McGhee refuses to give up on Barr

19 January 2010 09:41
The Dons are keen to secure Barr, but there is little in the kitty for McGhee to splash out on transfers.[LNB]And he is believed to be willing to offer players in exchange to secure the Bairns skipper on a pre-contract for next season.[LNB]The Dons boss concedes Hibernian are in a stronger position to finalise a deal for the 24-year-old, while Dundee United are also said to be in the running.[LNB]"The next step is to speak to Falkirk to find out if it will be possible to do a deal with them about Barr," explained McGhee.[LNB]"We may have to be creative if we are to get anything done that would see Barr brought in this month. But if Falkirk insist on a fee then we will be out of the equation.[LNB]"Hibs are in a stronger position than us because they have taken in a fair amount in transfer fees over the last few years.[LNB]"We might be better equipped to compete if we sell some of our young talents for bumper fees in the years ahead. For now though, we must live within our means."[LNB][LNB] Aberdeen 4/6, Draw 13/5, Kilmarnock 9/2
