Ten Caat Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 Forest signed a defender from Arsenal today, be surprised if they are after another. He's a right back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeeBass Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 I see Rory McArdle has a double for Scunthorpe United tonight with half an hour to go plus I'm sure he got their goal last Saturday too!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stewart Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 I still have ptsd from Mcardle playing right back At least he was an improvement on Ifil at right back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeeBass Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 Just thought if McKenna was to leave before transfer window shut and Devlin plus Taylor injury prone could McArdle be a stop gap?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KennyFuckinPowers Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 Just thought if McKenna was to leave before transfer window shut and Devlin plus Taylor injury prone could McArdle be a stop gap?? No. But judging by the replies to my Efe Ambrose and Jack Hendry suggestions, I am not the best judge, SeeBass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDeeDon Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 Although he was no right back, McArdle wasn't a bad centre half, would he be a step up from anyone we currently have? I would say yes, but fine margins and all that. Best not sign any players from days gone by as never usually works out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manc_don Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 Saw McCardle play for Bradford a couple of times against Millwall. He was a good solid CB, but that was 4 years ago now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigAl Posted January 6, 2020 Author Share Posted January 6, 2020 Ok ok questionable source I know (Daily Mail) reporting that Sean Dyche @ Burnley is a long time admirer of McKenna and is lining up a January move for him. Whilst I think it it is highly unlikely that McKenna would see much game time initially, I'm sure the wages would ease the pain for him of not playing. Alternatively he might just go down there and take his game to another level which could only benefit the national team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sounds like the ideal sort of move for him IMO and I have no doubt that once he gets his head down he can become an important member of their squad. Money plz.

rocket_scientist Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 If Harry Maguire was worth that much, McKenna is worth a helluva a lot of money. I wouldn't have paid half of what Man U paid Leicester for Maguire but I'd bite Burnley's hand off for £7.5m for McKenna. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ten Caat Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 I said just after we played Burnley that McKenna would do well in that side. They currently have Ben Mee playing on the left side of their central defence. At just 6ft, he's a relative midget in central defensive terms down south and not particularly quick that would perhaps compensate for his lack of physicality. Now 30 as well. Would he supplant McKenna from the Scotland team? I really don't think so. I reckon McKenna would take his place down there within 6-8 weeks of joining up. As Tyrant says......let's see your money Burnley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As Tyrant says......let's see your money Burnley Agreed. The thing about McKenna is that he has the space to raise his game further. You can see it in some games for us when we go behind or he makes a mistake. He focuses and starts moving forward with the ball and seems to increase in confidence in games. If he has more of a challenge in games, he'll step up I reckon. Even in the hun game at home where he had an atrocious first half, he sorted himself out for the remainder of the game and started being more aggressive and more assertive. Assuming big money, I'd be happy with Taylor and Considine until summer. Campbell can cover for Leigh until he's fit, it'll do him some good. That sort of change won't be the difference between us finishing third or fourth. If we can get in some dough to put towards a pay off for Curtis Main, that'd be ideal.

RicoS321 Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 I'd be surprised if he doesn't get a move soon he's got the physique and aggression to play higher and can raise his game when required. Whilst Hanley has clearly done well at a better side, McKenna is miles ahead of where he was at that age and is obviously just a better player. Saw some of his stats earlier in the season, maybe Christmas time, and he was in the top two or three defenders in the league (going by the stats they used, which may be a bag of shite of course). Some lower EPL team should take a punt on him as he'd be great value, with a lot of space for improvement. One thing I think would be an issue is if he goes somewhere and isn't starting. I don't think he'd be suited to being a bit part player and it could have a negative effect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think he'd be suited to being a bit part player and it could have a negative effect. I don’t really care if he moves & isn’t starting. The main thing for the Dons is what we get as high a sell on fee as we can. It might take us closer to the fee we allegedly rejected from Aston Villa. Was it 20%? 25% sell on? 25% of the crazy prices they pay there could be about £2.5m-£3m for us Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotfree Posted April 24, 2021 Share Posted April 24, 2021 I watch Forest a few times on the tv and thought he looked out of position a lot. He's also been injured a few times this season. Hopefully that will not hold him back any. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
