Summer Transfer Window 2020/21

Decent - can we nip in and get Docherty too.

£350k fee apparently.

We must be counting on selling some players before too long

We’ve got until next summer.
Three transfer windows including this one.
Plenty time.
It’s inevitable one or both of McKenna & Cosgrove will be gone by then assuming respectable offers come in.

Or he'll get covid.

Ah he's already had it. Wise move McInnes.

Plus we are not paying Hayes until next year. Racking up a lot of liabilities for next year. Clearly looking to move on one or two of our more sellable assets soon.

By next Summer Cosgrove will only have a year left on his contract so he will definitely be sold by then as we have been burned too many times recently with valuable players just running down their contracts and stringing us along about signing a new contract (Shinnie, the rat, etc). The only way he is not sold by then is if he reverts to the Cosgrove of his first four months and I don't see that happening. We will accept the first offer of £2M plus add ons as was seen with the French offer.

McKenna has a year more than Cosgrove on his contract so there is not the same panic to cash in on him. It will come down to whether he can recover his form of season 18/19 as to whether we get a big enough offer to sell him this season or not. He clearly wants to go by all accounts so I can see us selling him if we get a £3M plus add ons offer this season if he repeats his 19/20 form but if he is back playing better we will still likely hold out for £4M-£5M with panic selling only setting in by Summer 2022.

Our only other player of significant sellable value is Ferguson who is contracted to 2023/24 so absolutely no need to sell him unless we get an over the top offer this season (£5M+)

Some might argue that Lewis has a high sellable value, but I think if that was going to happen it would have been by now. I can't see anyone rushing to pay big money for someone who is almost 33 even allowing for keepers playing longer than outfield players.

The rest of the squad couldn't be sold for much more than the price of a second hand car unfortunately

I hope the McCrorie paperwork is all in order. Would be just like the hun to start being awkward once the loan period is up.

[donsdaft]

NEVER deal with the Hun

Aye, those c***s are never to be trusted

Sounds like we are getting the better deal here. Currying favour for signing one of our players?

Secondhand cars are often seen as liabilities and sometimes cannot even be given away. To that extent, I think you are absolutely correct, unfortunately. Most of ours don’t have current MOT’s either and are ‘fixer uppers’!
