Sounds like it may all come together in next 24 hrs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be harsh to see him go so soon. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graham Posted August 27, 2020 Report Share Posted August 27, 2020 Youssouf Mulumbu close to third spell at Kilmarnock Youssouf Mulumbu was a favourite with Kilmarnock fans Congo midfielder Youssouf Mulumbu is close to agreeing a third stint at Kilmarnock. The 33-year-old has been without a club for more than a year after being released by Celtic in May 2019. He has been training with the Ayrshire club and the departure of Mohamed El Makrini could free up wages for the former West Brom and Norwich player. El Makrini, who has not featured this season, has flown to Norway for talks with IK Start. "If he decides to go that could allow us to do something with Youssouf," explained manager Alex Dyer. "If not then we still have a player who played a big part for us last season." Scottish Premiership ins and outs Mulumbu ended season 2018-19 on loan to Kilmarnock, playing 12 times. He had moved to Celtic after impressing for the Rugby Park outfit during previous season but only made three appearances for the Scottish champions. Dyer expressed doubts over Mulumbu returning to action in time for Saturday's game with Dundee United but said: "I'm sure we could get him ready to play even a bit part soon enough. "He's not played for a while but a player of that ability never loses it. "He's the type of character we could use around here. He's a great person and since he walked back in for training this week it's been like he's never been away." 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrangodog Posted August 27, 2020 Report Share Posted August 27, 2020 How close is close ? Really close, really really close, or even closer than than that ? Wish we wouldn't say anything until we've actually signed him. Motherwell getting nearly £3m for Turnbull is a bit of a worry until Mulumbu has been signed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skygod Posted August 28, 2020 Report Share Posted August 28, 2020 (edited) I'm not as pessimistic generally, but I'm not fussed about Mulumbu either. Other positions in the team need strengthening more. Edited August 28, 2020 by skygod -4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even a win tomorrow is only papering over the cracks and going to prolong this. Its a horrible scenario. I get your antipathy in the bigger picture, but Lee McCulloch signed players who he couldn’t get the right tune out of, yet proved very valuable in pushing the club forward when the right man was given the reigns. If we have the basis of a stronger squad than last year, that can only be a good thing if a change in manager is needed, rather than him coming in and wanting a huge overhaul - with no budget. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fudger Posted August 28, 2020 Report Share Posted August 28, 2020 Mulumbu probably isn't a priority signing but he will still be a fantastic signing whatever way you cut it. The guy is a class act and had it not been for Steve Clarke would have been nowhere near our club then and now. ANNOUNCE MULUMBU! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can kinda see where your coming from and I’m not as excited by Mulumbu as I was the previous times. However I’m prepared to give it a chance, hoping he might be the spark that might get our season going even though I remain totally unconvinced Dyer can turn this around 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post mitch14 Posted August 28, 2020 Popular Post Report Share Posted August 28, 2020 Utterly baffled by people not excited by Mulumbu. One of the best Killie players I've seen in telhe last decade by miles. Defence cutting passes, brilliant in the middle of the park... Remember that touch to take the ball out of the sky and immediately nutmeg a Thistle player? He's great value 15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piffer Posted August 28, 2020 Report Share Posted August 28, 2020 As a club we have to be constantly looking to sign better than what we have. Bringing in Mulumbu(if he can find fitness and form) does that. I’m looking forward to seeing him in stripes again The only issue I have is we are still screaming out for quality in other areas which we could possibly address rather than bring in another CM. We’ve looked toothless upfront, still to reliant on Burke to create and we have very little pace in the team. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
