RandomGuy. Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 Looks like Coulibaly will shortly resolve his issues with Al Ahly. On his way lads, on his way. He's still fucked, as the quotes say Al Ahly are still taking it to FIFA, a bans still the most likely outcome for him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maximum ban they can impose is only 6 months apparently ..... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Costanza Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 A decent footballer rarely needs to tackle, their positional sense and reading of the game can mean it's not required. That's why Millar often intercepts things instead. Paton on the other hand continually gets caught on the wrong side of the ball before forlornly chasing after it and perhaps launching into a "tackle", more likely a foul.You could make a case for Davidson being our best midfielder but Millar is clearly better than anyone else in there. Davidson is also at his most effective alongside Millar. Tackling is of course a great strength of Davidson's but a lot of them are of his own choosing rather than being caught out as such. The two of them offer a good balance. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radford Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 @Costanza @Broon_100 @PauloPerth @Honest Saints Fan #TeamMidge I'm very much part of this group too and some good points been made about the qualities he possesses. Ask yourself why you never see Millar chasing full pelt after someone like you do with Paton... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C4mmy31 Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 You boys in for him? He's in contact with McCulloch regularly & got himself a house in Killie, also just registered his kid at one of thr local schools. He's also been at a good few of our games as a normal punter. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Saintee Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 Millar is by far our best midfielder. He breaks up play, retains possession and dictates our tempo. As Radford points out he is also very rarely caught out of position. He's not as flashy as Swanson, Scougall or Spoony can be but he's far more consistent a performer. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broon_100 Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 There aren't many midfielders in Scotland I'd swap for a fit Chris Millar. If he could shoot or had a better range of passing he'd have been a world beater. In terms of ball winning/retention though, top drawer. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But go on, name them [emoji6] Well you never qualified it hence my response, but I'll allow it to be central midfielders only from the league. BrownArmstrongNtchamBittonMcGregorShinnieTanseyMcLean (despite what Aberdeen fans think)DorransJack (he's a younger version of Millar)McGinnMcGeouchDjoumBanniganThat's just off the top of my head. I like Millar, but I'd have all of the above ahead of him for sure and that's just the top 6 teams in the league. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Widge Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 Thinking further you could potentially add Bartley, Slivka, Osman, Barton, Draper, Docherty, to name just a few more. He's good, but he's not irreplaceable. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottmcleanscontacts Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 It may have came across that i wasn't a fan of Millar. Not the case at all, just think we have better options. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyle Posted August 23, 2017 Author Share Posted August 23, 2017 So, Denny Johnstone has signed lads... ... On a one year loan deal? Hopefully that means we're only paying a portion of his wage and we're bringing in someone who isn't likely to be the second cummin of Graham Cummins. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
