d31 Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 Ball as cover for centre mid and centre back is a good squad player. Please don't let him play full back though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he's on peanuts and he's NEVER allowed to play left back again, then MAYBE he's allowed to come back. Right Back not left. Ok in holding midfield position post split but that's it I'm afraid 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No idea why so many folk seem astonished or puzzled by this. I just think I’d rather have him as an actual back up instead of on loan at another club Bringing in Woodman says to me McInnes doesn’t rate him 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheep62 Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 So the press (sic) reporting this morning that we have set a £10m price on McKenna. Personally don't think he is worth anything close to that but and here is the BIG but, he is under contract until the summer of 2023. Big season coming up for him after the highs of last season. Here's hoping he can continue to develop and mature in a red shirt. Personally don't trust Wiggy to cave in once the £ signs are flashed in front of him though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrewDon Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 I'd be happy with Ball signing again. Hopefully gets more game-time in his correct position this time around. Decent player. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even the H**s I know said that during his time with them he was ok as a holding midfielder but crap as a right back Edited July 17, 2018 by Sheep62 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingjoey Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 Having been at all five post split fixtures after the disaster that was Motherwell, and after saying that I never wanted to see Ball playing for us again after that horrendous game, I was really impressed by how he came back to be superb in all five matches, I’d be more than happy to welcome him back. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is, of course, no use if you are an Aberdeen fan. We need much bed wetting and rage about the fact that a guy who can do a job, in a key position, might be coming back.We did not too badly post split, didn't we? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he is worth that going with the silly transfer figures down south. We do put our game down but when you have a player that has signed a long contract and now a regular International player who was captain for one of the games then his value should be much higher - imagine the price of him if he played in England! At the DNA meeting that someone asked Shinnie who was the best player he has played with - everyone expected either Maddison or Christie but Shinnie said it was Kenny McLean which the management team agreed with him. Funny enough Shinnie also mentioned Ryan Jack was a fantastic player in a different type of role but that didn't get a good response! The Manager went on to speak about how good our midfield was 2 seasons ago and its a shame our budget couldn't have kept them at the club. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hate the amount of bed wetting going on with lack of signings and don't want to be negative but... The Motherwell game Ball played right back but the next 5 games he played central midfield protecting the back 4 and did a fine job. I kind of look at this rumour and think it maybe true about Gleeson being out for a long time although if it isn't then I don't get why we our signing a 4th Central midfielder in this transfer window when I think other positions are more critical. Hopefully we will have a few signings in before the Burnley game but if not then there is still about 45 days left until the transfer windows closes which is where I judge then if the transfer window was successful.

He has only played about 3 games. He is absolutely not worth ten millions. Maximum £3-3.5m 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RussellAnderson Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 You're only as good as your last game, which means Dom Ball's probably an ok signing and Scott McKenna is Scotland captain and worth 10 mil. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dons_1988 Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 Ok I can accept that. Doesnt mean he is worth ten million! McInnes is clearly at it. 1) it won’t be mcinnes deciding on what is a worthwhile fee2) normal negotiations start with the seller going well above the actual selling price, if we were to ask for 1m we’d probably get 200k.3) Scottish football should be delighted that clubs are now demanding significant fees for players and not just losing them for barely 6 figures. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
