Jonjoe Kenny

[Eggs]

Than Mykolenko? He was one of our better players in the run in.

….I think he was a mixed bag, terrific goal at Leicester but he can be quite wasteful in the top third. There were times when Nkounkou looked a machine going past the opposition. As a WB I think he has a lot of potential and possibly a better option than Mykolenko.

I see no problem in offering Kenny another year or 2 on less wages

Just about to release a deadwood mate you wanna give him a new contract. Shall we recall Penno?

 

[KaiserEFC]

So people want another Pennington/McAleny/Garbutt then do they?

Kenny earns more than all of them did and all.

If we have Patterson as our starting RB i think having Kenny as cover makes sense and we can spend money on other areas of the squad.
Having coleman as our only other RB is a risk imo.

Kenny is a Championship level player. Get rid he’s 25.

Mykolenko is a far better player than Nkounkou. I don't think he will be at the club next season

We should definitely have both Mykolenko and Nkounkou in the squad next season, no more RBs and CBs at LB. It will also allow us to focus on other areas of the squad in terms of transfers.

As this is the Kenny thread, does anyone know if he's been released yet? If he's on the retained list I have bad vibes about next season.

Who would you have as a stater and as cover then?

Patterson and a new RB.

He’s utterly terrible. Not sure how anyone would want him to stay. League 1/Championship at best

Having ‘backups’ is exactly the mentality that took us here.

The problem with ‘backups’ is that they play 10-15 games a season.

All of the squad are essentially 1st team over the season so what you want is competition for places, players that can push the ones who have the shirt so that when you need them, they’re good enough.

Kenny is a player they have tried to sell and loan out for years. Now he’s finally off the books it would be crazy to repeat the mistake.

They played Iwobi at full back to avoid using him, what does that say?

Giving him a contract would be proof that once again we have learned absolutely nothing from the near death experience this season.

 

[Clarky cat]

This sums up his defending… panic, dive-in, lead with wrong foot, shin it past the keeper. What a player. Purge all pathway blockers!!

 

[UseTheForsh]

Patterson and a new RB.

My point is that we should be investing in other areas of the pitch.
Our midfield is the worst in the league imo and we need 2 new centre backs.
If we can pick up someone better than kenny for free and on lower wages then I'm all for it

 

[Drico]

Has he gone yet?

 

[Drico]

He's not good going forward, don't get me wrong. It just seems to be an oft repeated thing that he's a steady reliable defender but not good enough going forward when in reality he's reasonable enough on the overlap and as a crosser but a dreadful defender.

I'd settle for any of our backs to be good defenders.
