I said it'd allow them to start sorting their squad for next season now. More the extra 6 month of ground work I was focusing on rather than suggesting his stock will be lower come the summer. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Say you get £3million now - that's basically a whole starting 11 revamp and it's not gonna have an impact on this season. I'd probably be against it if I were an Arab admittedly, but it'd certainly have its benefits! You seem to be under the misapprehension Dundee Unted operate under some form of budget. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately witnessed Arbroath implode in similar circumstances after selling Murray (and loaning him back but he wasn't the same) and also seen a similar occasion where we benefitted from a similar bottle job 3/4 year ago. Also having a hungry Shankland who wants to prove himself at the start of next season would be huge for them too. Would definitely keep him for as long as possible personally. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't see United blowing a 14 point lead from here just without Shankland - Nicky Clark is an excellent striker at this level and would fill the role to tide them over. I suppose though, can never be too sure. Not disagreeing with your last point - can see it both ways. ETA: The biggest bottle job I can remember is ourselves from this position: Caley went on a 21 game unbeaten run starting just before this and had a much better squad than anyone does this season (IMO) and we won 5, drew 6 & lost 6 in that time. Shankland or not, can't see United having such an epic breakdown. Edited January 2, 2020 by Ludo*1 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can’t see it happening this month , with contract being up in summer as transfer fee could put a team off , fees would only be paid IMO if team were desperate for his services now 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve only really seen him against United and thought he looked very decent. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s still inconsistent but there’s not a player in his position that isn’t. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fairly confident we'll have him until the summer at least. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArabianKnight Posted January 3, 2020 Share Posted January 3, 2020 Some right nonsense regarding transfers flying around just now. Dillon Powers will be the level of player we will be signing, most definitely not the likes of Kipre. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stumigoo Posted January 3, 2020 Share Posted January 3, 2020 I will also post this in the match thread for tomorrow but Harkes has just put on his Instagram (I'm cool so I have an 'Insta' account) that he has a broken cheekbone. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely with the £6 million from Shankland you'll be aiming a bit higher than Powers! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
