He's a League 1 Wayne Rooney. Would be chuffed to pieces if we got him.

I would think that stanley have been in contact with Billey over a contract at the club,But with all other clubs hes been linked to i would think he will talk to them as well.one thing in our faver is that he knows the club, management and players around him and a passonet support from the supporters

I know he was quite bored up here with most of his social life in & around Leicester, despite his cult status, I can see him in the Midlands somewhere unfortunatley

Thats a shame, but can understand his viewpoint.

would be good to have billy back next season, i think his explotes last season will stand him in good stead,and its always good to play little fella with a big lad upfront, he worked very well with michael some great interchanges and goals between the two were great,ie notts county,barnet, michaels hold up play and billys movement,but to put billy before michael, must be joking,for me anyone along side michael.our prob is at the back,has been all season.

I think the reality is more finely balanced than that, just as Michael is weighing up his options so should the Club even if that means planning for life after Michael

I'd really hope the club are exhausting all possible avenues / options to get Kee to sign. As others have said, speculate to accumulate.

In my opinion the club would hardly be taking a speculative gamble by offering Kee a deal. We all know his talent and have seen that the lad has promise. Hardly a gamble !!!

Had we been a little bolder as a club, we would have reaped a reward by signing Carl Baker. That time a fee was involved (£50k reportedly??) which the club weren't prepared to pay. A couple of seasons down the line he went for big money and the club missed out on a big pay day with probably sell on clauses.

This time the financial question is the wage and a contract, no transfer fee involved. If we're to go anywhere near challenging for promotion and invest in the future, surely signing Kee has to rank as a priority, likewise getting the other main men tied down to contracts longer than a season.

Anyone want to go halves on his taxi fare to get him up here? No need to transport his agent! ;-)

Ill chip in

Spot on MCR, hindsight is a wonderful thing, so is Coleys foresight

Hiya, a peek at my username would tell you where I'm from.

Torquay United in the mix for Irish striker Billy Kee

We've apparently agreed a deal in principle to sign Billy Kee, and going by your comments on him, we're quite chuffed to be strongly linked with such a player.

He'll have a more interesting social life visiting all the retirement homes in Torbay.
