I'm told today we still hold an interest in Milne at Aberdeen
Also McKenna has 3 years left on Belgrade deal, they want six million euros plus add ons, I'd be surprised if this move were to happen
We have had a further otffer for Sterling from derby.
13 Jul 2026 17:25:21
McKenna on a free (eg last year) would be one thing. But can't see us dropping &/£ms for him. Interesting to hear about Sterling. He's a quality player, but can't rely on his fitness. Shame to see him go in a way, but everyone has a price. What's a fair rate £2.5m+ given his fitness issues (otherwise worth a lot more!)?
13 Jul 2026 17:26:08
Milne seems to be highly rated. I doubt Aberdeen will want to let him go, however, unless they get a very large bid. We need one in, plus another if Souttar goes.
Sterling, I think, is going into his last year (may be wrong), and I understand is on some big wages, so may be right to move on, meaning we would need another rb also.
13 Jul 2026 17:29:07
Not fussed about McKenna. Would gladly take anything for Sterling. Would keep him if he could play more than 2 games, but sadly he can't.
13 Jul 2026 17:32:06
Cheers John, I don't mind McKenna, but a bit steep for me, think we can get as good cheaper or spend that money and get better.
13 Jul 2026 17:43:20
I'm told we r seeking in excess 1, 5 for Sterling.
13 Jul 2026 17:57:48
Aberdeen have been doing a lot of buisness lately, they may look to sell so they can keep investing.
Would not be interested in McKenna, I actually hope Celtic go for him as I've seen links and they drop up to 6m on him.
13 Jul 2026 18:06:36
Cheers for info, John. ??
13 Jul 2026 18:23:25
John, Sterling must go. We cannot carry injured players. As for McKenna, I know you're sharing a rumour, but imo - no thanks. Better deals and players out there. ?
13 Jul 2026 18:46:40
I think Sterling is worth more than that in all honesty. He's been fit for a wee while now. I hope he turns a corner. Does he want away?
13 Jul 2026 19:01:02
Sterling needs to move as we cannot continue with players who play sporadic periods between injuries as a norm - so imo take the money and run. ? ?
13 Jul 2026 19:19:01
Milne would be a great signing. Can't see Aberdeen being too reasonable with the price tag though!
13 Jul 2026 19:43:48
Milne would replace Souttar.
Good signing.
£3m for Milne (£1m for Souttar). Great business.
13 Jul 2026 19:57:49
£3m for Milne? That's obscene Sws. He's not worth even half.
I assume you mean Zagreb, John. There's been talk between parties - player would fancy a move here if a deal could be done. As sensible as they come for the right price for me.
13 Jul 2026 19:59:51
I'd go for Milne now.
Aberdeen won't be able to keep him for much longer.
13 Jul 2026 20:04:41
£1.5 is a great price for Sterling. Last year of his contract and unfortunately always injured.
13 Jul 2026 20:15:35
If we want to remain crap in defence, McKenna is a great signing.
13 Jul 2026 20:57:39
John Milne was obe if the guys I pointed out in January that metrics all on rise and we should be looking at him.
Glad to see someone at club thinks the same if true.
13 Jul 2026 21:14:30
Also, we will need more domeatic trained players if Barron Souttar is going to be leaving.
13 Jul 2026 21:21:13
Worth pointing out Sterling's contract ends in 2028.
13 Jul 2026 22:17:27
I'd take 750k for Sterling easily.
13 Jul 2026 22:41:22
I get everyone's thinking on Sterling, but playing devil's advocate, if he played 4 games this season, all against the beggars and got us the result, would he be worth keeping.
McCrorie was quick as a boy. Not sure his defending and speed of recovery are the same as Sterling.
Those games will be the difference this year.
13 Jul 2026 22:55:55
I think Aberdeen are looking for a package closer to £5m.
13 Jul 2026 23:19:34
Sterling is not worth keeping for anything. Sell for whatever we can get.
14 Jul 2026 01:27:22
Sterling must stay. Better than anything else we have got at that end of the park.
14 Jul 2026 09:04:21
Great info, John, I posted on an earlier thread about McKenna.
Very much DM pushing that. Can't see us signing him with that valuation.
Great info re Milne! We've watched him quite a lot.
I suspect Sterling will be away.
14 Jul 2026 10:43:08
Sterling is 4 times the player McCrorie is. The worst purchase so far by a long long way. I mean for years!!
Sterling worth 3/4m, however, if last year of contract, then we've cocked that up too.
Should have been tied down for an extension based on all the support he has been given thru injuries. In order to capitalise on future sale.
Really poor management. Again.
14 Jul 2026 11:05:05
Forever we have been scouting Milne since January 25. I've posted that on here several times.
14 Jul 2026 12:52:44
Decent player, John? I haven't taken notice of him.
