Out Of Contract

[dj_bollocks]

Hahahah, thats the other one i was thinking of.......its very appropriate for the prick.

 

A carer… sorry career highlight of mine…

[Rubinho Escocia]

Ryan Jack is definitely the priority out of those out of contract this year, although would hope Russell is able to play at least one more game before the end of the season. For the rest Storie would be the one I'd be most tempted to keep although part of me thinks if someone is 19 and not playing first team football it's best for them to move somewhere they'll be more involved so I'd probably let him go without compensation but look to agree some sort of buy back clause.

[RAZOR]

I always thought that was 'that fucking wage thieving goon'

Both make sense tbf=to be fair.

[fine-n-dandy]

The only one I'm bothered about is Jack.

 

If the any of the rest were going to be really good, they'd have showed something by now.

 

Guaranteed, one of every forty to fifty players we release are going to come back and bite us on the arse eventually, but we can't keep them all on on that basis.

Logans deal expires same time as Jacks & I'd be more pissed off if we lost Logan than Jack in all honesty.

He has a year left. Deal expires end of next season.

[Tommy]

I really can't see Jack staying and as long as we cash in in close season then good luck to him.

I doubt Logan will want to continue living away from his family so it's make your mind up time

for him, commit to a new deal or we lose him for nothing.

He's been a great signing so it would be a blow not to get a fee for him.

[Dave Bus]

Surely driver has agreed to join hearts or somethin, doesn't even get a game in the development team nowadays, crazy to think the boy was at one time in talks to sign for Chelsea

[King Street Loon]

Shug away to St Johnstone in the summer it looks like.

[Guest RosemountRed]

McManus should definitely get a new deal, preferably two year, he has more than earned it, it would be crazy to release the League One player of the year.

 

Anderson should definitely retire, he's far too injury prone.

 

As for Shug, he just wasn't good enough, good luck to him.

[Guest RosemountRed]

Has anyone got the most up to date list, including all the U20's?

I'll add the u20s when announced later this month.

 

Normally they are one year at a time. It is out of the ordinary for us to give Wright and McKenna such long deals as youth players.

[fine-n-dandy]

We getting any compo from Dundee for Low? or did we fail to offer him a deal to trigger that?

Pitty we couldn't have worked out a wee deal for Bain.

 

Low is a nap to be one of those players that bites you on the arse. Yeah he's nae fantastic but he certainly has something & on his game can be a dangerous wee player. Good player for Dundee

Same guy also claims Aberdeen are going to try and terminate Goodwillies contract in the summer - peeps over on ABMad seem keen on Scott McDonald replacing him.

 

Also Rodgers being moved on??!!! Robson, Murray and co likely to be moved on too. Apparently Hibs, St Johnstone, Motherwell, Dundee and another are after McManus - think he'd offer more than Goodwillie. Looked good last season when I did see him come on - happy to see him stay.

 

Convinced they'll be some really strong signings made by us - considering the amount of players being moved on. Alot of talk in the papers recently from the likes of Considine, McLean, Logan and Brown all mentioning the calibre of player to come in this summer to help us improve for next season - certainly exciting times ahead.

If Goodwillie does go, then there is no need to bring in another striker just yet.

 

Rooney is our centre forward, with McManus and Shankland fighting it out for the back-up spot. Bit worried McManus will turn us down though - might feel he has a better chance of playing elsewhere. McGinn can play through the middle in an emergency too (IMO he's actually better there anyway!).

 

Will be disappointed if Goodwillie does leave - such a wasted talent. Only himself to blame though.

[red_ordead]

Be glad to see Goodwillie go actually, think he's just dead wood that causes problems off the field and looks like he can't be fucked on it

[Dave Bus]

The team is most effective in that 4231 formation which only allows one striker which will be Rooney 90% of the time this means there's no room for goodwillie in the starting 11 and he's in no way an impact sub, never does anything when coming off the bench except from once when he scored against a dismal Ross county back in February, so imo I think we should let him go.

[dj_bollocks]

Still think we should look at 4-1-3-2 next season...

[Tord31]

This. But does it require us holding on to Jack? I would say yes

[Byrne Baby Byrne]

Get Goodwillie to fuck he is only blocking Shankland and perhaps McManus from progressing

[Sheeptastic]

Got to laugh at how general consensus re Goodwillie has changed dramatically. Some were hailing him as our best player technically and not lazy but rather intelligent with his use of energy. Nonsense.

 

I would still be willing to keep him on providing we let him know that his only route to the first team is through graft. It seems his fate has been decided however.

[dave_min]

He is an excellent technical player.

[The Boofon]

He is an incredibly excellent technical player.

 

 

Fixed.

 

A mile above anyone else in our team.

He is brilliant and I don't think he is lazy either.

 

The main issue is he enjoys scrapping too much.

[Tord31]

If we are gonna use him then keep him. If he is gonna be a sub then move him

[RAZOR]

He showed glimpses. But unfortunately that all it's been.

 

He's been poor and doesn't look interested.

Agree with this, I had high hopes for him, very good footballer, but it's become clear why Dundee United never followed up on their interest in him last season.

 

He's wasting his talent.
