Scotch Posted 31 January 2021 Share Posted 31 January 2021 Agree with loaning him back. Loan them Nelson for a few seasons too, get them sharing bunkbeds and becoming BFF's. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post urban.spaceman Posted 31 January 2021 Popular Post Share Posted 31 January 2021 My grandad was from Dundee and supported United. He'd tell me stories of watching them play with his pals and if the match ended earlier, they'd scurry across the road to watch the last few minutes of Dundee FC play to cheer on the opposition - his stepdad worked on the turnstiles and would let them through (this was the 1930s when such skullduggery was easier). One thing I inherited when he died about 20 years ago was a huge, ridiculous Dundee United umbrella shaped like a baseball cap. IF we sign this kid and he becomes a superstar I promise to bring that umbrella to every single match. For that senti(mental) reason I'm in. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LCCFox96 Posted 31 January 2021 Share Posted 31 January 2021 More than happy to take a punt on a 17 year old CB who has already broken into first team in a top flight division. We should be all over youth prospects like these with facilities now available at Seagrave. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe if he were a few years older but 17 is proper young. I think you want him at Seagrave with Rodgers and Toure drilling him up to the standard we've seen Soyuncu and Fofana reach.

Scotland But what he does have are a very particular set of skills; skills he has acquired over a very short career. Skills that make him a nightmare for people like you. If you let us sign him now and not mention a farmers league, that'll be the end of it. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not United, but on the back of that story, you might be interested in the book, In Search of Alan Gilzean, who of course played for Dundee before joining Spurs. Excellent read. Lots of great tales of Dundee and Scottish football in the late 50s/early 60s and an interesting take and account of a hugely talented footballer.

I know that’s the way of the football world. Not really. He may not have hit the heights we all wanted him to, but he sure as hell contributed during our title win, CL run and various other points. Not to mention some of the most emotional goals in the clubs history. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerard Posted 1 February 2021 Share Posted 1 February 2021 3 hours ago, Sly said: ...... Scotland By the co-efficients Scotland is the 11th strongest league in Europe ahead of countries like Turkey and you wouldn't see anyone moaning if we signed a 17yo Turk who is playing top flight football. Lots of very good footballers have come out of Scotland over the years. It's just a tired cliche that Scotland is a vastly inferior league. It has two huge football clubs and a population of 5 million, you're always going to get some small clubs in the SPL to make up the numbers but that's the same in most leagues. England is different because any club who manages to get promoted to the EPL is now automatically a pretty big club because of the new found finances. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wasyls Pec Deck Posted 1 February 2021 Share Posted 1 February 2021 When I saw his name I was reminded of Neil Lewis, and a shouty woman who was behind me at Arsenal away in 94-95 who I think wanted to throw her knickers at him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think their matches were staggered because the Dundee clubs are still both on literally the same road. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
