Our current options in that position are Aidan Nesbitt and Seb Ross- Telfer is a far better player than both. We’d all have loved someone more consistent to come in and replace Telfer. That hasn’t happened and if it’s not going to, I’d far rather have Telfer in there than our current options. I actually think Telfer could be a lot more effective this season now we have Mcginn in the controlling midfield role. With Hetherington posted missing there last season, Telfer was effectively having to try and do 2 jobs. Christ finding someone more consistent than telfer shouldn't be difficult he'd only have to perform in 2 games out of 15 compared to telfers one. Telfer won't be coming back he was emptied because he wasn't good enough just like some of the others would be if they weren't under contract. We're trying to move these guys on that have underperformed for seasons not bring them back. It's an absolutely crazy idea . We need to get these losers out the club as soon as possible. We'd like more of them out but that's not been possible so far but will happen in time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JulioBairn Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 Hearts lining up another striker. Go and get Henderson now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juan Sheet Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 Did we ever have Ugwu on trial? He’s still without a club. Henderson at Hearts is a good shout too, totally different player to Ugwu but looked good last season. Ideally we’d get both. Whilst I have faith in Mcglynn and the players he wants to sign to fit his system and tactics I’ll chime in on the Telfer debate, if we haven’t added to our midfield by the window closing and unless there’s better free agents who’d come to us I’d have him back. He’s no world beater but playing an advanced midfield role in front of McGinn and Yeats would suit him far better than where our previous idiot managers played him and who they played him next to. Just like Alston proved at Killie last season if you play to a player’s strengths and put him in a system with players that compliment each other you’ll normally see much better results. Ideally we get in a better player on loan but Telfer is better than Hetherington and Mcguffie by a distance IMO 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Caractacus Potts Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 Are we paying to train on grass too as that may have bit in to his budget? Do feel McGlynn knows what’s needed but more than likely hampered by money as the squad is quite big at the moment. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 Telfer? Jesus wept he was part of three years of failure at the club. McGlynn had the option to keep him and punted him - rightly so. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ecosse83 Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 (edited) I’d rather Mcglynn was patient and got the right loan signings in, talk of Telfer is just panic stations stuff! It’s not ideal starting the league still needing to add to the squad but patience is required to make the right signings!

Jackie Myles Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 We didn't sign stokes till the 29th of August so a lot of water to go under the bridge before the window closes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To have kept Telfer, one of McGinn, FY, Donaldson, Mackie Oliver or Henderson would have to have been jettisoned…..and quite possibly FY plus one other…….just to take the budget to where it is now. Anyone fancy that swap???……….and all in order to keep our collection of wee fancy dan dinky doo players together……..the ones we hated so much last season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What kind of wage was Telfer on at Falkirk, we still have an offer on the table ATM that could change of a decent loaner becomes available.. He doesn't seem to keen to sign the deal , although is apparently training with us, 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Between them and the Pars With regards to Mochrie it sounds like Pars are in pole position but Falkirk and Airdrie both interested. Mochrie has been in to speak to McPake as has Robbie Crawford, the latter was training with the Pars last week. On Saturday the Dundee Utd rep from the Courier said if the Pars want Mochrie then it should happen.

Falkirk had first option but declined as we have someone else lined up apparently. Edited to say, been told wages perhaps the issue at Falkirk.

Could be we don't fancy paying as much of the wages as Dundee United want as opposed to we can't compete. If we've only got the money left for 2 signings McGlynn might not want to spunk the majority of that on Mochrie. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunfermline and Airdrie have a well documented history of not really bothering to much about their wage bill and whether they could afford it or not. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
