www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/football/football-transfer-news/stokes-scott-mckenna-bid-rejected-13929923Aberdeen are bracing themselves for another raid on Scott McKenna after the Dons booted out an offer from Stoke City for the Scotland star. It’s understood the English Championship side lodged a bid of less than £5million for the centre-back two weeks ago which was immediately knocked back.
Aberdeen have heard nothing since from Stoke who later signed Danny Batth from Wolves for £3m. Although the Bet365 Stadium outfit are unlikely to come back in for the 22-year-old, Pittodrie chiefs expect other clubs to attempt to lure him south. Oh.
That's somewhat disappointing.
£3m is "less than £5million".
Nobody is telling me we only had £3m and were forced to then go and spend it on Batth instead.Id say that was spot on we work to tight budgets

Ken Thomson ..... 1956, 5th Round, we were playing at St. James' Park, Newcastle were leading 2:1, I was sick in in bed listening to the game on the radio, Thomson headed against the bar in the last minute. Never really forgave him!

Well I guess it’s safe to say that Jones doesn’t rate the defenders he currently has at his disposal, to say the very least. Spending close to £10 Million on two CB’s in one window also shows that the board, for all their knockers, are again backing their man. I’d happily let BMI go this window if this is done in time. He’s been rubbish. Shawcross won’t be going anywhere. I'd let every single one of our current defenders go if we could and we were able to get replacements (not counting Batth obviously). I don't trust any of them. Me too mate but Indi is likely to be the easiest to shift I’d have thought. How he played in a World Cup semi final, goodness knows. He’s dropped off a cliff since then.

If he's injured then why rush a deal through The transfer window shuts in 25 hours mate... Loans (with commitment to buy?) can be made for quite a while longer - unless Aberdeen want their money asap?

Never really forgave him! Similarly, saw him miss the penalty against Derby that sent us down to the old Division 2 in 1953 - so missing them is not a modern epidemic

I suggested this McKenna guy back in August, if only Gary had listened he may still have had a job. I signed him on my first ever FM season based on your August recommendation. I finished top with over 100 points and over 100 goals. Only cost me 3 mill but with over 10 now and about to start in the PL. great scouting.

Hi, Aberdeen fan here, I come in peace. I noticed some of the things being said here about Scott and my team and just want to put some things straight. In regards to to 5 million being big money to a team like us because we are desperate for money, not the case at all, we’re the only club in the Scottish premier league that is debt free, yes we’re looking to raise funds for our stadium/training facilities but are in no way desperate, our new vice chairman is bringing investors in left right and centre. The main points I want to make is regarding Scott, he’s absolutely not a Celtic fan and he absolutely doesn’t “want” away, Celtic made an offer in the summer, a very low one at that (they expect every team to bow to their every desire up here and throw the toys out the Oran when they don’t, Rogers threatened to quit when hibs refused to sell them mcginn) and they won’t raise it as that would mean we had money to bring us closer to them. But the short of it is, Scott isn’t for sale and Scott doesn’t want to leave just yet, I believe the summer may be the time for that.

NOT FOR SALE Scott McKenna transfer interest from Stoke and Middlesbrough set to be KO’d by Aberdeen Standard reply, wait until the player starts making waves Indeed. Didn’t Dyche say that Vokes was going nowhere just minutes after he’d been on the pitch clapping the fans a ‘goodbye’ and (allegedly) his agent had been at CW that day and now we’re in ‘advanced talks’? Clubs and managers will say one thing but what actually happens behind the scenes is another. (That’s not saying that McKenna is available and will come here).

But, on the last day of the January window, I think the club who have the player hold most of the cards - unless they are strapped for cash, which doesn't appear to be the case here. Pity - of course I hope I am proved wrong.

He’s also not for sale at this time, he’s a level headed lad and knows the risks of a move down south, he will have seen this first hand, the only player of note in recent years to see the grass is greener is Ryan Fraser of Bournemouth. Our gaffer isn’t one to lie for the sake of media speculation, he’s said several times that Scott isn’t for sale unless a silly offer comes in and that he has no interest in moving just yet,

I totally agree with that, but If we want him I reckon we could get him. Sorry if some posts or even mine sound arrogant, that's what being in the premier league for 10 seasons does to you. We've paid over the odds for loads of players, sadly doesn't mean they're any good. BTW what is your honest opinion of him? Could he cut it in the chapmionship, or even higher?

All these so called " itk" journo's. ....what does it actually mean??? Most seem not too know their arses from ... well I will leave you to complete the sentence .. Very few things are truly known in this world...it is known that a dog in need of a shit will have a shit, and there is nothing you can do to prevent this. Similarly,, if a taxi driver wants to cut you up outside Stoke station ...he will do so. He does not know any better. As to whether such and such will sign for so and so... I am idfk - I do not f**king know ....and I suggest that most of these so called journalist's are in exactly the same shitty boat as me ....now where did I put that paddle? ??

The guy is for sale 100%. We could offer him 25k a week without question, do you seriously think he wouldn’t be knocking on the managers door asking to go at that point?

He'll be lucky if he's on 3k at Aberdeen. They are trying to take it to the wire and get the highest bid.
Maybe a small increase will do it. They will win fuck all this season as usual, they can't turn down this type of money again, they'd be risking the future of the club.
As someone said, they couldn't match salford for wages
