No idea about him, can't remember him in the games Iv'e seen Dundee play, although he missed most of last season with a dull one- cruciate ligament. Young lad tho, and represented Scotland at yooof leavels a fair bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wighton a fantastic young talent when breaking through(like Souttar) but seems to have lost his way(like Souttar) this could be the move to reignite Wighton’s career again.

Romanov Stole My Pension Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 I don't know much about this guy. Dundee are notorious under McCann for creating plenty of opportunities but not being able to finish them which makes me a week bit worried. Can someone reassure me?

Bauld Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 While attending Harris Academy, Wighton was snapped by Dundee under the management of Barry Smith, the team he supported as a boy.[1] He came through the same training clinic, run by Ian Cathro, as fellow Scottish prospects Ryan Gauld and John Souttar. Wighton revealed he turned down a move to local rivals Dundee United, as his family are Dundee supporters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ibrahim Tall Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 Odd one, had potential a few years ago but seems to have been injured more than fit lately.

RobNox Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 I presume if this is true, then the Sow deal is off. The guy sounds like he could be a decent prospect. From the article, it seems that Dundee are prepared to offload him because they've signed 38 year old Kenny Miller. That sounds like great long term planning, no wonder Dundee are in such a mess!

JJ93 Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 Sceptical. Hardly prolific. Not a replacement for Lafferty. Get Vanecek in now or Sow. Or buy this guy too but 6 figures????? really??? Am I missing something? If I am, please tell me. I know sometimes players like this turn out great but he has scored 8 goals in 80 games or something like that. If he does join us, I will fully support him but I am surprised. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victorian Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 Not prolific but he's played a decent number of games for a 21 year old who's been out injured for a while. Young enough to turn out to be a Gary Wales or Andy Kirk sort of signing. Hopefully better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
