Seems a bit odd that one
Commenting on the deal, chairman Dave Cormack said: “This is a good outcome for the Club and for Ronnie. We’ve recouped the vast majority of our investment in the player with the potential for future returns through a sizeable sell-on. It’s also good for Ronnie who is now settled in the States with his wife and children.
“As the Club has stated on numerous occasions, there was nothing out of the ordinary in this signing or subsequent loan and transfer.

Agree bit odd how much detail they are going into. On the face of it a terrible signing.Quote:

Nisbet missed a sitter but was otherwise fine. We're not getting the ball to him in the box enough and he continually has to come deep because our midfield don't support him.
There have been plenty of times the ball has been in the box and he has missed, he just hasnt been good enoughQuote:

I realise there wasn’t much to smile about last night but a bit of positivity wouldn’t go amiss.
I do believe there’s a good player there but he needs to show us what he’s about.

It was a frustrating performance to say the very least and, personally, I would have hooked him before half time.Quote:

shame as it started quite brightly for him but he has been honking for far too long now.
Yep, the sitter was the least of his worries tbh.Quote:

That was a substandard performance in every department, the type we’ve become used to.
I like our transfer business so far but what we’re going to do with the striker position is my biggest concern going forward and I think it might make or break our season.
Another half season of Nisbet and we’re going nowhere fast imo.
It's an unfortunate situation Nisbet is in, looks unhappy, head probably turned last January and now after all the speculation in 21, no club appears interested. His big money move out is gone and has allegedly rejected a much improved contract from us so, lose lose in all situations. Playing for the the third biggest club in Scotland should be enough motivation for him though.
If Melkersen comes in and manages to hit the ground running you’d hope it might give Nisbet a wake up callQuote:

I still believe we need a left sided defender (lcb) a centre forward someone central of a front 3 or who can play with 2 behind, a left forward with pace who can take someone on on the outside and that missing CM player .
Not sure what will happen in the last 2 weeks.
Porteous
McGinn
Mueller - fitness
Clarke
Melkerson
Henderson
All unavailable last night
The over reaction from a loss at Celtic is crazy
Like wow.
How can they support him if every time they play it into him, he loses it? ...and what exactly was it that was fine about his performance?Quote:

Kamberi with even less talent. I’d be absolutely delighted if we were even to just get a free transfer for him at this point. It’s a situation entirely of his own making.
Cash in??? Who would want to buy Nisbet now??Quote:

Yes we need to be more clinical and get shots away.
It was a shoestring eleven, Campbell was left wing back troops.
Give the guy a chance
Again….
Beat Aberdeen who seem to have our number for the past 4 years
Destroy United away
Lost to probable champions with players on 5 x the wages
No disgrace
I was actively calling for Ross to go.
It’s night and day already - he will come good
He’s not even been here a month.
Every striker misses sitters.Quote:

I’m excited about what’s to come under Maloney, last night means next to nothing really.
Shankland absolutely worked his socks off for a very defensive Dundee United last season when he was genuinely starved of any kind of service - put in a selfless shift every week. That'll be why he still got his move for good money.Quote:

Fergie of interest
Lewis Ferguson is reportedly a loan target for Cagliari in Serie A.
The Aberdeen midfielder is wanted in England, too, but Sky Sports claim he has been the subject of a loan bid from Cagliari with a view to a £3.5 million obligation to buy.
Watford are also believed to be interested in the player.
