a f kincaid Posted June 26, 2019 Report Share Posted June 26, 2019 Time will tell. McDonald was a pleasant surprise (even if he was the exception rather than the rule) but this is the sort of signing that must demoralise young players trying to make their way in the game.

And Doolan wasn’t here to pick up a wage either or did he work for free? i would guess Doolan was on a decent wage and last season we were getting nowhere near value for money from him whether we will from miller remains to be seen Edited June 26, 2019 by Third Lanark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We only have 1 young striker signed who most likely is pleased for a couple of things - first he learned from McDonald so May think he can learn from miller second mansell currently is the only striker signed he maybe relieved that there is another striker signed for him to work with Edited June 26, 2019 by Third Lanark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ARu-Strathbungo Posted June 26, 2019 Report Share Posted June 26, 2019 This is not the signing I was hoping for, but perhaps KM can do a job for the first half of the season, and maybe also help Mansell? I only hope we can find the 15 goals a season striker we need between now and the winter window …. mind you that is a big, big ask!! I worry now that his attitude may upset the good team spirit that appears to exist currently within the dressing room. His cantankerous nature is not something I was aware of until it was commented on a few months ago on this forum, I only hope his poor attitude was overstated. Last week I was really looking forward to the start of the season …. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paddy Thistle Posted June 26, 2019 Report Share Posted June 26, 2019 I have always like Kenny Miller as a player will always burst a gut for the team , that attitude has never changed with him , I think he will be good for the Likes of Mansell who will benefit from his experience 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He might gurn when things don't go his way but he gets on with things. Some of the baseless comments on his character are bizarre. You don't score nearly 300 goals over 800 games by having a bad attitude. Over 60 caps and 18 goals for the national team too. Also jibes about his age from folk who couldn't run for the bus in all likelihood are quite frankly laughable. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyMac Posted June 26, 2019 Report Share Posted June 26, 2019 I remember seeing Frank Worthington playing as a striker aged 40, he was still an excellent player and prolific goal scorer. Don't write someone off just because of their age. Kenny Miller is a quality player. Has he a bad attitude? I don't know, but I doubt it. He might get frustrated, not be prepared to suffer fools etc,. We shall just have to wait and see. He should be applauded for keeping himself fit enough to be playing into his 40's. I would be more concerned with signing a waster of a player aged 30 who was blowing out his arse and dragging the whole thing down. Miller, will not only be able to show the younger players a thing or two, he should also be able to inspire a few of the older players, who are starting to believe that they're automatically washed up as they hit 30. Nevertheless, if we end up with a Dad's Army squad, that's a different matter, but I don't see any problem with having a few well motivated, fit, quality older players thrown into the mix.

The Firhill Dungeon Keeper Posted June 26, 2019 Report Share Posted June 26, 2019 I consider it to be a good reflection on the club that he came to us giving up (possible) Premier League wages at Dens. He must see something about us that makes him want to play the final chapter of his career at Firhill. Maybe he thinks Dundee’s ship is sinking faster than ours but nonetheless, every professional player wants to go out on a high and he thinks he can do this at Thistle. I don’t know what kind of relationship he has with GC but I don’t buy into old pals act theories. These are two professionals who will want to do the best they can. I see value in him coming to Firhill. His age concerns me slightly but I imagine his appointment will be as much off field related as it is on field. Welcome to the club Kenny and good luck! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dibble Posted June 26, 2019 Report Share Posted June 26, 2019 Don’t really care about how many goals he scores or whether Doolan scores more. If he helps the team finish top 4 then it will have been a success. Good signing in my opinion. Given he’s moving down a league im in no doubt he will perform well for us. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jim slavin's lunchbox Posted June 26, 2019 Report Share Posted June 26, 2019 Will Kenny Miller be a success? Only time will tell. What is tiring is the moaning about not offering Doolan a contract at 32 and signing Miller at 39. Doolan was not released because of his age. He was released because he couldn’t do what our manager wants him to do. Will he score goals for Ayr? He will probably score most of his goals against us if Football history tells us anything. Will we finish above Ayr despite this? I think so. Miller has a track record of doing what our manager wants. From what I have read (admittedly could be fake news) Miller has always looked after himself really well. Let’s look at the positives.

Harrybriscoe Posted June 26, 2019 Report Share Posted June 26, 2019 Welcome to Firhill Kenny ! I can't believe the negativity of some fans on this forum. He may be getting on in years but has kept himself at a good fitness level. I think he'll do a similar job to Scott McDonald , i.e., having the experience to nick us goals here and there and coaching our youngsters. Things brewing nicely for the new season. Mon' Jags!

allyo Posted June 26, 2019 Report Share Posted June 26, 2019 Could be good, could be schyte. Same as every other signing. Forum was far more excited about Coulibally than McDonald. Says it all. Welcome to Firhill Kenny. Just coz you've played for them both doesn't make you a bad person. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
West of Scotland Posted June 26, 2019 Report Share Posted June 26, 2019 Cannot believe people can compare Miller to either Doolan or McDonald in terms of fitness, commitment, goalscoring ability, and every other effing thing. Let's bring in any ******** mercenaries so long as we finish top four, though, even if it means we're nothing but an Old Firm retirement home living from season to season.

Lenziejag Posted June 26, 2019 Report Share Posted June 26, 2019 I really don’t get this hatred of Old Firm players coming here - usually wrapped up in terms like wage thief, mercenary, retirement home. I don’t remember this kind of terminology when we signed Anderson(albeit on loan) or Bell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Dan Posted June 26, 2019 Report Share Posted June 26, 2019 I cannot say that I am overwhelmed with joy over his signing, but welcome Kenny. Every player should be given the opportunity to show what he can contribute to us before we pass judgement on his current ability. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
