Rumours - summer signings

[Chick A Saw]

Or maybe the young modern day footballer just doesn't put enough into their own game or have the will to improve themselves as a player.

Thing is, when you started working, did you know everything about your chosen trade? Whats so different about a footballer? From what im aware of at United, there was not enough teaching players how to play football and players like Spittal have suffered from that!

I'd imagine Blair Spittal didn't start playing football at the age of 16 when I started my chosen trade.

I get that he is young and played in struggling United sides but I just don't see a player there and I'm not bothered he's away.

Good news and good luck to Spittal in the future.

Flood and Donaldson to go now, Fraser too if someone wants to buy.

Clean slate and time for Ray to show what he's made of !

Disappointed it didn't work'out for Spittal here. Always thought he had potential, however it just did not materialise often enough. Personally I wish him arabest and hope he does well, except against us obviously. Guid luck to the lad at the decent Weegie club, could be a good move for him and will be interesting to see how he gets on.

Let's not go down the "young players these days..." route. I'm sure every generation ever does that.sometimes promising players just don't blossom they way we thought they would. Sometimes a player suits another team better, same with managers. David Moyes for instance, did amazing work at Everton and since then it hasn't worked out for him anywhere else.

Hearing Fraser has asked to leave.

It's a real conundrum IMHO. The lad has talent, no doubt. However, we had our best runs of the season when he was injured.

Trebs, I don't know if I am following you right? Are you saying that although we were s**t, we were diarrhoea when Fraser wasn't playing?

[TerryTheTerror]

Not sure I'd put it quite like that but if you mean we were worse with Fraser in the team then, yes.

If he wants to leave fine, that would be another young United player with paper thin commitment to the club who brought him through as a player, and wants to leave cause they can't hack it.
Maybe he'll get a "dream" move to Partick Thistle like Spittal.
