CALDERON Posted June 11, 2021 Share Posted June 11, 2021 On the plus side, I'd like to think the way we play will encourage some decent loan options. Kennedy spoke highly of his time here, and the clubs stock is as gold as its been in some time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raith_Raver Posted June 11, 2021 Share Posted June 11, 2021 Too bad Hendry's gone, but I expect McGlynn has contingency plans for the midfield. I can't see King being in these plans... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TxRover Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 (edited) 6 hours ago, stevoraith said: Tx, you are aware that we can sign players that haven’t previously played for us? I have enough faith in JMcG that he won’t replace our best player with one that was only good enough to play 10 games for us last season. Yep, I had simply observed a few months ago that Adam King might be a passable DM (and touted Liam Dick, for what that’s worth), even if not the ideal choice. I was continuing that line of thought, as we need some midfield support, and I haven’t seen anyone else mentioned or available in what would appear to be our budget. And, with regard to King only playing in 10 games, that was out of 16 possible, so not the indictment you suggest. Again, I don’t love the bloke, but I see a weak spot he might address, and would be just as happy with another player filling the role as well or better.

Ro Sham Bo Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 McGlynn quoted in today's Courier as saying that from what he's led to believe Hendry won't be playing in Scotland next season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King was available for 22 games, started in 6 of them and finished only 3. He's a second-stringer. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raith1974 Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 Theres a massive pool of available players out there. Agents will be offering players to several clubs. Although Hendry will be difficult to replace if we get the right body in then we should be okay. Matthew's improved last season, Tait still developing but had massive potential and Spencer is a good fit. Two players that could be tempted one at the end of his career is Michael Gardyne old experienced head, something we have lacked, the other is Liam Polworth released by Motherwell. Adam King struggled in a league below us and did not stand out in any games for us. Not good enough if we are looking to finish top 4. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brashy's Boots Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 If anyone thinks King is the answer they're asking the wrong question. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CALDERON Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 This reminds me of some guy on fantalk who used to obsess over guys like Syme and Osei and try and shoehorn them into their preferred lineups. Sometimes players aren't good enough. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
San Starko Rover Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 Well it’s a shame to see Hendry go but I think we all knew it was inevitable after the season he had. Shame we as fans never got to see it in person but what a player he was for us, one of the best I’ve seen since the 90s. I wish the lad every success wherever he ends up as there’s talent there. He’ll be very hard to replace and I’m certain we’ll need to adapt our style a bit but as mentioned above presumably our contract offer was pushing the boat out so it should free up a decent wage to try and bring in a good player. Kai Kennedy’s comments are great to see, I’ve always said we must be doing something right off the pitch as players seem to enjoy being at the club. If guys like him and Gullan return to their clubs with positive opinions of our setup it can only help to encourage future loans from these teams that benefit both parties. Interested to see who we get in now as preseason nears. Can’t see King unless it’s a squad roll McGlynn watched the same games we did and he wasn’t anything more than a squad player for us. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RRFC2711 Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 I think King would be a valuable addition to the squad and would fit into John’s way, if McGlynn goes for him he will have a very considered opinion of how he wants to play him,I trust the manager completely. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McGuigan1978 Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 Would it be fair to say Hendry was our best midfielder since Colin Cameron? Seems quite a statement when you think that’s 25 years or whatever, but I’m struggling to think of anyone else. Admittedly we’ve not exactly had an abundance of talented players in that position over the last couple of decades, but I always had Paquito as the best since Mickey, but would rate Hendry higher. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RRFC1989 Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 Where has this suggestion come from that we’ll sign King? I’ve seen nothing other than a few questionable characters on here thinking we will. I think the fact he struggled to get into our team last season even with McGlynn seeing regularly in training suggests he just isn’t good enough. Whilst we’re just chucking names out there, i’ll through Michael Gardyne’s name in the mix. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
