As I recall, Allegria’s was announced via their club social media and this hasn’t yet ? Secondly if he has gone, losing Kennedy, Alegria and Hogarth has certainly weakened us so we need a good window to maintain the squad at the level it was before. As it stands, the replacements we have in the squad currently for those 3 positions are all downgrades. Whilst I agree with most of this, I actually think PJ is getting better with each game. Won’t be a lot in it GK wise the more he plays IMO. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Money would be my first guess. I hope it's not true, but if it is I wish him well. Be a hell of an experience for him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustLuvinThepian Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 Kennedy is out of contract at the end of the season and can sign pre contracts now. If Tampa, whose season starts in March, are interested and want him now then they are likely to pay a small fee for him. (Small as in Rangers definition of small). He is only 20 so a development fee wouild be required if he remained in Scotland if they offer him a deal better than he is on now and he rejects it. If he goes to the US now for something, its better than we are likely to be paying for the loan. As much as I dislike them, they are looking out for themselves and taking advantage of somebody willing to pay for somebody who is not likely to be a major fixture in their first team squad going forward. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably because they are punting him permanently. If this deal goes ahead, they won’t allow him to stay with us and risk an injury that could sink the deal. If the deal gets the green light (doubtless they will want a blue light), then I doubt very much that he will play for us again.

Even with no fee involved, adding a decent selling on fee woul offer the potential for compensation. Or incentify it. Send a player back on loan for remainder of the season. Send Pearse Carroll to Albion Rovers in return. We get Reilly. They Get Carroll for the rest of the season. Carroll gets regular first team football (which he is not getting just now). Win-Win for both. Afterall, Tony Cascarino was once bought with a set on new tracksuits being the fee. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given they've just spent money on Joe Bevan and Brian Reid was in the papers the other day talking about there being a host of clubs chasing Reilly yes they would be expecting a fee. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FFC 1876 Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 It's not confirmed yet but it's highly likely given he's out of contract in the summer and Rangers clearly don't have him in their plans. It's a right weird career move though, Rangers apparently turned down a bid from West Ham for him last summer and now he's off to the American second tier. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebobsboy Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 Big ask for McGlynn to get three or four decent players in if Kennedy is away. Sadly that's the risk you take with loans, if we don't get players in I think we might fall out the playoff picture. -2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustLuvinThepian Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 With loans, does the window not extend until the end of February? I imagine there will be the usual end of window rush from "big" clubs sending players out on loan. Likely just have to get on with it until the end of the window 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we don’t qualify for the playoffs given the quality of our competitors, apart from Dunfermline, then it’ll be an absolutely abysmal season. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right calm your beans, Kennedy leaving would be a nightmare but it wouldn't exactly be game over. 14 games, 2 goals and 2 assists for him in the league. Connor Smith from Hearts would be an ideal replacement or Kucheriavyi from St Johnstone. I personally think Alegria's a bigger loss as he was flourishing in the lone striker role. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

18BAIRN76 Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 It’s at times like this I’m going to defer to my principles - that means not getting too upset at losing a couple of loanees from the bigots. They will be a loss, but neither are irreplaceable. As squads take shape towards the end of the month, I still retain faith McGlynn has the quality contacts to bring suitable replacements in. He’ll need to be on it, but he will be. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
