Transfer Rumour Thread 21/22

Yes, he can be a fanny, an unabashed Jambo fanny at that, but nevertheless he did wax lyrical about Tam's Tots.
Or is it Courts' Kids?

Tam Courts Kids just sounds like a newspaper headline that nobody wants!

I see the post from Jedi differently in that Dunfermline are making yet another good signing for their level to try to obtain their promotion objective while we have made 2 signings to stay where we are at best. I read nothing about missing out on Dorrans whatsoever!

Just goes to show, it doesn't actually matter what you write. 😂

It's the way I read it as well. Ambition.

Tams tots if that is indeed our secret master plan is a colossal risk bordering on negligence and one which astute owners would not make unless they were getting bad advice.

Step back for a minute everyone and ask yourself whether TA gets a chunk of commission for each Academy player sold.
Maybe all players sold.

The reason for retaining a lot of senior players who should be away is that he wants them, needs them, to balance the amount of youth that's about to play Premiership football week in week out. Risky risky strategy.

On the plus side, if there is one, it's a great chance for Chalmers Hoti and Mochrie to shine.

Possible but if think it highly unlikely such a detail will surface given our recent history.

I don't think it's inherently a bad thing to incentive based on this per se as long as enough senior players are also around. This is what seems to be happening at the moment I'd say.

My previous post may have been badly written but Chick and Stoke read it the way it was intended.! I'm in no way suggesting we should've signed Dorrans but showing a bit more ambition to improve would be a start..

I had similar last week when I quoted a BBC headline saying that some defender by the name of 'Kelly' was Livingstone's 12th signing of the summer. Some folk seemed to think I was suggesting that we should have been in for the boy Kelly, when I was actually highlighting the fact that Livi have signed 12 players this summer.

Some on here reckoned that our transfer activity might have picked up at the turn of the month due to contracts running out at the end of June - well first of all, it didn't stop other teams getting their act together and getting players in early and we certainly haven't seen an increase in signing activity at Tannadice since then.

Given management indicated they hoped to add some players, if we don’t get anyone else in or compound it with some panic buys that has to go down as a major failure by the recruitment section. Funnily enough it was one area I was quite hopeful of for this regime, given Ashgars background.

Far gone are the days it seems when scottish clubs could pick up a proven pro from the Dutch league. There must be some markets out there. It seems most the teams in the spl shop from the same poundstore.

This is where we're getting carried away a wee bit just a tad. Yes we need signings but Dorrans was slow and ponderous in the Championship never mind the Premiership and was completely owned by Butcher in the Derby at Dens. Why on earth should we be disappointed about missing out on him?????????

Correct, he was utter crap for most part at dens by all accounts, he has signed for his level now, he is passed his best, decent ability but not what a prem side needs..Butcher dominated the first two derbys, the one at dens especially against Dorrans, McGowan and Byrne

Yes I know he scored in the third derby, a good finish although afforded so much time to pick his spot and tbf we were pretty poor that night and way below the level we had showed prior

I give up.!!!🙄

It's ok, we know you didn't mean we should sign him just giving my opinion on him on the back off james post...Good to think about those dominant derbies, Hope that is OK with you?

I wonder when the window shuts if we will have made any signings, I think yes
