Johnny Kenny

Should have arguably got a bit more time this season, get him a few more goals and pave the way for a decent loan. Fingers crossed we can make something happen in the window.

 

Decent cameo. He made that chance for himself, even if the angle was against him.

 

I really like the look of him. He's quick and instinctive. He moved around far more in the time he was on than Idah did.

 

Don't think he's anywhere near the level required but he did well a couple of times today.

 

Can you elaborate on that because I see more movement and football with him than I do with Idah.

 

I think he looks lively and is an alright finisher (from the clips I've seen of him) but he lacks the necessary quality to be a regular option for us. I think he is weak and his decision making is poor.

 

Type of striker that would be great in Europe, quick and strong plus looks to have good movement.

 

Brilliant turn of pace, looking forward to seeing more

 

Would be more than happy for him to stay as 3rd choice striker and let him fight his way in to the team.

Much quicker than I expected and quite physical

 

He needs to go and play and isn't good enough to get starts here moving forward..

The way he left Gogic for dead was impressive. He's deffo rapid..

 

I wouldn't be against loaning him out until January and seeing where he is at the end of that.

Still only 21 and I do think he has something about him. Albeit with only a year left on his contract I do think he likely leaves.

 

The age is a big thing for me. The stuff people are saying about him now at 21 (quick but raw and sometimes makes the wrong decisions) are the same things people said about Maeda when he was 24/25. He's probably on * all wages too. I'd definitely be against selling him at this stage, I hope he either gets a loan or more game time next season

 

Prefer him to Idah which is something I never thought I'd be saying.

Defo something there.

 

Kenny has also caught Rodgers’ eye since returning from two years on loan at Shamrock Rovers.

Having netted on his full debut last week in Aberdeen, Rodgers will decide this summer whether to seek another loan move for Kenny or retain him with the Celtic first team.

"We'll see what pre-season brings for him," said Rodgers. "We just have to assess everything and where he's at.

"He’s still a young player. He's 21. From where he'd come from, he's shown up very, very well.

"There's always the balance between being a part of the squad, or whether you think it's best for them to go out and play every single week."

 

Imo....Kenny is a really exciting prospect and hopefully goes up a level in pre season.

 

I agree about him. But I think he’s good enough that we will rather have him as a just incase 4th/5th choice if we need to play him to not allow him to go out another loan and develop. I really like him, he’s rapid, good link up, good instincts in the box, strong… he is a real all round striker. We won’t play him enough to develop that, but I don’t think we’ll allow him out now we’ve seen him 6 months played him a couple times and know he can be relied upon

 

Think all of our loans should be to teams who try to dominate possesion etc. Where possible of course

 

If we do loan him out,I think he will snapped up by a dominant Championship side down south.
