Transfer Rumour Thread 21/22

If we get snodgrass that would be very good !

Like you I don’t mind Glass going on loan to get some game time

Hopefully he comes back for united next season raring to go and can perform for us

Snodgrass? that pacey wide man we've been screaming for...NOT. Be a waste of money.

Interesting to read what both the player and his new manager have had to say regarding the Declan Glass switch to Killie.

He can take the ball in tight area's and is brave on the ball,he will take extra responsibility to go and get the ball.Sometimes he gets on it too much and loses it,but i would still rather have that type of player.He wasn't one we asked about at first because we did not think he would be available.We got some encouragement when they got another couple of players in.

Glass on fighting for promotion.

I'm looking forward to working in that environment with that level of pressure>Hopefully i can relish it and put in some good performances.,


Its a pity with our lack of creativity in midfield that we do not have that type of player for the run in.

Evidence I've seen suggest keeping the ball is more important a lot of the time so Glass taking risks with possession seems to be frowned upon at Tannadice. Maybe explains why there is so much tippy tappy 'safe' passing going on. 🤔

I actually think from the players perspective if it’s a pretty good move for his development, he hasn’t missed 18 months with injuries, he will be in a team on front foot mostly so that should help, hopefully get a regular game than but parts here.

Push on next season, think people are over exaggerating his impact because due to lack of his type of player, which I know is the main bone of contention in terms of letting all our wide, and attacking players go - charmers, appere, Watson (only guy with pace). Glass Shown some flashes but could just as easy end up like appere or clambers.

Worrying thing is sounds like easing up wages has been the priority. Fair enough had we replaced them with like style instead of centre mids.

The match where he was hooked before half time (if I remember correctly) he had played a stray pass while under no pressure, lost possession when trying to hold on to the ball instead of passing , then he tried some fancy trick that didn't come off and was hooked nearly immediately. There might be some sort of "never give the ball away" policy going on there. It would explain that strangely timed substitution, it was nearly half time.

But....... if the players are being told to play things safe and not express themselves then we are going to be watching boring futba for a good while yet.

100% his lack of gametime is what he does without the ball more then anything id say

Fair enough, but you would never subbie a player just before half time for being a lazy bastirt' (IMO) you would let him know, in no uncertain terms, (at half time) in front of his team mates, that he better get his lazy erse in to gear or he is getting hooked for letting the side down.

Might be a bit of both, not tracking back, and giving the ball away too many times. If that is the case, that type of player will not make it very far in the modern game (whatever that may be these days)

True. Will be very interesting to see how he gets on at Killi cant see Del Boy putting up with stuff like that either ?
