bute-killiefan Posted July 23, 2020 Report Share Posted July 23, 2020 I've been one of his biggest critics, and I still don't like the nature in which he got the job, but he has really grown into it. This close season has been great, him and Dyer are clearly working really well together. The Haunstrup signing is one I think would have got away from us in previous years, but we got it over the line. Credit to him 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tshibola imo if he really wanted it and upped his aggression and dominated players could be worth a bit of cash if he signed a 2 year deal let’s say. If he bullied players like Mulumbu in the Celtic game he would be one of the best in this league. If he lifted his urgency and really had head screwed on would be a good signing for Killie. Has a sort of Pogba style about him where his demeanour and style can really piss folk off at times. The only similarity with Tshibola and Pogba is that sometimes they both look like they cant be arsed.

Secret Squirrel Posted July 23, 2020 Report Share Posted July 23, 2020 It would be rash to judge the window before it has finished, however this window we do seem to have a better structure in place to find players which fit our profile with thought taken to how they fit in with the group. Hopefully we can get a few more in to help the team and we should be good to go for the season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He said himself on the Killie podcast that he was approached at the bar of hospitality and asked about the job when he was up watching a game after leaving Sunderland. Well documented.

Ngonge88 Posted July 24, 2020 Report Share Posted July 24, 2020 Yeah I put my hands up and say I was very critical of Fowler in January. However I do believe that was deserved. This window we look a lot more prepared and a lot of effort has gone in early to the players we were targeting. All new players look to have been in at the club early. Some deals have taken a wee bit longer to get over the line but the deals are still getting done. Rogers will be next I reckon 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Souleycouley93 Posted July 24, 2020 Report Share Posted July 24, 2020 Rogers signing makes sense. No way he will be spending 3-4 weeks on trial if he’s no offered something. Hooper you would say is up in the air in terms of can we justify the money for him albeit probably not much. Apart from Haunstrup so far I can’t see any of the new guys regularly starting. Maybe Pinnock but hard to tell. A starting quality centre back and another more creative midfielder for 4231 games would be beneficial. Interesting to see if we do anymore loan buisness for bodies. -4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’ve literally made all that up in yer heed. Absolutely opinions are usually formed in your head. As I said it’s hard to tell ^ but the levels Rossi and Whitehall are coming from its more than likely they will have to wait for a chance of a start instead of going straight into the team. Deductive reasoning. I said Rory is likely to play at Easter Road because it’s a tough game and it would be more suited for him. Also he knows the league and opponents so less risk for the manager to play him. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McDeeBop Posted July 24, 2020 Report Share Posted July 24, 2020 Got to give him his due, there does seem to be a plan in place and it's being executed. Wonder if being managed the Scotland national team's assistant manager is also a bit of a factor in luring players? Obvious benefits for the Scottish contingent, but even for the non-Scots, their name must be even slightly more visible than it previously would have been? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt the English guys are even aware of this. It's eight months since Scotland played and there must be a doubt whether AD will retain the position. You could say Steve Clarke being Kilmarnock should have been a draw for potential signings. Alex Dyer is pushing things a bit. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
