The Internet Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 So to sum this thread up: People who know a bit about him - 'good prospect, could be a very good signing' People who've never heard of him (somehow) - 'no thanks. Underwhelmed' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McCrae Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 Sounds like he maybe a good prospect.... but don’t see him as a direct replacement for KL. Hopefully we sign another striker before the window closes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Souttar is the same age and has had two serious injuries in the last 3 years yet we value him at 7 figures. I think it’s a bigger risk bringing more unknowns onto the wage bill. I’ve no issue with us paying 6 figures for this lad if we believe he is going places. More of an investment than a necessity buy, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hearts 4 the cup Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 Considering how successful our foray into the transfer market has been this summer, we should put some trust into the club on this one. There are similarities to souttar in the sense that it's a young guy who's starting to stagnate at his club. Got a good feeling about this one. Happy days!

Rudy T Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 Dundee fans in the majority are disappointed to lose him. Feeling is he’s got bags on talent but needs a good club for him to fulfil his potential. Wighton Burns Souttar Cochrane McDonald Morrison Keena its a lot of talent coming through.

mscjambo Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 Seems like a player who has lost his way in a struggling team, not unlike a certain John Souttar. The boy knows the league but maybe needs a step up to train with better players etc...Levein has not faltered in his pursuit of the boy and he's at a good age. Hopefully it comes off.

Unbelievable how much the lack mentality is on here if you have a different view, 4 people now have had a go at me for expressing an option on a player which is different from the mainstream. When I have seen him he has been lacking in awareness and intelligence of movement. He has pace and desire which will help but I just don't see him making it. Apologies if this annoys people.

wavydavy Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 He seemed destined for the top a year or two back. He seemed to have pace and was very tricky until his injury. I am a bit surprised we are paying a six figure fee for him assumjng that is true but it will be interesting to see how the lad gets on. Sometimes a change of club can work wonders lets hope this is the case here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TexasAndy Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 Don't know much about him so have to trust the club on this one. As with any new player he will be judged in a maroon jersey.

I know that we tried to get him about 18 months ago but I think Dundee tied him onto a longer contract. He always looked pretty good when he was played out wide. I think Dundee tried him as a striker at one point and I don't think that really enhanced his game. An interesting addition if we do pick him up and it shows that we are looking at young Scottish talent where possible. Levein has a habit of surprises that turn out to be gems. Hopefuly this will be another one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kickback is all about opinions and yours is as valid as any other. It's difficult to judge a player on a few occasions example in case big Uche at Dunfermline he was pretty ordinary and any Pars fan seeing him would say well he's not very good.

It's a forum, what did you expect? Wighton is a guy we have tracked for ages and we have now made a move in the last year of his contract.

Hampden Demolition Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 Decent potential but isn’t going to get us enough goals between now and January when Vanecek comes in.

Lord Beni of Gorgie Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 My thoughts Probably a decent player in there Not a standing dish in the Dundee team Reported 250k, they must be delighted (really hope Callachan is going the other way to allay some of the fee) But it could turn out to be a bargain, Dundee are a bit of a mess, perhaps needs a club like ourselves to get the opportunity to thrive in that position.
