His injury record will probably put a lot of teams off, chances are that he probably stays now MacKay is away for the season anyway.Quote:

There’s a random post on Twitter linking us with Joel Valencia on loan from Brentford - Ecuadorean winger/striker.
He won the Polish top flight with Piast Gliwice in 18/19 and won the leagues player of the year award. Then went to Brentford for a reported fee of £1.8 million. Multiple sub appearances but he was behind Benrahma, Watkins and Mbuemo. Hasn’t really settled in England and although being named in Brentford’s 25 man PL squad he has only made a few appearances for their B team.Quote:

It's an Equadorian account with over 12,000 followers.Quote:

A few likes or retweets but hardly any comments. I don’t know what that means but it doesn’t strike me as a particularly credible source.
Alternatively it's a random thing to make up.Quote:

Had a look at recent involvement. There isn’t much. If we are letting players go on loan we need to be replacing them with better.Quote:

I just hope our management team is as unreasonable as I am.
We do. Maybe a loan deal until Mackay comes back in the summer.Quote:

Well, Maloney may have said to Mackay he can't guarantee him much game time this season so Mackay may have wanted to go on loan to get games under his belt, and in turn we are looking at someone to fill that void in the squad for the rest of the year.
Makes sense to me...
I don’t think we need to replace McKay.
He’s not feature this season and we’ve probably got two forwards in this window who can play across that front three as it is. Plus I think Henderson will play from the left of that three.
Loaning Mackay out makes perfect sense. He needs regular games after his injury and he'd be unlikely to get that here between now and the summer. Good player though. Will be a regular for a side who will be winning and attacking teams most weeks at Killie. Perfect loan on paper.Quote:

I didn't think McKay looked ready and his injury will have done him no favours on that front.
He did well enough last season (by all accounts) to suggest he can go to Killie, get a game and make an impact there for a club who should be playing on the front foot in order to get up.
I think that is a good move for all parties.
He'll not improve sitting on the periphery of our squad and he can come back in the summer ready for a fresh start.
I agree. The only thing I’d say is that our bench has been hopeless for most of the season. Very few game changers can come on if we’re struggling.Quote:

Personally don’t really fancy another loan.
I also don’t want to replace Dan Mackay if we thought he wasn’t going to get many games.
If we bring someone in, I want them competing for a space in the starting 11 and not coming in as back up.
The only thing that worries me about our current signings is I’m not sure how many of them are starters for us and dislodge our players who have already played this season.
We need quality and whilst they new guys might be, I don’t have a clue because I’ve never seen some of them play, they’re young guys and some from different leagues so might need a settling in period - but the majority haven’t played alot of football.
Maybe we’re signing a fatty.Quote:

They have a squad of 31 which is similar to us. That's a bloated squad for a championship team.l
