ATLIS Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 Can't see the appeal in Stephen Kelly tbh. It'd mean someone like Omeonga is away or Martindale is going to persist with this stupid central/no wingers system 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'd mean someone like Omeonga is away or Martindale is going to persist with this stupid central/no wingers system In saying that, I'm meaning a loan. A permanent move would be a good move for him as he'll likely develop, a season to settle in and if we can't tie Omeonga down to a new deal then there's your replacement. Just not a loan please ffs, one year left on his deal - make it happen. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dominated the Championship with Ross County as a winger. That was the prev season, scored 11 for us in the Premiership and missed about 9 games through injury. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah had a bit of a bad time of it at the start of the season too after going off against Hibs with a diabetic Seizure, then picking up a couple of injuries, but was still only 2 goals behind the Premiership top goal scorers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martindale wouldn't dare.. I can see the reasoning behind a loan move until January with Bruce struggling for fitness. I would much rather he stayed clearly but with Guthrie now in the building it wouldn't totally shock me to see Bruce go out short term for fitness 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it’s only got a year to go we might be looking to sign him permanently after the loan? It's up in the summer and I believe this loan is with a view to give him game time and get him in the shop window for a new club next season. Was a brilliant player for us previously but I felt he lacked the versatility and energy levels that Martindale wants. Most of our players are able to play in many different positions and will run through brick walls for the team, Josh is very much an old school winger but I felt he faded out of games quickly last season before going out on loan. I watched the Ayr game V Dundee last week and Akinyemi could have a field day with the Postman on the wing, his delivery is outstanding. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still, would be crazy putting your top goal scorer out on loan to get his fitness up, was bad enough sticking Nouble out on loan last season, but that was down to hindsight, not knowing he'd hit the ground running and be so good, with Bruce though, we know exactly what he can do and that he'll do it, score us goals, just get him playing for us and drop this Nouble up front as our main No9 striker. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh I totally agree that he should stay and get fit here.

spiggle Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 So with Mullin shipped out on loan. Do you think we'll get another couple of players in before the window closes? Possibly Odin Bailey back on loan to replace Mullin and the rumoured signing of Stephen Kelly. Is there anyone else? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really frustrating seeing Mullin not getting a chance and going out on loan, effectively ending his days as a Livi player, he'd at least have got us some goals. Thought him and Goncalves linked up well in a cup game too, but for some reason hasn't had a shot of a league game. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LiviLion Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 (edited) GK: George, Konovalov, Hamilton RB: Devlin, Brandon CB: Fitzwater, Obileye, Cancar, Boyes, Parkes LB: Penrice, Montano, Longridge CM/CAM: Pittman, Holt, Omeonga, Kelly, Shinnie, Bitsindou LW/RW: Bahamboula, Nouble ST: Anderson, Goncalves, Guthrie Looking at it like that you probably would be looking for another wide player coming in. All the attackers other than Anderson will likely play everywhere across the front 3 this season if we're using width, Shinnie and Montano popping up every now and then too. If we stick with our christmas tree shape then another CM would maybe make sense for cover. With us getting a red card every other week I wouldn't be averse to one of Marty's classic "anywhere across the defence" backup coming in. Generally think we'd be fine if nothing happened but wouldn't say no to another Kelly and some winger on loan if they're not complete shite.
