Findlay and Kerr are way better footballers than McKenna. As far as accepting £1m pound for Findlay of course we would reject that and in part because, unlike your club, we are not bleeding cash every day. I would suspect your chairman is praying some fool will offer £1m for McKenna to help plug the financial hole. McKenna is so shite the ex Killie manager played him ahead of Findlay for Scotland. Logical thinking there sweetheart. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will be interesting to see how he adapts when he no longer has the pace to knock the ball past the fullback and whip in a cross. He is getting on & has had a leg break since he was with us last. Most of my Tim mates* are a bit dissappointed they've let him go. Feel he could still do them a turn. So hopefully still got the engine. I think I'm warming to the idea of him playing left back. More than competent to play there in the league. *Celtic fans I know and tolerate. Edited June 22, 2020 by Illgresi 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radford Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 Interesting to see how Kennedy fits into the plans with Hayes back. Certainly over his time with Saints he was more effective on the left than the right, plus he has competition from McGinn, Hedges and McLennan on that side. As a ten, not really for me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair point, he always seemed to bust a gut to track back when Considine was playing at LB. As much as Considine is solid defensively, Hayes would offer more in an attacking sense. As the old adage goes, I'd rather know a T*m than a H*n... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Put simplistically there isn't a club in Scotland that isn't bleeding money every single day right now, but hey let them bury their heads in the sand if it makes them feel better. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, if McKenna gets sold, we'd need Considine at centre back anyway. Unfortunately I know loads of both! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's something a little unsettling about Taylor & Considine being our first choice CB pairing. I know that Taylor hasn't been terrible this season, but there's always the worry that he'll have one of his Lothar Matthaeus moments. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly. We may be one of the clubs bleeding the most (I have no idea) but somebody would have to be remarkably naive to not think their club was having significant financial problems just now unless they’ve made a big sale or have hefty outside investment to keep them ticking over. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally agree, which is why we shouldn't even be entertaining selling McKenna without having a replacement lined up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As much as we're bleeding costs with the new training ground I'd hate to imagine the shambles our training would be at the moment without it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I'd imagine that most Scottish clubs are in the same predicament at the moment, with reduced income all across the board. It's amazing how many think that no news is good news. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully it'll be Kennedy at LW and Hayes at LB. Kennedy spends most of his attacking cutting inside, leaving a huge wasted space out wide as Considine was unable to make use of it most of the time. Hayes at left back would have the pace, energy and ability to make far more use there. 58 minutes ago, Golden Gordon said: There's something a little unsettling about Taylor & Considine being our first choice CB pairing.

As long as McInnes hasn't suddenly decided to play like Man City, that pairing should be good enough domestically. Have Ojo or McGeouch in the team should allow a simpler out ball for them, rather than for most of the first half of last season there was no midfield to speak of and ended with McKenna and Taylor trying to launch 50 yard diagonal passes into the stands. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d31 Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 It's going to be very interesting to see what McInnes has in mind as the first XI when the matches start up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devlin is the biggest culprit for the aimless punt. Soul destroying when you see him get the ball, look around and then just fire it down the line. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, it got a bit predictable with the ball being played across the back line & then punted to Cosgrove. I seem to remember that this was still happening when either Ojo or McGeough were in the team though, which could be put down to managerial instruction, rather than lack of options for an out-bal.l 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
