Dundee look set to remove the offer on the table to Robert Snodgrass but have expressed an interest in Charlie Miller.

Tay FM

"Look set to withdraw" and "could be withdrawn if he does not reach a decision quickly" aren't exactly synonymous.

I just read in the Record that Miller has been released from the Belgian club he was with after leaving Brann. I suppose a move to Scotland is inevitable, although the record didn't mention any clubs linked with him. I'd imagine the Chis and Dodds connection will see us linked with him.

I was expecting this,we imo have given snodgrass plenty of time to decide if he wants to be a dundee player and obviously cant wait forever.The squad leaves in a couple of weeks for the training camp in malta and alex rae reckons we are 4 players short anmd I would think he would want the squad sorted for the trip.Players are now in a strong position so most can bide their time but clubs must move on and I for one am happy we have taken this stance and wont let it drag on any further.As for charlie miller would love to see him at dens.

Yeh just heard this on the radio and was away to make a post.

Reeks of the "you lot are signing our best players so we will sign up some of your rejects" approach to football management.

No idea why they would withdraw the offer for Snortgrass, he's far better than anything else they have on offer at the minute and would do very well for them. Sounds like more temper tantrums from Rae.

Wouldn't mind seeing Miller come to EEP.

McIntyre used to be a team mate of his at the Arabs too.

Miller is exactly the sort of player we need to replace McDonald. Still can't see it happening though. If he is available, I'm sure there would be a few SPL sides willing to take a gamble on him.

Can't see us getting Snodgrass either. Although if the reported comp is around £50k, not sure he'd be worth signing. If we got that sort of cash to fling about, and I seriously doubt it, I reckon we could do better. Ryan Stevenson of Ayr is one that sticks out.

To start with,robertson is a good player who I hoped would,ve stayed with dundee but there you go.I was replying to savo,s comment/attempted wind up,he stated in so many words that united have signed our "best players" this is untrue at this moment as they have only signed robertson,1 player!
Miles Brookeson
Why the f**k would Snoddy want to give up all chance of playing in the SPL by signing for Rae's Rangers??

It's great that a player is choosing his career over receiving lots of dubious gangster money.

Fair doos, I just wanted to establish that. But c'mon, if Robertson had stayed at Dens I'm sure you wouldn't be referring to him as a 'good' player.

linked with ANOTHER former united player. Thought it was only us that signed their cast offs?

Actually, it is. They all turn Dundee down laugh.gif

And have how many in their sights?

McDonald? Dixon?

Merely illustrates that United are the big team in Dundee and it is getting up your nose so you throw a temper tantrum and try and sign the first United reject you can find. Step forward Charlie "six bellies" Miller!

Dixon was our 2nd choice left back and if they sign McDonald I will buy your season ticket for st johnstone next season.United are the "big" team ion the city at the moment due to their spl status nothing more nothig less.You have just signed samuel who is probably fatter than miller!!

Theyve been doing it for a while now Savo. Currently got Malone and Cowan, Sampsons just left and of course there was Blobby Mann not so long ago. Funny how the ex Saints bit is never mentioned!

I know Malone came from the Saints - i'm sure a few of the buddies were surprised MacPherson let him go. Didn't know about the rest - learn something new every day though eh?! ph34r.gif

Bobby mann was a dee fan tho,cowan and samson did ok for us last season and I,m sure most saints fans wish malone was at mcdiarmid now,especially as they desperately need a left back.

I'm sure he has come on a bit since he last graced our colours but my recollections are of him being woefully bad. He was good at swedging but that was the full extent of his abilities.

He did get traded for this chap remember...

Would the offer they are withdrawing be for the player who was in the papers over the weekend saying he wanted to play in England? rolleyes.gif

With who? Colin Samuel - probably won't get a game, Gavin Swankie - you'd be as well as not giving him a game and Miller - another who will struggle for his game.

You've lost ever dependable Stanic and also McManus who is a good CH at this level.

You really have no idead. I fucking hate pre-season.

How do you know Colin Samuel won't get a game?
Why are we not to give Swankie a game?
Why will Millar struggle for his game? (whatever that means)

We never lost Stanic. We know where he is. He is at East Fife because the manager didn't want him anymore. McManus was released becuase he would have been 5th choice CB next season.

1. milne,jackson and mcdonald are better than him
2. he's a waste of a shirt, you'll get 5 good games a season out of him, 5 not bads, 10 injured and the rest pish
3. hardie,craig and morris are better than him

you're not withdrawing your offer for snodgrass - it's PR bullshit. a nice way of spinning a knockback into a piece of decisive action by the club.
