Souttar was sold in a hurry at the end of a transfer window. If only we’d kept our talent or spent money raised well!

The reaction to Souttar from some United fans epitomizes the culture of Scottish football. Until that changes, Scotland will remain a backward, irrelevance of a national side
I don’t think many doubted Souttar’s ability but in his final season he chucked it because he’d seen all his mates get moves while he was stuck here working under poor coaches and alongside mediocre team mates. Selling him was the right thing to do in the circumstances and if Hearts sell him, we’ll be suitably compensated.
Dundee United are very disappointed to read the derogatory and misleading statement attributed to the manager of a fellow Scottish FA member club relating to ex-United player John Souttar.
As a club, we are rightly proud of our long-standing and widely held reputation for developing young talent. John played top-level football for four seasons having made his debut under Peter Houston at the age of 16 years and 100 days.
In total, John played 73 times in Dundee United's first-team and represented his country at all age groups up to and including Under 21s during his time at the Club.
We are extremely proud that one of our youth academy graduates has now progressed into the full Scottish national team and are delighted to have played a significant part in John's development as a professional footballer. We wish John well in his future career.

Embarrassing
CL was right in what he said, instead of wasting time with this kind of statement, stick to something important, honestly week the fk is in charge of this stuff
We are a total farce when we used to be really good, where is this root and branch stuff? Not only are we stuck with Laszlo (him sacked was the statement wanted) we are stuck with shyte media and comms, all of which used to be much better a few years ago
Fair enough statement imo. Why the **** should we just sit back and let the manager of another football club make derogatory comments about ours?
Perfect response from club. Whilst Craig is probably right he should have not said that. Souttar was and is class - he learned loads even at United - good and hard times. He said so himself. But we did fail to get the kind of price we should of for him.
