Thought Police Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 The Dundee telegraph made the point that the last player we plucked from that City is about to become a Scotland international. Don’t forget Souttar was seriously out of favour at United before we basically saved his career. Not every signing needs to be an overnight success.

jamboinglasgow Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 9 minutes ago, The_razors_edge said: This is almost word for word what my Dundee supporting mate said. He also said Hartley ruined him and set his development back around 3 years. Definitely one with potential Certainly is still highly rated, has not had a great time with Dundee and injuries. The Souttar comparison is a good one. Sometimes a change of club can make a big difference, especially if that new club has a plan on how to develop them (Souttar said just after signing for us that he was really impressed when he sat down to discuss terms that we already have a detailed plan for how we would develop him.) Mix it with a confident team (which Dundee have been anything but since they were promoted) and one which quality players. Also we have depth so can drop him in and out of the team if needed. Also see the Sun say we are paying £250k for him, so to me that shows how much we believe that he is worth signing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fort Vallance Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 Looked a decent prospect 3 years ago but gone sideways/backwards. I think he got a fairly long term injury as he was interesting a few clubs. CL obviously sees potential. I'll give him a chance but Gavin Reilly springs to mind as a comparison.

Gorgie_Rules Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 Was regarded as having a lot of potential a couple of years ago, seems to have gone quiet since but could be down to injuries and manager(s) opting for more experience in attack. If we can progress him could well be a shrewd signing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems to me we’re building a squad for the next 2 or 3 years, not just this season. The odd 70-100 grand or whatever on a prospect is worth it IMO. Even if we get only 1 like Souttar in 3 or 4 the return is worth it. I also like giving young players a chance and platform - see also Mulraney just now.

TheBigO Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 Remember we nearly signed him under Robbie but Hartley brought him on as a sub which meant he wouodnt be able to play for us that season due to 3 team rule.

Too many new players and this boy is not better than what we have. Mitchell was. We're loaded. Don't worry. Probably need another option up top as well, and if he can also play wide then the jobs a good one. Young lad is also in the Scotland squad. Kind of signing we need to make when the jury is still out, if he has a great season , then he'd be out of our range and we lose out. we need to get them low in their development cycle ( or recovering form poor form i.e Souttar) before their stock is too high or we lose out to the OF or some bamed up league 1 or 2 team from down south. £100 odd k is nothing to us?

LogicalEric Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 To be fair to the laddie he’s had Hartley and McCann as his managers for the last couple of years which would ruin the best of players!

The Old Tolbooth Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 If true, I don't get this one, I've good friends who're season ticket holders at Dens and they don't rate him, we've got loads of striking options and I really can't see him getting a game other than going out on loan. I'd also say this might end interest in Sow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they could be stick-ons anyway. As much as I loved McCann as a player for us, I don't really rate him as a manager. Comes across as a bit arrogant and maybe not the type to galvanise a team and get the players onside and working for him. They shouldn't be struggling in relegation battles given their resources, they should be in the mix for making top 6 rather than trying to avoid bottom 2. I actually thought McCann would be the first managerial casualty of the season as I could see them getting off to a poor start and Dundee running out of patience, but I hadn't reckoned with the fall out at Livingston. I still think McCann will be next to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone above did mention that the Sun have mentioned a fee of around £250k, as I know nothing at all about the player I wouldn't have a clue if that is a fair reflection of his value, assuming of course that figure is either accurate or fairly close to the mark.

We were definitely going to sign him then he got a bad injury that put him out for ages. He's a very skilful and promising young player and we're the team to make him better.
