VinnyPar Posted August 3, 2023 Share Posted August 3, 2023 Of course we'd take him l but there's a 0% chance we can afford his wages. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DA-go Par Adonis Posted August 3, 2023 Share Posted August 3, 2023 I'm not suggesting we'd sign him, but he doesn't have any wages at the moment. Based on that, Dundee Utd couldn't have afforded him as he used to earn £25k per week at Sheffield Wednesday. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steven Fletcher WTF Has said twitter page ever revealed anything of any substantial credibility before? A.K.A. Something that then actually happened afterwards? I’ll sit up straight and take notice if so, otherwise I’m gonna continue to bite my tongue until the pen gif comes out (it’s quite sore hurry up pars ffs) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAFC. Posted August 3, 2023 Share Posted August 3, 2023 Think it’s just nonsense tbh. Fletcher would be incredible fettle for Wighton, but there’s no chance of it happening. If Mehmet is injured also, then I am fucking done with season 23/24 already! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes the energy crisis will be hitting hard but the same excuse is trotted out everytime. According to the Bank of England £22 in 2019 is £26.83 today. https://www.bankofengland.co.uk/monetary-policy/inflation/inflation-calculator What in the club's cost base isn't impacted by inflation? I'm not saying Dundee Utd are reasonable BTW. They're a clear outlier in terms of the league. I think most clubs are offering good value, especially for children's season tickets. But over time clubs need to pass on some cost increases to customers, as with all businesses. Saying they can't ever charge £27 would be like saying 30 years ago they couldn't ever charge £17. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Toun Clock Posted August 3, 2023 Share Posted August 3, 2023 Aye absolutely zero chance of Fletcher I wouldn't think, but thought it worth sharing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DA-go Par Adonis Posted August 3, 2023 Share Posted August 3, 2023 Dorrans playing in the Scottish 7th tier and Griffiths playing in the Australian 3rd tier. I guess if you want to keep playing, you go where your current abilities take you and have to accept the going rate at that level. Would Fletcher have any option in Scotland above Championship level? If not, he's got to go elsewhere or retire - and he might not want to do either. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don't seem to have any rumors correct as of yet therefore will be taking the Fletcher and Wotherspoon rumours as gospel and doubting the Mehmet injury rumor 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aidan Posted August 3, 2023 Share Posted August 3, 2023 13 hours ago, The Toun Clock said: Noticed Shaun Byrne didn’t feature in a Dundee B game tonight, Sharp did play. 4-0 win over Buckie @ Forfar. Max Anderson another who was rumoured to be leaving did feature. Sharp played pretty well for the most part, can remember one cross which he completely flapped at that somehow Buckie didn’t end up scoring and another occasion where either he completely fell asleep or there was a miscommunication with his defender but he really should have came out to collect an easy ball that was rolling in to the box and better opposition would have punished him. Made a number of good saves though and distribution was fairly decent. Max Anderson was one that stood out for me, his footballing intelligence was just miles ahead of anyone else on the park. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CallumPar Posted August 3, 2023 Share Posted August 3, 2023 Would expect Sharp and Wotherspoon to be announced soon. Can’t see the Fletcher rumour being remotely true, but he’d be an exceptional signing if we managed to pull it off. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DA Baracus Posted August 3, 2023 Share Posted August 3, 2023 So what's happened to Mehmet? Did he drop a vase on his foot? Twisted a thumb? w****r's elbow? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Signing Shaun Byrne doesn't mean we can't sign some more forward minded players. The right ones just haven't became available yet. I did notice Byrne didn’t play for Dundee B either last night and theirs been rumours circulating on our thread and on twitter (recently) that were in for him and he wants the move, it’s just down to Dundee if they want to release him or loan him out 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will have to see how it pans out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
