Jonjoe Kenny

[Clarky cat]

He's been offered a new contract on vastly improved terms until June 2027.

If that was even slightly true the ink on the contract would of still been drying while Kenny turned into a cartoon Tasmanian devil searching for a pen. Certainly not enough time for any information to be leaked before it was already signed!

Because we can’t keep depending on Seamus

Patterson really needs to be first choice next year or it was a really bizarre signing. If that’s the case then we’re not really ‘depending’ on Coleman we’re just asking him to be back up. I’m a massive fan of his and have defended him a lot but if he can’t do that he needs to retire because we’re paying him a fortune and just not playing at all would be taking the mick.

….Holgate or Kenny, Kenny or Holgate. I’ll select Betty over both of them. Betty is my 93 year old mother-in-law.

Can she play on both flanks?

 

[Bluestar]

There’s no justifiable reason to extend JJK’s contract, let it expire in the summer, let Coleman gradually step back and bring an experienced RB in with Patterson as back up

We have spent on Patterson, we won’t be bringing in another right back. It will be him and Coleman next season.

We will likely need a centre back, defensive midfielder, box to box midfielder, and replacements for Richarlison and DCL. This will all have to be done on a limited budget. We won’t be paying for more right backs!!

 

[Bluestar]

He’s not good enough.

But if he’s willing to be one of the lowest paid members of the squad, with little to no game time, this unfortunately makes sense as he’s homegrown and we’re skint.

This really. Cheap backup.

What does this matter?

What does this matter?

“The Homegrown Player Rule is an initiative of the English Premier League to allow for more domestic players to be developed from an earlier age in the hope of nurturing more homegrown talent. It forms part of the League's Elite Player Performance Plan. The Premier League proposed a maximum of 17 non-"homegrown" players in each club squad, and the squad size is a maximum of 25. This means that in a full squad of 25 players, there must be at least eight homegrown players.”

We aren’t struggling to meet that.

….if we want a homegrown back-up to the back-up, Stanley Mills is already a better option than Kenny. He’s athletic, aggressive & he’s a genuine threat in the top third. He’s not the best defender but neither is Kenny.

I would be absolutely mortified if we gave Kenny a new deal. It takes some doing to be the worst player in a team as terrible as this one and he's managed to achieve that with flying colours.

As a club, we must stop rewarding mediocrity as a matter of urgency.

Coleman and Patterson are fine for next season.

Patterson is obv going to start. Coleman as back up and Holgate as 3rd back up. What i am saying is why keep Kenny

….totally agree. Really disappointed if he gets a new deal, he’s high risk when he plays.

This is a club that gave Jose Baxter an actual paid coaching role so he could tell the young players not to become a raging beak head like him.

A new contract for JJK is the reality of the mess Moshiri has made, blowing all that money on rubbish means we cant just let him go and throw money at another club for a replacement, not unless we sell a few.
I fully expect his contact to be very cheap by PL players standards
Anyway he had one good game recently, Iwobi has turned fans opinion in his favor right now, JJK has to do that same.... if he can

 

[Walken]

….totally agree. Really disappointed if he gets a new deal, he’s high risk when he plays.

The last sentence is the key, he is that bad he can't be classed as cover and will cost us points that we cannot accept.
