chris killen

arite troops im just thinking it is a shame killen is apparently transfer listed.the guy has never been given the chance hes a good player i think his last game was benfica away he played well.do you think we should give another chance to see what he can do

 

I think he should move for his own sake. I can't see him getting a regular game with Celtic next season. He's a decent player and will do well maybe in the Championship or back at Hibs.

 

No point really, he's done ok but isnt what we need.
I wish him all the best!

 

hye has had more chances than riorden and he scored 1 goal. not good enough

 

I think Strachan would like to see him stay as a decent back-up player but it all depends on the ambitions of the player. If he wants to improve as a player he will want to move on, and if he did then i can't see Strachan bending over backwards to keep him. The thing i don't like tho is that if he did leave he will always be seen by our fans as being a flop and will be tarred with the same brush as the likes of Scheidt, Blinker, Bratbaak etc. Waste of ours and his time signing him in the first place if that's the way it goes.

 

I'd sell him.We could get about 500K for him and all he's doing now is taking up a place in the squad that can be filled by Hutchinson,McGowan or Sheridan.

 

was good at hibs and scored goals but was never really gonna be better at helleslink at his job and he couldnt play with him

 

the guy has some good qualities like good touch and an ability to link in tight situations which I remember WGS commented on. His problem is he is far too slow. He might have been OK if we were hitting the byeline and crossing but he is limited when the ball comes to him deep. There was some story that he had some kind of lingering injury problem that wouldnt sort itslef out for a year when he signed. Something about major pain and use of painkillers so he may be better than he looks at present (he looked better with Hibs). However, JVOH is clearly better and I think Sheridan will break through this year if we dont sign a new striker.

 

That woudl actually be an exciting frontline if fans were willing to be patient. Sheridan is like a young Sutton, McGowan reminds me of Maloney and Hutchinson looks a bit like a speedier Skippy. I think they have the basic talent to be better than our first team players but lack much experience.

 

Think killen would be better of going to another club i just cant see him getting into the first team and jvoh is far superior.

 

Killen is the most injury prone player on our books - we need to get him loff the wage bill and cash in now while we might get a reasonable transfer fee.

 

he is def a goalscorer but if you cant keep him fit theres no point keeping him. good luck to him wherever he goes

 

He should be moved on

Turns as quickly as a people carrier and when he does get on looks disinterested.

 

Looking at it from another point of view I wouldn't mind seeing McGowan and possibly Sheridan loaned out to somewhere like Falkirk or Hamilton.If that happened I would keep Killen around because you need 5 strikers at a club just in case of an injury crisis.Maybe Killen will be better this season becasue his Achilles has fully healed.

I don't know why we don't utilise the loan system more.A few players get loaned to the 1st and 2nd division but not many.Is it a case of the players just not being good enough to get games at SPL level?If that's true the we might as well just release them now.

 

I have no problem with Chris Killen. He was a good backup to VOH and we needed one after all the injury problems VOH had last season. But now Cillian Sheridan is back fit again so it could well be time for Killen to be sold. He is a decent player but not good enough I don't think to be a featured striker for Celtic.

 

I'd let him go for his own sake at this point. Especially since it looks like Strachan is very keen to sign another striker this Summer. I don't think he was a "flop", just isn't good enough to really push JVoH.

 

Never rated him, and everyone knew at best he'd be on the bench when he signed. Better of for him to go, we have better players in the reserve/youth. I rather have players like Sheridan or Hutchison coming off the bench than Killen. In my opinion he does not offer enough up front.

 

he is a good player mate ,but it seems to me he wasnt giving a run in the first team ,which you need ,there is better players in front of him in the pecking order and when one of them is out threw injury ,killen would come in for probaly only one game ,you cant judge a player when the conditions are like that ,i would move anyway ,its been a waste of time for him and he will do a job elsewere

 

I was going to describe Killen as a LUMP OF WOOD.


But the i though, NO that's disrespectful.........................




































to the lump of wood. :bbpd:

 

no mater what anyone says if hes good or not celtic got him for nowt and will sell him on for a fee good bit of business half a milion in our teams back pocket but the one goal he did score for us helped win the league he doesnt score against gretna who knows could have been another 3 points droped so for everyone who slags him the guys a CHAMPION with the bhoys! 3 in a row 7 to go!
