Summer 2019 transfer thread

[Bob Box Fish]

With Whittaker being one of the top earners wonder if there’s any chance he would take a pay off?

With James available at RB, Sean Mackie new deal / covering left and Hecky let Milligan go who was a far bet footballer what need is there for him now ?

Although you thought we were singing Liam Burt😜

Transfer window no closed yet.

If we sign Burt as well I’ll be unbearable.

He is a very good centre mid, but we need balance and players that can do the other side of the game.

When did we beat Celtic 2-0 with them 2 centre mid in a 442? Genuinely can’t remember. I remember the 2-1 game when MacLaren and Slivka scored? Also think that was a 352 that game iirc with Swanson in the hole, Boyle and Stevenson as wing backs.

Anyway.....ifplayed in a 2 with McGinn, the difference is he would not have McGinn, he would have Mallan or Allan with him in there. McGinn would cover a lot of ground, win the ball back, drive the team on where as McGeouch would play the role of dropping deep.

We need a good team, not just a group of good players.

Hit the nail on the head!

As said before, no one is arguing mcgeouch is not a good player, just not the type of player we need right now, especially as a high earner.

A positive from not going for mcgeouch is that Hecky has said he has looked at him and passed, which suggests that he has a clear plan and recognises the qualities that the team is missing, something that didn't seem to happen last year.

With slivka hopefully being told time to search pastures new. Think we need to complete the squad, defensive midfielder, central midfielder who will push Allan, Mallan, and a centre forward.

still think, shaw away on loan might happen, whittaker released.

Defensive midfielder is a must. How about Bartley? Oh, no, wait a minute, we let him go.

OK then, what about Milligan? Oh, hold on, we let him go too.

Hmmm.

Neither of them are good enough to play every week and have us challenging for top two/three.

Yes, freeing up wages for better.

If you bother to read what Hecky wants from his deep lying midfielder maybe this would be a less flippant post?

Both of them are average.

Allegedly he opted for a low wage/long contract so that would not be true

I'd like mulumbu

Always looked good against Hibs, he's another one though who isn't getting any younger though which would be my only concern

While true, we only need a decent DM for this season at least, who knows who would become available next summer or even January... not every player can be a young prospect with a sell on value...

If mulumbu is freed then we would silly not to.

[Unseen work]

One of the main things Heckingbottom has banged on about a lot is that he wants players to play for us, he will speak to them and try do a deal but he wants players desperate to be here and have a real drive and enthusiasm.

I imagine this will put him off Dylan as it seems quite apparent he doesn’t want to be here.

I’d definitely take him if he can keep fit, getting on a bit but a very good player at this level

[Nicho87]

Just throwing this out there.

Fraser Fyvie - free agent.

I’d personally take him.

Great shout, take him in a heartbeat. Played well in a team that finished in 3rd place last season. Ok, may be getting on a bit, however we need experience as well as youthful exuberance.
Hope we are considering him.

Not the player he once was due to injury unfortunately.

Your spot on but if he had not been daft and took his contract under Lennon he would be in the last year of his contract.

You'd take a guy who's not good enough for either of the Dundee clubs?

[DetroitHibs]

Be interesting to see how many players that actually leave us go on to become better players. Players like Gaz and Deeks careers didn't flourish. Brown, Thomson and Whittaker did well. Very rarely do we release a player and see them go on to better things though. Fyvie would be two steps back.

There has been no need for him for a while now. He’s here because he won’t get a deal anywhere else unfortunately.

Didn't he sign for cove rangers or something? Or am I thinking of someone else?

Pretty sure he had a contract offer from them, the dundee offered him a trial so hasn’t signed anything with cove yet.
But haven’t read anywhere about how his dundee trial went.

[MacGruber]

We haven't made a single signing under Ron and the rumours have also dried up..... tighter with the purse strings than Rod Petrie

[we are hibs]

Fyvie would be a dreadful signing

[Centre Hawf]

I would happily take Mulumbu for a season and see how it goes. He could be the perfect foil we need for Mallan and Allan to flourish, but I would like to get someone else in a bit younger to replace him after the season or two he's with us as he's not getting any younger.

Fyvie I think would be a step backwards at this point now due to injuries etc. Which is a shame as I think had he stayed for that Premiership season with Allan McGeouch and McGinn he would have probably been a constant presence in our squad and would have been perfect for us.

[Robbo6-2]

We aren't signing Fyvie.

Sadly hes knackered with his knee and hasn't won a deal with Dundee.

I suspect he will sign for Cove, and continue his career of selling cars outside of football.

Shame because he was a really good footballer. He should of just signed that deal.

I would argue that GOC playing in Russia & The Prem was definitely a step up in his career, no denying it didbt end the way it should've but he did flourish after leaving us.
