Season 2019/2020 Rebuilding

[manc_don]

Saw that early this morning, absolutely no way should a loan be part of a deal for mckenna going the other way. Millions plus player thanks.

[LA-Don]

Don’t see this as linked to McKenna, DM said last week he’d look to add if we progressed. More to do with the health of devlin and Taylor I believe.

[tlg1903]

Loan is a done deal and will be eligible by wildcard entry for rijeka according to Chris Harvey on twitter. Next 24 hours are going to be interesting re McKenna.

[LA-Don]

Don’t see McKenna going anywhere right now as I don’t see anyone giving us the money we want. 6-12 months ago perhaps but not currently, he’s just not stood out.

Given the ridiculous sum Leicester got for Maguire, fuck knows what value big CB's can go for.

 

During the World Cup, Maguire was a serious prospect for a big money transfer. Given the whole season he's had since, I would have estimated that his worth was about a third now compared to then and there's no way his value was a quarter of a billion.

Vyner is  a rb who can play cb, suggest he is cover for logan ?

Think on his various loans he's mainly turned out at centre back. Certainly played there all last year for Rotherham. We definitely needed cover for Logan and this guy can do it but as has been been said by LA-Don...…...certain this is more to do with the fitness (or lack of) of Taylor and especially Devlin. The Mckenna situation might also have a bearing on it, if indeed as some papers are suggesting, he isn't going to be travelling to Croatia.

 

EDIT...read article wrong....does indeed seem to be mainly a right back that can fill in at CH when required

 

 

[ayrshire_don74]

60 games at rb 20 at cb

[ayrshire_don74]

majority of games for rotherham rb

[RicoS321]

To be honest, we're probably more in need of right back cover when Devlin and Taylor are both fit anyway. The fact that he's played CB before means he can slot in there tomorrow night and perhaps the next couple of games. Whilst the European games are very important, we need to sign someone that's going to cover us for the whole season. Hopefully he'll be half decent. I'm not expecting much and the circumstances are a little bit beyond our control - I suspect he wouldn't have been our first choice and we'd have preferred to see who was still around post English window close. Anyway, we need someone, and he is someone.

[ayrshire_don74]

dont think its a bad choice we need cover for logan if he can do a job short term cb then fine, but i dont expect this as a direct mckenna  replacement, as i assume some of the transfer fee will be used to source a replacement

[manc_don]

Is May off today as well?

 

In principal, the Vyner transfer sounds like a good one. We've been waiting for competition to Logan for a while. And given our current CB issue, if he can play there too, happy days.  I hope someone has given McKenna a clip around the ear.

Young Ramsay is also competiton for Logan as can play right back as well as midfield.

McInnes obviously has very high hopes for him as only turned 16 at end of July and would have been registered for Europe but still just fifteen when squad had to be registered.

ramsay played last night doubt will feature tmw

He can't anyway as per my last post, he was too young to be registered in the squad

[ayrshire_don74]

ah would help if i read it lol i dont think Mckenna will feature tmw

[KennyFuckinPowers]

Bristol City have just signed a RB called Pedro Pereira on loan for the Season, so I'd expect Vyner to be completed relatively soon.

[BigAl]

Loan signing incoming

 

Zak Vyner from Bristol City

 

Done deal and added to squad

[Ten Caat]

I'm not convinced he's actually in Croatia. What I think has happened is that he's had the registration rushed through last night.....technically makes him available for tonight but in reality was done so to ensure he's available for the return leg next week.

 

I really doubt we would have charted him a private jet and whilst I think getting him there scheduled might just be possible (albeit likely with a bit of a car journey at the other end....maybe from Split, Zagreb, Ljubljana or Trieste)...he'd be of no real use to us (wouldn't even know his team-mates names) nor have trained with us to have even a semblance of what tactics we are employing.

 

Squad number 33 btw

 

EDIT......Evening Express saying he's still in Bristol

Further edit... EE talking pish! He's in Croatia.

[wee toon red]

The McKenna situation notwithstanding, it's definitely been a good "close season" for signings so far. Another centre back, regardless of McKenna staying or going, would be great but that's probably wishful thinking.

[DantheDon]

Well that's the window closed for English clubs. So it looks like Scott will be with us for at least another 6 months.

[ayrshire_don74]

unless celtic sign him

[DantheDon]

I don't think he would go to Celtic, I just get the feeling hes more ambitious then that.

[ayrshire_don74]

after tonight who knows
