Big Yards Posted December 21, 2013 Report Share Posted December 21, 2013 I see Garry Kenneth is currently on trial with Ross County. I know the big man is not a world beater but if he could recapture some of the form that got him a Scotland call up he could be a decent shout for us. We need a big strong, powerful centre half. Neither mcausland or mair are that and we have been crying out for a dominant type of defender to partner mcgregor for a long time now. Thoughts?

2becks Posted December 21, 2013 Report Share Posted December 21, 2013 I think this belongs in the speculation thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slapsalmon Posted December 21, 2013 Report Share Posted December 21, 2013 i think it belongs in a tolkien book. Pairing McGregor who is prone to as many howlers as Mair\McAusland with kenneth is IMHO worse than any of the summer business we did.

Lex Posted December 21, 2013 Report Share Posted December 21, 2013 Defence is the only position we are pretty well covered in. Mair, McGregor, McAusland and Goodwin are all experienced centre halves and they're all better than Kenneth IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aldo_j Posted December 21, 2013 Report Share Posted December 21, 2013 so that's the end of that garry kenneth is not coming to saint mirren Pretty much. I don't expect him ever to wear a Saints shirt. Funnily enough I was talking about Kenneth with a colleague that supports United, he said his only good season came when he played next to Webster. When Webster left he was poor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
faraway saint Posted December 21, 2013 Report Share Posted December 21, 2013 (edited) As our defence has been a constant thorn a FIT Garry Kenneth could have been a decent addition but it seems his recent injuries are an issue. This would be a deal breaker for any interested club. 163 games for Dundee Utd, capped for Scotland fro U19 to full International level. Has he upset some of our fans to write him off? PS He's only 26, a good age for a defender. Edited December 21, 2013 by faraway saint Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kendo Posted December 21, 2013 Report Share Posted December 21, 2013 He is affordable and the type of player in our wage budget. He is a no nonsense centre half and better than Mair IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wilbur Posted December 21, 2013 Report Share Posted December 21, 2013 On the plus side, he does know someone with some financial insight that could assist the club's' cash flow. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-tayside-central-22658744 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Callum Gilhooley Posted December 21, 2013 Report Share Posted December 21, 2013 One of the worst spl central defenders ive ever seen. The only reason he got anywhere near a Scotland cap was because Craig Levien was picking his pals ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Large numbers of football fans are stupid. Some are very stupid. A good gauge of the very stupid is by reading the posts of the Garry Kenneth critics on this thread...

aldo_j Posted December 21, 2013 Report Share Posted December 21, 2013 Jens Paeslack had a German under 21 cap. Sergi Baltacha had a few games for Scotland under 21's. Playing for a National team at Under 21 level doesn't mean jack. Nor is it a sign the Kenneth is a good player. Which he isn't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garry Kenneth is a world class player who is simply misunderstood by all the football experts & he chose to play in the Fourth tier of English football (the bottom half of it ,i might add) He will , im sure, be on the radar of La Liga teams.

Sergie's no1 fan Posted December 22, 2013 Report Share Posted December 22, 2013 This is the type of player we should be going after. He would improve the squad. He is solid enough for the level we are at, knows the SPL inside out and won't cost any money. He will dominate strikers, doesn't mind putting it about. Seriously who do people think we should be going after? We are a bottom 6 SPL team, we don't have the right to be turning our nose up at players like Kenneth. Goodwin isn't a defender and Mair won't be here for much longer. Long term Naismith will move to cb but we need to sort out our defence its been a problem since Danny has took over.

BAWZ Posted December 22, 2013 Report Share Posted December 22, 2013 Seriously who do people think we should be going after? Good question. I can't believe the slagging some players get on here when anyone suggests them as a potential signing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Callum Gilhooley Posted December 22, 2013 Report Share Posted December 22, 2013 Good question. I can't believe the slagging some players get on here when anyone suggests them as a potential signing. So you would prefer it if we dont fancy a player just to shut up ? We all have views on players abilities or suitability for our club and surely a fans forum is the place to air our opinions .
