Beauchief Owl Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 Love Kieran Lee but if he gets another knee or hip injury you have to ask how long he would be out for, probably months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james o connor Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 Good player and I hope he comes through any involvement unscathed . 31 year olds with Gammy hips are a no no moving forward . Thanks for your efforts Keiran but of deffo time to move on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for your efforts Keiran but of deffo time to move on With a freakishly good engine...bags of talent and the fact (due to his own bravery) that he's never let us down... I think a bit of compassion should temper your pragmatism....in this particular instance. But I agree with your general point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He might, might be involved tomorrow. Be good to see him around that’s for sure. He’s been training two or three weeks. He’s had two chunk of football with the U23’s. For him personally to be involved must be fantastic. I’ve seen him on the training ground and he’s a very good player. The supporters will be delighted. And so will the supporters. He’s pain free. I’m delighted for him. Two weeks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's been out a while obviously, but there is no reason he can't be fit and ready to go by August if he's not far off the match day squad now. If he gets back to 90% of the player he was he'd still be the best player at the club. We have missed him massively. And to replace him would cost millions. For me he's worth a year extension even if it's on 25k (allegedly) a week. To replace him would cost at least that in wages then probably 6 million in a fee. No brainer if he's approaching any kind of decent level of fitness. Cant afford to pay that to him if ever can’t play / would have to be up to him to take some sort of structured deal based on appearances etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keiran Lee will be given a contract by someone. And as far as I'm concerned it better be us. I'm not going to argue the ability of Keiran Lee to press or be fit, as that is also utterly ridiculous. Its what he is. He is not in pain. End of story. Give him a chance ffs. If there is anyone who deserves it it's him. Give him a chance? Emotional nonsense. We cannot give players that have been out for 2 years a new contract. Its financial suicide and we have had bucket loads of that in the last 3 years - Unless we like throwing away even more money. Ridiculous to even consider a new contract. We need to move on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ridiculous to even consider a new contract. We need to move on. On the flip side, we’d be mad not to take our time and let medical professionals judge his fitness over the summer. We’re still severely hampered by FFP so of course we’d be silly to waste money on an injured player. We’d also be silly not to fully consider whether we might be able to (re)sign one of the best midfielders in the league on essentially a free transfer. Take emotion out of it for sure but be pragmatic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it just follows a mindless trend on here for binning everyone and starting from scratch as if that is somehow the superior option. It isn't. Lee is brilliant. He Isn't on big money. He is no longer injured. Someone will sign him and it will be a top end champ side if it isn't us. Edited April 27, 2019 by Beholder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gresh Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 Time to let go as too injury prone now. A farewell game next week to say goodbye to the fans. Thanks for the memories Kieran. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stop talking nonsense. He will be 31 in June. It would be almost impossible to be the same player that he was 2-3 years ago. Very rare for any player to regain that edge and fitness after so long. Mentally it is very tough to come back. In the back of his mind (even subconsciously) he will wonder about every 50/50 challenge. A 31 years olds leg and engine start to decline between 29-31. Its just not worth wasting our time and money. Find other up and coming players instead. There is always and will always be someone else to become a hero.

Suzuki_San Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 He was mint today. Crisp passes and a great cross that deserved a goal, drew a foul. Didn't shirk at all.

Bluesteel Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 Lee won’t earn what he did after being out that long. If he doesn’t have many offers it would be worth offering him something that suits us. Perhaps incentivised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
