I thought he was a coup when you signed him and he always impressed me more than Freeman certainly did. Has he always been shite for you or did he just turn to shite over night? Liam Smith is the epitome of a very average player. Is never particularly shit or good. Personally, I rated him higher than Freeman, but can't say I'm bothered he's away. He'll probably end up at a bottom-six Premiership side. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoveRangers1922 Posted May 30, 2023 Share Posted May 30, 2023 I wonder if Pawlett could be enticed back up to Aberdeen to play for us. Fair drop but his family all live up here in Banchory and isn't getting any younger albeit he could easily find a Championship club 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’ll still have the usual cohort of Sainties weirdos, sadly. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MenstrieSaint Posted May 30, 2023 Share Posted May 30, 2023 I can see at least three ex St Mirren players ending up at Tannadice for next season . I'm a betting man and see Dundee United as certainties for promotion next season . Can see Dunne and Shaunessy being at Tannadice maybe Tait , and maybe Hladky . Think Goodwin will have a team with lots of muscle and a strong spine that will allow young players to break into the team and progress . I'm guessing Dundee Uniteds budget will be the biggest in the championship by quite a bit . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I've always thought he was absolutely shite. Can't stop a cross and offers nothing going forward. Think there's an element of fans that still have PTSD from Stewart Murdoch which explains why they think Smith isn't terrible. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tannadeechee Posted May 30, 2023 Share Posted May 30, 2023 9 hours ago, Pull My Strings said: Newman certainly doesn't look ready to be second choice so if he's staying then it should be as third choice at best. Is that enough for him? I think it might be better for all concerned to let him find another club at a level more suited to his current ability and concentrate on bringing in a number 1 and experienced back-up. Ruaridh Adams can step up to third choice. Remember we still have Saku who'll be returning from being on loan in Denmark, unless he can get another club. Still Finish no 2 and will still be highly thought of in Sweden. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
invergowrie arab Posted May 30, 2023 Share Posted May 30, 2023 Newman is likely getting paid about 13 quid a week so would happily keep him and loan him out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tait and Shaugnessy potentially could go for regular football, they are 100% the type of players United need, committed leaders and organisers. Dunne thinks he's better than he is but is still likely to get a gig at League 1 in England. No chance Hladky will end up at United, may have been an outside chance if they stayed up but he will not want to be playing in the Scottish Championship. I suspect he'll also go to a League 1 English side. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a point when Eriksson seemed to be an even worse keeper than Birighitti (if such a thing is possible). Whether one is marginally better than the other is almost irrelevant: even to be in that conversation should be enough to see both of them leave immediately. I think they'll both go and my preference would be for all three to go. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For whatever reason I can't shake the idea he's had a bad rub of it and may deserve another chance. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In any event, the very fact that someone feels the need to analyse which one is better should be sufficient to tell us that Eriksson is not good enough. "Arguably less shit" than the worst goalkeeper in the club's history is not what we should be aiming for.
