In the current financial climate and with clubs getting more sophisticated with their scouting, £20m probably isn't as wild as it first seems. http://statsbomb.com/2017/06/passing-percentages-are-mostly-useless-quantifying-passing-ability/ In today's climate of over-the-top prices, I'd say that he's worth £20million+ I hope he does get a move to the EPL, as I'm sure he's had enough of the Championship. He's more than proved himself in the Championship, so it's time for the step-up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlayerX Posted June 27, 2017 Author Share Posted June 27, 2017 Aberdeen reject £300k offer from Rangers for Kenny McLean. (They'll let him go for zero, like they did with Ryan Jack. Scottish football isn't intelligent) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordopolis Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 You're an Aberdeen fan? OK. Fine. Lose two parts of your engine room for £0.00 Doesn't make any sense to me, but OK. Sell your best remaining MF to your closest rivals for a modest fee like £300k and you'll knock the stuffing out of the team, the fans and pretty much drive McInnes toward the next half decent offer to leave.300k for McLean is hardly a no brainer.

Surely it's better than having him leave for nothing? And surely £300 would buy a replacement, if you look hard enough then you'll find a gem somewhere. Obviously McLean is worth £1million+, so that's even more reason to hold out for as much as you can. I'd rather take £300k than spend 12 months of wages and receive nothing, and have to find a replacement for zero, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Distant Doonhamer Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 Aberdeen should probably just gift Mclean to Rangers, They should know their place and realise that Scottish football needs a strong Rangers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SlayerX Posted June 27, 2017 Author Share Posted June 27, 2017 I think it's £300k, strangely enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been accused of being everyone under the sun, so sure, why not. I'm Joe Miller. Aberdeen should've offered Jack and McLean long-term contracts. to avoid this situation. Personally, I would encourage Rangers making a bid, as hopefully it'll prompt another team to make a counter offer, I'd then sell him to the other team. Let's say you get £300k from the McLean deal, add that to the £1.3 million from the Hayes deal, I think that might be enough to purchase replacements. Leicester paid £300k for Mahrez. There's bargains out there if you look closely enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for Mahrez, he was once on trial with St Mirren, and would've joined them if they didn't mess him about for two months. If he joined St Mirren, I doubt he would've been on £30k a week.

If they did sell Jack 12 months ago they would've still have finished 2nd, probably. If they don't bring in someone to replace Hayes then what was the point of selling him? Chris Cadden is available for about £500k. Sam Nicholson is always out of contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody would buy Jack 12 months ago, as they could get him for nothing six months later. You seem to be suggesting every player gets a three year deal every 12 months, which isnt viable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or they've made a conscious decision that they'd rather keep the player for a year and take the risk (because it isn't a certainty) of losing him for free in the summer, rather than take the money and strengthen a rival?

SlayerX Posted June 28, 2017 Author Share Posted June 28, 2017 Fair enough, all opinions are as valid as the next. Personally, I would've tried to ship Jack off last year (To anyone but Rangers), and the same with McLean now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They knew they had a replacement (an upgrade I would say) on Jack that cost them nothing this summer. He was worth far more to Aberdeen being in their squad for the whole season than the couple of hundred thousand they would have got last summer.

SlayerX Posted June 28, 2017 Author Share Posted June 28, 2017 If I was a manager I would literally tremble with anger if I lost a good player for nothing. I don't know, the difference between 2nd and 3rd is £300k, but let's be honest, Rangers were pretty much hopeless last season, so Aberdeen would've finished 2nd with or without Jack. Yes, he's a good player, but he's hardly great, if he were then he wouldn't be heading towards Rangers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
