Emne: EX-SPILLER: Neil Kilkenny

[AndyMathie]

Kilkenny er en fantastisk fotballspiller til tider, men er utrolig veik og til tider litt lat når du ser på Snodgrass og Howson arbeidsinnsats til sammenligning. Uansett så må vi nok bytte ut både Johnson og Kilkenny med bedre ballspillere om vi ønsker å fortsette vår progresjon:)

Slipper vi å sende denne mannen til Asia Cup? Har ikke lest noe særlig om at han er aktuell for Australia-troppen, endelig uttak er 28. desember.

Kilkenny next target for Leeds United deal
6:40am Tuesday 21st December 2010

Leeds are hoping Neil Kilkenny will follow Luciano Becchio’s example by signing a new contract.

Top scorer Becchio agreed a new three-and-a-half-year deal at the weekend but talks with Australian midfield international Kilkenny, 25, have so far stalled.

Kilkenny has figured in all but two of United’s 24 matches in all competitions this season but he could be missing for much of January.

He has been named in Australia’s provisional squad for the Asian Cup, which starts on January 7 in Qatar and is due to finish at the end of the month.

Meanwhile, Leeds are still prepared to listen to offers for midfielder Bradley Johnson, who looks set to be sold during the transfer window after rejecting the club’s final offer of a new contract.

LUFC Mixed emotions for Kilkenny
Neil Kilkenny has mixed emotions about his call up to the Australian squad for their Asian Cup participation in January.

Kilkenny has been included in the provisional 50-man squad for the tournament and he will find out on the 28th December whether he will be part of the 23-man squad travelling to Qatar.

The midfielder is delighted with the call up but is desperate to play against his first club Arsenal in the FA Cup.

The tournament is due to start the day before the clash at Arsenal in the FA Cup, meaning he would miss out if making the final squad.

Speaking in the YEP, Kilkenny said, 'It's (Arsenal) a special one for me, although I don't know if I'll be playing yet because I may be going away with Australia. So I don't know yet.

'It would be a choker to miss that but, at the end of the day, it's an honour to represent my country. But obviously I want to play for Leeds as well.'

If he does make the cut then Kilkenny could be missing for most of January with the tournament running from January 7th - 29th.

Despite being born in Enfield, England, Kilkenny chose to represent Australia after spending most of his childhood there.

The 25 year old has represented Australia on two occasions since making his debut in the summer of 2006 against Liechtenstein.

He`s also represented Australia in the Olympics when he made one appearance during the 2008 Olympics in Beijing.

LUFC Kilkenny hoping to stay
Neil Kilkenny wants to be the next Leeds player to put pen to paper and sign a new deal at Elland Road.

The Australian international is keen to follow in the footsteps of Luciano Becchio who signed a new deal at the weekend.

Kilkenny is out of contract in the summer after signing a two and a half year deal when he joined the club in January 2008.

Speaking in the YEP, Kilkenny said, 'I really want to stay here and feel honoured to play for the club.
'I want to let that be known. I've enjoyed my time here and feel that I've played regularly over the past three years.
'I've made nearly 150 appearances for the club now and that's really a very good record over three seasons.
'Hopefully, the club can sort something out.'

The 25 year old has played in all but two of Leeds games this season and helped them rise to second in the table with some good performances in recent weeks.

Simon Grayson has a busy period ahead with a number of players out of contract in the summer.

Bradley Johnson as already turned down the offer of a new deal and as been placed on the transfer list, whilst fans favourite Luciano Becchio signed a new three and a half year deal at Elland Road.

Rykter:

Forgive me for not wasting my christmas day sifting through waccoe to see if this is old news but midfield playmaker/ overweight shitbag (delete as appropriate) Neil Kilkenny is leaving us for 5 weeks to play for Oz. I know he was included in the provisional 50 or whatever but he's now booked on so its either good or bad news depending on your point of view....

LUFC Kilkenny to miss most of January

Neil Kilkenny will miss most of January after being included in the 23 man squad named by Australia for the Asia Cup in Qatar.

The competition runs from January 7th - January 29th, meaning Kilkenny could face the possibility of missing four games.

Kilkenny will only actually miss two league games due to the FA Cup during the month.

Kilkenny will be slightly disappointed, as he will now miss the chance to face his first club Arsenal in the FA Cup third round on January 8th.

The last time Kilkenny represented Australia was in 2008 when he represented his country in the Beijing Olympics.

Hyggelig at vi får frem landslagsspillere, trist at Killa blir borte i tre uker. Ser for meg at Clayton returnerer fra lånet i Peterborough og vil bli en het mann i førsteellevers-diskusjonen. Vil Morrison tilbys kontrakt mon tro? Ikke umulig at han får en kortidskontrakt alla Faye og Nunez.

[Per-Stian]

Dette er veldig kjekt for Kilkenny! Faye er nok den som per dags dato er mest nærliggande å erstatte Kilkenny (gitt ny kontrakt), men både Clayton og forhåpentlegvis Morrison kan overraske. Eg ser helst at vi hentar inn Henri Lansbury (Arsenal) eller tilsvarande talent frå Premier League på lån i denne perioden.

Bare å gratulere Kilkenny, men samtidig et litt dårlig tidspunkt å miste han på..

Tidspunktet vil vel alltid være dårlig, men det er ikke så ille likevel. Går bare glipp av to ligakamper. Og Arsenal-kampen da, men den kommer i andre rekke.

Tror det blir vanskelig uten Kilkenny

[testo]

Tydligvis så er det harde forhandlinger om hver kontrakt i gangene på Elland Road om dagen.
Kilkenny bør vi få inn i ny kontrakt for dette er en spiller som blir bedre og bedre med oppgavene sine.
At han legger igjen visittkortet i det Australske lanslaget er heller ikke negativt mtp erfaring og utvikling han får med seg og ved et evnt senere salg.

Former Australian international Lazaridis played with Kilkenny between 2005 and 2006 while both men were on the books at St Andrews and the retired defender said the Socceroos would benefit from Kilkenny's "real good footballing brain" as they bid to lift the Asian Cup on January 29.

"I was pleased to see his name in there," said Lazaridis. "He's a very skilful, delicate type of player and has a good footballing brain.

"He will add something a bit different and could be a bit of an X-factor."



Kilkenny's impending departure from England is set to delay a decision over his long-term future at Elland Road.

The 25-year-old is six months away from the end of his existing contract with Leeds and negotiations with the club have failed to yield a deal over an extension to his terms.

Speaking last week, Kilkenny said: "I really want to stay here and feel honoured to play for the club.

"I want to let that be known. I've enjoyed my time here and feel that I've played regularly over the past three years.

"I've made nearly 150 appearances for the club and that's a very good record over three seasons.

"Hopefully the club can sort something out."

Ser ut som Kilkenny forsvinner når sesongen er over.

Tolker det som at Leeds må legge mer penger på bordet for at han skal signere ny kontrakt.
Blir spennende å se hva som skjer.

Eg spyr....

[fjellhaugen]

brads all over again?

[jarle]

Hvorfor lar klubben det gå så nær slutten på kontraktene før de forhandler.

Det legger makten over til spilleren som ikke er dummere en at han vet han får en sign on fee om han bytter klubb.

Ikke skyld på spilleren.
Dette er et spill hvor klubben ønsker lavest mulig kost og spilleren selvsagt ønsker høyere betaling...

Enig med deg, jarle.

Når det gjelder grunnen til hvorfor det har gått såpass tett inntil kontraktsslutt for flere spillere, er nok opprykk fra L1 den største. Det gav selvsagt helt andre rammer for forhandlingene, enn videre spill i League One ville gjort - antakelig ville det også vært langt verre å holde på Becchio og Kilkenny.

Forhandlingene ble vel innledet i høst en gang, så mangel på progresjon er bekymringsverdig. Bradley er greit; han ønsker mer enn Leeds vil tilby, men vi vet heller ikke hva som ligger bak i Kilkennys tilfelle. Lønn er selvsagt det nærliggende å tro at det forhandles over, men det kan være at klubb og spiller har blitt enig om å forhandle senere, f.eks. etter Asia-turneringen. Så vidt jeg vet kan ingen engelske klubber hente Kilkenny på førkontrakt.

Håper Kilkenny signerer en ny kontrakt og gleder meg til å se han tilbake i laget, slik at Howson igjen kan flyttes frem i posisjonen han er best.
