colliedug Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 Erskines coming home! Signed a pre contract! 3 year deal but we're trying to agree a fee to get him now.good news that'll give us the attacking midfielder we've been lacking so much and also previously said about linking well with dools is bang on 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuctifano Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 Not going to go full on buzz killington but he really wasn't that great in his loan spell 2 years ago, hopefully the fact he improved markedly last season for United is a better indication of being able to cope at this level. Reasonably hopeful we'll get him before the window shuts , especially if United get a couple of other players in. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbh I only remember him scoring against Hibs (nice goal, too) - think he got 1 other goal but cant remember who it was against. Him, Lawless and Doolan as a front three would be pretty darn sweet. All naturally left footed too! Sure I heard in the commentary of Dundee Utd - Celtic that Erskine had won a POTY award at Dundee Utd too so really pleased to see him back.

Ad Lib Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 If we're bringing him in before the close of the window, I'd have thought it would be because we'd moved Stevenson on rather than because of any deal involving Bannigan. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure I heard in the commentary of Dundee Utd - Celtic that Erskine had won a POTY award at Dundee Utd too so really pleased to see him back. He was brilliant vs Motherwell away in the game where Higgy was also brilliant but we lost 4-3 after subbing both of them, he was very good in the Hibs 3-1 game, butthere was a lot of pish as well (St Mirren away stands out) to the extent he was dropped towards the end of the season. BT sport said when he came on tonight he was the DUFC supporters federation POTY for 14/15 Just hope this isn't us spending the Banzo money before it comes. We've spent nothing yet- he might still do a Richie Brittain... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrcat1990 Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 Usually wake up with a pointless bonk on, but at least I woke up to material to make use of it. As happy as I am about this news I remain sceptical if he's alot better than our best options at present. He's obviously superior to Amoo and Stevo, but if we're to truly push on we should be looking for players more talented than those who are our best peformers. Maybe I'm just being unfair as we're now a millionaire backed super team. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P45 Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 It'd be great if we could get him now. He'd go straight into the team ahead of Amoo. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P45 Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 If we can't get him early then we should show a picture of him signing a contract with us before the end of the season. Preferably before United are relegated. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bad chad Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 Can't imagine Dundee Utd will be wanting a player that's just signed a PCA with a possible relegation rival hanging around. Probably want us to pick up the remainder of his contract so they can get another body in. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
