Yeah makes sense to loan him given he's clearly not considered a viable alternative to Vicario. We paid a fair bit for him given he's a backup keeper and he's just gonna stagnate on the bench.
Clearly a talented keeper but if we ever want him to turn into a legit first-team option he needs consistent minutes somewhere. Use Austin as backup or get some old geezer in on peanuts, and then loan out Kinsky for a while. Maybe by the time he comes back he'll be a first-team level keeper
Presume
Guess if Vicario plays tomorrow it means Kinsky is out the door before month end. Think a loan and minutes will do him good. Frank clearly doesn’t rate him so he may as well get some game time
Agree - he’s talented but way too young and inexperienced
Loan or sell with % sell on
Right now he’s the only forward who I think might score against Villa
What's he going to be? A 9? wide forward? Can't ultimately see him being elite in the PL at either. Lacks physical qualities for the 9, lacks dribbling ability for the wide stuff. I guess the club saw him as a Son - cut in, shift and shoot - type in the making, I just don't think he's going to hit that level. And Son frustrated the shit out of me plenty.
Would be really happy to see him go on loan somewhere he can play every week and then assess/cash out.
I’ll worry about what anyone might be in the future after that tbh
Be interesting to see if Kinky gets a game today.
Our “leadership team” aren’t quite as good as they think they are. Getting rid of some of them and replacing them with better experienced players might be the way forward to reversing the decline actually. Trouble is, that’s expensive for Enic and they won’t have it in them. Start there and others may grow into the roles?
As always, our academy players are way over rated.
It's also a lot easier to bring them on for 10 minutes when you're 2 up than 1 down.
It's also not really Frank's fault he was given a squad of very vanilla £30-£40m players
Maybe he's under orders from HIS boss to play them into form?
I really doubt Frank will play him as he's already fighting fires on so many fronts. If Kinsky has a mare, it'll add to the big plate of "wtf is Frank doing that" that people are bashing him with now.
Plus he is scary of Vicario and doesnt have balls to drop him after series of bad games he had this season.
We are a steaming turd of a club , wow what a false dawn Bilbao was . We have not built on it ,we have turned the feel good factor into toxicity in remarkably quick time.
Exactly mate
It's another one of those lazy, loser arguments that gets thrown around when our form and results are in the shitter
"Bwahh,,I'd rather throw the acadimee kidz in than play these primar
doners... bwahh at least they'd fight for the shirt blah blah"ermm. how about no..lets calm down, have a nice cup of tea
and rationalise it.How about, we start acting like a Big Club acts, buy Big club players, pay Big club salaries, to justify our Big club ticket prices and our Big club revenues.
And we'll start to see the academy take care of itself, just like it does at other Big, wealthy football clubs, where any top talent coming through will naturally drip feed into the first team squad

agree with most of your take , first you need a good squad to compete, otherwise you can easily burn them outExactly mate

but i would still think that one or two acadimee kiz to start games would be a good thing in the long run
but of course that said its much easier to do on football manager then in real life
ps: the only reason i think so is that i would like to believe that academy players (or players that supported spurs as kids) would give more of a fuck
Does Frazer do the Millsy ahem "joke?"
I doubt he'd agree to that!
Fact is though, no one can can now go and buy 10, 12 established top players in 1, 2 or 3 windows and thats what we need. Even then you need a squad. FFP limits everyone although we have more wiggle room than most. So in the meantime try buying 4 or 5 at that level now and in the summer integrate some enthusiastic younsgsters and take it from there.Exactly mate

Why do this crop of players escape intact? ...Again. Chairman gone, a lot have burned through 3 permanent managers and soon onto a 4th, dof gone from Paratici, Gabannini, Lange, Paratici (i'd bin them off as well) , medical staff changed about 3 times in 2 years. The squad needs gutting as its rotten.
Its how we rebuilt under Poch and painful as it is its how Woolwich started to rebuild, they binned off the egos and expensive flops like Aubameyang,Lacazette, Luiz, Bellerin and srarting promoting Smith Rowe, Maitland Niles, Nketiah. Even if they werent ultimately good enough it gave them a platform which Mason, Townsend, Carroll, Bentaleb did for us 10 years ago. We just didnt take advantage from a position of strength because of our board
