PaulRFC1 115 Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 MIDDLESBROUGH have made a £3.5million bid for Celtic striker Scott McDonald. Boro manager Gordon Strachan has met what he believes is Celts' valuation of McDonald who is recovering from a hernia operation. The offer will be highly tempting following the arrival of £1.8m Morten Rasmussen. Now it's up to Celts boss Tony Mowbray and chief executive Peter Lawwell to decide if they want to cash in. Hoops skipper Stephen McManus is in limbo over his loan move to the Riverside. Big Mick is keen to move, but Boro are refusing to pay Celts' £500,000 loan fee. Interesting , seems as if Gordon Strachan is turning Middlesbrough into c*ltic. If this goes through then Boyd should be worth 7million if his contract wasn't expiring.

Creampuff 22,628 Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 I would be delighted to see McDonald leave.Although, a 500k loan fee for McManus? He's not even worth that! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

simon 1,744 Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 I would be more than happy to see him leave the only one of their strikers that looks a genuine threat. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chambo 197 Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 £3.5m??? Fucking hell. I'd like to see MacDonald go because he has a knack of scoring against us, but £3.5m??? No way he's worth that amount! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Creampuff 22,628 Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 I'd love him to go for £3.5 Million. Because they'd give the money to Mowbray Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Stars Bearette 1 Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 I am sure Celtic will grab the cash and runthay already have plenty of strikersdont think he's worth that thoughwierd how Chesney is transferring his old team South....not very imaginative Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue Stars Bearette 1 Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 'Morten Rasmussen will make his Celtic debut against Hibs tonight as Tony Mowbray makes the changes he hopes will turn the Hoops into a mean, green, scoring machine. But the Parkhead boss has shot down speculation that the arrival of the 24-year-old Dane will automatically mean a quick exit for leading scorer Scott McDonald.'

BlueSuedeSambas 54,074 Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 If this goes through then Boyd should be worth 7million if his contract wasn't expiring. No he shouldn't. Both of them have very similar records, and both would probably fetch between 3.5-4 million in the current market. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

radlord 24 Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 Good. It would be hard to replace his goals for £3.5m. Though I do want him to stay as he clearly hates Gargoyle-features and isn't playing well under him anyway. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark_ni 12 Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 thats a fair valuation for mcdonald imo. He has a similar scoring record to boyd, not quite as good but then he has scored goals against big sides in europe that boyd hasnt. I would say with decent time on their contracts they would both command similar fees. Would love it if mcdonald left, hes their best striker by a mile. Always regretted that we didnt sign him. Cant stand him now hes there as hes turned into a right dirty wee prick ( the celtic effect) but for the money he would have been a good signing for us.

Blue Stars Bearette 1 Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 Mc Donald demanding to leave!http://www.mirrorfootball.co.uk/news/Trans...icle304161.htmlMiddlesbrough target Scott McDonald has told Celtic he wants to leave - and make a £3million move to team up with Gordon Strachan.The Australian international striker was left with no option but to push for the move after his switch was blocked by chief executive Peter Lawwell.McDonald had been cleared to go a few weeks ago and a double-your-money contract offer is on the table, but the Parkhead side are feeling the strain as their title bid falters.Strachan still wants to sign his former hit man, but time is running out - and McDonald is now demanding that the transfer goes through.
