wellgirl Posted February 3, 2024 Report Share Posted February 3, 2024 On 2/3/2024 at 1:19 PM, MJC said: Perhaps his injury was also a factor in them recalling him. They loan him out in August and a week later is out injured thanks to a shocking tackle from a hammer thrower. Scottish football gets a reputation for being full of dirty players and hatchet men and that would have played right into that stereotype. Then he comes back and they're watching him basically being the one quality player in a mediocre team. Just my view as you said, I don't know if that's exactly what happened or not, but it could well have been a factor. Expand It's a shame all round really. Mika was the first person I spoke to at the calendar signing and he certainly gave the impression he was enjoying his time here. Of course he's going to take a better offer if he can get it - just a sore one given our struggles at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand Cmon mate. Mika left because he got an offer from a bigger club, with better players challenging for the league title. Arsenal also get more of his wage covered. You can blame SK and the club for a lot of things if you like, but not that! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kmcalpin Posted February 3, 2024 Report Share Posted February 3, 2024 I don't understand Killie splashing out £250-300k for him for only 5/6 months. They are already in 4th spot and won't finish higher. They won't win the Cup. They won't finish below 6th. So what's the point?

Stuwell2 Posted February 4, 2024 Report Share Posted February 4, 2024 Might be they thought it was better to have him sitting on their bench rather than run the risk of him going to StMirren and them ending above Killie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand Exactly,it's going to take a few weeks for him just to get upto speed and killie have some decent options up front as it is so it's not like he's guaranteed to be getting 90 mins every week.by all accounts his mental health had suffered since he went back to holland and then there's theres the birth of his wean,you just wonder how motivated he will be between now and the end of the season.it may well turn out to be an expensive by killie but as you say thats there problem.on the fee we received from groningen,does anybody know if we got that in the one go or are we still owed money?

grizzlyg Posted February 4, 2024 Report Share Posted February 4, 2024 First thing my mate noticed yesterday was that KVV looked a bit heavy . They also have plenty options up front so I am not convinced it's money well spent but they have a chairman not short of a few bob KVV was awesome last season when SK took charge. I thank him for that but he's Killie's player now . I would rather focus on The Bair who I am delighted for and if he keeps up this form then SK has really pulled a rabbit out the hat 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
