Scott McKenna

[temperance]

He’s supposedly signing for the scum in January along with cosgrove and turnbull.

Now that’s what I call downsizing, they will probably sell Eduardo and replace him with Cosgrove.

 

[pandager1]

Had a couple of very strong performances against us last season. Safe to say his form has dipped this season, he was poor yesterday.

 

[Laudrup11Cooper]

Vastly overrated

We have at least 3 centre half’s that are better than him, maybe even all 4.

Easily make that four.

 

[Robocop1960]

You think it's bad now, wait until he signs for the scum

Hope he does hes pish

 

[Laudrups Barnet 55]

Their keepers quite good,still wouldn't rate him higher than McGregor or Wes

That’s a fair point actually I stand corrected. But for me he’s “quite good” and that’s it. In the top 6 of keepers in Scotland but even that isn’t a glowing endorsement.

 

[Seaside Blue]

Never been impressed by McKenna. He’s average.

 

[cannavaro]

He is big and strong, looks okay in a defence that sits deep whereas on a high line he gets
done by decent movement

 

[Coplandbear]

A dreadful carthorse of a defender made to look good because of our national obsession of long ball tactics and physical style of play.

 

[mark hateley]

When Scotty Bhoy looks back on his washed up career at 31, his highlights will have been finishing second in the SPL and getting the household name of Morelos sent off twice as he looks on with anger and envy whilst watching La Liga in his local boozer in Fife with alfie banging in the winner for Barcelona. He will think I one touched that man with my elbow.

 

[TheProdfather]

he's just a big lump that can kick things, for some reason that means people overlook his ability (or lack of)

see gary kenneth

 

[RFC4ME]

I think he is pretty decent to be honest, would be pretty pleased if we for example managed to produce a player like him - would most likely have meant not having to buy a Katic for example.

In numerous games last season we had very little answer to him.

 

[jigster]

He loves a battle like morelos but has nightmares about defoe and edouard who always look for space rather than a battle

 

[Stevethebluenose90]

Surely not? Can’t see any of those deals happening tbh.

“English Sammy”

 

[Earl of Leven]

I suspect the 'friendly media' have been told that Shame FC are likely to bid and therefore he's to be portrayed as a Scottish Baresi.

 

[Morty]

The poets signing cosgrove would be hilarious.

 

[Necro]

The poets signing cosgrove would be hilarious.

They won't pay what Aberdeen would demand from them, not for a player like that.

I'm still in disbelief that they allegedly had a £5m bid for McKenna rejected.

 

[Jamie1873]

We can't or don't produce class centre backs in Scotland anymore, hence the reason we as a club don't have any in our first team squad, perhaps in the future SG. will find some kids like Gordon McQueen/Willie Miller/or Big Eck?

Let's be honest, with the move to ban heading in youth football, we are hardly going to be developing an all round centre half any time soon.

Couldn't believe when the email came through from the youth league telling our 2010's team to immediately stop practicing headers and discourage it in games.

This will help in developing better defenders though, heading is easily learned, technique isn't.

Keeping the ball grounded at young ages will lead to better footballers

 

[BlueStu72]

Couldn't believe this plodder has merited a 3 page thread, good to see it's of talk of how bad he is.

 

[snoopyboymason]

maybe 4?

Im assuming youre suggesting Edmundson or Katic maybe a lesser player?
Lay aff the glue

I wouldn’t swap any of our centre backs for McKenna he’s a terrible player a hammer thrower

 

[ScotiaPapac]

Would be shocked if they went for Cosgrove. Delighted because he’s absolutely garbage, but still shocked.

I can’t see him getting a game for them, but they could buy and loan back to stop him from playing against them.

I’m sure that would make a huge difference to the Sheep’s prospects in games v Them...
