    The only way I’d be happy with this is if he was brought in as cover for the other 2 top class CBs we buy this summer after getting rid of Boyata and Henry.

    Edit; add Compper to that outgoing list too, almost forgot about that waste of space!

    okay okay

    Hes an improvment on Hendry yes, but thats hardly an indicator for quality, considering that Hendry is * 50% ectoplasm.

    He's a half decent SPL player but you dont win titles with half decent, you win them with players that are obvious stand outs.

    mckenna plays for aberdeen and thus has a little more exposure to his game that other defenders. In terms of improvment he offers the same as Hendry... sweet * all.

    As a transfer or a Saturday night rendezvous?

    I'd rather the money be spent elsewhere tbh, but at least we're linked with a defender. Every cloud and all...

    I say we offer £1 million or £10 million plus Hendry. Id take either at those prices.

    Would take him, like others say, so long as we get someone else in. Brumma being the new link.

    Brumma, ajer, Jozo, McKenna.
    Ship out compper and Hendry.

    If we get Bruma I don't see him coming in as I am not sure Celtic will spend £7m on Bruma and then another £3m (I think is the minimum for Aberdeen to sell him). The only way both are coming in is if Jozo gets punted.

    Then the question is, is McKenna better than Jozo? Not for me, though probably can play more frequently.
    Also not for £3million.

    Interesting question. An interested Jozo would probably be a top class player, however his mentality seems weak and he needs to go somewhere he can get guaranteed 1st team football. McKenna I feel, while I am not completely sold on him, would put more effort in and would probably be better, in a Celtic shirt at least.
    I do think £3m is a bit much but right now I don't care how much we spend as long as the defence improves.

    Inclined to agree, though on his day jozo is better.
    The price tag is what's really making me say no.
    Make it £1million and loan Christie again and they have a deal.

    McKenna couldn’t lace Jozo’s boots on a bad day. On a good day even mentioning them in the same sentence is laughable.

    He is a carthorse. A massive leap backwards in every sense if we’re even interested in the useless big *.

    Wait.

    Scott McKenna isn't even the guy I thought he was.

    I've been thinking of the wrong guy. Christ above, I dunno if that's even worse. :56:

    yet we insist on playing J Hendry. I've seen little talent from him...seems oblivious half the game and low in confidence on big matches (such as Champions League). Remember did we not pay £1.4 million for the guy.

    Definitely McKenna could partner and grow with experienced CB
    Add the £1 million paid for Compper we've nearly reached that £3 million pricetag.
    Need class in defence but also need to get rid of these wastes of space. Paid for * all

    A big problem is getting other teams to take these players on the salary they are currently on. Hendry is likely on well above the average for a non Celtic or Rangers player. Compper will be on more with 2 years left.

    People saying they’d take McKenna as long as we sign a top centre half doesn’t make any sense.

    You don’t spend £3m on a complete dud just because you’ve signed someone better.

    We’ve enough CB’s who aren’t good enough as it is.

    Would be an absolutely disgraceful signing. Hopeless. An utter diddy. Couldn't run a bath..

    I feel physically sick at the thought of him in our side, nevermind for the money quoted..

    If he's signed I want Brendan sectioned in Carstairs..

    that's exactly it...there ain't been enough quality in defence but rather too many duds. something is wrong at the moment in recruitment and it's been exposed- (it's why there was so much hostility in my opinion over the last week). Hopefully before this window shuts we can get prime guys in who actually stop goals.
