He was excellent against burnley in only his 2nd or 3rd appearance for the dons and scored an overhead kick. Burnley finished 5th that year I think, he'll probably play another year at least under mcinnes but if he was to move now hes definitely good enough to play in a middling premiership team.  Hes been one of our most consistent performers and has a bit of everything.

Sorry just for clarity could you name the EPL clubs that he should be good enough to start for?

Burnley won 2 of their first 15 league matches that season and and eventually scraped a 15th place finish.

We should negotiate with Celtic for Ferguson just to see Barry and Derek look like someone's shat in their cornflakes.

Hahaha.

To be fair I think his dad would be fine with it. Seems to have his sensible hat on regarding his sons future.

Got a little update. 

Celtic are after both Mckenna and Ferguson for a total of 4 million. Aberdeen hope to sign Hayes and Leigh.

Awful deal if true. Not too fussed over McKenna as I think he's overrated but I'm not overly keen on hayes coming back.

I quite like Derek Ferguson on Sportsound tbh, doesn’t come across as the typical staunch/bigot type that you get from his generation. He actually seems to like Scottish football at all levels too. Suppose I should include Barry in the latter as given he is one of the biggest names in our game this millennium he isn't too proud to be managing at the level he is at and just wants to coach/manage.

ETA - I think he could be a decent potential  replacement for Brown, he’s still only 20 but has decent experience and seems years ahead of himself in terms of game management which is what Scott has latterly been all about and it has prolonged his career. Can see a lower end English premier league club blowing us out the water though with a bid however.

I met him through his SRTRC stuff and he was a lovely guy. We chatted for ages about his time at Falkirk.

🤣

£4million, that just the deposit presumably.

 

Sauce ?

£4 million isn’t bad for McKenna

The prospect of letting Ferguson go for that as a stand alone is a laugh though :lol: 

He should have £6 million price tag on his head at least

McKenna is still a fundamentally very good centre-back for this level. He wasn't nearly as bad last season as some people want to make out. He is probably the best defender in the league at playing against Morelos, too. 

If he is being identified as a potential replacement for Ajer at Celtic, though, I'm not so sure it would make sense - he's definitely not as good on the ball as Ajer and I'm not sure how comfortable he would be playing as high a line as Celtic usually do.

From everything I have ever read about him he's as about a big a Rangers man as you can get. I was also told by another players old man that he celebrated Bruce Andersons last minute equaliser against the **** in our opening game of the 18/19 season like he had been a Dons fan all his life. I think he just wants what is best for his son. Several times he has been asked to comment on the chances of Lewis moving to Rangers and he's always said he thinks he is at the best place to continue his progression. Barry on the other hand...

I also like him on Sportsound. He can be at an end of Season game at Morton where there is nothing to play for and he sounds genuinely happy to be there watching a game of football and getting paid for it. Even if he is thick as mince.

Scottish football is very tribal. I used to moan about every single centre half that would get in to the team ahead of peak Russell Anderson.

I don't mind McKenna getting hassle if he has a shocker against a minnow or players of a similar level to ours but it does bother me when folk on here are in uproar that he's been bullied by a player of the size and quality of Lukaku.

4 million what? If it's pounds sterling they can f**k right off.

Would agree with this
