The Holiday Song Posted July 19 Share Posted July 19 4 minutes ago, Pull My Strings said: Without wishing to rationalise too early in the process, I wonder if the centre forward needs to have pace in this system or whether he will primarily be acting as fulcrum (sorry) for the two wide attackers to play off. Trapanovski looks like he'll be happy to run behind, and Fotheringham already makes those sorts of runs. I can see the centre forward, dropping deep to link play and then arriving late to finish things off. That might work. What Jort! will bring is a much needed ginger to the squad and a bearded ginger at that. You really can't go wrong with a beardie ginger (contrary examples strictly not invited). Always enjoy football fans trying to rationalise stuff (I do the same)! Tbh, that probably could work with Van der Sande. Technically fine and had some decent finishes last season. Re: the gingerness... he plays internationally for Caribbean nation Bonaire. After international breaks was more worried he was going to be unavailable after severe sunburn than any physical knock. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If all United needed was a big 6ft plus bearded ginger I would have been a shoe in! Might pull the boots back on. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gibby82 Posted July 19 Share Posted July 19 'Towering striker', according to the Courier, is about 6 ft minus change. Bang on average for a Dutchman . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Gus Posted July 19 Share Posted July 19 (edited) Guys fair play for this Dundee united talk in the Dundee united thread but I'm back for more cost of living tips and recipe advice. Went for porridge and bananas, soup and a sandwich and some sort of fucked up ragu that I've now got to eat for another 5 teas. Shat a topper this morning.

Who knows might bring in that also Just for reference this isn’t imminent but Jim definitely is looking for that profile……could need bodies out the door first! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Der Panzer Posted July 19 Share Posted July 19 10 hours ago, WhatDayIsIt said: Not a hard worker enough to play as an 8, not skilful enough to play as a 10. Although things may have changed in the past 5 years. Kinda where I was with it - kinda a 6/10 most weeks capable of the odd 9/10 performance? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a well known homophobic slur, use it or anything similar again and I’ll report it. I’m sure your capable of making your point without stooping to such levels. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
