Shuggie_Murray7 Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 Have Aberdeen oerhaps received a bid for one of their own stars and are trying to tie up McLean as a ready made replacement? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bunglebonce Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 Whoever negotiated his contract in the first place is an absolute moron then, particularly if it's only £300k. Not necessarily. McLean decided to stay at St Mirren when he could have gone to England. St Mirren wanted to keep him but the player had more bargaining power than the club - his agent wouldn't have accepted a release clause that was unreasonable. P&J reporting he's off for his medical, he wouldn't be doing that if he wasn't signing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AberDon Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 Is this actually happening or is it just a massive wind-up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigkillie Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 Or just trying to look busy in the transfer market knowing the bid will be rejected. Hate to break this to you, but the bid has already been accepted and he's already agreed terms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shuggie_Murray7 Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 We're just noising you lot up....he's at Asda Linwoood getting bog roll and Pot Noodles as we speak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dee Man Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 WTF is going on? I just went searching through for my "£300k and McLean will be gone" post from last week and it's gone. Sergies "£700k plus add-ons" post, then mine, followed by an Obama smug face would've been beautiful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SS RED Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 Would be disappointed to see him go to Aberdeen as a neutral. Hope he shows some ambition and goes south if he is going to leave, unlike Shinnie. That being said, would be some coup for Aberdeen. LOL - are you for real? Actually?

sergie's no1 fan Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 Typical Saints just when they build our hopes up. The low release clause was maybe down to the 2 year deal. Who knows. Any chance of getting Higdon with the money? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AberdeenBud Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 The low release clause was maybe down to the 2 year deal. Who knows. Exactly. I think that's what Ludo is failing to grasp. Pretty hard to have a go at the club if the choice was between him leaving last summer or signing a new contract with this clause. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you'd accepted he was off then you'd have netted your £250k and been in a position to replace him. Now as it is, you're getting around £50k more, he's by far your best CM and he's leaving you when you have literally no chance to replace him whilst stuck in a mire of a relegation battle. It's hardly the greatest of deals for the club, is it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's hardly the greatest of deals for the club, is it? It's not ideal, but it's an extra £50k, and we've had him for half a season where he has been invaluable. I would have rather had him for the last 6 months than not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's hardly the greatest of deals for the club, is it? No, it's not worked out great I agree. But there was always the chance we could've gotten a full season out of him and any replacement wasn't likely to have been to his standard anyway. I dread to think were we'd be just now if we hadn't had him this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mordecai Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 Any Aberdeen fans able to hazard a guess as to what his wages would be? I'd say he was one of, if not, our highest earners at the club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
