there was a wee rumour of a LB from Portugal, but nothing else has been said, or it was nonsense to begin with

Maybe this was only if an acceptable offer came in for Ferry

that's Odada released

I would also add that very few of their support are able to openly admit and confront the massive change in the dynamic between the two clubs. They hold on in silence and misplaced defiance hoping that things will reverse back to a 1950's power scenario where they were the more successful club. They love that Gordon Strachan was attracted to their club because of his standing in Scottish football but refuse to accept his accountability for some very bad decisions.

Two derby victories for them last season papered cosmetically over large cracks that have appeared in the last few years. Our growing support v their declining support.
Our board's consistent ability to run the club better.
Our marketing as a club to sponsors is noteworthy, and to signing targets.

Long may it continue.
One club in Dundee.

Scrolling down twitter last night and looking at their forum for a laugh, about 80% of them said we are shite and all the usual.

Rapid Vienna would hit them for 7.

It’s a five figure fee which in this day and age is nothing. Hopefully he just accepts our contract.

after seeing dolcek's after match interview I reckon he'd bite jim's hand aff for a contract

he was fucking buzzing

Great move,get it done united!!

 
Would be great if it happens and I know what Jim has said, but could it also mean we are trying to bring in one last loan signing before window shuts?

 
Maybe,but it's probably just the club recognising his rising stock I'd imagine. Not fussed if we bring in anyone else tbh,I think we are well covered once we get a fully fit squad to choose from, if we ever do of course. But I'd love to see Dolcek snapped up on a 3 year deal because I reckon we've unearthed a gem there.

We’d be daft to kick the can down the road with this one. If he keeps this form up, he’s gonna have much bigger teams in for him and we’ll struggle to get him to agree to stay long term. Pay the money now and we have control of what happens in the future.

 
Apart from money I couldn't understand why we didn't do this with Dolcek rather than Naamo last time?

Maybe a more straightforward negotiation, quicker paperwork trying to get Luca in.

 
My guess was, based on no evidence, given the start that Dolceks had and that he wasnt known on any personal level by the staff, we might come to an agreement with his club but he might tell us to ram the contract as he knows that carrying on as he is will likely get a bigger move and a bigger contract.

This leaves us in a position where you have a boy on loan for the rest of the season who's already telt us to ram it,which probably isn't good for the dressing room (and let's be honest, our fans would be right on him if he did take a downturn in form). I reckon now he's been here for a few weeks, they've probably sounded out that he'd be keen to sign permanently if we can get that fee agreed with his club.

Just a complete guess mind but it made sense in my head

Has to be one of the easiest derby wins I can remember.   That Dundee team look poor.   Just sat back and let us have the ball for most of the 1st half, crazy in a derby.

Tremendous.

a complete stroll in the park, we were far superior all over the park. They look horrendous.

Love the goalie, back 3 so comfortable all day, camera was phenomenal, sapsford and dolcek gonna be brilliant for us. Fatah is a bit meh- canna believe he got bought for 5 mill

Conway11 is byling. 😉

 
Fatah will have better games I'm sure. Camara man of the match for me,he was everywhere. Dolcek and Sapsford definitely ran him close though. Thought Sevelj was excellent too. No real failures though, like I said, Fatah will have good games and shite games he's that kind of player I think.

 
Yeah I get they vibes he’ll be unplayable one week dreadful the night.

Absolutely love the goalie, does a few mad things but by the looks of what I’ve seen so far he’s very good!

Looks like the window for us has closed going by Goodwin comments after the game.(apart from a few young lads going out  on loan)

I think if we could get most players fit, we look pretty decent.

 
Hopefully a few bodies back by our next game. Would be good to have game changers on the bench.
