Wowser! 5 goalies?
Feel Long & Josh Donaldson need to go out on loan somewhere but I get the feeling there's a lot of unemployed goalies out there...

Plumber talks trash shocker ;D

[bobafett]

To be honest I'll be surprised if he's still here when the window closes. We don't need 3 first team keepers.

[offshore_arab83]

If he doesnt go then we've made a right rip roaring chunt of this !

Last year number 10's, this year number 1's

[ianharab]

You wouldn't bet against it tho OA

[darrenshedtastic]

when watching the kilmarnock v ayr game on bt sport on friday at the end Michael stewart and chris sutton did mention that it seemed odd that they would sign another proven keeper as they still have jamie macdonald. and that after the performance in that game Mcculloch should be looking to strengthen elsewhere.

maybe mcculloch has thought that aswell. maybe theyve changed their mind about signing another proven keeper to look at other positions instead. they did look pretty poor on friday.

all will be revealed i suppose

[bobafett]

Yep. I'm not sure how the money stacks up but one of Bell/Mehmet plus the young laddie from Southampton would seem sufficient and possibly leave money to offer Quinn a deal, regardless of what Donaldson is doing.

[arab_pat]

I don't really see the issue, we aren't paying Lewis, Southampton are. If cammy stays he'll remain as first choice with Lewis as backup until January when he'll go back to Southampton. If he goes, Lewis will stay as first choice all season. Ether way we aren't paying all three their wages so what's the difference

[darrenshedtastic]

well either Ray has panicked and went and got replacement keepers before bell is leaving or hes lying about having heard no contact for him.
why bring in two keepers in the space of a week (even if one is only on loan) if bell isnt leaving? with the budget restrictions already in place why spend a wage on a keeper when you could go and get another player on that wage? it doesnt add up to me. either bell is leaving its just not been finalised yet and ray is lying or he panicked and signed players incase bell did leave and he hasnt.

if bell does stay then whats the point in having two backup keepers. clearly bell will still be no.1

Great post darren,now if you were to ask me who i trust between DUFC and the Plumber the middle eastern sanitary technician win's hand's doon,FACT.The keepers have been signed because Bell has said he's away but it look's to me like McCulloch has just noticed Killie are mince and he need's every area of the pitch strengthened bar his keeper's.

[GUNBOAT]

It would not surprise me if we have asked for a nominal fee maybe 30-40K but Killie want him for nothing and that is the stumbling block,that is where your provincial clubs are in Scotland in 2017 i'm afraid,there was more money in the game in the 1980's,FACT.

That's precisely my take on it Gunny....they want him...he wants to go, and United and Killie are waiting the Go-betweens to haggle terms suitable.
Theres no reason on Gods green planet that we would have signed the keepers without something going on with Bell. United playing hard ball (for a cheenge).

The usual smarmites may scoff but Plummy is right that Bell will be goine......might not be Killie but he will be gone as a value added asset.

[BudMill90]

Bell spent most of last season playing with an injury after being injured for the whole season with Rangers the year before. Good shout having two half-decent keepers as back up if you ask me.

Phuck sake. We had 3 inexperienced keepers and everyone correctly puts that down as one of the main reasons we were relegated... we then go and 3 goalies that are all potential number 1s and its moan moan moan again.

[Chick A Saw]

Its maybe the injury thats holding things up. The Killie doctor is maybe working overtime to see if Cammy is worth the gamble.

[offshore_arab83]

Are southampton paying for lewis though?

[Whitfieldarab]

The Plumber posted that Bell is away not because he had insider information but because he is of the assumption if we have a sellable asset they'll be gone, so if he goes can we please not have a "Plumber kens" thread.

Ta.

Where has he gone anyway?

Bigger fish to fry with Fans United?

Mon mate. Missing your optimism. :D

if memory serves me correct, we sent Conway and Swanson to the killie doctors as ours was no good and both were correctly diagnosed, if there is an issue with Bell, the Killie guys the man for him...

In our current financial climate do you honestly think we can carry 3 goalie's who all think they are worth the NO1 shirt,c'mon tae phuck.

[RAM1971]

Some weeks ago Middle Eastern Sanitary Technician predicted....nay, assured us that Cammy Bell was as good as gone. Few things in life are as rock solid as statements made by Middle Eastern Sanitary Technician. The 'fact' that Cammy Bell is injured must surely be a reason for the delay or otherwise of Cammy Bell. Certainty only occurs when something has come to pass. At the time Middle Eastern Sanitary Technician forewarned us, Cammy Bell's departure was an anticipated certainty. We must wait and see if events since have had a bearing on his 'desired' course of action?

I dont know. Whats why I put 'potential'

I didnt say that I did? But if Bell is injured as much as he supposedly was last year then ill be happy that we have these two goalies available instead of having to rely on Long. Yes Im surprised we now might have 3 goalies... but it still seems very likely there is a chance Bell could move. I wont slag off Ray for being prepared here.

[RAM1971]

Let me assure you there is no love in on my part with Middle Eastern Sanitary Technician. I merely recognise sound and well calculated judgement when I encounter it. I have several times thrown down the gauntlet for others to produce a proper, well presented rebuttal for any of Middle Eastern Sanitary Technician's posts (not just mere disagreement), and guess how many have stooped to lift that gauntlet?

I have absolutely no clue as to whom Middle Eastern Sanitary Technician is, other than what I have gleaned from this board. Other than the below pointers I live in complete ignorance as to his identity.

1) Middle Eastern Sanitary Technician appears to be an adult male.

2) Middle Eastern Sanitary Technician is not female.

3) Middle Eastern Sanitary Technician appears to be a sanitary technician by trade, and according to more than one poster here, is highly competent, competitive, fair and kind in pursuing his chosen occupation.

4) Middle Eastern Sanitary Technician is a long time fan of Dundee United Football Club.

5) Middle Eastern Sanitary Technician attends Tannadice (at least generally speaking) on match days.

6) Middle Eastern Sanitary Technician may or may not like rice.

7) Middle Eastern Sanitary Technician is an astute observer of the goings on at Tannadice.

8) Middle Eastern Sanitary Technician has regularly presented wise counsel to Stephen Thompson regarding his immediate future (advice which has been very unwisely ignored).

9) Middle Eastern Sanitary Technician does not appear to be from the Middle East.

10) Middle Eastern Sanitary Technician is often the victim of 'attack the messenger, not the message' tactics.

Other than the foregoing list I know nothing about Middle Eastern Sanitary Technician. He is just another anonymous guy, albeit an extremely intuitive one.

I'd have to agree with GB here. Rather Bell went now and we used his wage elsewhere

RAM, we're all guilty of it now and again but Whitfield is 100% spot on in his observation.

[weedude83]

Still not overly fussed at losing Bell.
Massively overrated. Take away his penalty saves and he's bang average.

If there's any cash on offer and a wage freed up (probably one of, if not the top earner) we should take it.
Mehmet looked good and I'm really excited by Harry Lewis. He's a massive prospect. He's played first team games and recently signed a new deal at saints.
You don't get that opportunity there if you're pish IMO.

I don't think Bell will be here much longer.
Ray maybe doesn't know if Killie have been in contact, I'd doubt he carries out transfer negotiations. That will likely be done by Thompson.
on the other side of the coin, maybe Bell has come to Ray and said he wants to go, hence Ray signing the keepers. Preparing for the inevitable.

Imagine Bell doesnt go til the final day and then we are scrambling around looking for keepers? Meltdown.

Many thanks Marine Underscore Middle Eastern Subject Four Score plus Three my good friend. Speed was never one of my main attributes, except when I was running away from a fight, so to hear that I can be swift in other areas on my life is indeed welcome.

I try to value each and every fellow Shed (aka Arabs to most others), affording them due respect irrespective of their opinions. We all need each other and we do need to echo the sentiment 'We are United' (despite our differences) as we share our common bond to Dundee United Football Club.

The other day I yet again heard a supporter of Scotland's second newest senior football club, chant the slogan 'We are the people!' Seeking an understanding of what is actually meant by this slogan (I have heard it so many times but still remain oblivious to a proper interpretation of the statement), I asked this rather vociferous person (after he had calmed down) to please enlighten me. I was met with a (the usual) blank gaze as his mind attempted mental gymnastics to come up with an understanding (again the usual). Eventually it was explained to me..'Cos we are the people. The PEOPLE!' Before I could probe further in my bid for enlightenment, he added 'And ye cannae take that away from us!'

I for one, certainly have no wish to relieve anyone of anything that I have no understanding in. The degree of clarity in his response indicated to me that it must be that this specialist brand of football supporter alone knows the meaning of the slogan and that it is something which cannot be communicated to supporters of other clubs? I thanked myself for supporting DUFC, for although we might not always live up to our own slogan, 'We are United,' at least the meaning is clear and communicable.

[tHeArAb]

Bang average? Really? Some folk need to be careful what they wish for sometimes. Mehmet couldnae get a game for Port Vale or Falkirk yet boys are happy with him over Bell? Hopefully Lewis is as good as his potential makes him.

Well done for spotting the Port Vale supporters take on Mehmet,an 11 page thread which did go way off topic but the bottom line is very few if any wanted him kept on for this season.I am not meaning to be negative but of all the keepers out of contract in the UK why did we have to go for one who is being partially held responsible for relegating his team in his 1st ever gig as a NO1?.
According to Vale fans his kicking is brutal,he is dodgy at cross balls and his shot stopping is poor,phuck only know's which games the head of football operation's watched him in.

Exactly. Worst goalkeeper they have ever seen was one of the comments. Can't believe people aren't fussed at losing Bell. Okay he made a couple of errors, who doesn't, but he was a confident goalkeeper and a great shot stopper. U always knew despite our poor back 4 that u were still in with a chance with Bell in the goals.

[TerryTheTerror]

He never had a huge amount to do but Lewis was very confident last night. Made a great block at one point and kicked with both feet.

What would Celtic fans have been thinking reading posts on here before Armstrong went?
The highest praise he got from one persistent poster on here was he played 'one good game in six'.
After a bad game in Plum's eyes it was 'one good game in eight'.
So Port Vale supporters are giving Mehmet the send-off, 'he's sh1te', cos he's away.
Similar to current posts saying Bell's not that good & won't be missed. Because he's going.
When he arrived he was rightly lauded by everyone. But have a pop at him cos he's leaving.

For what it's worth my highest praise for Cammy Bell is of our last ten goalies he is # 4.
And our current goalkeeping position is strengthened.

[Whitfieldarab]

Always liked Bell. We should be playing hardball with any team that wants him. What would we get for him? No more than £50k from a West Coast team that aren't the ugly sisters.

We've signed two 1st team goalies though so why is he still with us? Is he really injured? If so would this injury make him fail his medical at another team?

Unable to secure the no. 1 jersey at Port Vale, Falkirk and unsuccessful trials at Luton, Leyton Orient & Plymouth would suggest he's not up to much tbh.

[LSArab]

Canny saved us lots of times last season. He is at least SPL standard (so sadly above level we are at at minute). Would be madness to think we let him go.

Lewis seems good and comes with a great pedigree, I'd think he must be preferable to mehmet. Don't know why we have signed mehmet unless cammy is long term injured or off. Mehmet strikes me as potential bomb scare - at least Zwick won't be playing again!!

He is by far the best keep we have had since Pernis. I would be gutted if he left

[darrenshedtastic]

it is a good question on where people would put bell in a list of the keepers weve had since 2000
although i wouldnt say bell is the best weve had in that time but he would certainly be in the top 5 i reckon

for me the best (not in order)
Zaluska
Weaver
pernis
Gallacher
Bell

couple of keepers would be unlucky like Rado or the monk

[SmedDUm]

good to see you back on here AP and tek too.

onto the now - despite a potential well p!ssed off injury to Keatings whats your initial take on the signings? we are 3 players aways from having a vastly improved team in my opinion. Went to buckie but missed 1st game of season.

[shedboy87]

Whats the crack with him? According to Michael Stewart on BT Sport yesterday he is fit, and 15/20 mins after the game it showed you a clip of Bell on the phone not looking too happy. Ray maybe trying to get shot of him to free up wages? Looking like Lewis will be our No.1

[offshore_arab83]

Would be good to find out whats actually happening with Bell...

[RAM1971]

I suspect there has been a hitch in Bell's move to Killie or wherever. He looked dead cert to be gone. United wanted to keep him but his mind was made up. United then forced to sign two keepers............then Bell's move falls through, or has been held up? Bell is going sooner or later. Best get our two new keepers up to speed for the season, since Bell's intentions/desires have been made clear and let him worry about his future. Meanwhile he draws a big wage.

Just my humble and uninformed thoughts.

I really hope Bell was on the phone to his next manager as his wages really need to be utilized elsewhere. My fear though is that whatever injury he played through last season is a major restriction in a new club getting value for money.

[shedboy71]

I think he has an injury and that could stop any proposed move. Wish plumber would just tell us like :)

Didn't hear Stewart. I was at the game.

[GUNBOAT]

Plumber was bang on the money,there is no chance of the manager signing two keepers unless his NO1 tells him he want's to go.I have sympathy with Ray on this one as Bell has phucked up his budget,other players could and probably would have been signed if Bell's move had not fell through which is what i think has happened.

Although i expect it may be that Cammy has an injury or 2 a season which is holding this up, i would hate to think greed is playing a factor in this.

From Daily Retard
Kilmarnock have launched a raid on Dundee United for keeper Cammy Bell – after tying up a deal to sign Scotland veteran Gordon Greer last night.
Record Sport can reveal that Rugby Park boss Lee McCulloch hopes to land the ex-Killie No.1 on a free transfer after talks with the Tannadice club.
Bell is one of three names still on McCulloch’s transfer window wish-list as he bids to beef up his squad ahead of the top-flight campaign.

Greeting, im not making anything up, your on here constant trolling, no mods have took any action as its all been light hearted but its wearing a bit thin now, nothing to do with 'intolerant attitude' if that was the case shedka etc woulda been banned a long long time ago, im one of the mods who prefers a right good f ucking argument rather than ban people

Issue myself and shaded have is the fact that its our posters we need to think about, someone posts over the road giving you guys sh1te and everyone calls for them to be banned immediately, same over here 9/10 times. People can take banter and some cant. Im not seeing much banter from you to be honest, all im seeing is posts, repetitive posts on multiple threads, trolling...

i dont know logie, hes not a prolific poster, other posters arent being discussed, your constant trolling is being discussed.

Interview with Cammy Bell in the sun saying he was never told in person that he was being put on the transfer list and he hasn't asked to leave. Doesn't really matter if that's true or not but its a minter. I really do hope the person behind that genius idea is given a rocket up his arse.

This whole situation is completely embarrassing. It was bad enough when they put it on the official website but now it's on Twitter. Why not just put him up for sale on eBay and be done with it. Total cringe.

LOL - fair point that we might get more on eBay / twitter than from killie. Hope his agent has prepared the usual montage on you tube

In all seriousness though this is an absolute travesty.

One of our best players last season. Terrible we are letting him go when he's still young for a keeper and best keeper we have had for while.

Embarrassing for the club and player the way we have treated him and showing him no respect

Who gives a phuck what the Huns do? Is this due to your Unionist leanings?

United released the story through the club website after stories about Bell, presumably instigated by Bell and his agent, appeared in the Sun stating Bell would leave for free. United wanting to make the point to Killie and Bell that that is not the case. Like all stories on the website, a link is put up on the twitter account to generate more interest in the story. I bet they didn't imagine the coverage it would generate. Again Bell and his agent go running to their mouthpiece, the Sun. I fail to see how this is a phuck up? UNITED DID NOT TRY AND SELL BELL THROUGH TWITTER. For all those outraged by this, have you even looked into the truth of the story?

United being completely transparent here. Only one side telling stories.

Bell wanted to leave, signing two keepers suggests it was close to happening. Killie decide they don't want to pay a fee and this holds up the deal. United playing hard ball. That is all. Don't believe for a second that Bell is in anyway hard done by here. He instigated this. If he doesn't move, United will pay his wages. Ask yourself why he was injured so much last season? Travelling from Annan everyday might have something to do with his fitness/recovery. That cost the club in points and ultimately possibly promotion?

Hopefully he leaves soon. A good keeper but not committed to the club. Best for all parties that he moves on but less of the drama please.

[huntedbyafreak]

I think the wording of the tweet was ill advised but someone here is playing silly buggers and I'd reckon it's more to do with agents and player than United.

As for Sevco fans getting all high and mighty at it. Who cares? Bunch of knuckle dragging halfwits whose old club was sold for a pound to a complete charlatan and they applauded him in.

I agree. His agent has probably hoored him out to all of the clubs on the west coast and they're either not interested, not taking a chance on him because of his injury, not offering the same wage as us or just not willing to pay a nominal fee. Bell and the club are now left in limbo.

[TerryTheTerror]

Reading between the lines here, plumber posted saying he was away weeks ago so he'd clearly heard Bell wanted to leave at that point. Add to that the fact Bell still lives in Annan (absolute miles away by the way, almost in England FFS). Things clearly haven't worked out as Bell had hoped with our club not standing in his way (the fact we've signed two goalkeepers tells you that Ray thinks he was gone) and now he appears to be trying to make himself look good and the club bad by saying what he's said. Looks like bull**** to me, we could have told him tough cheese you are seeing your contract out. IMHO the Club have been stitched up here by the player and his agent. None of this excuses the club putting this on twitter BTW.

Sorry Joe but I don't agree with you on this. I've never heard any club list a player publicly on their club website. The twitter post was to alert people to the update on Uniteds website but that should not be on the website. It's embarrassing for the player and the club, this is our club captain FFS! If this was Dundee or the huns we would have pissed ourselves laughing and rightly so. If United wanted to clear the air on speculation then all they had to do was get Ray to go to the press and say we've had no offers and he won't be leaving for free. All transfers are done by clubs privately, I have no idea what they thought they would achieve out of this but if anything its just made us look desperate.

You say "I bet they didn't imagine the coverage it would generate", that's the phuck up. They posted on twitter "UNITED OPEN TO OFFERS FOR CAMMY BELL" what did they expect?

If united feel they need to say something on the matter then leave that to Ray.

Bell, by travelling back and forth to training everyday, means he's sitting in a motor for 5 hours a day. That canna do his muscles any good and might show why he was injured so much. Was asked and agreed to stay in Dundee a couple of nights each week to prevent this. Has not stayed once.

So he may not have asked to leave but pretty certain he's engineered it.

Just going by your aversion to independence. That would suggest logically that you are a fan of the Union, a Unionist, no?

Of course Bell and his agent are at it. Rumours that Bell wants to leave due to travel. A move to Kilmarnock is on the cards. United sign two keepers. Move stalls. United say they are open to offers. Bell is "mistified" that he is on the transfer list reported in the Sun. They are clearly at it.

All publicity is good publicity. Except Wagner doing a half time draw.

CLUB STATEMENT RE BELL.

link to website

Following on media rumours blah blah Cammy Bell free transfer, club would like to point out the player has a valuation etc, we would only listen to sensible offers.

Manager / players focused etc.. The club will make no further comment at this time.

-took me 2 mins.

FWIW, from player / agent / club, it's not been handled properly and I think last nights statement was a public f*** you.

[LSArab]

I didn't know cammy was commuting from Annan - that is a hefty commute and does make you question his long term commitment to the club.

Anyway - we have him under contract for another year and he's obviously good enough. From last season I'd happily have him as keeper for next year. If club wanted to they could have ended speculation and not bought other keepers

Strikes me that attempt by club to get whatever money can for a sellable player and replace with cheap buy / loans.

It has been mishandled. The best way to sell is through using the media - we don't want to sell have to be a good offer to consider it etc as bright side has set out.

That the thing has been blown up as it has shows united to look desperate and disrespectful.

I also think it has to be looked at in context of fire sale of any sellable talent over the last few years - any player we can sell we are desperate to get any money we can rather than managing to get players to commit to club longer term

[Hoofballer]

Not seeing why the the club's taking so much flak here, Cammy's been wanting away for months now ......because he discovered Dundee is not the next village to Annan ....doh!

Ray accepted and did something about i.e. Went and got a couple of goalies........didn't last minute panic on a sushi eating flapper who was on a three month delivery wait ( Mixed up ) or grab a couple of pub team keepers (Sackie) like before.

Clubs got this one right ....feck Cammy , his agent and the Daily Retard, The Sun( sponsored by Andrex)' ****ter and DeeCT

You're only as good as your last game ......so tattie bye Cammy, there's new kids on the block now.

Onwards and upwards.

[Sutherland Arab]

I thought Bell had been unfairly treated. Then he went greeting to the Sun newspaper.
Making out he's whiter than white, we wouldn't have signed 2 goalkeepers (one on loan) if there was no reason to suggest he wanted to leave.
Sooner he goes the better as we don't need these sideshows. Need total commitment towards promotion rather than a Cammy Bell soap opera.
However no disguising the club have made a big error with this.

This is being blown out of proportion by some. FFS how often in the past have we heard players being put on the transfer list or being allowed to leave for a fee. So the club keep supporters informed ( a usual criticism is for not doing so ) by putting it on the website. It seems these news headlines are then automatically put on the clubs twitter feed. Again keeping supporters informed.

Don't really use twitter and can understand some folk think it's wrong to have it on there but ffs chill oot and keep things in proportion. Not easy for some of our fans I accept. Also quite clear that Bell/agent/media appear to be at it.

PS Who the phuk cares what Huns have to say on anything to do with United. Irrelevant, obsessed , bigoted, bitter bstrds. That is all.

[ianharab]

Should have been handled better but good luck to him , I suspect agreement has been reached to get him off the wage bill to allow someone else to come in , here's hoping anyway

Disappointing way to end his time here, but will always have that memory of the 3 penalty saves. Thanks for that memory Cammy.

The thing with players leaving clubs is that we rarely see the whole picture. You never know who's fallen out with who and I think that happens a lot. It may have been just the commuting but at at least we're not short for keepers as a result.

[Whitfieldarab]

F uck um.

Yet another want away player that's dug his heels in and f ucked off without any compensation for us, a sellable asset that's f ucked off for free. A complete joke of a situation.

Bad business not getting an sort of fee for him. End of the day hes under contract, doesnt matter a f uck where he stays, he signed for us and should be playing for us. Really think this is a bad decision

Agreed. Never said it was a good thing and wasn't defending player or agent.
Just saying that sometimes we don't see the last piece in the jigsaw. Again not saying there is one here but it's possible.

[Giant_Jouster]

We got him for free.

He did not want to be here.

That's why we brought 2 keepers in.

We were NEVER EVER getting a fee for him.

Bye bye Cammy.

Thanks for keeping Sevco down an extra season.

Looking forward to seeing Huey and the rest of the news(ignings) on Saturday........

[Sutherland Arab]

Disappointing but glad he's away tbh.
Can move on to the more important issue of gaining promotion.
Any player not fully committed to the cause for whatever reason can beat it.
Will the club learn anything from this? Highly doubt it.

We got him for free but we should have and could sold him for a fee with him being under contract, this is a decent keeper we're on about here, its not a JMAC youtube signing, this is a tried and tested keeper with still plenty years left in him.

He didnt like the travelling, wasnt a case of didnt like it here.

Whos Huey?

[Chick A Saw]

Whos Huey?

Had you down as old enough to remember Do you Believe in (The Power Of) Love!

[offshore_arab83]

Back to the future lol

[LSArab]

Totally mismanaged.

Could have got a fee - instead of saying we'll keep him unless decent offer comes along we are broadcasting on website, open to any offers i.e we are desperate

There was no pressure to broadcast we wanted rid. While player himself and agent might secretly have wanted away to the papers he was saying he was ready to play for united - same obvious line united had to play if wanted a fee

Totally amateurish from united this

[Whitfieldarab]

Bell signed a 2 year contract.

He hasn't honoured that contract.

He is our only sellable asset.

He's f ucked off halfway through sed contract.

Contracts nowadays aren't worth the paper they're written on.

FACT.

Agreed, how no play him and let him earn a move? could we not have put him up in a hotel a few nights a week ffs?

[LSArab]

From announcement it's him departing not him joining killie.

Please tell me we haven't shelled out compo as well like we did to get rid of that other good player Paton

[Giant_Jouster]

Whos Huey?

FFS Offshore - WHOOSH!!!

THE HEART OF ROCK N ROLL is he did not want to commute 300 miles a day to play for us and who can blame him?

His HEART AND SOUL was not at Dundee United.

Ray obviously said I don't want to be STUCK WITH YOU on the bench so better you go.

If we went BACK IN TIME and got promoted he might have stayed.

In a PERFECT WORLD yes we could and should have got a fee, but I KNOW WHAT I LIKE and that is players who want to pull on the tangerine and black......see ya Saturday!!!

[IR61]

£5k a week freed up to sign other players

[JoePearson]

Club never wanted a fee. The Twitter "advert"/press release was to tell Cammy and his agent that unless he agrees to go, United are happy to hold onto him and he would have to continue to travel. Cammy therefore agrees to go, giving up circa £100k in wages which can be used to bring 1/2 players in. Good keeper but wanted to leave.

[JoePearson]

Hahaha.

Contract terminated so no wages. Same with Paton. Combo my ars.

In theory correct based on what we know. All I'm saying is we don't know everything. Say he had a fallout with the medical team Ray gets involved, maybe even ST gets involved and Bell goes two fingers on it.

Also, is it not better? maybe? to let him go quickly to free up the wage we want for bringing someone in

[Chick A Saw]

Is Hueys daughter not that Cylie Myrus

No! There would be an Achy Breaky Heart if it were! Billy Ray Virus for that one.

[LSArab]

On here before it was said by supposedly good sources that Paton got hefty compo unless Joe/ST knows better

[shedboy71]

dinnae think it was mismanaged he wanted to leave - ok website announcement was another c0ck up from management but hey ho. Liked Bell but I am led to believe we could be lining up a bit of a partnership with Southampton so if thats true maybe get some other young loan players over next few years. Onwards - done - gone - have a spare grand and a half a week for wages.

Paton got compo but not hefty

[stokearab]

No! There would be an Achy Breaky Heart if it were! Billy Ray Virus for that one.

Paton got a payout :?

[offshore_arab83]

On here before it was said by supposedly good sources that Paton got hefty compo unless Joe/ST knows better

Yeah was a big pay out

[shedboy71]

Paton got a payout :?

a sweetner - but yes he did

[JoePearson]

a sweetner - but yes he did

He didn't get a sweetener. He got part of his contract that he was due but not his full contract. Paton took less to leave early. Bell's agent bought him out the contract. Presumably he's getting a good deal at Killie.

[tHeArAb]

Club never wanted a fee.

Not according to McKinnon.


The Tannadice manager is adamant that if Bell does ultimately leave the club, there will be a transfer fee involved. "The fact is, if anyone wants to come and take our club captain, there will be a fee involved. That is the stance of the club".

[SmedDUm]

Will only be a bad decision if Huey/Denis don't cut muster Offshore & early indications are we're ok.

(Apart from Denis' Raith Rovers near-fatal assist but from what I've seen of him he'll be challenging for the No 1 shirt).

Huey could be a diamond.

[TerryTheTerror]

I think credit is due here. Relations between the player and club had hit the rocks so we have taken the sensible decision to get rid and use the money on players that want to be part of our championship bid.

[shedboy71]

Thats a sweetener to me? anyway i didnt know bells agent has bought him out - the full contract?

[Mr_Brightside]
