Dee Bliss Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 Ashcroft’s new contract is very sensible planning by the club in terms of our 1st team squad. Now that’s the standard we have to improve on. More than capable at this level in my humble opinion. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D TOTAL Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 I know it’s been said but it’s still annoying that the 2 defenders reported are within a 20’miles radius and at the completely other end of the spectrum is a guy that’s plays(Ed) in Canada, wtf is up with our scouting department(sort of) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RossBFaeDundee Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 (edited) Robert Thomson saying talks regarding Griffiths have dragged on because Celtic don't want him back. He trained with the club today, as would be expected until an agreement is reached. We don't half get ourselves into stupid situations.

If you were on about Kerr and Elliot then for me I'd like Elliot to be let go and Kerr I'd like for another player to be brought in and Kerr to fight for his position. Do I believe this defence is going to be good enough to keep us up? With injuries and with what we have i don't believe so. Merely my opinion.

Ludo*1 Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 Really need to be doing better than Ashcroft in the Prem but I'm not devastated by the news. Feel sorry for Griffiths if Robert Thomson is accurate in that we want rid and Celtic are reluctant to take him back. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most were in total agreement when he signed that it was a very good bit of business with us thinking he’d get himself match fit and make a positive difference on the park. Then to insert a get out clause, if Infact there is one then that’s decent planning again in my humble opinion. Griffiths off field antics were my only worry about taking a chance on him. Surely for his sake his stupidity online will be a life changing experience. Went from being known as the guy who scored 2 incredible freekicks against England to being abused as a peado.

Ashcroft is fine and I think has a worse reputation on here than within the general fanbase, so I'm fine with it. I feel a bit for Griff too, but it's just the fact hitting home that he can't consistently do it at this level anymore if he persists with staying in the shape he currently is in. He could well be out of a club entirely within a few weeks, and his decision-making if that comes to pass will be interesting. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feel sorry for Griffiths if Robert Thomson is accurate in that we want rid and Celtic are reluctant to take him back. I can't say I feel sorry for him to be honest, we've given him a decent wage (no doubt) and a chance to get his life/ career back on track and he hasn't taken it, that's all his own doing. I accepted him coming to Dundee unfit because he appears to have gone through some personal issues and wasn't playing at Celtic but he's been at Dundee since August, has been largely ineffective and is clearly unfit with a pot belly. That's totally unprofessional in my opinion and isn't the sign of a player that really cares. He'll be at Kelty Hearts next season, I can't see many teams touching him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's still very capable and versatile, if not hitting previous heights. He may well push for a move in the Summer if he's down the pecking order though, or if Ron Gordon's supermarket sweep continues at pace this window. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely for sake his stupidity online will be a life changing experience. Went from being known as the guy who scored 2 incredible freekicks against England to bring abused as a peado. I mean stupid more in the sense that we knew that headlines follow wherever Griff goes, and for good reason. The punting of the flare towards the St Johnstone fans was the first real showing as to why, and he's still got that ban coming up whenever charges are properly filed on him for that. That would perhaps be forgivable if what he was offering on the pitch was too good to pass up, but that hasn't been the case. A good goal at home and a belter of a free kick away showed that skill is still very much there, but it is largely hampered by the shape he is in. All that combined with his general reputation within the football community has made it far more of a headache than it's worth for another 6 months. While we were all excited by the prospect of what he could bring, we also knew it would be a gamble dependent on if he could bring it, and it's hard to argue that he has. While having the presence of mind to have included a break clause in the deal was sensible from us, I'd still argue we knowingly got ourselves into this mess by bringing him in in any capacity months after the scandal he was involved in. I personally think he gets far worse treatment than he deserves, but I value Dundee more than Griffiths and that's that. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does he still get in at RB/RWB over Cadden and now Clarke? Loading up quite a lot in that area. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh completely, I still think he's a great player and I can't imagine he'll be happy if he ends up being benched so I'd imagine a move elsewhere in the league is possible, but I reckon that may be in the Summer once the picture of his place is clearer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the idea in Cadden/Clarke being signed is probably not as a starter, but our defence has generally been lacking in depth out with the old guard for a while so I can see there being an appetite from the club to keep him in the interim. Albeit that depends on what else we do this window as there's rumours of another CB coming in, no real rumours sticking as to who that is at this stage however. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given that his last three goals have come against Aberdeen in the last nine months, just get McPake to tell Griffiths it’s been agreed that Dundee will be playing Aberdeen every week. He will believe that. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok, but in my senario you wouldn’t actually be playing Aberdeen every week. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
