I said on a previous post that I wouldn’t be too bothered, as I think we’d still get someone adequate enough to play centre half of Kingsley doesn’t sign. Kingsley is head and shoulders above this level, so of course he’ll be a great signing Fair enough! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadwell Dog Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 I think we'll score goals this season and our weak area will be defence so signing Kingsley may just make or break our season. I'm not going to go crazy if we don't but I'd say we have a far higher chance of promotion with him in our side than without him. As I said previously he managed 27 games in the season before last and was fit enough to play for Hull in February this year before the lockdown so I don't feel his injury record is quite as bad as others are making out. He's no Graeme Barrett for starters. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 Get him and get him fit then both sides win. It isn’t a huge gamble IMO if it is only to the end of the season and we won’t be paying him a kings ransom either. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree - if there is any possibility of getting him for a short contract it’s a no brainer mate. Imagine what he could teach some of the younger lads about diet, sports science, professionalism etc - he’d be a great role model. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Proudtobeabairn Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 Naturally I'd be delighted if he signs but I don't get how this benefits Kingsley. Sure he might get fit but he also 'outs' himself as someone who couldn't find a team at a decent level. he could play like Roberto Carlos all season in Scottish league 1 and won't be enough to get him back to the championship down south level. Surely a half decent agent would be finding him an SPL or English League One club at worst. Also all this talk of a 6 month deal also doesn't make sense. Why sign until the end of March? Surely it'll be January or the end of the season? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Higher up again up here, or back to England 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They will likely wait till he regains fitness and then make him an offer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having said that I would have thought though his agent would have came up with a better option than Falkirk in Division 3. But as my wife says never look a dead horse in the mouth so take him if he is available , would be a brilliant addition to what is looking like a very good squad. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

English championship shit though is a good few levels above probably every side in Scotland bar two. If he's getting picked regularly at that level he's more than good enough for us and most sides up here. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why play in the seaside league, it's all very strange. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe lack of requirements for a left back in the top flight with the reduced squads this season. He maybe hasn't been offered enough dough to sign a longer deal so will take 6 months with us in the hope of getting a better deal once he's proven himself in 6 months. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southstand_bairn Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 some interesting comments from neil doncaster on the radio about getting fans in to the grounds claiming that this is all political.

Also the dependency on having fans in grounds is much greater in scotland than in the premiership. They say the government isn't following the science and small crowds could be allowed in. Royal Albert hall being given as an example 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
