captainkev Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 Agree with this. Giving Wilson an 18 month deal isn't a step forward in terms of squad quality and development. How long has GMS's present contract got to run? I believe he's contracted until May 2015. If he doesn't sign an extension and we want to get anything for him he'll have to go in either this transfer window or in the summer one. But like Johnny Russell's sale this past summer, the buying club will have the big advantages in any deal as they know we can't hold out for a lot of money.

ShedruleFTD83 Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 Not so sure on the Wilson one. I was delighted when he came in but he has been massivley exposed when playing against any semi-decent wideman with pace, and Watson would be my first pick. Add to that we have Dillon who wont be playing regular, and if in desperate trouble we have Paton or decent youngsters capable. Big time 'meh' news (especially that it's 18 months), been ripped by guys like Forbes, Chris Johnston and Walker of Hearts, Watson and Dillon are better Think teams target that side when he starts, leaves us with very little pace on that side given Paton is slow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desert Nomad Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 Can't wait until Kenneth signs. The seethe on hear will be incredible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShedruleFTD83 Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 No idea why, will be a decent signing if he proves himself to Jackie, we have lesser CB's currently in the squad and worse in other positions than he is in his Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

invergowrie arab Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 Can't wait until Kenneth signs. The seethe on hear will be incredible. You should have heard the volume of the tut I let out when I heard he was training with us. If he signs,even for 6 months,I might throw my season ticket at the wall.

Granny Danger Posted January 23, 2014 Author Share Posted January 23, 2014 It will make the FifeSpud season ticket debacle seem like a storm in a teacup. Don't visit the Dundee threads often but the Spudster seems to have vanished. Pity too because he seemed a right good guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should demand our rightful place back in the 84 European Cup Final before even thinking about talking to them. Final to be replayed with the squads of that time.

stumigoo Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 This recent spate of former players returning to us hasn't worked out incredibly well so far, nobody apart from Wilson has had consistent game time, and none of the returning players have played particularly well. Another thing that bugs me is that it smacks of pretty lazy 'scouting' on our behalf. We managed to get Ciftci and Robertson out of the blue during pre season but more recently the targets being talked about have mostly been ex-United players, which isn't exactly very inspiring. I've never been overly impressed with Kenneth (apart from maybe when he first broke through into the team), but if he does sign then I will reserve any judgement until he plays a few games. I hope we wouldn't be offering him anything more than a six month deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

banana Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 If any United player is ever good enough to sign for those Roma b*****ds, I swear to GOD I will not give a f**k as long as the terms are good for United.

I agree with this, other than the demented speaking to sky fairies bit obviously. Only three things that I would look for for any player we sold on at any point in the future: 1. We get the best possible deal for the club including sell on clauses. 2. If the player is Scottish, the deal allows them to develop and contribute to the national team. 3. Irrespective of 2 above, they don't sign for Celtic or the Rangers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zetterlund Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 Is it them or Lazio that are the fascists? Who are the nazis? Di Canio's questionable salute came while representing Lazio. Roma are obviously still worse though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
