Dundee United 2019/2020


Recommended Posts

we don't
If he is confident he will score goals. He has the ability to make space for himself and is surprisingly good win ball at his feet. Like most strikers, having a creative partner up top with him was a huge part of his success imo.

Shankland is an intresting one his goal break down per team last season in the championship should be good reading for Dundee United fans and thats about it:

Partick 2 goals

ICT 1 goal

Dunfermline 1 goal

Queens 1 goal

Falkirk 1 goal

Alloa 6 goals

Morton 3 goals

Dundee United 5 goals

Ross County 4 goals

Shankland also failed to score in the Premiership Play offs and the Scottish Cup. Im not sure its prudent to pay crazy money for him when Clark when played in the right team is probably about as good as him, especially when your new owner came in he said he wants to make a profit, splashing this kind of cash on a player who is untested in the Premiership is playing with fire. It will either come good or massivley backfire.

Alongside Moffat, El Bak scored 30 from open play in a season. Last (without Moffat)  season he scored 1 penalty and none from open play. Hopefully Shankland doesn't suffer the same downturn as that wouldn't be funny for anyone.

Got to hand it to United's coaches et al. Got the fans dancing to their tune. Reminds me of Melville when he was at Dens. 
It has that feel to it - we thought with the Harkins/Griffiths signings that we would walk the league.

How wrong we were.

If we swap Falkirk for Arbroath and Dundee United for Dundee I will be happy with that for the coming season.

If it doesn't work out after 6 months Dundee can take over his contract.

If the signing is concluded, he'll either be class or we'll be saddled with the new Lee Miller. I think most United fans have come to terms with these extremes recently, with most of our signings turning out to be utter dross.

Anyway, an attacking midfielder and we're about ready to go.

We refused to pay his club more than half of what you've apparently offered as a signing on fee. We never got to speak to the player. 
By all accounts though, he was set to tell us to f**k off.

Shankland is a jobber.

You’d better hope you have a professional, unselfish player like the Moff to help him out, or you’ll quickly discover you’ve signed a total jobber.

How long until Clark spits oot the dummy at being on the bench?

Another jobber who played for a big team, and steadily went backward.

Don’t think people realise how important Moffat was to the success of Shankland, Clark, Faissal.

I’m pretty confident that whoever we sign to play upfront now will score a reasonable amount of goals playing with Moffat.
