I'm the same. I just worry if he signs for another Championship club that he comes back to haunt us. Hopefully he is through the other side of his mental health issues no matter what happens. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pull My Strings Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 1 hour ago, GrantB878 said: We brought sturrock back to the club because of his knowledge of the English lower leagues, if we are not signing from there then why have we invested in this new ”scouting network”? The inverted commas is because there is none - certainly none in the 12 we have signed. The point being we have invested in a scouting network with no clear strategy or signing policy. Sturrock is chief scout, not English lower league scout. If the better players who are available aren't in the English lower leagues, where some non-league teams are paying £4k p/w, then should we forego those other options just to satisfy a perception that there's value down there? Maybe there isn't any value down there to be had. Your point was clear. I'm simply pointing out that it's based on a false premise. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do people think of Keatings? Seen a lot of fans of other clubs saying they'd be happy if they signed him. Based on his performances for us, he's absolutely garbage. He's clearly highly regarded elsewhere though so maybe last season was a blip. My concern is not just that he's been incredibly ineffective but that he didn't look like he was trying a leg. I'd be happy for him to go. Fair enough if he stays but I'd be worried if we were expecting to rely on him at any point. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest DAVIDB69 Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 Even if we get something for a short time out of these signings great, but I fear the vast majority will be utter shite 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Granny Danger Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 I haven’t seen enough of Keatings to judge him; again I reckon it’s hard judge him based upon how he’s being played and the formation. Playing in a two beside a target man may see the best of him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gbud84 Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 I've always struggled to find anything I like about Dundee but tonight I had a kebab from eastern spice in lochee and it was brilliant. Lochee's a bit of a shithole right enough and i can't decide whether to nip across and have a couple of jars in the Albert bar or not, looks a proper pub. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eastern Spice kebabs are excellent. Quite agree. Very good prices too. The Albert is the only pub I'd go in on Lochee High Street. It is what it is. A friendly, proper pub.

Your premise is that United should be signing players from the English lower leagues in preference to anywhere else. It presumes that there are players of sufficient quality available at an affordable price who are better than the guys we've signed already in Sturrock's first transfer window. It's narrow minded nonsense and simply another stick with which to beat the current regime. There are plenty of sticks available without dreaming up more. How about we give the guys who have been signed the chance to demonstrate whether or not they're worthwhile before we start greeting that the scouting system isn't working. Incidentally, those comments were made when Sturrock joined the club in a different role. We signed Mohsni on the basis of Sturrock's relationship with him. It's simply not true that we haven't signed players based on Sturrock's knowledge of the English game but it's myopic in the extreme to suggest that we should only sign players based on Sturrock's knowledge of the English game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was Falkirk still playing at Brockville back then? We were, but pretty much had all the kinks worked out, but would need to groundshare for a season while new ground was being built. We had a deal with Airdrie sorted, but we're told to f**k off by the SPL so we shared with Stenny for a season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
