Who Does KENNY Cut Loose, Given The Chance?

[aiyic]

Early days yet, as Kenny has said himself, but if he was appointed full-time, who do you think he would call into his office for that chat?

 

As apposed to who you think should be offed.

 

Kenny has a ruthless streak, that he delivers with a sugar-cube - he cares too much for this club to give a toss about reputation or profile.

 

There are the obvious choices - such as Konch - but are there more high profile players Kenny secretly thinks little of, or at the very least thinks are devisive, despite their talents? Torres even?

 

By my reckoning, I think Deadly-Dirk would high on the 'services no longer required' list. He's very similar (imho) to the the man he replaced all those years ago as a player - but nowhere near as inspirational, or cute. Takes too long to control the ball, costing valuable urgency in attack; the opposite of what Kenny stands for.

 

Glen is another I think Kenny doesn't rate. Far too much of a liability, despite his 'best LB in the country' tag.

 

And I don't think Skrtel would survive a Kenny-cull.

[Malarkey]

I thought this thread was about the Kenny Loggins hit; Footloose.

[Torvald Utne]

 

 

We shall see, I think you'll find there's another manager for you to be mystified at for his constant picking of kuyt.

Didn't he say that Glen was one of the star players at Liverpool recently?

[WaltonRed]

Poulsen and Konchesky would be a start.

 

I think the Greek will go if we bring someone in at CB because for me agger will be 1st choice under The King.

[Barrington Womble]

he also said roy hodgson was a good coach.

[WrongIslander]

If he doesn't sort his head out before the end of the seasonbthen dare I say .....

 

Torres

[Barrington Womble]

Poulsen and Konchesky would be a start.

konchesky's agent already trying to get him a move i think.

He rates Johnson. He said so the other day and it's in his book.

What do Kuyt's balls taste like?

[aiyic]

He rates Johnson. He said so the other day and it's in his book.

 

Maybe so, but as a defender? He either knows what to get him to focus on, or he would have in another position.

[mlwilliams]

Kuyt was chosen to take the armband when Stevie was sent off, not Reina, so I think Kenny holds him in high regard along with Torres as well after reading his comments. I think Konchesky might go along with Poulsen and Jovanovic.

Yeah, forgot about Jova.

[Pidge]

I'd like to think Kenny will spot that Jova is a striker and not a winger and give him a go accordingly.

[kalasoma]

I think the candiates for culling would be Konchesky, Jovanovic, Poulsen since they don't appear to add anything to the team or appear to offer any outstanding qualities as second string players. We're still waiting for Cole to do something, so I imagine he is on the cusp of the 'out' pile. Combined, I think all of those players would give us about 15MM towards a defensive player, but not enough for a striker to accompany Torres. Kuyt will probably be staying because he provides stability and will play anywhere for Kenny. But out of all the players I've mentioned, I guess we would get the most for him if he were traded. I wouldn't want to see him go.

[kalasoma]

Aquilani or Insua - they're still out on loan, but I don't think either will come back under Kenny, so add them to the list of outgoing players.

[G Richards]

I think Kenny will ease Carra toward the coaching side of things. He will still play but will not be in the first choice pairing once we sign a top CB.

 

If Torres wants to go, and/or he doesn't look like he will get back to his best, then Kenny will cut him loose. It will be clear, man to man, straight talking and professional.

 

Glen Johnson will either be sold or will prove his worth on the right wing, as I feel Kelly will become the regular right back (possibly future CB too).

 

Poulsen will be gone, as will Konchesky, but they are easy to predict.

 

We will probably sign a central midfielder of such quality that either one of Lucas/Meireles will be relegated to the bench.

 

Maxi and Cole will become bit part players and if either one will get us some decent money, or the wages off the books, then they will go too, especially as we have some young talent coming through.

[WrongIslander]

Mutts quality and his attitude is faultless but I believe my disgust at his involvement in an open pitch counter sums up why he will never be a winger.

 

"How the fuck can you let Gibbs catch you with a head start like that he's. 76!"

 

I completely understand he had to play there to neutralize a threatbut that's down to the fact we STILL don't have winters!

[The Acolyte]

he also said roy hodgson was a good coach.

 

For all we know Hodgson IS a good coach. But he's a shite manager. Big difference!

[WrongIslander]

Personally I send the message loud and clear. Cole, kuyt, maxi and babel out and 2 quality singers in.

 

Aquilani and meireles out and one class midfielder in.

 

Quality covered by youth players like Kelly who then become first team like Kelly. No more rejects, also Rand and has Bernstein either young unreal potential based around footballing ability like touch and skill with physical attributes taken into consideration but not the be all and end all aka more aguero less babel.

 

Less is more. United spent big but what they did was spend on who they believed were the best young players available then supplemented with youth where they could and loan/squadwhere they could.

 

Inspire the youth and le them know the only thing stopping them front being first team is them.

 

Lets see Pacheco, ecclestone amoo sterling etc fighting. Shelvey needs time but were doin right giving him his chance.

[WrongIslander]

Haha singers I meant swingers obviously. Stupid predictive text

Singers or swingers? You decide. :p

Kenny would no doubt be ruthless enough, despite allocating Kuyt the captain's armband post-Stevie last Sunday, to show Dirk the door.

 

Not sure whether you are comparing Kuyt with Keegan here, but the only similarity between the two is that there surnames start with K.

 

Keegan was on another planet in terms of class.

 

(And in calling Roy a good coach, I think Kenny proves he possesses sugar-cube diplomacy when required).
