Old Codger 3,064 Posted August 2, 2020 Share Posted August 2, 2020 From what I have heard, he has begun to really he is in the doorway of the well-known saloon and has realised that some of his "mates" weren't necessarily also his "friends" ....he is young enough to think he has a future and hopefully old enough to begin to learn life isn't all about being the big man,,,all up to him really....we could do worse...we very probably could do better...but if he delivered for a year or two while we signed someone for more money elsewhere in the team, I could live with that Link to post Share on other sites

Steve Cooper keen to sign an experienced centre-half. Story in today’s @TheSunFootball So Ayala isn't getting that big move that we had to hear about for weeks? I'm shocked. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Sounds like this is definitely more than Scottish paper talk now he reads as a main target specifically replacing Roberts. Going to be an interesting one I think he has the ability to make it but back in a home environment I'd worry about his focus. I like his directness on his Killie youtube clips. I think we were interested in him in Jan but a few people said he liked a drink. Hope he has settled down a bit. Link to post Share on other sites

To me that challenge in the Old Firm game suggests that deep down his attitude and mentality hasn't changed since he left Teesside. MFC tried to sort him out when he was here, in the end he had to move far away to get away from whatever or whoever it was that was supposedly being a bad influence on him. I just can't see him being a Warnock type player at all. Link to post Share on other sites
Uwe 3,545 Posted August 2, 2020 Share Posted August 2, 2020 Looking at the highlight reel he looks decent. But that’s what highlight reels are supposed to do. And remember it’s Scottish football and where as I admit Celtic, Rangers and Aberdeen are decent clubs the rest would make me look decent (well maybe not but you get my drift) He seemed to play mainly on the left so it could be a replacement to Johnson who as far as I know still hasn’t been given/signed a new contract. So the question is, is he better than Johnson or just cheaper? Link to post Share on other sites

It will be interesting to see how much control Warnock actually has. Asking him if he would prefer Jones or Johnson is still "control" but not exactly being in complete control. Time will tell but as long as Gibno et al are around I doubt Warnock has control. The Jones link worries me as he is linked every window. Link to post Share on other sites

If it was true "cost" then for me its a no brainer, when do we ever learn about bringing back ex players. After Ravel Morrison I would have thought the Club would be only too aware of Players with baggage. We need to keep focus in the coming season and can do without a distracting sideshow.

Weasel 966 Posted August 2, 2020 Share Posted August 2, 2020 (edited) Surely we can do better than Jordan Jones. What's this clubs obsession with local lads? Clearly hasn't worked recently has it. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Tom 2,492 Posted August 2, 2020 Share Posted August 2, 2020 I'm quite surprised there has been no announcement from the club either way about Friend and Johnson. I know contract talks can sometimes be quite protracted, but I would have thought that once Warnock was offered the contract that would have been his first order of business. On balance of probability, I expect both to stay, but as I say, I'm surprised it's not been sorted out already. Link to post Share on other sites
Johnmfc81 902 Posted August 2, 2020 Share Posted August 2, 2020 (edited) I'm sick of this can only go to players/staff with local connection ***. How many successful teams do that? Jordon Jones was moved on because he wasn't worth the hassle. He's been doing ok in a poor league for Killie, done nothing at Rangers. I know we find it hard to attract decent players due to our location, and if we aren't offering the financial incentives either it makes it harder still, but I'm sure there is better players out there than him.
