Transfer rumour thread 20/21

Butcher as a midfielder too slow and no savvy for this league
Jury still out on Harkes but losing patience tbh.

I'm glad someone else is able to see what I was shouting about last season. These two are just not good enough imo.

It’s all about opinions. ;-)

I like harkes, he can be frustrating however in our best games he’s often been one of our top three players. He’s had to shift role frequently and has adapted well, albeit a couple of goals would tip him forwards, literally

Butcher is still work in progress, nonetheless he has played a huge part in getting us to were we are now, IMHO his best years in this league are still to come: Dillon showed how attitude and application can add a level of performance and my money is on Butcher doing the same. Like Davie Bowman hope to see him around Tannadice for years to come.

Butcher is being exposed badly through no fault of his own. Now we are playing against better players it's important that when the ball goes beyond the back 5 we can hold it and start to create. The players in front of Butcher can't do that and as a result the pressure comes straight back onto the defence.

The combination of Pawlett Harkes and whoever else is selected alongside them isn't strong enough. I'm not saying they're bad players but to hold our own in this league we really need to add some better quality in there. I've been very critical of Harkes and I stand by that based on what I've seen last season and this season but if we could add a quality partner beside him he will be a much better player for us.
