R.R.FC Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 Can't see Dundee United having cash to buy him. And if they did, I'd be surprised if they spent it on an attacker. They already have Keatings, McDonald, N'Koyi, Fraser, Stanton, McMullan and King. Don't agree with some others that we couldn't win the league without Vaughan but we would have to be incredibly lucky with injuries and we have a much, much better chance with him in the team. He's definitely our best player right now though and it's great seeing one of our own youngsters excelling and enjoying himself. Really hope we keep him for the rest of the season as I think he's worth more to us than any fee we'd bring in. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Specky Ginger Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 Rubbish. In 1995/96 we finished well above both of the Dundee clubs. In fact, we were literally a league above both of them. Vaughan must surely realise that. Vaughan should hold out for Spurs or someone like that. This is slightly off topic regarding Vaughan but wanted to say something about the Raith Suite on Saturday. I personally thought it was very decent for a 'first run'. Being able to leave the pub at 2:55, no walk, and make kick off is glorious. It's also great being in the ground having a look at memorabilia and knowing your money (which you would be spending anyway) is helping the club. Drink-wise the spirits (35ml) are well priced. I understand that not having draft beer is a draw back - however, perhaps if more people come this may be reintroduced or more varieties of canned/bottled beers etc. I really think this is one of those things that if people endeavour to come to help the club it will get better and better. Over the course of the afternoon there must have been around 40odd people in - including a sizable group from Stranraer. Speaking the the barman he seemed to be of the opinion that doubling that would ensure the club make a wee bit cash from it. Our group has decided to go whenever we plan to have a few drinks before the game - I hope as many of you decide to get involved too. And that we as a fan base should encourage away fans to come in as much as possible. Do more people intend to give it a go? Oh, and if anyone has any spare tele's to donate that would be class - having the football on is great, but only one tele in a large room isn't ideal. Again, these are things that will get better over time! One last thing if anyone from the club is listening I think we should rebrand the name. To get the ball rolling I will throw out - "the coca cola cup suite/lounge", "The Dancing in the streets suite" etc etc. Coutinho to Barcelona Dele Alli to Liverpool Vaughan to SpursSorted. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I,m sure Utd wouldn,t miss 50k/100k out of the 800 k they got from Robertsons move to Liverpool from Hull Dunfermline just signed another attacker to add to their long list so see no reason why Utd wouldn,t sign another attacker and in Vaughan something different to what they already have 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

United will be losing huge amounts of money by playing another season in the championship. Even with the money for Robertson they will still run at a loss this season. So spending 100k on a young player who has never played a full season seems highly unlikely to me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D'Jaffo Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 Out of interest does anyone know how many players Dundee or United have paid cash for in the recent past? Might need to check this but I think Utd paid for Toshney, Durnan, Telfer, Muirhead, Murray, Robertson in the last few years I really don't think they will spend money for Vaughan unless they are really struggling for forwards but they've got a pretty decent forward line as it is. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grumswall Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 Robertson was at Queens Park so was on an amateur contract. All they would have had to pay up front would be a mitre size 5. He could have been released after 28 days if Queens Park refused his transfer. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hank Scorpio Posted August 15, 2017 Author Share Posted August 15, 2017 If someone wanted to watch the game tonight via Raith TV, someone who may or may not be out of the country, does the proxy server system still work, if it were to be used? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
