Madbadteacher Posted January 26, 2023 Report Posted January 26, 2023 Well, we all know we need defenders, even the “manager” admits that and we sent a good young defender out on loan. Fuchking clueless club, recruitment, directorship and management. Nae wonder we’re shite! Quote
Slim Posted January 28, 2023 Report Posted January 28, 2023 Mattie Pollock in from Watford presumably on loan, 21 year old 6’3” central defender with a couple of years first team football under his belt. Looks fairly promising. Quote

Looks fairly promising. Just about to post that Slim. Played four times this season for them, including three starts and Watford have lost everytime he has played. Got the feeling he is going to feel riight at home with us Quote
baggy89 Posted January 28, 2023 Report Posted January 28, 2023 Had him on loan at Cheltenham last season. Was decent in League 1 and the consensus was he’d go back to Watford and become a regular starter. Think he got the young player of the year award. Quote

Not particularly happy with the way he spells his name though, it's deeply concerning. Kennedy should have a word. Quote
Slim Posted January 28, 2023 Report Posted January 28, 2023 Watford have form for that, Tommie Hoban had the same issue. 1 Quote

Anthony Stewart was supposed to be a decent league 1 player. Maybe need not to be looking at league 1. 1 Quote
RicoS321 Posted January 29, 2023 Report Posted January 29, 2023 jay gorter signing on loan from Ajax? Maybe time for Lewis to hang up his gloves? Quote

Lewis has looked like a shadow of himself (a shadow might be better), and is just a panicky mess. Unless he was just downing tools to quicken Goodwin's departure, which I think is unlikely. I think it's notable that we've addressed it even without a manager, although I guess it is just a loan. 1 Quote

Kowalski Posted January 29, 2023 Report Posted January 29, 2023 Pollock has been caught & reeled in. Loan until end of season. Quote

manc_don Posted January 30, 2023 Report Posted January 30, 2023 baggy, know he was at Cheltenham and I see Panda mentioned he’s right footed but played LCB quite a bit. What can we expect from him? Quote

What can we expect from him? He describes himself as an old fashioned, aggressive defender (his words). He also says he's "a bit of a leader". Let's hope he plays like he talks. 1 Quote
Panda Posted January 31, 2023 Report Posted January 31, 2023 Lewis on his way out presumably - considering Tom Ritchie has been recalled from his loan at Peterhead and Gorter isn't coming all the way from Ajax to sit on the bench. Quote

Scott Burns claimed Club want 3 keepers so we have enough cover. Quote
Panda Posted January 31, 2023 Report Posted January 31, 2023 Ajax have just extended Gorter's contract from 2025 to 2026 before sending him out on loan. Obviously rate the fella highly. Quote

That would be a u-turn from the club as Lewis asked to leave weeks ago and that wish was set to be granted before Roos got injured. Allegedly... Quote
Panda Posted January 31, 2023 Report Posted January 31, 2023 (edited) Some whispers that if Dundee United manage to sell Tony Watt this evening, that Marley Watkins will be making the move to Tannadice. Shame, a player I like a lot. By all accounts is on fire in training. Has had fitness issues in the past but that doesn't appear to have been a problem this season. With Ramirez gone it would now leave us a bit light up front, tho guess it nudges Bavidge up the ladder a bit. Edit: Unless, of course, a striker is signing today. Atlanta to sign Giakoumakis then loan him to us would be acceptable. They owe us one. Edited January 31, 2023 by Panda Quote
