Billy Kee
 

Hi all, Leicester fan here, with Billy's loan spell due to expire in a week or so I thought I'd come on and get a general reaction to his time with you, your opinions on him and whether you'd like to see him stay on loan a while longer.

He's well thought of up here but we haven't really heard all that much about his progress with you so far, anyways your thoughts would be appreciated

Re: Billy Kee
 

Unlucky, but mostly unfit. Was in the team at start of season and hat trick in first game in pre season there was high hopes. But when he played he looked unfit to be honest and theres 2 strikers now banging the goals in so not much playing chance.

He looks fitter now a days but again its hard getting in team and also trying to make an impact in the last 10-15 minutes. I hope we can extend his loan for rest of season for back up or in case one of in form forwards leave, so we can see billy when hes fit and getting more of a chance...

Re: Billy Kee
 

Hasn't Grant collected 5 yellow cards now? That'll give Billy Kee a starting chance and the opportunity to show us what he's got.

Re: Billy Kee
 

Grant has 6, he was suspended for 5 a few weeks ago. Symes is on 4.

Re: Billy Kee
 

Ah right. Thanks for the info Dave. I don't follow it as closely as I used to.

Re: Billy Kee
 

I think Billy will be a good player, as others have said, he has not had a decent run in the Team, but when he is on the pitch he looks good! He had a great match against Torquay the other week and I, along with many others, will never forget that headed winner against Darlo :eek: :D :D

Accrington Stanley v Gilingham

..........................Chris Turner is now available for selection following his recovery from injury however Billy Kee's loan period has expired and midfielder Luke Joyce will miss the tie after picking up a fifth yellow card for the season on Monday against Bury.......................

Pity that Billy has gone back, must be one of our most under used loans.. Do not think we saw the best of him either :( :) :)

Re: Billy Kee
 

it dont say billys returned to his club, or stanley are trying to extend his loan:confused: would hope the latter, but fear ya may be right mate.:(

Re: Billy Kee
 

From the Telegraph

Kee, however, returned to Leicester at the end of his six-month loan on Monday and the Championship club are yet to decide whether he can return for the rest of the season.
Both Stanley and the player want to extend the loan deal but it is unlikely anything will be agreed in time for him to face Gillingham.

Re: Billy Kee
 

cheers fer that info dave.:)

Re: Billy Kee
 

Cheers for that LD, would have thought that sorting it out earlier would have been a given :rolleyes: It is not as if January has turned up out of the blue :eek: :rolleyes: :)

Re: Billy Kee
 

Not sure about that, no club calendar this year :D

Re: Billy Kee
 

Maybe if they liased wi P.B. next year?:D:rolleyes:

Re: Billy Kee
 

Won't show any players details though, they play in red :)

Re: Billy Kee
 

With the Syms and Grant partnership likely to continue, Billy Kee is a high quality option to have on the bench/cover.
It would be great if he stayed on but Leicester may have other ideas. I wonder if they are hammering Swansea on Saturday, he might get a run out?

Re: Billy Kee
 

Hopefully the Leicester management know the FA Cup rules; he's already started for us at Barnet (replay), therefore he's cuptied for Leicester!!:)

Re: Billy Kee
 

even if he wasn't he would be unlikely, we have plenty of strikers its midfielders we're short of

Re: Billy Kee
 

Eh? Proctor, Joyce, Miles, Ryan, Turner and Mullin gives us more cover than we have up front, esp. if Kee doesn't come back.

Re: Billy Kee
 

If you read the 1st post in the thread you'll see I'm a Leicester fan

Forgive him Jimmy he's just got out of bed, actually I think he's still sleeping!! Morning Redraine!! lol

Re: Billy Kee
 

Just seen on the net that we have Billy Back for the rest of the season and we are also trying to get Michael and Bobby to Sign new deals !! Happy Days (fingers crossed)

Accrington offer pair new deals (From Lancashire Telegraph)

Re: Billy Kee
 

good to hear billys coming back boomer,:) macca posted the link though nearly 3 hrs ago.:)

Re: Billy Kee
 

It is grand news. Couldnt get on this morning at work. Not through the lack of trying on my mobile though.

You seen the pics from the Bury Match ? ha ha just posted them now.... Funny

Re: Billy Kee
 

Pleased to read that Gary King has been extended to the end of the season as well

Re: Billy Kee
 

think it may be wise to try getting billy kee fer rest of season, in the light of what could happen.?

Re: Billy Kee
 

thought I'd give this a bump a few months on to see what your thoughts are on how he's doing.

I see he scored the winner Saturday, is he getting more football now?

Re: Billy Kee
 

Billy has started the last two games due to injury to Bobby Grant and has scored in both games. He is a very aggressive, direct player and is an ideal partner for Michael Symes. I really hope he gets an extended run in the side as I think he will come good with plenty of goals, and he seems to me to be our best natural finisher, even though he should have had a hat trick on Saturday. He seems to be a great lad and is a star in the making.

Re: Billy Kee
 

I like footballers especially at this level to be down to earth, approachable & up for a laugh..... he is all them & more. Gave his football boots to "Adam is an Ultra" without anyone even suggesting he should do......

Hope he stays forever!

Re: Billy Kee
 

Billy will get better as he 'gets his eye in'. It must be hard work for a striker to remain match sharp when they aren't palying regularly, but his 2 in 2 is an indication of what he can (and will) do. Bobby getting an enforced break is good for all concerned and we should be ominous when he comes wanting his place back.

BOBBY, BOBBY KEEEEEEE
BOBBY, BOBBY KEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Re: Billy Kee
 

Billy is a cracking player & he has a bright future in the game

His main attributes is he is tenacious, he goes looking for the ball, a decent finisher and most importantly for Stanley he offers something completely different to the other strikers at the Club.

Re: Billy Kee
 

Billys a handful, works harder pressin defenders than symes and grant,

must stay in team at minute even if bobby was fit in my opinion as he could go left wing anyway :)

Re: Billy Kee
 

No arguement from me on last 2 posts, fer my money Billy Kee is a must, if stanley are serious about the play-offs. can only increase our chances IMHO.

Re: Billy Kee
 

He seems to have got stronger as the season has gone on. I think he will have learned a lot from John and Jimmy.

Ha ha, Go on jeff!

Re: Billy Kee
 

can just imagine Jeff singing that to himself whilst tapping away pretending to work!

Re: Billy Kee
 

Sing it all the time Macca

Re: Billy Kee
 

from what I've heard via a reliable source Billy won't be offered a new contract here which personally I feel is a shame

Re: Billy Kee
 

there was a report in one of the locals last week that Tranmere, Notts County and another I can't remember (maybe Chesterfield) were all monitoring his situation at Leicester before deciding whether to bid for him. If he were our player then I could see him getting more play time than he does - but we couldn't compete with the wages that any of those three will be able to offer

Re: Billy Kee
 

Not all about money Macca, good chance we could be seeing more of BK at Stanley!!!

Re: Billy Kee
 

I would like to see Billy stay but I suppose we will have to wait and see if he is even in Coley's plans?

Re: Billy Kee
 

fer me is a must, if he aint in coleys plans will be very razzed off.:eek:

Re: Billy Kee
 

should have hit on with the song to the tune of let it be 'scoring goals for stanley billy kee'

Re: Billy Kee
 

For what it's worth, the few times I've seen him I've been impressed by his commitment. Would have liked to see him get more pitch time earlier in the season (e.g at QPR).

Re: Billy Kee
 

agree chimer, if we had 11 wi same commitment n energy we would be doing great. IMHO.

Re: Billy Kee
 

We can definitely compete with Notts County on wages. The only benefit of going to Chesterfield is that he would be at a new team? He may as well stay at Accy, will someone just tell him that's what he's decided please :rolleyes:

Re: Billy Kee
 

I would think that if either of Symes or Grant decide to move on in Billy we have a more than able replacement, he knows the set-up perhaps the guarantee of more first team starts may help make it tip more in the Stanley's favour?

Re: Billy Kee
 

Are you mad? They are paying a £200k bonus to Schmeichel & they are now a League higher....

We can compete with Tranmere maybe, at a push... But I bet there are higher wages in the Conference North than Accy

Re: Billy Kee
 

Maybe we can compete with Notts' current 54.9% (of turnover) wage bill relative to our own, but we don't have the directors to sponsor the remaining 240% that the League won't say anything about. Cheating scum, I'll be glad to see the back of 'em.

Re: Billy Kee
 

Once again in the second half when he came on as a sub it showed Billy for everything that is good about him, got in the opposition's faces creating chances, scoring and linking up play really well

Even when he was injured and limping he soldiered on and still gave 100%:)

How about Tuesday night giving Symes a rest and linking Billy up with Bobby what have we got to lose?

Re: Billy Kee
 

shaker totally agree mate i live in nottingham and get the crap from so called Notts fans. we only gamble we don't murder or assault..good riddance

Re: Billy Kee
 

Player News.

Thursday 6th May 2010.

Kee keen to start.

Billy Kee has admitted that he's desperate to sign off his time at the Crown Ground with another goal – and a full 90 minutes.

The striker is in red hot form ahead of Saturday's trip to Cheltenham after netting three times in his last two substitute appearances.

“It’d be nice to get one at Cheltenham to make it ten goals for the season,” conceded the on-loan youngster. “Hopefully I’ll get a start. I really want to start a game again and want to be playing full matches. Coming off the bench is hard sometimes but in the two games last week it was really nice to come on the pitch.”


The game at Whaddon Road will signal the end of the 19-year-old's tenure in East Lancashire, but he's unsure what the future holds.

“I haven’t got a clue yet. I haven’t spoken to this club and I haven’t spoken to anyone else yet. I’m just going to go with the flow. I think Leicester want to offer me something. They’re my main club and my main priority at the moment so we’ll just see what happens.

“I wouldn’t say no to coming back because I’ve enjoyed this season but I’ll just have to see what happens and what goes on in the future.”

Kee has received international recognition for Northern Ireland at under 21 level in his time as a Red and was even called into the senior squad. He feels that whatever happens in the future, he's learnt a lot from his loan spell.

“I’m a different person to the one I was when I arrived. I’ve come on a lot, I’m more experienced and I feel like a different player really.”

Nevermind him staring against Cheltenham, I'd like to see him starting against the likes of Shrewsbury, Bradford, Torquay and Hereford, for us next season!!!!

Best of luck Billy, wherever you are next season!

:) :) :)

Re: Billy Kee
 

was a similar article in the L.E.T. tonight, :)

Re: Billy Kee
 

What worries me is the season finishes on Saturday, there dosn't seem to be much eminating from the Club with regard deals being signed as yet by the Managerial Duo, lots of talk but are they actually signed?

Also I would presume that players will start to disperse on their holidays shortly as well will they be signed up or offered contracts before they do and then we can start to shape for next season or do we run the risk of losing them by perhaps being slow out of the blocks if other clubs come calling?

I suppose the key may actually be when their contracts expire

Re: Billy Kee
 

nothing much ever seems to eminate about anything,.............unless of coarse its can ya help/ give us.:rolleyes::(
