We've made a relatively low offer for a player they don't want to sell, we're not realistically going to get him by offering the same amount again, however the deal is structured.
Well as the two bids happened within the space of 48 hours (they were both on the weekend weren't they?) I'm not surprised our first tact was to restructure (presumably went from 70k up front to closer to 300k) and will now be to offer more money.
He's a kid who's only played 18 games in the SPL, they aren't going to get that much for him, especially not as much as their delusional fans think. £1m including add ons tops
It's not too crazy to go back in and restructure the offer if that was the problems. It's a waste of time if the amount is too low.
No he hasn't. He's played 15 this year for them and 3 in 2015/16. Of course they won't want to sell him yet because they won't get much for him
Oh aye, I though his previous loans were in the SPL, but they weren't. Then we'll have to offer more if we want him, won't we?
Of course, but first offering more up front is a reasonable tactic as it would have allowed them to replace him immediately this window.
Of course. It's also the lad himself though. I remember talking to Dundee United fans about Robbo when we bought him and he was on an absolute pittance, I think about £2k pw. It wouldn't surprise me if McKenna was on similar, he'd triple his wages at least coming to us. Plus a few decent performances and he'll have PL interest and then it all goes crazy for him. It's a massive opportunity
For a club who is second in their table and have Champions League football in their sights I'm guessing it would take more than 300k to get an adequate replacement.
This is why you won't sign McKenna, you have no idea of the respective qualities up here. He's already being talked about as one half of the Scotland CB solution, you'll need north of £2m to get Aberdeen listening to offers.
Ok , I'll play along for Psychic entertainment, How Do You purport that FACT , especially from your exotic location. Let me point out , Your Not even in the same hemisphere as Enob. Reality Check Johnny Boy.
