Ludo*1 Posted August 22, 2022 Share Posted August 22, 2022 Scott Burns is almost at the point where he's just another shite journalist that makes things up. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also think he's too classy to be a brute hatchet man type player you need in the Scottish leagues. I'd also say, I don't think he's good or classy enough to ever be a creative force. Therefore, his uses are severely limited. In the right side and the right formation, he's our most important player but if that's not the way the manager wants to go then he becomes a very expensive back-up option. I agree with this sentiment. I'd also point to the fact that he's never managed to convincingly compliment a midfielder paired along side him. The telling sign for me that the end was close was when Mark Mcghee was obviously not convinced by him. Mcghee, for all his faults, was a seasoned manager who saw something there and this was continued by another seasoned manager in Bowyer who thought the same. Having said all that...we need to get a fee for him. The exit of a player with 2 years left on his contract should be negotiated properly which we haven't been great at doing in recent years. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieDee Posted August 23, 2022 Share Posted August 23, 2022 Can't see us getting a fee for a player we're wanting to move on. Just get him away and use some of the money freed up to get Mulligan to sign up on a proper deal 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hendry aside, we have an appalling record of getting fees for players. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might be an attempt to gain interest from a bunch of clubs to fight for his signature...back to reality it's probably Dundee just doing Dundee things. Most likely out on loan to free up some wages. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RossBFaeDundee Posted August 23, 2022 Share Posted August 23, 2022 Byrne isn't going anywhere unless someone is paying for him imo, can't see how he would want to willingly end a deal which suits him quite well or why the club would pay him off when he's still our player, and a useful one at that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chateau Lafite Posted August 23, 2022 Share Posted August 23, 2022 To be honest I’ve been much more positive with Byrne than negative. He’s been a great signing. His strength has been in: very good close control; very good at interrupting opponents’ play; making himself available; pretty good passer; hardly ever losing possession; and strength in the tackle. Yet, despite these strengths; he never scores goals; he rarely puts the killer pass in that rips a defence open and I think it’s in this part of his game that GB feels we need more positive action. Over the piece, however, I understand GB’s view, and I wish Sean the best of luck wherever that may be. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s like his confidence has taken a big dip. Best all round if he moves on IMO. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigmouth Strikes Again Posted August 23, 2022 Share Posted August 23, 2022 He'll get another club no probs, time to move on, everyones happy, no way we'd be getting a fee for him. IMO. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dundee-FC92 Posted August 23, 2022 Share Posted August 23, 2022 I'm happy with it. Do we want to go up and have Byrne in our starting 11? I'm assuming people would want Kerr, McMullen and the rest of the players who were part of that scandalous season last year. This club needs to slowly rebuild and getting rid of pretty much all of McPakes duds is needed. For me personally i think French is standing out already above what we have. Thank you. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree he looks like the real deal. He’s a very composed player and is good with the ball at his feet. I can’t remember who on here suggested it but I think when everyone is back fit it would be good to replace Marshall with him to see how he does there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cammy has played really well for a whole year, and he wasn’t that bad before that, just the fans boo boy. He’s like (Paul) McGinn and Holt before him, hounded out the club yet we can’t get anyone better. French has had 2 decent touches so far, the break out against Arbroath, other than that he looks very limited to me. Just hoofs it. Sweeney has a chance, could be coached into a decent CH, French, I have my doubts about, and at left back, fook me, he’s extremely one footed (his right). I haven’t seen much evidence of his fabled pace either, a couple of times on Saturday he got caught for pace one on one. More chance of Sweeney playing left back, which is actually not a bad shout. McCowan gets heaps of praise, never gets called out and whilst McMullen may not be premier standard, he is usually involved in the game more than McCowan, who goes into hiding. If we got promoted the only player I’d defo want to keep would be Mulligan. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Girth Posted August 23, 2022 Share Posted August 23, 2022 (edited) With Byrne off - who will be the next baller coming in? I heard a rumour about a midfield general coming in called James Chapmanus. Anyone else hear anything? Edited August 23, 2022 by Girth 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louis Litt Posted August 23, 2022 Share Posted August 23, 2022 I saw someone on twitter claiming Chapman's on 3.5k a week and I decided social media isn't for me 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
