mishtergrolsch Posted June 3, 2017 Share Posted June 3, 2017 Good luck to Dillon and Dixon. Think Dillon has had far too hard a time from some people. Not the greatest player but he's filled in across the defence and midfield well over his time and never given less than his full commitment. Dixon hasn't been as good as his first time round but when he's had no help as it's just been him on the left side of the pitch for about 2 years I don't blame him for struggling. You can't overlap nobody. For next season I'd like to see a winger with real pace and a striker like Mikkleson (if not him). We also need an enforcer in the middle of the park and someone to partner Durnan. We could probably do with a playmaking midfielder too. Oh, and a left back, right back, possibly a keeper if rumours of Bell wanting away are true. Head of Recruitment must be working overtime right now....

Actually thinking about it some rubbish in the spl as it is. I'd be very surprised, given that he'd have to travel back in time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UnitedLoon63 Posted June 3, 2017 Share Posted June 3, 2017 Must need - GK - Experienced back up (Neil Alexander?) Right Back - first choice (Nicky Devlin) Left Back - first choice Centre Half - Back Up/First Choice (Josh Meekings?) CM - two definitely needed brought in Wingers/Attacking Players - 3 some pace and creativity 2 strikers - pacey striker and target man So looking at 10-12 new signings. Obviously if Telfer/Flood stay we'd be only bringing in one centre mid. If Spittal stays, we'd bring one less winger in. And if Murdoch stays, can't see us bringing RB in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stumigoo Posted June 3, 2017 Share Posted June 3, 2017 In these times of austerity I can't imagine the board sanctioning the wages it would need to bring in an experienced goalkeeper like Alexander. Long will be our number 2 next season and given Bell's injury record I'd imagine we will see him at least half a dozen times next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would rather an experienced keeper than a youngster for back up. But it'll probably end up being Long Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally don't think he's a great loss to Dundee United. Wrong as f**k. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Spittal is the kind of player you're happy with to get you out of that league you kick on buddy, probably still in the league come 2025.

UnitedLoon63 Posted June 3, 2017 Share Posted June 3, 2017 Spittal needs to be released. In the few years of him being here, he's done f**k all other than score few derby goals and score few goals recently. Too inconsistent and has been a 'prospect' for too long.

chazas_ Posted June 3, 2017 Share Posted June 3, 2017 He has no standout qualities, just averageness and the ability to go through entire games without committing to a tackle or 50/50. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mishtergrolsch Posted June 3, 2017 Share Posted June 3, 2017 Everyone involved in our relegation season should be punted. They don't have the dig to get us out of this league as last weekend showed also. Funnily enough Spittal turned up when his contract was ending and was on the TV...

stumigoo Posted June 3, 2017 Share Posted June 3, 2017 So it looks like Flood will be signing a one-year extension. He is definitely on the decline but I still think that we played better this season when he was in the team. Not to say there might be better options out there but if he is used more as a squad player then I see no problem in him being here for another season. By the sounds of things Spittal is all but gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
