URGENT!! Jon McKain to Alnassr Club, Saud

Thank you for your reply. We shall just have to see, wont we? No doubt if Jon McKain does / has signed he will highly value the confidentiality of his new club and its employees.

indeed..

 

rubbish

True.  Orthodox Judaism wouldn't allow boozing and womanising I'm guessing.

I'm sure many of us have heard Johnny take the mike with the famous Klezmer band, the Jews Brothers. He rocks out on "Hava Nagila".

Locked. Unless we hear an official announcement, but I have my doubts.

EXCLUSIVE: Wellington Phoenix defender Jon McKain is set to join the Saudi league on a big money deal where he�ll hook up with coach and former Italian national team keeper Walter Zenga.

It's believed a two year, $1.5m deal with Al Nassr is about to be announced for McKain.

Re=opened.  442 news added.

You saw the tweet too huh...

Seamonster

Salary Cap

Dumb. But will that really re-ignite his Socceroo career?

Hopefully the club are in line for a nice lump as well if it's true.

If its true, and we get a hefty transfer fee like we should having just extended his contract, then i'm OK with this.

At his age, don't really think it's relevant to him, he isn't going t improve much or get a look in for the full strength NT... he's got 3-5 yrs of pulling top wedge, good on him for making the most of it...

And thanks Jon... sad you won't be doing it again for us - but all the best over there

Yeah, Gutted he won't be playing again. Loved him to bits. Top player. Hope he goes well. Never know. May see him back in two years.

You'll never get around McKai - ian

Enough that we can be the wellington phoenix again?

well dont that put a teeny tiny damper on an amazing night....

Hope he does well with Al Nassr if this is the case.

Just want a nice chunk of money, money, money for the nix' outta of it.

So who still question my resources  !

Thanks guys for a warm welcoming to this forum, i hope you spend the money in a good use.....

F&%k you Saudi. You better give us cheaper petrol now

Lets start with Boston cream donuts & work the way up

The worst thing about this is that it lends credence to those IMMINENT DEATH OF THE NIX PREDICTED rumours. Diego's Son, this forum's answer to the Human Centipede, is doing his best to spread those on 442 as we speak - apparently they're about to sack Ricki. Why does he hate us so much?

Ricki could go, it's a risk you take when he coaches on a larger stage.  Won't mean the end of the Phoenix but finding a replacement would be VERY interesting.

where?

If the breaking even thing was without the McKain move we may in fact be rolling in it.

I hate to say this but I hope McKain didn't have an out clause !!!!!

LOL we wish

Even if that is the case, we're talking a profit.  We have his salary to spend which was obviously one of the higher ones and I can't begrudge him 1.5m over two years if it is that much.

McKain deserves a good team to play, he's a great player at the back, and could easily have taken Moore's Socceroos spot at the World Cup.
Then at least the Socceroos wouldn't have given up four goals :)

I just hope it works out for him. A number of players have left the A-League for stints in other regions, and things have turned out bad - no game time or poorly run clubs.

Always have him back if things don't work out in the oil state.

$1m.  Back in six months.  Tidy profit.

Done.

Not great news but a tidy transfer fee makes me not too worried about it, to be honest. He played great for us and I wish him luck but Siggy, while he isn't as good, still does a job there.

Where was the transfer fee confirmed HN?valeo2010-06-16 11:50:50
