No_Problemo Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 He's not that good. Still got huge flaws to his game that will be exposed more in a Rodgers team than a McInnes team. He struggles a lot when facing better opposition such as Burnley. If they are selling Boyata to bring in McKenna then that's a huge downgrade in the short to medium term. The fact that the (supposedly) went in with a £3.5m bid for McKenna but didn't manage to meet the asking price for a far superior player in McGinn is also curiously funny as well.A huge downgrade on Boyata? Boyata is an utter bomb scare at times. McKenna lid probably around the same level at the moment and will become a far better player. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d31 Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 If we can get McKenna fit for this upcoming international break there is every chance he could have 10 international caps by Christmas 21 year old CB 4.5 year contract 10 international caps Captained club and country I'm quite comfortable, as the club are, to hang on for January. Celtic will need to bid huge huge hard cash to get him now. I heard the bid so far is only £1m straight away. Lets speak about £5m straight away and then we'll get down to talking. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ntcham21 Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 McKenna must be a very good player for you guys to hold him in this high regard. I have been disappointed the couple times , I have watched him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

williemillersmoustache Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 Panic/wondering what we'll spend £30bn on, over lads. The big news at septic park is they've brought back the fans favourite at centre-back. I'm sure that's in no way humiliating for them and TGFITW aren't at all furious and all over twitter saying as much. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No chance will a Premier League team sign him next summer. I'd bet you that won't happen. Even McGinn didn't get a move to a Premier League side and he is obviously the more accomplished player. Absolute rubbish regarding lack of pace. Regarding comparisons to McGinn. This is completely irrelevant and if you can't see why then there isn't much hope for you to be honest. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve no idea why John McGinn and Scott McKenna are continuingly being compared by folk on here, particularly Rangers fans. Completely different players, different positions, different lengths of contract at their clubs, different ages. The are both Scottish and play football, but that’s about it. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I literally compared him once. Haven't seen anyone else make the comparison. Liam Lindsay would be a better comparison and is certainly the better player currently. That is only at the moment though as McKenna does have some good raw attributes but it is still very early days before he can be considered at Lindsay's level. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure and I’ll need to check, but I don’t think that Lindsay has captained Scotland. And I doubt that you’ve seen him play since he left Thistle. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's got a much better pedigree and experience. He's just a superior player and that's obvious from whenever I've seen either as McKenna is often torn about whenever he plays against Rangers. See 3-0 at Ibrox for the most obvious example. Motherwell tore him apart! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Motherwell tore him apart! Whereas Barnsley got relegated, but I'm sure Lindsay never was less than impeccable in all those games. Seems strange that Celtic, the Scotland Manager and the other sides linked with McKenna didn't just go for Lindsay if he's so obviously head and shoulders above him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
