bluenoz 30,832 Posted July 9, 2019 Author Share Posted July 9, 2019 6-1 Kelly hat trick. I think this boy is ready. Malvern, 16BlueSherbert90 and cstamomusa 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RDB14 2,760 Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 Kelly was utterly class in Hong Kong. Scored a peach of a free kick and dictated play. He wasn't as flashy as Mcpake but he honestly reminded me of a young Barry Ferguson. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a bright young prospect, mate, but there is no chance of getting into the senior squad on a regular basis (unless it's for League Cup squads at times.) We have 9-10 midfielders who are pushing for 3-4 places as it is: Jack, Davis, Ojo, Halliday, Aribo, Kamara, Candeias, Jones, Docherty, Arfield, so the wee man might have to go out on loan for a year.

I understand that. His only option is a loan at a senior level, he has outgrown youthful players around him. I would say he is currently better than one maybe two of out current midfielders but no point starting that debate. He reminds me of a young BF who was getting a game at his age.

Klos' Glove 260 Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 We should send him to Ayr as a GIRUY to Dundee Utd. They'd surely want him if he just put 3 past them Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no doubt the kid's got talent and has all the attributes to make an outstanding attacking midfielder, so it will be interesting to see what Gerrard has in mind for him. I'm personally in favour of sending him to a decent senior club that will test him out. bluenoz 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

magic8ball 27,901 Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 Lots of potentially great youngsters chipping away just now. To get them to the next level and regular first team players we need to find a way of getting them in there. Within a couple of years these guys will be better than what we already have playing.

Blumhoilann 6,712 Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 Give him a run out v St Joes in the 2nd leg and go from there. Good to see Murphy got thru the game unscathed. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluetruth 1 Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 I have said before Young Stephen Kelly has been the best player in the reserves for the last two years I can’t believe he wasn’t given a run out in our 1st team friendlies I agree not a flashy as Dapo or McPake but a technically gifted player who can control a game of football and obviously score a cracking free kick .

bluenoz 30,832 Posted July 10, 2019 Author Share Posted July 10, 2019 It's still early days to judge but if Murphy come back to the player he was, he is an upgrade on Jones & Stewart and that is not me having a go at those players Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheCutch 4,340 Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 I think if Kelly was in the managers plans for any sort of look at the first team this season, then he would have been over in Portugal. Think a loan would be best for him now as he has definitely outgrown the reserves. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
