Matthew Kennedy...

[Mikey_Fitzgerald]

He's not starting regularly in the Scottish second tier even with Stubbsy managing. Love to be wrong but it doesn't look as promising as when he first signed.

As a loanee, I doubted he'd play all the time as he'd be essentially taking the spot of one of the Hibs players. It's a balancing act really

Can people calm down fuming at other blues for being sceptical about our young players. They can't all be Barkleys.

He reminds a bit of Deulofeu actually

*Waits for everyone to go nuts at this comment when if they think about it there are similarities)

Hang on, you slated Delu all last season, now you rate a Scottish kid who reminds you of him

Go on.

Cannot see Kennedy ever making it

Pace on the wing, looks to shoot, bit selfish etc

@bluebud I did dislike Delo yes. I don't think Kennedy is as selfish as him though. Plus, he's actually our player. I got annoyed when Delo got chances over our own because I knew he wasn't staying and wasn't coming back

Found his level, amateur football up in Scotland.

Main difference:
Del at 19 - on loan to Everton, regular playing time in the Premier League.
Kennedy at 19 - on loan to Hibs, second division of Scotland.

I hope to god Kennedy turns out as good as Del. But I'm having trouble believing he's even near the same level.

Fair play I was just messing, I can see the similarity in style but their is quite a gap in quality between the two of them, Delu had a successful loan here playing in our first team and now at Sevillia, Kennedy is doing well at Hibs but it's a much lower standard of football. I hope Kennedy does well for himself but I'd rather have Delu back.

I said he's a similar player in the way he plays, not that he was as good

He may never be. But, he could be good enough to be a benefit to the side

Sadly the only thing he has in common with Deulofeu are the weak points about Deulofeu's game.

 

[bluemangroup]

We not jettisoned this Scottish joker yet?

Fair enough. I misread that then.

I hope you're right, it would be nice to have a useful academy winger.

Returning from Hibs after the Hearts game.

Sadly, as with Lundstram, don't really see him playing for us ever.

But not seen too much of this kid if I'm honest.

KENNEDY: @MattyKennedy31 will be returning to Goodison after his six-month loan spell at Hibernian ends when they face Hearts on Saturday

Interesting that we're bringing him and Lundstram back though

I think it might just be because they weren't getting game time at those clubs.

Kennedy was sub a lot and Blackpool fans hated Lundstram.
