Looking at what Welnix have been saying since taking over Brockie would seem a no brainer if he's keen... with Killen, they've not said they're against spending big dollars - what they're against is the risk involved in throwing dollars at someone and then "hoping" that they turn out be more of an Ifill, and less of a Jardel.
Based on what they've said about wanting to have Kiwi's in the club where possible - and Killen's (and JB's) obvious familiarity with the team, town, Ricki, and many of the players... that risk is greatly mitigated. So, if Killen's $$$$ are comparable/close to other o/seas options with similar experience I'd guess they'd go with him as the likelihood of him settling and contributing would be much higher.
Greenie can move into the AM/attack coaching role and with Sanchez, Ifill, Pavlova and hopefully a young Kiwi striker (???) then we're looking ok up front.
If we got JB and/or CK then I'm a happy little Brissy based Nix fan! That really needs a new stripey
The big issue with Killen is his fitness, he has had big injury issues in his career and I dunno if we would be willing to risk an injury plagued player with our marquee slot.

Ifill has had just as many injury problems as Killen..
And continues to have injury problems at present, could we cope with two main attacking players with a fairly high risk of niggling ongoing injury issues?
