Gna take him weeks to get up to speed. Yep we thought that too although he may just have been well wrapped up. 🤷♂️ Based on only this initial view it does confirm my thought though that it wouldnt have been have been worth pushing boat out to bring him back.

Kmcalpin Posted February 3, 2024 Report Share Posted February 3, 2024 I don't understand Killie splashing out £250-300k for him for only 5/6 months. They are already in 4th spot and won't finish higher. They won't win the Cup. They won't finish below 6th. So what's the point? An expensive act of vanity Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stuwell2 Posted February 4, 2024 Report Share Posted February 4, 2024 Might be they thought it was better to have him sitting on their bench rather than run the risk of him going to StMirren and them ending above Killie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you honestly think he will score lots of goals, he's looking overweight, hasn't played since November, so it's going to take at least a month to get him match fit he's not the goal machine from last season, but he's Killies problem now.

Exactly,it's going to take a few weeks for him just to get upto speed and killie have some decent options up front as it is so it's not like he's guaranteed to be getting 90 mins every week.by all accounts his mental health had suffered since he went back to holland and then there's theres the birth of his wean,you just wonder how motivated he will be between now and the end of the season.it may well turn out to be an expensive by killie but as you say thats there problem.on the fee we received from groningen,does anybody know if we got that in the one go or are we still owed money?

grizzlyg Posted February 4, 2024 Report Share Posted February 4, 2024 First thing my mate noticed yesterday was that KVV looked a bit heavy . They also have plenty options up front so I am not convinced it's money well spent but they have a chairman not short of a few bob KVV was awesome last season when SK took charge. I thank him for that but he's Killie's player now . I would rather focus on The Bair who I am delighted for and if he keeps up this form then SK has really pulled a rabbit out the hat 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mad Dog Posted February 4, 2024 Report Share Posted February 4, 2024 Dom Thomas scored the winner for Queen's Park to beat ICT. Stuart McKinstrey played an hour.

True, he was likely under the impression that he was coming to Fir Park to play total football, with a wee bit of tika taka on the side, right? Sold a bill of goods for sure. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He left because he got a chance to test himself and get some more experience at a higher level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really liked the guy and would loved it if he'd stayed. He played like an old school centre forward though, so not sure he needs total football to be more productive.

weeyin Posted February 9, 2024 Report Share Posted February 9, 2024 Another classic example of a misleading clickbait headline in the Herald today. Turnbull in 'other things' Celtic transfer exit suggestion actual quote from DT in the article: Quote At the start of the season I was playing games and after that fell away a wee bit. Sometimes in football that happens. Whether it is down to other things I am not sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
