I hope we aren't going with a young team, we need some experience in there too. Just to spur them on a bit. I know it was successful for Falkirk, but they had some older guys to push them on.

Agree. I think your need some older heads in the dressing room to calm folk down and keep a more professional and mature attitude about the team.

Wighton should be a great signing. Chuffed with that one.

This deal will suit all parties,Craig will come back to Dundee a better player hopefully having gained a bit more experience in what is a tough league.....very intelligent player, you will enjoy watching him.

We have McGurn, Thomson, Barr, Anderson, Stewart and McCord most of whom will probably start.

My only concern with Wighton is he'll play a similar role to Vaughan and I wanted to see him start the season as first pick.

Wighton is probably a better player though, so I suppose there's that...

Yeah it would be a shame if Vaughan lost out. If Wighton is a better player then the team on the whole benefits though I suppose.

If Wighton isn't a first teamer expect a lot of seething Dundee fans going tonto.

Should have seen the reaction when he joined Brechin on loan!

He's very much held up in some sort of 'chosen one' status.

Wighton is an utterly fantastic footballer. A genuinely scary talent. The only thing is, we don't 'accomadate' his type in Scotland. Think of Ryan Gauld a little further forward. He's too lightweight though. I've read he's on his own fitness/gym routine to build him up though so hopefully that will help.

Hyperbole like this is probably not that helpful, expectations will be too high from the start. If he doesn't go off like a firecracker, then we will be disappointed, and you guys will almost certainly take the huff and regret the loan.

Just watched this boy, Craig Wighton, on You Tube scoring at various levels, from SPL to Development League.

He is very coll headed and also intelligent on the ball. I think he could have an immense impact at Stark's.

As for concerns re'Vaughan, of whom I'm a fan, I think they will compliment each other onfield.

We could have a few more penalties coming our way in the new season, I think some of the bigger defenders are gonna have their hands really full with these two, plus Mark Stewart!! :thumsup2
