Rovers1992/1993 Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 Was it all upfront though? Surely will be. Hopefully get another couple of players in to bolster the squad with the money.. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottydog Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 Surely has to be a decent replacement with the wages (Toshneys) and another guy from the transfer fee. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ding Dang Doo Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 Finally can the "we love you Ray" chat be put to bed. Some of the posts on here after he left were cringey and anyone who thought we were anything more than just another job for him needs to have a reality check. Disappointed with the way Toshney has acted here and I think we can all agree that the "illness" of last week was a load of bull. If you're given the fans Player of the Year you don't treat the club like he has done. Having said all that if we have got £85k for a 24 year old player with a year left on his contract and who we only signed a year ago then United have lost it. Cannot wait now until 27th August to give absolute pelters to the pair of them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raithie Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 I'm sure there were! Deary me, we were always just a job to McKinnon just as we are just a job for the majority of the players. There's no loyalty in football, especially for a club of our size and position within the realms of Scottish football. In fact we're probably the ideal stepping stone for a lot of people be that players or managers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sergie's no1 fan Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 They're not. It's only £93K That's worth 3 players on £600 a week, decent wage at this level! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Broken Algorithms Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 Best of luck to both of them. While I'd loved to have kept Toshney, that figure is realistically one we can't turn down considering we signed him for hee haw. Connolly never looked like returning but I thought he was a class act and had a very good number of assists and goals. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael W Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 If we really have got £85k then Dundee united have been utterly mugged off. I expected about £30k tbh. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scary Bear Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 Whenever we have a good season we lose players, usually for buttons. That's just how it goes. The paltry sums involved show where the Scottish game is financially. From memory we paid Forfar £57k for Brewster and that was 25 years ago when we were a middle of the table First Division team. Now we receive £85k (if it was that much) for our Player of the Year who made the Championship Team of the Year. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raith Against The Machine Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 Is anyone actually going to Forfar tonight? I'd like to hear about some actual football for a change. As for Toshney, it sounds like a decent bit of business for everyone involved. Toshney has furthered his career, United have got a good player for this level, and we've brought money in for a player we'd likely have lost for buttons in pretty much any other situation. As we all know, players hold all the power. I hope Lewis Toshney is over his illness, because he'll want to hit the ground running at Tannadice. There's no sense in keeping a player against his will, not only do you likely lose the commitment of that player, but footballers at this level aren't likely to sign for a club that they think might stand in their way if a good offer comes along. Being a selling club is a lot better than being a giving-away-for-free-at-the-end-of-every-season club. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pub car king Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 If we have been paid the full amount it's decent business. If we're agreeing to some shite like 10k and the rest when he's played a thousand games they can f**k right off. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grumswall Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 He hasn't really furthered his career at this point. He has most likely made a financial gain out of this move which is fair enough. I actually thought bene was the better cb last year so am not overly fussed he's off for the apparent fee. Maybe now see connelly sign as his replacement. It does annoy me that locke brought in Johnstone and potentially connelly and Templeton who are all looking to prove themselves after injury. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
