Conor SammonScottish Premier Kilmarnock by brandyballs1974 (U11732095) 22 July 2008  Just been reading reports linking him with a move to Kilmarnock. Was wondering on peoples opinions on this. Think it's a great move for the player personally, but don't know if he is SPL standard! Be interested to see the transfer fee involved here as he is only in the first year of his contract with Derry City. I'm sure this move must have been sparked by the return to action of Sammy Morrow last Friday night and City's other attacking options with Farren, McHugh and Stewart. Any views on this potential transfer and Killie fans feel free to add your views also. Latest 10 commentsRead members' comments or add your own

brandyballs1974 (U11732095) posted Jul 22, 2008 Yeah, there will be a fee for Sammon as he's only joined Derry City at the start of the current season in Ireland. It is a strange move for Kilmarnock as Sammon hasn't set the world alight at the Brandywell and hasn't even managed to hold down a regular starting spot....although he did have a lot of success with UCD before moving to Derry and is a Rep of Ireland under-age international I think. As I said in original post great personal move for the player and financially for Derry City....but not sure if he is SPL standard!...He certainly aint no Paddy McCourt!!!

KilliePiedownsouth (U10839322) posted Jul 23, 2008 Let's give JJ a bit of respect here. If he is going to go for Sammon then he must see some potential in the lad. He's only 21 and maybe JJ sees him more as someone who can develop into a first team regular over the next year or so. Remember that JJ has said he wants THREE new strikers to join Russell before the start of the season. I assume that at least one of them will be a fully experienced SPL striker, maybe Lovell. But until the players actually join the Club a lot of this is just paper talk and I don't think we should get too het up about it.

KilliePiedownsouth (U10839322) posted Jul 24, 2008 Its a fair point you make theginuwinearticle, I suppose the bottom line will be who actually DOES sign for us. Maybe there were other factors that JJ did not feel inclined to reveal regarding his decision not to sign Thomas. I'm just hoping, as you and all the rest of us are, that some decent signings are made, especially in the striking department. I'm looking at the rst of the SPL squads and thinking that eighth would represent a good season for us now..............
