Accent-Unknown Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 How's Craig Curran been? Rumour is that he may be crossing the road....What an absolutely lazy rumour. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FifeArab Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 Seems like you've approached Stefan Scougall, he's been told he's free to leave us this January. Apparently on a mammoth wage, for us, though.Seen this In the courier today. I’m sure we were Interested In him when Jackie was around and he went to Sheffield Utd Instead. I think he would be a decent signing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His stats for last season are not impressive. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree we need a right-back but we could also do with a left-back. The issue will be money and the players who Neilson will prioritise. Playing devil's advocate though, what has Murdoch done wrong in the last few games? He is poor going forward but defensively he has been pretty solid in the last few weeks and was in the first few games under Neilson also. We've needed a right-back for about three years but I think where we have a 'competent' player in a particular position it might be that Neilson wants to focus on other areas. Our big issue is still scoring goals and cutting teams open so Neilson maybe wants to address that first. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am less critical of Murdoch than many, it’s not his fault that he’s being played out of position. I agree that it’s about scoring goals and a genuine RB should offer more going forward and overlapping the wide players. 7 minutes ago, Girth said: Would you like Marcus Haber chaps?

mishtergrolsch Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 Murdoch hasnt done alot 'wrong' in that hes not directly flogged loads this season. Hes been a large part of our worst defence in years though. He dosent get forward to help create chances and he is an incredibly negative full back. Id rather we went for someone who will at least put the odd cross in during a game. Christ, even Neilson did when he was a player with us. Id like a left back but its not the highest priority. In order of priority, Id argue we need 1. Striker 2. Midfielder 3. Right back 4. Goalkeeper Then if we can have some more bodies id go 5. Left back 6. Winger 7. Attacking midfielder / playmaker. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dundeeunited83 Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 Right back is a absolute must but so is left back centre mid, number 10, winger, striker! Donald trump get ya cash oot 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stumigoo Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 Genuinely think by the way Neilson has been talking that we won't see more than two or three come in. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dundee Hibernian Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 4 hours ago, jagfox99 said: I was thinking about him for Thistle too. Seemed to be struggling for game time at Bristol Rovers but they sacked their manager a couple of weeks ago and lo and behold he’s back in the first team scoring goals. Was keen to try his luck down South and now that he’s getting some first team action I doubt he’ll return to Scotland in this window. You are probably correct: he'll be on a good wad down in Bristol, a new opportunity has arisen for him, no real reason to head north so early. And although I don't like either keeper, I'd also probably rather see us try to outscore teams than keep a more secure defence than them. Just for the sake of entertainment. So fixing out our lack of goals might be a priority over our dreadful defence, which is one of the worst in the league. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn’t say much about the commitment of the new owner. Short term contracts for key positions would only cost £25k-£50k each. Not a bad investment if it boosts our prospects of promotion. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Id be a huge fan of outscoring the opposition with a team that consisted of 3 or more strikers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doubtful but you never know. Maybe its 2 or 3 permanent players and a couple of loans once we know what positions have been filled. Then replace as we remove crap players. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skinny arab Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 Neilson isn't going to say we need 6 or 7 players in due to the shite in our squad while there are still games to be played. I would be surprised if only 2 or 3 come in, really expect 4+ to be brought in. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dindeleux Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 Are you looking to make money from this deal? Yes. This isn't a hobby for us, and we expect to make money long-term but, let me say, for that to happen we need to be competing in the Ladbrokes Premiership on a continual basis. With the possible exception of some of the charlatans involved in the Sevco debacle, who is the last person to make money out of owning a Scottish football club? Michael Johnston. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Granny Danger Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 Courier linking us with 21 year old winger Daniel Armstrong who has been on a short term deal with Raith. Scored 5 in 7 games apparently. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
