But what is wrong with giving Kenny a run?
Martina is third choice for a side that finished about 20 points below us. He's not a young player and won't improve. Throw Kenny in and he might bomb like Martina has but he might succeed and we'd have another young scouse lad in the first team.
This signing essentially confines Kennys career at Everton to the dustbin. It seems massively short term thinking.
I like Kenny and would have played him this year with the injuries , our management clearly felt differently played what is effectively a centre half out there . The lad has had two loans to a league one and league two side , in that order I think .
Kenny might have a great future but those watching him everyday might be unsure , the same people who trusted Davies and holgate . Perhaps they believe to benefit his longterm career and as a result Everton a loan at a championship club might be just what he needs , I don't know . However it's not like we've had the lad play 15 games for Everton , do well and then find himself in this situation .
Surely we can only judge where we are going and what the plans are when we see the long term intentions and results ?
