Re; Marquee signing,

I found myself in the murky depths of TDB forum (before you do, please remember that things cannot be un seen) and their "ITK" thoughts on the marquee signing are;

Kyle Lafferty (He is ODea's in law or some shit)

Clint Dempsy (Because he is a yank and some boy at Celtic said he heard a rumour)

Kris Commons (More "ITK" shite)

Whats the thoughts from the more level headed P&B Dee's?

I'd rather have 11 players with the attitude of Kerr and O'Dea than paying over the odds for someone who has seen better days.  I'm never convinced you get 100% from a player that's on the wind down.

I'll accept nothing less than Dimatar Berbetov. That's all.

Thank you.

If you signed Berbatov it would make me feel oddly nostalgic, like the days of you signing Caniggia and Ravanelli were back.

The board have been trying for a while to get Scott Allan level signings through the door. Last season they had Christie and May very close to signing on loan before being trumped by Aberdeen and Preston respectively. Both of whom can pay significantly more than Dundee. So they have been trying to get quality in for a while.

A CH and a striker and I think the teams in decent shape:

Bain

Kerr
O'Dea
New CH
Holt

Vincent
O'Hara

El bak
Allan
Deacon

New striker

The basis of a decent starting XI.

I can tell you for a fact May was never returning to Scotland at any point on loan. Sheffield Wednesday owed us a £400k payment that Summer and were hell bent on getting someone else to pay it.

Very interesting.

[RandomGuy.]

In fact last Summer May had already spent a season at Preston and wasn't even halfway through recovering from his knee disintegrating, so I've no idea how they beat you to his signature

I have to say of all the phrases from the old days on Dundee Mad during the rollercoaster rides ,the one that I hate the most and gives me the fear most is"Marquee Signing."

[Fifespud]

I know. Those were magic, special days.

[Fifespud]

If we signed Stevie May I think Boredom Guy's head would explode.

He'd probably still find a mundane way to carry it out.

[Dundee-FC92]

Heading upto Dens tomorrow to get Berbatov printed across my home top.

Viva la revolution.

Dundee are back.

Throw in Hemmings and Meekings then you've got enough to make me rip the head off it.

Thank you.

Reading on Twitter that Daniel Higgins has left?

Reading on Twitter that Daniel Higgins has left?

 

Who was he?

 

ETA - never realised that was young Higgins' first name. Disappointing if true, he looked like a player.

The young CH that Hartley was bleeding into the team just before he got sacked.

[Louis Litt]

I'd be really disappointed if Higgins left, he looked really good whenever he played (albeit in a fucking shite team.)

On another note, a Jambo in my work is convinced they're signing Gorgeous Greg after he was apparently spotted at Tynecastle yesterday/Sunday. Don't do it Greg 

[Dee Till A Die]

Reading on Twitter that Daniel Higgins has left?

Disappointing if true. Seemed like he had potential.

[Ludo*1]

Bit surprised if he has left if I'm honest, but seems a bit random to be made up. Hope he stays!

Kyle Lafferty - Bit of a violent carthorse when he played for the ***s a few years ago. Still half decent, but not an out and out prolific striker. High wages. Verdict: Get him into the fucking sea. 

Clint Dempsey - Aged 34, would be looking for a decent wedge to supplement retirement. Verdict: Get him into the fucking sea

Kris Commons - Scored a couple of goals and did little else at a level below ours for Hibs. Also consistently fat and unfit. Verdict: Get him into the fucking sea.
