Sadly the same could happen to us with Morgan The same can't happen with Morgan as any club agreeing a PCA with Morgan would need to pay us compensation due to his age. The value of that is worked out against a table set by FIFA, so clubs will have to pay us irrespective (think the figure is circa £300k). I don't think clubs will want to leave it to chance on Morgan as he won't be short of suitors and would probably like him signed up quickly, which is why I think that we might get an offer in January for amount similar to compensation due, but with clauses that suit us around sell-ons/appearances etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if we were to get a dozen offers for him in January, he might not fancy any of the clubs that want him and like McLean could just run his contract down.

Danny Posted October 25, 2017 Report Share Posted October 25, 2017 (edited) I don't get this indignation that Kenny McLean is doing Saints out of a sell on fee. What is he supposed to do? Accept less money to stay at Aberdeen when he can get more somewhere else.? Refuse to move to a bigger club or even league and further his career? The lad did well for us stayed on when he didn't have to and we agreed to sell him. We got some dosh for him. End of. He owes saints nothing more. I wish him all the very best and will always remember a good player who gave his all for Saints when he was here.

Isle Of Bute Saint Posted October 25, 2017 Report Share Posted October 25, 2017 In the Daily Express quoting McInnes they have received offers in the past for McLean and dismissed them. If an offer came in January then we would look at it better the club getting something rather than nothing. Has no replacement in mind.

Did people not learn from the the McGinn saga? Even with development fees and him being with us since he was 6 we can still get shafted!

TPAFKA Jersey 2 Posted October 25, 2017 Report Share Posted October 25, 2017 Is it just me who thinks he’s turned out to be not much cop? From what I can gather, not many Aberdeen fans will be shedding tears about his departure. To me a sell on clause is a protection for the sell g club against the player turning out to be brilliant and the club who bought him coining it in. If the player turns out to be not all that, then no one can complain about a sell on clause going up the pictures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McInness has been quoted saying: "He's been hugely influential and his commitment to us has been clear. His running stats and high-intensity work, he has been hands down better than any other player." The above to me sounds like a huge loss to their team. The only thing i would say about Kenny since moving to Aberdeen is that the goals have dried up and it was probably a major part of his game that he was signed for, though not having a settled consistent position in the team has probably been a major factor for that.

djchapsticks Posted October 26, 2017 Report Share Posted October 26, 2017 McLean moving on now is likely best for his career. If he shores up at Ibrox though, it will be the ruining of him. A shambles doesn't quite cover what they are. Same applies to young Lewis Morgan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soctty Posted October 26, 2017 Report Share Posted October 26, 2017 Good luck to Kenny, whatever he decides to do. He owes us absolutely nothing. I would hope he steers clear of Ibrox - a club still in a real mess. If he must fulfil a dream, do it once he's earned his money and made his name elsewhere, down south, the way others have done such as Dorrans and that c#nt R@€ - catch them on the way back down, if they're still here...

Spam_Valley Posted October 26, 2017 Report Share Posted October 26, 2017 Kenny probably has regressed as a player in his years at Aberdeen from the one we knew and loved but this is down to McInnes playing him in a deeper role and having him do the dirty stuff in the midfield. Unfortunately, we all know that is not Kenny’s strengths as we witnessed during the horrible Tommy Craig era. He just cannot be a combative midfielder. His ideal position is in behind the striker that allows him to be on the front foot in the final third, making runs into the box, contributing to the attack and getting beyond the striker. Very rarely have Aberdeen played him there & with the arrival and form of Christie from Celtic, the likelihood of getting played in ‘the hole’ would be slim. Anyway, all the best to Kenny & i hope he gets a decent move on from Aberdeen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
