Charlie's Dad Posted June 6, 2016 Report Share Posted June 6, 2016 I'd be astounded.....but delighted if there was any truth in this. However watching the clips we'd also need to bring in someone to get the ball to him. Some of the Coventry ball movement through the middle in these goals was excellent. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teethgrinder Posted June 7, 2016 Report Share Posted June 7, 2016 Not going to hold my breath for Armstrong. It would be a bit of a coup to get a year out of a player with that kind of talent. Let's enjoy the rumours for the minute, cos at least they are more exciting than last year's big wowdy shockaroonie Hearts and Rangers reserves jobs. #gawnyerselleeclark! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scouser2 Posted June 7, 2016 Report Share Posted June 7, 2016 11 new players?... Teenager Greg Taylor has signed a new three-year contract at Kilmarnock as manager Lee Clark eyes 11 new players ahead of pre-season training. The 18-year-old left-back, who joined Kilmarnock after leaving Rangers two years ago, made his first three appearances at the end of the season. It is understood deals have been agreed with around five players from England. Kilmarnock, who avoided relegation via the play-offs, are also hoping to secure a number of players on loan. The Scottish Premiership club released eight players and placed seven others on the transfer list at the end of the season. But they are keen to extend the contracts of defender Miles Addison and forward Rory McKenzie and remain confident that they are near agreements with both. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottM Posted June 7, 2016 Report Share Posted June 7, 2016 Deals agreed for five new players, if the BBC are correct. http://m.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/36471945 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piffer Posted June 7, 2016 Report Share Posted June 7, 2016 I wonder how many of the eleven are dependent on getting the transfer listed players off the books. Exciting times to be a supporter with a lot of transfer activity but hopefully this is the last year of wholesale changes and in the future we are only looking at two or three to strengthen and evolve the team. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bute-killiefan Posted June 7, 2016 Report Share Posted June 7, 2016 Mixture of loans and permanent signings it seems. Wonder how the balance will be. If we sign say 3 on loan, then next season will be a rebuild again to replace them. I do agree that for us, they are necessary 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Killiesnow Posted June 7, 2016 Report Share Posted June 7, 2016 Very excited to see who the 5 are, when they'll be announced and who the remaining 6 will be. Does that take our squad size down by many? Just hope LC can get them to gel together quicker and better than previous managers have in recent history. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bullitt Posted June 7, 2016 Report Share Posted June 7, 2016 I assume all five will be announced on Thursday when the window opens... and I would expect Addison to be one of them 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seconded, live in Solihull and the blues fans always say he has an eye for a player, but his management and tactics are a bit wayward. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
historyman Posted June 7, 2016 Report Share Posted June 7, 2016 I can't believe we would ever get near someone who scored 20 goals in League One - there is bound to be a queue of clubs lining up for him. Anyway, he didn't score a single header - what on earth would he do with all those high balls we would be lumping up to him? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO Posted June 7, 2016 Report Share Posted June 7, 2016 Would be nice to sign players who are not just journeymen (insert various names here - Racchi etc)here for a season and then fade away but at the same time we got our fingers burnt with 3 yr deals under Locke - what do we do ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be quite some acquisition, I think. He looks ridiculously good. Why on earth would he come to Rugby Park? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skygod Posted June 8, 2016 Report Share Posted June 8, 2016 (edited) Somebody else came up with his name last week. English-born Scotland U21 international who has played most of his first-team football on loan at Chesterfield, Stevenage and Burton Albion. Suffered a torn testicle in March....

We couldnt judge him too much on last season and I never seen anything to make me particularly worried about him tactically or as a man manager but time will tell once he has his own squad to do as he wishes with. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skyhigh Posted June 8, 2016 Report Share Posted June 8, 2016 If he can spot a player he's a better manager than we've had of late. Seems Locke could only spot good goalkeepers. I'd take LC man management and tactical awareness above anything else we've had lately too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bullitt Posted June 8, 2016 Report Share Posted June 8, 2016 I doubt Mixu was tactically shrewd. Kenny was always the tactician in that partnership. If Clark can spot a player then he will be successful in Scotland. There are very few tactically sharp managers in the SPL. Recruitment and organisation are the only things needed to compete in our league... and so far Clark has demonstrated he can organise a team. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
