Don’t really see this as a massive loss. He’s largely underachieved and I don’t think he’s really looked like he was up for it. Young Fin etc can get more game time and a decent wage freed up. Money we can spend on the Fat Grass.

He was underwhelming, but still a class act and focal point last season. He stepped it up slightly this season but our midfield has been terribly imbalanced trying to shoehorn him and Adam together and just make Byrne do all the running. It was working, but clearly not helping other areas of the pitch.

Anderson & Robertson will get more game time which is a plus and whilst Dorrans never looked well and truly a step above this league in the way Charlie Adam has, it's still a massive blow. Hopefully it's something that turns out to be a huge positive in the long run though as with his wages one would think we could get a GK & CH in AND as mentioned will mean Robertson/Anderson get more time to develop.

Hard not to be sore with that one, but at least it's an area we were well covered in and there's some small shoots of positivity to take from the news.

A clearer image of what our best midfield is, wages freed that should be able to sign a good keeper and/or center half... f**k it, telling myself this is a great thing for us.

It is a good thing for us, would rather have young Finlay than him, anytime.

Positive news regarding Graham Dorrans departure, new goalkeeper now hopefully? 

Tried to do his close friend a good turn. Nowt wrong with that tbf, however when he was clearly never interested from day one, I'm not sure he did James McPake any favours whatsoever.

Compare the application of Sir Charles so far, that's the benchmark required when you possess a talent a little bit above shall we say the level you're currently playing.

It's a proud thing being an operative of limited ability performing to your best, Graham Dorrans was neither of these at Dens Park.

Run along Graham, you won't remain long, if at all in our Dark Blue memories.

Not really that difficult to draw a comparison at Dens Park between ex Scotland players Graham Dorrans and Charles Adam.

Both also former (old and new) Glasgow Rangers and had both performed with distinction down south, however there the similarity ends from my experience.

One, when all's not been going to plan, shrugs the shoulder all too often and makes a facial expression with disdain, the other accepts the colleagues around him and attempts to make good again the situation.

Respect Charlie.
