Exactly. We will be tenants at Kilmac Stadium. It's not for Dundee FC and I admire the fact they haven't tried to hide that. It's in everyone's benefit. And why shouldn't it benefit them? They deserve it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct,what I meant was Celtic,rangers would probably be the only 2 clubs that he'd be interested in joining....considering he already knocked back a big offer to move abroad 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve nothing particularly against Nelms etc but why do they ‘deserve it’? If it’s just a business then it’s got f*** all to do with them deserving anything - any profit would simply be a return on their investment. Maybe best to wait until we’re signing the lease on a fully built stadium before we get too much of a hard-on for them though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a business yes but no part of that business meant inviting players and staff to his home or showing up to court to sit with McGowan or anything. It would be daft to say they needed to do any of that but they did. So in my opinion yes they deserve it but I'm not naive to know it isn't about cash. There is far FAR worse and much less deserving is what I'm saying. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louis Litt Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 Absolutely no excuses now for a lack of signings. Two strikers and another Lb if McCann doesn't trust Ralph. Ideally someone in tomorrow. If not, certainly before the Ayr game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disappointed by lack of movement but we still have Kamara. Small sigh of relief and a silver lining I guess. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
locheedee Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 Apparently Trabzonpor have contacted the club about Caulker according to the Scotsman but I'd imagine that will run for a wee while yet if it's a realistic offer. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have to agree that we need to sign sooner rather than later - don't want to be panic buying at the last minure and end up with shite. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just thinking of a potential team with Stewart, Ngwatala, Madianga and Kamara has got me drooling tho There should be a fair few other guys looking for clubs even if Greg doesn't come home - think Ludo mentioned us trying to get that Demetri Mitchell in, so I'm hoping that means we're after two or three quality players 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At best you'd get the 100k in a suspicious briefcase, that you'd have to check wasn't 90k worth of newspaper or more likely it'd be a check so rubbery it'd bounce back to South Africa. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevthedee Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 Rangers and Celtic have always treated other scottish clubs with contempt when trying to buy our players.They always offer below the value because they think that we are all that skint and desperate we will fucking accept there monopoly money offerings and be thankful for it.I for one am glad teams like hibs have told them to fucking do one. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I for one am glad teams like hibs have told them to fucking do one. They do that because the players see them as their ticket to the English league's. Players are desperate to go and if they don't get signed become disillusioned and petty. It's a double edged sword of bullshit. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juantwothree Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 And the first bid they put it is a token gesture just so the club reject it and it unsettles the player in question. Celtic done it with Hendry and many others as have the tribute act 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
