craigkillie Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 Pretty happy with this signing - reckon he's similar to Steven MacLean in that he brings something extra out of all the players round about him. I hope he can get a good partnership going with McKenzie. Our business so far this summer seems to have been a lot better than last year's. Next moves have to be a left-back and another centre-back.

AberdeenBud Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 Good signing for Killie imo. Boyd is pretty much irreplaceable, but this is probably the best they could do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Estragon Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 Ah, cheers. I remember you telling us that Sheridan wouldn't get five for us. I feel more confident now you've assessed Miller. Sheridan was utter horse shit though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cass316 Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 Sheridan was utter horse shit though He was a decent enough striker. He was played out of position most of the time though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AberDon Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 MIller barely got double figures for a very good Aberdeen side, and that was when he was much younger. I doubt he'll get there with this Kilmarnock team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quitongo's Left Peg Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 MIller barely got double figures for a very good Aberdeen side, and that was when he was much younger. I doubt he'll get there with this Kilmarnock team. Ahhh, but like a good wine (tonic aside I'm afraid, mon ami) things can also get better with age. The view from Carlisle fans is that he became a more intelligent player during his time there. Sheridan was utter horse shit though Absolute nonsense. As others have said, for a guy played out of position more often than not, he chipped in with a fair few goals... http://sport.stv.tv/football/clubs/hearts/192617-see-spl-video-highlights-as-kilmarnock-make-it-four-in-a-row-at-tynecastle/ Horse shit indeed.

Estragon Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 He had a couple of great games, but his first touch and energy levels weren't up to this level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quitongo's Left Peg Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 He had a couple of great games, but his first touch and energy levels weren't up to this level. He's a target man type striker that was being asked to play as a winger. Kris Boyd's first touch was frequently poor and he struggled at times with energy, does that make him a bad player too?

sergie's no1 fan Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 Miller is a solid signing. There is goals to be had in this league. Steven Thompson was never prolific in his younger days but came back up here and is comfortably a 10 goal a season striker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy_K_97 Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 Happy at Lee Miller signing, solid at Premiership level. Happy that MacKay's signed too, I've seen him in a fair few U20 games and he seems to know what he's doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cowboy Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 miller and cairney are probably better than the make weights aj signed at the start of last season, but still no sign of the quality over quantity he promised us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigkillie Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 To be fair, we've signed three players who will be first-team regulars. That's a lot better than the sort of shit he signed last summer who were quite clearly only ever going to be squad players (Stewart, Jacobs, Nicholson, Silva). If we don't sign anyone else then I wouldn't be happy, but I think this is a good start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm concerned that Muirhead only has a year left. Needs extended pronto. Same with Kiltie, Pooler and hodge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kris Boyd's first touch was frequently poor and he struggled at times with energy, does that make him a bad player too? You're not honestly going to compare the two of them are you? Kris Boyd is one of the best finishers ever to play for Kilmarnock, what did Sheridan bring? The latter had a good half season at St Johnstone playing with Sandaza - but I really don't think he showed at us, Celtic or Motherwell that he was cut out for this level.

CLANCY2KTID Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 Sheridan, when a f**k was given (eg tynie hattrick) - brilliant. Sheridan, when no fucks were anywhere to be found (eg 9 games out of 10) - jobby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radford Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 The latter had a good half season at St Johnstone playing with Sandaza - but I really don't think he showed at us, Celtic or Motherwell that he was cut out for this level. A good seven days at St Johnstone, when he scored all four of his league goals in that 2011/12 season. Maybe a slight exaggeration but when he dropped out of the team injured and Marcus Haber came in, it became pretty clear that the great partnership wasn't so much a pairing but more just the fact Sandaza was a quality player. Haber should have kept his place ahead of Sheridan. He was one of those guys that you'd have been happy enough to keep but were never going to lose any sleep over losing. He had talent and produced it in occasional matches, which boosted his goal tally to appear more impressive than it probably was, i.e. if you look at the actual number of matches he scored in, it wasn't so hot. It was 11 out of 61 matches in his last couple of seasons with Saints and Killie. Not great for a striker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
