Transfer rumour thread 20/21

[FTFun]

I'm Still wondering what talent spotting genius thought Rakovan was the better keeper.

I hope he goes to Schalke & not Moscow. I was watching Chernobyl last night & Russia's a horrible place. Btw CSKA Moscow & Dynamo Moscow are two different clubs. So is The Scotsman guilty of merging the two clubs?

Didn't even notice that. I think it's most likely ranaldarab who's merging the clubs. 😂

Well he started as no. 1 under Shabba so I guess you can blame him. Ellis then dropped Rakovan and brought in Siegrist who has kept his place since.

Rumours elsewhere we're in for Manny Duku of Raith. 6ft 2" Dutch striker. 9 goals in 11 games.

Chernobyl is in Ukraine. I was in Ukraine last year and if you had a few quid you could have a very nice life.

Apparently we have placed a bid for the guy Robert at Airdrie. If we’re offering actual transfer cash, this means either that our financial position isn’t as bad as feared with the pandemic or alternatively we are planning for and expecting transfer money to be coming in to the Club this window, in which case that can only mean Benji is on his way. I suspect the latter.

Or Adam King?

He's now gone on loan and made only three starts for Forfar, being hooked after 36 minutes in one of them. It's a headshaker.

He got injured in that game and was subsequently out for a month. He signed for them on October 16th. There have been 10 league games in that time and he’s played in all 6 he was fit for. Played 63 minutes in his comeback game on December 19th and has played full 90 minutes in Boxing Day and January 2nd fixtures.

Let’s not get facts get in the way though!

Fair enough if true. I haven't seen anything to suggest he was injured. Still a headshaker though.....'Premiership ready'.

"Flo is a really talented boy and we feel, with the ingredients we'll be able to add to an already impressive lad, that we'll have a really good player here at Dundee United.

"He's at a good stage in his career where I believe I can use him in the first team so I'll be expecting him to be putting those lads in the squad under pressure."

That was the quote at time. Nothing about being Premiership ready. He’s 19 and 4 months into a 24 month contract and spent a month of that injured. Loaning him out to get games post Covid was the right decision as it was for Freeman and Glass (although he unfortunately got a serious injury). Let’s actually allow the club work with these guys for a decent spell before we judge/write them off.
