D'Jaffo Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 Serious question, what is the point of a pre-contract rather than just wait till the end of the season. Does the player get anything extra in the meantime. Also a damming indictment in that he obviously doesnt think we’ll be going up !Dykes obviously wanted to leave at the end of the season but getting a PCA signed means that he doesn’t have to worry about waiting around in the summer and can focus on the rest of the season. Anyway PCA between two Scottish clubs can be iffy if they aren’t careful. Scots Law dictates you can’t agree to agree to something so if they’re not done correctly they can be broken. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doubt our (admittedly slim) promotions prospects have anything much to do with it. Ultimately, as is generally the case with such things, it’ll be about the money. Always liked Dykes, but felt he was a work in progress - an athlete that we were trying to turn into a footballer. Very few players at this level in Scotland have his natural athletic gifts: strength, physique, height, pace. But he was far from a natural finisher, his first touch could be better at times, and he didn’t always make the impact that his physical attributes suggested he should. He’s improved massively this season and has the potential to improve further, so I doubt we’ve seen the best of him. As has been suggested, he’s not irreplaceable, but he won’t necessarily be easy to replace either. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spring Onion Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 Is there any rumours (idle gossip about random players coming is part of the fun)or news regarding players coming in before the window SLAMS shut? I know the manager said it would be likely that any deals would be done near the end of the window. Can loan deals be completed after the window closes? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There will be players coming in but how many will depend on tonight’s result. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His contract runs out in 2020, I reckon he’ll see it out and off to the English championship. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flood Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 Sure this will be a great signing. No shame not to get into Killie team ahead of Dicker/Power (but not far behind) and hopefully can get good game time with you 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
19QOS19 Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 Is he a holding midfielder then? Happy with a body. Can't say it's an area we needed cover in though. Unless he is in fact an attack minded player. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sloop John B Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 (edited) I’d have hated to have been the guy to clean up the mess after Naysmith heard that an industrious midfielder than could play in two defensive positions was available on a loan.

Unless he is in fact an attack minded player. he is probably more defensive, but can go past men. Look at goal against doondee last year when we won 3-2 after dicker sent off. Ran from halfway line beating half their team before calm finsh 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C4mmy31 Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 Iain Wilson is a cracking player guys, look after him. Big lurch might look a bit awkward with the ball at his feet but when he strides forward he ghosts past players. He's quite versatile to as he can play midfield, right back & he's even played centre back on occasion. He has some engine on him, will run all day, he was the scottish schools cross country champion. As Steve Clarke says, he will be a big player in our future All the best for the rest of the season........ 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the west curve Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 In Iain Wilson you have got one of the best young players in Scotland. I’m a bit surprised Killie have let him go but Steve Clarke knows best. He has a huge future in front of him. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully better than the last one you gave us though [emoji14] 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
