Kennedy targets new deal
           


CALLUM Kennedy expects to sit down with the Swindon Town hierarchy to discuss his future with the club this week, and the left-back is desperate to secure himself a new deal at the County Ground.

If, as I hope, that we sign McEveley he will be first choice at left back.

That would mean that either Kennedy or Cibbo would be the back-up.

Interesting that Cibbo wasn't at the CG yesterday and now we get this story.

Wonder if it's a coincidence?

Cibo has quite a nasty injury I heard.

I'd be very surprised if he's still here next season, even as a squad player.

We dont need 3 left-backs so if Mc is signing we dont need Kennedy.

I'd rather we kept Kennedy as understudy but some of the contracts are a pain. Easy to say in hindsight but too many 2 year deals given out last summer. Stuck with a lot of dross.

Cibbo wont play again for a long time.

We'll need a third left back.

Not bothered to be honest if he stays or goes. Has progressed but not enough to be a major player. Wages won't be high but i think the board aint afraid to splash the cash.

Think he will stay as cheap and adequate cover.As for the dross players they really are not on massive money i imagaine

As much as I like Kennedy, Cibo is a better option in my opinion.

The big "if" here has to be Cibo's injury.
If he's going to be injured into next season, Kennedy might well be a good option as cover.
However, if Cibo is going to be fit for the start of the season, do we need double cover?

Looking at his injury record i wouldn't want to risk cibo as our only cover tbh.

Kennedy was a bit of a mixed bag for me. Looked very good against Huddersfield, less good in other games.

If he was 19-20 I think we'd keep him. At 23 its less clear cut. Good point from DRS though.

There's 2 of us. I'd keep him for another year.

I think he's decent(great delivery at times) but not sure he's good enough for the next level

Decent enough, cheap backup... I'd keep him, but if McEveley got a proper long term injury I'd dip into the loan market

Id release him and Cibbochi and get Ridehalgh.

Nice thought but Ridehalgh isn't going to come just to be a back up.

Kennedy would do just fine.

Not entirely convinced by Kennedy if i'm honest. He seems to be very average most of the time with a few very good performances to make you think that something is there. He has put in some brilliant performances such as Huddersfield at home & some woeful one's, Crewe away springs to mind. I want him to be good, but a distinctly average L2 left-back in my opinion, weak and constantly hoofs the ball and to be honest I cant really think of any one area he excels in.

Not knocking the guy totally, fair play to him for coming through the system and playing a fair few games, but IMO is the worst of our three left backs and would struggle with the step up. Not against having him as back up though as long as he remains on his current wages, or relatively low wages.

Keep all 3 and sign Ridehalgh too, perhaps sign Jamie Vincent for cover just in case all 4 get injured. You can never have too many left backs.
