If the rental really is £75k a season, if certain guarantees were in place, £75k a year in mortgage payments would be better than renting it, but that’s a superficial view that knows nothing about the deal beyond the bleedin’ obvious. It really is… 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
latapythelegend Posted July 5, 2021 Share Posted July 5, 2021 If Keena misses anything more than 2/3 weeks between now and Christmas then he should be getting punted in January. The club can't afford to have hangers on for a wage. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m really, really worried. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m really, really worried. I'd imagine Sheerin will have been taking a look at Sneddon to see what needs done with him. If he's not up to it he should go out on loan to give him the chance he needs and give us room for another signing even if it's just a loan. The one goalie is an issue but they said in the Q&A that there were two goalkeepers on trial so hopefully one of them's decent. Calum Ferrie would have done for me but Queens Park have snapped him up as their back up. I'm not buying the Keena injury prone thing, he got a bad injury from a bad tackle last year in the cup and if it is his rumoured collarbone this time then that's just an unfortunate training ground injury. Disappointing that he won't get a proper pre season again but he'll be back. The issue for me is the players we need to sign right now are right through the spine of the team. Our only back up at centre back is Ben Hall, our only centre mid cover is Gary Miller and we only have Dowds upfront who I think will have a better season this year but we can't rely on him solely.

Rocco Posted July 5, 2021 Share Posted July 5, 2021 Just to clarify, Keena wasn’t injury prone before we signed him. He got a bad injury last year and if the rumours are true, he’s been unlucky and picked up another injury that will keep him out longer than a few weeks. I don’t get why everyone is talking like he’s injury and out all the time. He missed half the season because of one injury. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I genuinely hope you are right and he proves to be as fit as a fiddle and plays most of the games this season mate - we can’t afford any passengers in our small squad. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find this a little harsh, his main injury last season was after a poor tackle, and if rumours are right this season then it’s a broken collar bone, fair enough if it was persistent niggles with muscles like Connolly last year. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not harsh at all. He'll still get a full wage despite doing nothing but rehab whilst injured. If he was put on SSP whenever he was injured I wonder if he would be out as much? -4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're in coocoo land. Last season he should have just hopped about the park until his leg had fully recovered ae? Absolute donut.

The clubs in the gutter so spare me the hard luck stories. If he's injured then quite frankly that's no use to the club. If he came back after his injury and put in any close to a decent performance in April then I'd maybe be a bit more sympathetic. As it stands we've handed a 2 year deal to a player who has played a handful of games in 12 months. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As i say, if he doesn't play and perform consistently for us before Christmas then he should be punted in January. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
