Captain America Posted July 25, 2014 Report Share Posted July 25, 2014 2 mill rising to as much as 3 is what I've read for Robertson. So that's the best part of 5 mill this summer with incentives to come in the future for us. I'd like to see us spend at least a little of that... Shinnie is a good shout.

Alkaline Posted July 25, 2014 Report Share Posted July 25, 2014 We seem to lose a good left back a season at the moment, first Dixon then Douglas now Robertson. Hopefully we'll invest in some quality players with the Gauld and Robertson cash but other than Spittal and that lad from Sevco I'm not inspired by the signings so far.

Captain America Posted July 25, 2014 Report Share Posted July 25, 2014 I don't know anything about the two CBs we signed but it must be better than what we had last season. Gunning was a walking red card and we were completely lacking in depth at CB. I agree those two signings look good and largely the squad from last season is still there. GMS needs a good season and Armstrong can keep improving and add more goals. Squad isn't terrible but it looks thin to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Easy Wishes Posted July 25, 2014 Report Share Posted July 25, 2014 Hey guys, take this Arab chat to dundee-music.com a'ight? How's Souttar getting on? He seemed to struggle about in games against Aberdeen last season, not seen enough of him in other games to judge. Is Ciftci still there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He seemed to struggle about in games against Aberdeen last season, not seen enough of him in other games to judge. Is Ciftci still there?I think Souttar looks good, inexperienced though and could do with someone more experienced of a good level of ability playing beside him to improve his game. Like Cap 'Murica said Gunning was fairly gung-ho as defenders go and Souttar looked shaky with the added responsibility. Ciftci is still with us, Aidan Connelly looks good too, might well walk into the Gauld role this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He seemed to struggle about in games against Aberdeen last season, not seen enough of him in other games to judge. Is Ciftci still there? Souttar looks like he'll be a star, I don't think we played well in general against you guys last season. He's still only 17 as well so lots of talent just needs more seasons to keep improving and gain some more consistency. Ciftci is still here, hopefully he can be as good this season as last.

Captain America Posted July 25, 2014 Report Share Posted July 25, 2014 Uhh so Arsenal are apparently signing Calum Chambers from Southampton so the fire sale continues. Fee agreed and he's taken the medical today (BBC reporting it on twitter at the moment). Not sure we need a right back... not sure he's that much better than Bellerin really. Jenkinson must be getting loaned or sold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soda Jerk Posted July 26, 2014 Report Share Posted July 26, 2014 Decent signing. Chambers is very good. Can play left back too, if I'm not mistaken. Perhaps a bit of an inflated fee, but Southampton have given everyone that treatment this summer, bar Lambert I suppose. Southampton must be a realistic relegation contender if they continue to get torn apart. Lovren is close to moving to Liverpool, and I imagine Schneiderlin will be next out of the door, who a number of a clubs will be after. I don't know much about Koeman as a coach, but he seems to have a poor reputation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain America Posted July 26, 2014 Report Share Posted July 26, 2014 They've made a bunch of signings as well though, mostly from Europe so it really depends on how good they are/how well they adapt. I still think there will be teams much worse off than Southampton. Bottom 6-8 I'd say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soda Jerk Posted July 26, 2014 Report Share Posted July 26, 2014 I was only aware of the Pelle and Tadic signings. Have they brought in anyone else? Tadic is pretty good from what I've seen. I don't know much about Pelle though;. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain America Posted July 26, 2014 Report Share Posted July 26, 2014 Oh I'm wrong I thought they'd tied up a defender as well. I still dont think they're in that bad shape, they'll look to the academy for the full back replacements I think. Tadic is to replace Lallana's creativity, Pelle to replace Lambert, Rodriguez hasn't been sold (yet!). Lovren going is their biggest issue at the moment. They are fucking minted as well now. With Chambers/Lovren going they must be close to 120mill this summer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soda Jerk Posted July 26, 2014 Report Share Posted July 26, 2014 They certainly need a full back or two, and a couple of centre backs. Pochettino's style of football was a big part of their success. I think they could struggle if Koeman is as poor as some people seem to be suggesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soda Jerk Posted July 26, 2014 Report Share Posted July 26, 2014 United just beat Roma 3-2 on their pre-season tour. Winning 3-0, ran it close at the end. Pjanic scored a goal from his own half, because Ben Amos did a brainfart. Rooney scored a beaut. Luke Shaw isn't going to walk into the side, based on performances so far. He's not been too good. Reece James has been skinning him at left back in both games. He's looked immense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soda Jerk Posted July 28, 2014 Report Share Posted July 28, 2014 Loic Remy deal is off. Someone at Liverpool must have found out he doesn't play for Southampton. Now they're being linked with Jay Rodriguez. Obviously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Easy Wishes Posted July 28, 2014 Report Share Posted July 28, 2014 J-Rod would be an excellent signing for Liverpool IMO. Southampton should be targeting the young English at clubs where they're struggling to get games. The other J-Rod, Scott Sinclair, Micah Richards et al. I'm sure there are some at other clubs, not just City. Michael Dawson would be handy for them too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain America Posted July 28, 2014 Report Share Posted July 28, 2014 Everyone reporting on the Vidal thing is coming from the original paper who reported it which is the Milan sided paper. Doesn't mean it's not true but it could just be there to upset Juve's pre season. Atletico getting Griezman is a great piece of business too. Good news for Aberdeen too means he can't play against your lot? Not sure if he was back from post world cup yet or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Milner Posted July 28, 2014 Report Share Posted July 28, 2014 He wont be there and Vela is gonna miss both games with injury i think, which is fantastic news for us. Maybe gives us a 1 in 50 shot now, better than the 1 in 100 shot with those two playing. Todders is going to be bouncing next week if we come away with a result on thursday that at least gives us a chance of going through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
