Fifespud Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 Don’t really see this as a massive loss. He’s largely underachieved and I don’t think he’s really looked like he was up for it. Young Fin etc can get more game time and a decent wage freed up. Money we can spend on the Fat Grass. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomGuy. Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 Tbf Dorrans isn't a TW type of midfielder. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Derry Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 He was fucking slow as shite anyway. The team has 100x more drive with big bald Chico in there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Derry Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 Hamilton Elliot McGhee Ashcroft Marshall Robertson Anderson Adam Byrne Mullen Afolabi I am not 100% certain if Anderson is a CM or CAM, but the further Gowser is from starting 11 the happier I am. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludo*1 Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 He was underwhelming, but still a class act and focal point last season. He stepped it up slightly this season but our midfield has been terribly imbalanced trying to shoehorn him and Adam together and just make Byrne do all the running. It was working, but clearly not helping other areas of the pitch. Anderson & Robertson will get more game time which is a plus and whilst Dorrans never looked well and truly a step above this league in the way Charlie Adam has, it's still a massive blow. Hopefully it's something that turns out to be a huge positive in the long run though as with his wages one would think we could get a GK & CH in AND as mentioned will mean Robertson/Anderson get more time to develop. Hard not to be sore with that one, but at least it's an area we were well covered in and there's some small shoots of positivity to take from the news. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RossBFaeDundee Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 I mean in a way this solves the "how do we play both Adam and Dorrans?" issue quite a bit. This team just feels like it's falling apart before our eyes though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigmouth Strikes Again Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 Don't let the door hit your arse on the way out Graham. Thank you. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RossBFaeDundee Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 (edited) A clearer image of what our best midfield is, wages freed that should be able to sign a good keeper and/or center half... f**k it, telling myself this is a great thing for us.

This Charming Man Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 (edited) Positive news regarding Graham Dorrans departure, new goalkeeper now hopefully? Tried to do his close friend a good turn. Nowt wrong with that tbf, however when he was clearly never interested from day one, I'm not sure he did James McPake any favours whatsoever. Compare the application of Sir Charles so far, that's the benchmark required when you possess a talent a little bit above shall we say the level you're currently playing. It's a proud thing being an operative of limited ability performing to your best, Graham Dorrans was neither of these at Dens Park. Run along Graham, you won't remain long, if at all in our Dark Blue memories. Edited November 8, 2020 by This Charming Man 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derry Alli Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 If we sign a quality keeper then it's great news. Was a class act at times but with Adam the midfield would be far too slow with both in there. Thanks for your efforts Graham. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EpicMike Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 If we didn't have Adam this would be terrible news, as it stands it's a chance to direct some wages to other areas of the park and play more youth in midfield. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarbellaDEE Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 The biggest worry has to be Adam getting injured. We would be in a considerably worse position (unbelievably) without him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dee Bliss Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 Don’t give McPake a penny of Dorrans wages. Punt him now and it gives the new manager a couple of wages to play with. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This Charming Man Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 Not really that difficult to draw a comparison at Dens Park between ex Scotland players Graham Dorrans and Charles Adam. Both also former (old and new) Glasgow Rangers and had both performed with distinction down south, however there the similarity ends from my experience. One, when all's not been going to plan, shrugs the shoulder all too often and makes a facial expression with disdain, the other accepts the colleagues around him and attempts to make good again the situation. Respect Charlie. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
