Probably had an interview previously arranged with Amazon, currently seeking to recruit around 7000+ nationwide. 47 minutes ago, RossBFaeDundee said: Is it just me that thinks that it'd be an utter arseache for him to have to fight to get his ideal home built in Scotland a couple of months ago, before then deciding to head down to Buckinghamshire? From personal work experience, never a pleasant experience liaising with the local council Building Control, lol. Dorrans maybe does require some distance after that quagmire. I hope not, him and Charlie Adam would be extremely effective together, especially the following season in the top league.

The 3 centrehalfs can be improved on, just not with some suggestions I like the positivity. Roll on the season 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crawford Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 As it stands (no Adams), what is our best starting XI? Formation too. (Hint if it isn't 3-5-2 you're wrong) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was in all the induction day videos for the first team at the start of the week so I'm suspecting it's the former, unfortunately! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mvondo_the_great Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 (edited) Have been hearing the Adam deal is as good as done lads. It's sticking point is whether it's going to be 12 or 18 months. He will become top earner at Dundee by a huge margin but a local businessman is providing the club with a soft loan to cover it and you have 3 years to pay it back so it's affordable. Not many clubs in Scotland could afford this wage without assistance apparently. Sure he will do well there.

Pretty much exactly how I had it (Posted this on the Dundee forum about 2 weeks ago, apologies for the formatting): We'll be going for a 3 at the back system IMO. We're not finished our business so the valid point that Cobra rightly brought up will be less of an issue come opening day I suspect. (I base this on the fact that ICT beat us to signing Robbie Deas who is a CH). Obviously, that's not the point of the thread and it's based on right now, but I think it'd be more interesting to look at what will be our team for the season rather than right this second but still using the players we currently have. I'll go for: Ferrie Ashcroft -- Forster -- McGhee Elliott Marshall Dorrans McGowan Byrne Jakubiak ---- Mullen I expect if we don't sign another keeper that Hamilton will start in goal, but I can't see him being number 1 for long as he's such a liability so it'll be sink or swim time for Ferrie. Robertson will be a massive player for us this season and rack up 20-odd games but he's interchangeable with any of the current 3 I put in as all 4 will make a good few appearances this season. If Ness is anywhere near fitness and not completely done as most suspect, then he's another quality addition in midfield. We have good back-up for the wing-back positions in Cammy and McDaid (Who played his best stuff at LWB IMO even if it isn't his natural position). A goalkeeper, a CH and a back-up striker and I think we're golden tbh. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RossBFaeDundee Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 Same formation, but Hamilton in goal (though I might as well write 'new GK' instead, considering my faith in either goalie), McDaid in the LWB position over Marshall. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surprised at that. Thought Marshall was a shoe-in (Well, battling it out with McGhee)for PotY before he picked up his injury. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Idk if Marshall even played in that 3-5-2 formation, so I'm currently going for McDaid as he performed well in that position going into the break. The friendlies/LC games will let us get a better idea of who is best for the position though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marshall played in it against Dunfermline where 5 minutes in you could see we were going to get blown away by them but McPake decided to wait until two down to change it. It wasn't really Marshall's fault but I don't think he has either the pace or engine to work as a LWB. I'd rather play Kerr RWB and Christie LWB than McDaid though. I'm advocating Kerr getting on the park, that's how badly I do not want McDaid playing LWB (or at all, if possible tbh). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
