rfc_no1fan 13 Posted April 6, 2007 Share Posted April 6, 2007 Smith did want McDonald, It doesnt matter how you butter it up, Celtic offered the right amount of money and got him.Smith said "Players I targeted in January will be the same players I go after in the Summer" and that included Scott McDonald.We lost out cause Murray wouldnt release funds.......... Simple as that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KERRZO 5 Posted April 6, 2007 Share Posted April 6, 2007 I dont! McDonald is good but not great! He wont improve on what Cletic already have and if thats the case then there is also no point in us going for him! Am pretty confident if Rangers wanted to match Celtic's offer they would have!

rossDas 1,071 Posted April 6, 2007 Share Posted April 6, 2007 I think we'd have been better off targeting a better player than paying over the odds for MacDonald.At old firm games we should definatly sing " Scott MacDonald scored two goals - eeaye eeaye ohh!

Simple as that.If Smith wanted McDonnald in January then he went about it in a strange way. His offer to Motherwell was made with a day to go off the transfer window and Motherwell had already lost one striker. He was leaving them no chance to get a replacement and they had little choice but to turn him down. Either Smith was not really serious or he was stupid.

Muff 245 Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 Naismith would be a far better buy anyway. I agree, but would he not cost in the region of £1million. Can't see us paying that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simple as that.Did we though? People are often too quick to use that as an excuse when we "miss out" on a player. Perhaps Walter simply decided he wasn't going to be held to ransom or pay over the odds for him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nvager 498 Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 Truth is the RFC and MacDonald saga is a STRANGE one and we may never know the answer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emerson 2 Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 I would like to think that at the time, Walter was just testing the water to see if they would sell, in what would have been a good deal, for £400K. I think when it came to the crunch and they put their did in, Smith thought, no, Im not going to spend what would be a sizeable chunk of my budget on him, or, he has been told that funds will be available hence the supposed interest in the likes of that Alkmaar striker.
