Reggie Perrin Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 I don't know of any specific issues, but the general impression was that he never really settled here. He looked happy enough in the summer but as the season progressed you kind of got the impression there was a big black cloud above his head. I thought it stood out a mile in his final appearance up at Montrose where he was probably the least effective of our midfielders.All about opinions!I thought he played really well at Montrose. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
champions Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 He must have been a dick/lazy sod behind the scenes if mcshane was being selected ahead of him. It's all a bit weird how he was very rarely played. Overall disappointed how this worked out, thought he totally bossed us in the game against morton towards the end of the season, and really thought he'd be the main man this season. Hopefully he has another club lined up and we didnt have to pay him too much to go. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BountyBairn Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 He wanted away and wasn’t wanted. Easy transaction. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BountyBairn Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 (edited) He worked for us down to sheer determination, his actual football skills were fairly average. But every fan at any club, will always take to someone who tries like they would if they were playing for their team. A little in the Vaulks mold but Vaulks also was a baller.

Yeah I thought he was good for us, tried like a bear and showed some quality also. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some players can make more money combining part time football with a standard full time job. A chap I used to work with did the match reports for hamilton, he said that mark McLaughlin was in that situation, there was no point going full time as he wouldn't make the same money being a full time player compared to being part time and combining a full time job. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bairn88 Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 Nelson seems to have struggled at Dundee, which definitely isn’t a great sign, but the thought of a Nelson McManus front 2 is definitely making me a bit excited 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShaggerG Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 Apparently Nelson's currently injured but has been played out of position mostly when he has played. I'd love to see him back but I think he's too similar to Sammon. Wonder if Dundee would consider a swap deal? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's been a few sinister rumours going about Nelson as well, but I can't see us allowing him to leave tbh. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marshmallo Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 If there is anything in the budget then we should be using it to bring in a left back to back up Dixon. If Dixon gets injured who's playing left back from the current squad? Gary Miller? Ben Hall? Gomis? The ghost of Graham Bowman? -3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sammon's attributes are pace and power. For me, Nelson's definitely a better player though. We currently have McMillan, McManus, Longridge and even Lee Miller available up front who are all very different players to either Sammon or Nelson. What do you mean by 'sinister' BTW? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Money's tight so, ideally, a left sided defender who can play LB or LCB. Someone in the mould of Patrick Brough maybe (not him though, obviously.) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ludo*1 Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 The allegation was that he liked more than just a drink at the weekend and got caught by the club. Hopefully it's a lot of shite, as I like him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
