I'm a wee bit surprised that we didn't make an offer for Ali McCann. Surely we could have brokered a deal that included Middleton or Barker or AN Other. the lad left for 1.2M and big things are expected from him.

Couldn't give Barker away in a lucky bag. I seen somewhere st johnstone offered McCann to Rangers and Celtic for 3 million but accepted 1.2 from Preston.

Quite simply scotty123 steven gerrard didn't rate ali mccann highly enough mate 🤔 I think young stephen kelly is highly regarded to eventually replace steven davis thus why we didn't go for mccann 🤔.

Maybe SG doesn't rate him also we need to give kids like Kelly games bringing in McCann only stops that from happening.

Agree sweep, they want x from rangers but accept y from England.
No Scottish club can afford barkers wages and I would suggest mant English clubs will pay what he is on here.

I would have taken him also we don’t know what SG thinks of the lad and we are well covered in that area.

I would agree with coops that by signing Ali McCann u are showing our own youngsters they don’t have a path to the 1st team. Stephen Kelly and charlie McCann would have no point in being at the club.

My gut says Kelly will not make it and will be let go to a team like Hearts. Not seen enough to indicate otherwise. Need better to take over from SD and play in the champions league. Just my opinion of course.

TJBB, having watched Kelly a number of times I'm still on the fence. I have previously said on here that, at 21, this is his make or break season. If he isn't getting very close to the first team by the time the first half of the season is done, then it's not going to happen for the lad. I like him, but I have the same gut feeling as you that he won't make it.

This is the season that I'm hoping to see our own McCann playing in the first team, alongside the likes of young Kelly and Patterson, and of course Robbie McRorie.

Ali McCann is an international player and don’t get the argument that it would reflect badly on Kelly. I could see that argument in Lundstrum signing but McCann is proven in our league and will only improve on the field and in future market value. Kelly and both the McCanns could have succeeded Davis Jack and Arfield in our engine dept.
