Transfer Rumour Thread 21/22

[dodetap]

Looks like someone who believed after his winner against Barca believed he had arrived. However it looks like he took a tumble to himself, found a club he could settle in and be with family.
He has possibly now realised he needs to be professional, committed and put in the effort to make it.
With possible Scotland call ups he needs to kick ion and I think we could be getting a quality, committed striker who can be a success.
Could probably paraphrase by saying he has grown up, realised the work needed to be a success and the work required

Also it will keep our proud record of having every Scottish club player to have scored a winner against Barca in our side.
Once he got that he knew where he wanted to play

This time it was Barcelona who were up first and with Dundee keen for revenge for the defeats twelve months previously, the tour started superbly with two victories over the Catalan club. The first was a 2-0 win with both goals coming from Davie Halliday who had just finished as Scotland’s top scorer with 38 league goals; a Dens Park record which still stands today and the second was a fine 2-1 win in which Davie McLean and Charlie Duncan got the goals.

These wins over Barça, coupled with the victories over Real Madrid in the summer of 1923 meant that Dundee were the first club from outside Spain to defeat both Barcelona and Real Madrid on their home grounds.

Madrid themselves would get a chance for revenge over Dundee for the previous year’s losses when they faced the Dark Blues in a two-day double header but they turned out to both be ill tempered games.

With Dundee leading 1-0 in the first match, the game exploded when the Spanish referee, who had officiated from the shade in the stand with a lemon in his hand, awarded Real a dubious penalty.

The Dundee players were incensed by this and when the referee came from under his cover and placed the ball on the spot, an exasperated Willie Rankine kicked it into the net. At this, the official tried to slap Rankine in the face but he was quickly pushed away by the Dundee centre-half who was then sent off for his trouble. At first he refused to go and so six armed policeman tried to intervene but when he shook them off, the entire Dundee team walked off in protest.

There was uproar amongst the 6000 crowd and it looked as though the police would have to worry more about the crowd than the conduct of Rankine but after the intervention of Dundee manager Sandy MacFarlane (inducted into Dundee’s Hall of Fame in 2015) and treasurer Willie McIntosh, the game continued when they persuaded their players to take to the field again and was played out to a 1-1 draw.

Twenty-four hours later double the number of fans turned up for ‘round two’ but they witnessed a very satisfying 2-1 win for Dundee thanks to goals from Charlie Duncan and Crawford Letham.

Dundee then moved to the Galicia province for the first time for three matches against Deportivo de La Coruña which
