted January 17, 2018 Report Posted January 17, 2018 You'd have to be a spastic to think we won't miss King Kenny. If he goes for £500k to England he'll go with my best wishes (which i'm sure will come as a relief to him) until he inevitably joins the huns. Quote
tlg1903 Posted January 17, 2018 Report Posted January 17, 2018 We could get docherty of Hamilton for 500k you would think Quote
Edinburghdon Posted January 17, 2018 Report Posted January 17, 2018 We could get docherty of Hamilton for 500k you would think If we could it would almost be a no brainier. Quote
BigAl Posted January 17, 2018 Report Posted January 17, 2018 We could get docherty of Hamilton for 500k you would think £500k for Docherty & Devlin and offer them Reynolds as part of the deal Alternatively take the £500k for McLean and make a cheeky offer to The Howkers for Christie Quote
BigAl Posted January 17, 2018 Report Posted January 17, 2018 "There's a rumour popping up you'll accept £250k from Norwich if they pay Naismiths full wages during a six month loan spell" Taken from Pie & Bovril. Don't believe it for a minute, but just putting it out there by sharing Quote
donsdaft Posted January 17, 2018 Report Posted January 17, 2018 Forget it about Christie. The only time we will see him as an Aberdeen player is when he's 34. The thought of never having to see McLean's Hun face in a red jersey ever again has fair cheered up my morning though. Quote
