With McLean it would appear we're entitled to 10% of any transfer fee, whereas McGinn was a percentage of any sell on profit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

giblet Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 was great under Stubbs, carried an injury last season and lost out to Bartley. Was dissappointed he left. We offered a deal, he said he wanted to think about it, took too long, Hibs withdrew the contract. Will always be a Hibee Legend though. Hope he does well.

I remember Mitchell but have a blank on Kennedy. Can't agree with whoever thought McLelland wasn't bad. You couldn't tell which was his strongest side because they were both weak. Slow as a wet weekend in Blackpool but Good in the air. Not my idea of quality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he isn't going to sign a new deal, I'd be actively looking to offload McLean to a side down south over the next few weeks. Christie is a vastly superior player in that position anyway.

To be fair, I'm reading between the lines in the latest statement from McInnes - "absolutely no more exits from Pittodrie this window". I don't think he'd be saying that if McLean wasn't going to extend - in other words, if Mclean did not extend now, we'd definitely be listening to decent offers......

Standard approach - nonsense offer made out loud and in media, unsettle player, increase pressure on host club, increase offer over time until deal happens.

Where do you suppose the media is getting it's information from? Rangers haven't been working with the media so far this summer. The Daily Record seems to always be among the first to report any Rangers related transfer activity, yet Rangers have not allowed them to attend any press conferences recently so it looks like the club isn't cooporating with them. Also all new player interviews etc. were conducted via Rangers TV and not through the MSM. The opposite viewpoint is that Rangers made a bid which they felt was on the low side of what they felt was reasonable (tbf they aren't exactly going to jump in with an offer way above what they are willing to pay). Aberdeen wanted more money so released to the media to try to embarass Rangers and force them to up the offer. It has also been noted that the player has had a bit of interest from down south. So it could be Aberdeen released this to the media to signal to other interested clubs that activity was happening and if they wanted the player then they should act now, creating competition and as a result netting Aberdeen more money. Or it could be to try to keep the Aberdeen fans onside? Maybe they have every intention of selling him now while they can get a fee from him rather than getting nothing next summer. They know that perhaps the fans might not be happy with this so the get Derek McInnes to come out and say that no other players will be leaving this summer. Then release these details to the press so they can then say, well an offer was made, it unsettled the player and we had no other choice as we don't want a player who isn't fully committed. This reminds me of the O'Halloran tranfer, St Johnstone weren't going to sell him unless we paid them a lot more. The whole thing was pretty public, then right at the end of the window they accpeted the original offer. Also looking at Rangers other transfers this summer, we didn't seem to undercut the other clubs we have dealt with. In fact 7 of the 8 transfers we had so far which involved fees were all resolved very quickly and quietly with no long drawn out public sagas. So stepping away from the "standard approach" seems to have been much more successful, maybe we should make that our new standard approach?
