Jon Russell has refused to sign a new contract there apparently. Expired in the summer, Championship clubs after him so doubt he’d be here next season even if he did come in on loan. Seems pointless.

Looks like Matt Southall finally got his money's worth from that £300 haircut...KiwiValley said:

What kind of midfielder is Kilkenny?0
-
He’s a CM, article linked to in the tweet says he can play in a defensive or more attacking role.
Sounds like another who’d be competition for Morgan.
He’s 5 ft 7 so presumably a very different player to the big Huddersfield CM Nixon linked with us.

Not sure he’ll remember, don’t think he’s got any minutes since AugustDazzler21 said:What kind of midfielder is Kilkenny?2 -
Looked a decent prospect when he came on the scene for Bournemouth but fell down the pecking order. Would be a good signing, probably too good for league 1 once he gets going.9

Probably not move him on, this will be a replacement for McGrandles instead. But if he's coming in specifically to play it seems Morgan is the obvious choice to be replaced.king addick said:

Glad to see nobody is worried Dobbo will be sold. A new deal announced would be better than any new signings atm.1

he got a 12 month extension so there no concerns ..mart77 said:Glad to see nobody is worried Dobbo will be sold. A new deal announced would be better than any new signings atm.6 -
We will never get out of this division with Morgan playing in midfield. He’s not strong enough and doesn't impose himself enough. He’s obviously a talented footballer and shows up well in training. All the managers play him and then steadily lose faith. We need another agressive ball winner who can also play a bit alongside Dobbo & Fraser.
Maybe Russell or Kilkenny will do the job but someone has to.14 -
There is an option for a year extension which has not been actioned at this time by the football clubRonnieMoore said:

Imagine playing Payne and Kilkenny in the same midfield.1

Or he just went grey instantly when the news broke that we were interested in getting him in.eastterrace6168 said:

My thoughts exactly.

I assume that’s because there’s a window at the end of the season when it can be activated, which is probably standard for those clauses.shirty5 said:

Payne, Morgan, Kilkenny, Henry....all quite similar in physical stature.0

Typical can kicking that we have seen over and over again, for the last decade. That's the problem with slowly building a squad (if that's what we were ever trying to do) you spit the good ones out faster than you bring better ones in.Scoham said:

To be honest, we don't need a physically imposing midfielder in so much as we need control. Our midfield has some good players in it but it's so reactive. Dobson putting in a great tackle because an attacker has gone clear, Fraser breaking the lines with some good footwork, maybe a quick searching ball from Morgan. All good stuff but sudden. We very rarely see stuff happen as the result of a platform we've built from controlling the game in the middle. We've got Dobson to go around kicking people and Fraser to come up with some moments of brilliance but we need a midfielder alongside them who can keep the game ticking over while being able to hold his space and win the ball where needed, or at least cover the gaps created by a fullback going or an attack breaking down. I know absolutely nothing about Kilkenny so I don't know if he's that player, but while Albie has some good attributes he just doesn't know how to play to the full extent of his role. He's often caught in odd positions and has trouble resetting on a turnover. It's no surprise that Albie's best games where when Bowyer put him as a wide midfielder in a 4 and told him to stay narrow, put in challenges and play the ball early when he gets it.

Kilkenny having a medical this morning. - sounds like definitely a championship level player.6

Hope so but couldn’t get a kick at Stoke. Fingers crossedSwingForward said:Kilkenny having a medical this morning. - sounds like definitely a championship level player.0 -
Would rather Kilkenny over Morgan every day of the week in midfield0
-
Kilkenny fits the ilk of player I expected we'd be looking at , just hope he's not another Matt Smith (either of them)0

It’s where we are due to the ownership situation, TS doesn’t want to hand out new contracts that will increase the wage bill. Same reason we won’t be paying fees in this window.Cafc43v3r said:

I don’t think slowly building the squad was ever the plan. The money we’ve spent under TS could have built a good top 6 side, the issue is it was spent badly.3
