Beaker71 Posted April 28, 2019 Report Share Posted April 28, 2019 There needs to be a balance, bUt ONLY when the youngster is good enough to merit a place in the side and are better then than what we can bring in for the same kind of money. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harrogate Peter Posted April 29, 2019 Report Share Posted April 29, 2019 Two thoughts about this debate. First as for doing a Motherwell less than two years ago we'd have dreamed of lower mid table especially with a crop of promising youngsters. Second it's not about our youngsters being good enough it's about them potentially being good enough and getting that potential out of them. I still think that Wilson and a fully fit Kiltie have it in them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the past we have been 'forced' into playing youngsters because the money wasn't there for enough good experienced players ... what cash we did have was spunked on wasters by AJ, Locke & Clark. 4 years ago Cameron would have been on the bench every week and getting 15mins if he was lucky ... now he's been out getting toughened up and playing every week and will come back a better player for it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HE needs to make an impact before the FIFA rules change in 2020/21 limiting loans out from all clubs to 6 or 7 maximum. Next seasons a big one for all younger EPL players - could be a fire sale at next seasons end as promising players in the B or C teams get offloaded. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piffer Posted April 29, 2019 Report Share Posted April 29, 2019 (edited) There was a comment in one of the papers today from Millar something along the lines of “at the moment I’m not here next season”. I wondered if he was open to staying, we are in talks about him staying or if I’m just reading too much into it.

Barneyboy Posted May 2, 2019 Report Share Posted May 2, 2019 In the paper today saying " l would be open to coming back next season, of course you want to be playing ever week but the gaffer has told me to be patient and my chance will come to show what I can do, hopefully I did on Saturday, this is a great club and I would love to come back". Sounds as if he would be open to a return if a deal can be sorted. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killie billies pal Posted May 2, 2019 Report Share Posted May 2, 2019 As I posted elsewhere, I am concerned that the huns start their old 70’s/80’s philosophy of buying(loaning) in players purely to stop them from starring with their competitors, if there is one person that could swing Millars’ decisions it would be Gerrard. I hope I am wrong but wouldn’t be surprised to see their interest rise just before the final game of the season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have huge financial obligations in relation to several strikers already. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KillieBus Posted May 2, 2019 Report Share Posted May 2, 2019 Maybe it is just an article quoting a young player who has enjoyed and benefitted from working and learning at a club, with a good team and manager, and that he is happy to come back to next year and continue to improve as a player. We can leave the paranoid stuff with the old-firm and I'm just encouraged he is saying stuff like this about us. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Spitfire Posted May 19, 2019 Popular Post Report Share Posted May 19, 2019 Just wanted to take a minute and say big thanks on behalf of Liam Millar to all the amazing Killie fans, players and coaches. He has had a fantastic time at killie and learned and grew so much as a player. He told me how fond he was of Kilmarnock and the reception he got from the fans he really felt part of the family and said he will always remember his time here and his first goal. He said he couldn't have asked for a better first loan... not sure we’ll he will end up in the fall that’s up to LFC but Kilmarnock will always have a fond place in his heart!! On a personal note. I went to every game he played in since he was on loan travelling up from Liverpool every weekend and have to say it was brilliant and whenever anyone heard my accent they were always supportive complimentary and amazing!! A great club and even better fans!! Best of luck in Europe ! mon the Killie!!! 83 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fmcc Posted May 19, 2019 Report Share Posted May 19, 2019 We’ll have him back in a heartbeat mate. Been a pleasure to play a part in his development. Will be a top player no doubt. You’re welcome back anytime. Once a Killie, always a killie 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shame we didn't see more of him, probably hadn't even heard of us before the move but you could see he gave his all for the club, will make it big one day absolutely no doubt. Would love to see him back next season but if not good luck to him regardless Edited May 19, 2019 by Killie lad 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon Posted May 19, 2019 Report Share Posted May 19, 2019 Like many on here, would liked to have seen more of him - never let us down when he played - would have him back, but if not, I wish him success in the future 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zinger Posted May 19, 2019 Report Share Posted May 19, 2019 young man is a great prospect and hopefully he can get a further season loan with Killie to put the finishing touches at the beginning of a great career.

Thirdwatch1965 Posted May 19, 2019 Report Share Posted May 19, 2019 Liam you can come back anytime. To see your face when you scored at st Mirren showed all of us what it meant. All the very best to you, you will do fine. Your always a killie. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorfolkG Posted May 19, 2019 Report Share Posted May 19, 2019 I think he didn’t show enough for a Championship club to take a punt but that was down to the lack of opportunities. He was getting better and better and I’d be delighted to see him back. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pmonty3 Posted May 19, 2019 Report Share Posted May 19, 2019 That goal at St Mirren was as important as any. Played his part in an outstanding season. Smashing player and would take him back in a heartbeat. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piffer Posted May 19, 2019 Report Share Posted May 19, 2019 Welcome back anytime. As said above the goal at St Mirren was massive. On reflection it probably got our season back on track after a stuttering spell. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dillinger Posted May 19, 2019 Report Share Posted May 19, 2019 He is welcome back any time. We didn't see enough of him, but he looks a cracking prospect. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
