Greg2208 Posted June 1, 2020 Report Share Posted June 1, 2020 Honestly don’t understand why all our youth players are being released. Very surprised at Taylor leaving. Long are the days where we used to nurture our youth players into the first team. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pompey Repatriated Posted June 1, 2020 Report Share Posted June 1, 2020 Taylor very odd. Had hoped Barlow might break into first team as well 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bullitt Posted June 1, 2020 Report Share Posted June 1, 2020 Great news on Kiltie, McKenzie and Millen... but really disappointed Ally Taylor has not stayed. He looked fantastic when he came on at Parkhead. Anyone have any idea why he didn't want to stay? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scouser2 Posted June 1, 2020 Report Share Posted June 1, 2020 (edited) Good news in Rory staying and a good turnaround too for Kiltie given his comments last year Big blow on Taylor given the club made a lot of his appearances in squad in our final games wish Jamie MacDonald all the best was an excellent servant for us and hope finds a contract with another club which meets his needs Edited June 1, 2020 by Scouser2 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of the guys leaving aren’t Youths but players who have been hanging around the reserve team for a few years without troubling the first team - Barr, McLevy, Monk, McDonald, Lynch, Barlow.

KillieDJ Posted June 1, 2020 Report Share Posted June 1, 2020 I wonder if Taylor will end up at Parkhead with his brother...bit of a risk to not sign a new deal unless he has something lined up 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TLC Posted June 1, 2020 Report Share Posted June 1, 2020 (edited) Hopefully Burke is next to sign up. He’d be a huge loss. Fair play to the club for these regular updates. All too often the support have been left in the dark for weeks on end over the summer months. Edited June 1, 2020 by TLC 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pride_of_ayrshire Posted June 1, 2020 Report Share Posted June 1, 2020 (edited) Glad that deals have been struck with McKenzie and Kiltie. Millen good we need a backup. Happy for Connell and Brindley hope they can get more game time this season. Burke has expressed his desire to stay so hopefully not long before we get him penned down for another year or two(hopefully) Sad to se JMac go but it was showing that he wasn't going to eb our No.1 anymore. Taylor's a bit of an odd one. The departure of most of the development squad is a regular occurrence at the end of every season. I'm excited for the transfer window. Hopeful that AD will get the job done properly unlike last years farce. Edited June 1, 2020 by Pride_of_ayrshire 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piffer Posted June 1, 2020 Report Share Posted June 1, 2020 Surprised at Ally Taylor leaving. Quite a clear out of youth players. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trenwick Posted June 1, 2020 Report Share Posted June 1, 2020 do we think Ally Taylor has been tapped up, knocking back contract when just about to be knocking on first team door. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously, I hope he doesn’t see himself as back-up and will challenge for a first team place. If a mature player like him is just going to be back-up he needs to be more versatile than covering one position. With a small squad, versatile players are a great asset. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he’s out of contract he’s been entitled to talk to clubs for six months. Maybe he doesn’t feel the pathway was right for him, more money elsewhere or just wanted a change of clubs. If we have made an offer will we be due a development fee(however low it is). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Steve Clarke spoke about using him elsewhere in the back line at one point but players recovered and we didn’t have to. The chance is there for him to go and stake a claim for the starting spot. He’s never let us down anytime he’s played but I’ve not heard many people say they’d be having him as a first choice for a prolonged period. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonbon19 Posted June 1, 2020 Report Share Posted June 1, 2020 Well at least there is no doubt that the squad will be Dyers ( and Fowler’s ) choices . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ngonge88 Posted June 1, 2020 Report Share Posted June 1, 2020 Disappointed with Taylor. Thought his brother might have advised that Kilmarnock were great for him coming through and getting a big move. Cant say I'm disappointed about Jamie Mac. Good servant who done well for the club. Unfortunately past his best. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mitch14 Posted June 1, 2020 Report Share Posted June 1, 2020 Wish Jamie MacDonald well, hope he finds a club nearer to home. Pleased with McKenzie and Kiltie. Looking on the bright side here, perhaps seeing some of the benefit of Dyer staying on with Kitlie, having shown faith in bringing him back etc? Might not have had too many offers to be fair, but I wonder. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killieboy Posted June 1, 2020 Report Share Posted June 1, 2020 Did Ally Taylor not recently do an article somewhere talking about how much he liked it at Kilmarnock. Ross Millen should be challenging to make the right back spot his own! whats the story with the youth lads anyone know what level they are likely to appear at? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red_dug Posted June 1, 2020 Report Share Posted June 1, 2020 (edited) Do the Taylor brothers share an agent? Glad to see connell getting a chance, he has something. Edited June 1, 2020 by red_dug 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maverick11 Posted June 1, 2020 Report Share Posted June 1, 2020 GK - Lyle FB - Millen, Waters CB - Findlay, Broadfoot CM - Power, Dicker, El Makrini, Brindley AM/Wide - McKenzie, Kiltie, Connell, Abed, Thomas, Striker - Brophy, Kabamba, Cameron, Rennie 18 man squad covering first team and reserves. Pretty clear where we are short now that you see that. Burke will assist in the AM/Wide area but we are well short in defence (GK, Fullback and Centreback). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wishing young Taylor all the best but wonder if this is another example of an agent going for the short term money for him and the player, only to see the player career fizzle out lost in the depths of a huge squad. Real shame. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Said it before but watch out for Mr Connell. Seeing him staying with us is a great boost as I think he is a future star for Killie.

piffer Posted June 1, 2020 Report Share Posted June 1, 2020 I've deleted the notes I had from the AGM and TiK event but I’m sure Fowler mentioned he’d tried to put a few of the youngsters out on loan and the players had rejected it. I wonder if this didn’t sit well with the coaching staff and that’s perhaps influenced some of the decisions. Given Dyer also spoke about things other than ability influencing decisions on players could an unwillingness to get games under your belt have sealed their fate. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
