Gone Elsewhere Matthew Kilgallon (Would he come back?)

[Maidenhead]

Link??

I would if I knew how, it's in exiled Blades group

 

[YES Blade]

Just seen a picture of his car in the car park at BDTBL on Facebook.

From 2009?

That could be the worry but I'm pretty sure he had a range rover then, today's pic is a merc

 

[BusheyBlade]

It's a closed group so can't link.

Black Merc, reg KI6 LLA

Really hope we don't sign him. Would put Wilder's judgement as to the type of player we need in to huge doubt.

Would be a great signing.

Why? Interested to hear your opinions.....

A centre back with experience who knows what it means to play for the shirt of this club?

How is that not what we need?

The only downside I can see, is that hes 32 but thats neither here nor there.

Hes 6" 2
A centre back
Has tons of experience, entire career in leagues above this one (Even has champions league experience..... )

If we get him I wont be unhappy. Just need someone to partner him now.... come on McFadz

Yeah I posted that before I'd seen the photo

He's a centre back, we don't have any, it's a start!

I didn't rate him too highly when he was here, never mind 6 years on. He's past it.

And you're using that as the basis on which to sign a player?

I'm afraid ability is quite important too. He's exactly the opposite of the type of player we need to be after. So sick of being linked with past it's, former players, and championship rejects.

Not essential but he's also left footed. Adds to the balance Wilder is looking for in his partnerships

 

[Ricky]

If we're signing a 32 year old centre back I'd rather it not be somebody who relied on pace and isn't a leader.

 

[blades78]

Don't understand why people are against signing him. He's an improvement on Collins, Edgar and Mceveley

I'm saying they're significant attributes to the type of side Wilder wants to build here, not the sole basis. Of course ability is important.

I've no qualms with past players or 'championship rejects' if they still have some gas in the tank. I can't claim to have seen Killa recently, but Wilder must believe there's something in him if he is indeed signing.

My wheelie bin is an improvement on them three.
(I would be OK with Kilgallon)

 

[David Lee's first touch]

Should he sign, it'll be great fun watching the forum police chase off those who call him Kilgannon..

Good call sir. See meet the manager thread spot on.

He was an excellent player when he was with us last time - he won the player of the year whilst with us too!

I saw him a few times last season at a few Blackburn matches and he looked a very accomplished, solid, Championship defender.

If we get him, on our new wage structure, then I'd be very happy.

Many people were saying similar things to me when Hammond signed.

Hope you're not going to be eating your words, but I suspect you will be.

No one said similar things to Hammond, he hadn't played for Leicester for a long time, so how could they have seen him in regular action to make an assessment?

Matthew Kilgallon - wasn't that good when he was with us, but still won player of the year! Love it.

I rated Killa last time he was here...all depends on the age/fitness issue...could be just what we need as part of three new CB signings or as Barney just said could be a Hammond...I'll trust Wilder on this one if true

90% of fans rated him, because he was a damn good centre back for us.

Indeed he was...hopefully he's still got more than enough for L1 this season.
UTB!

I made the comparison with Hammond in that the vast majority thought he'd be a good signing, and when I tried to explain to them that he wouldn't be, I was met with a similar stream of vitriol.

Without knowing what constraints Wilder is working too this would be, IMHO a decent signing.You cutting the manager some slack lasted less than 2 hours well done

You also said the same when Adkins signed Baptiste...
