chilledbear 16 Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 Anyone know what the score is with his contract? Gunslinger had him away last week, what did you hear mate? We must do all we can to keep him at Ibrox, even if it's just till we can get good money for him in a couple of years. They say Moyes is interested, Everton just paid £200k for a young lad from Killie. I think we should be looking at Killies youth coaches, as Barrie came from them as well. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
the gunslinger 3,366 Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 he's got 9 months left I believe and there's a lot of interest.p hopefully he will stay he's got a gray chance to develop here. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy steel 0 Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 This a bit man-lovey, but I can't get enough of the way McKay moves. He just glides over the pitch. At 17, to have effortless athleticism on your side is a huge bonus; it gets him space, gives him time. And playing against knackered defences, like yesterday when he came on, means he can have that bit extra time to pick out a pass. The only question is, will he continue to develop, and I can see no reason why not. Whether it's with us, of course... 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
der Berliner 3,263 Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 By the looks of it, he's a right-sided attacking player. As long as there was need, McCoist used him in every game. Now that we have options across the front-line, I think the gaffer will try to avoid another Fleck scenario and use Little on that side of midfield and bring McKay on as a sub more often than starting him. He and templeton are the flair players like Aluko who can spark the crowd and the team on. We should make sure that we have them as long with us as possible. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

the gunslinger 3,366 Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 we have this policy of giving youths 1 year deals. its what cost us mcgeoch and it may cost us again. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darthter 542 Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 I think McKay will mostly feature as a sub.... The lad has a lot of pace & a willingness/desire to run at defences. If brought on later on in the game when the opposition are tiring, he has the ability to cause all sorts of mischief. It is good for McCoist to have several options in attack - allows for some rotation and altering of game play. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeardyGuts 6 Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 Looks a really big talen tfrom what i have seen of him so far. Really hope we don't lose him this is the sort of player we need to keep around. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tumshie RFC 0 Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 Want him signed up to a three of four year deal. In saying that lets hope McKay has his head screwed on. He's playing at a huge club and getting regular first team football. We have seen too many young Scottish players leave Scotland are never heard from again. Best example of that being Danny Wilson. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
amms 0 Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 The disparity in financial resources between Scotland and England is something we better get used too. We've lost Danny Wilson and I'd add Rhys McCabe to that now too, Celtic lost that boy Islam Feruz, Dundee Utd lost Scott Allan, Aberdeen lost Fraser Fyvie and Kilmarnock lost Matthew Kennedy last week too. The thinking in England just now is to bring in promising young players in their teens rather than wait for them to mature elsewhere. I'm not sure it's the right idea but the problem for us is they can afford too take the chance, indeed it's really no gamble at all for them. It wouldn't surprise me if McKay doesn't sign another contract, that's not a reflection on him, I know nothing about him, just my take on the footballing economy these days. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
