I’m pretty sure the days of players knocking on the managers door to ask to leave are gone. Most of these academy players have been out on loan to lower division clubs and seen what it’s like in the real world as opposed to the “St Andrews “ experience and will be in no hurry to leave.

@RMT think back 6 months.

Levitt, Fletcher, Behich etc. All asked to leave.

It's in a players interest to show any potential employer that they are driven individuals who want to play.

These boys need to get out and I am sure that over the next few days we will see more going out.

 
I agree they need to but the difference between the clubs the 3 one time internationalists above had the pick of and the clubs that would be interested in our yet to prove their selves academy graduates would be attracting is not the same and going on to play at Hibs or Wrexham for good money is different from going to the lower divisions in Scotland and maybe even part time. Let’s hope they realise how lucky they are to be at Tannadice and kick on or move on with our best wishes.”

Are we going to see any movement in or out before the window shuts?

I heard Birighitti has snubbed a move to England, but I didn't get a club name.

I hope Ogren learns from his mistake when he didn't strengthen the squad last January.  Granted we are at the top of the league, but some of the performances recently have been dug shit, so I hope he isn't relying on the current squad with no additions.

Still hoping we get some defensive cover in.

As an aside (and I don't believe we've got the finances to make it happen) but saw Kevin van veen is being touted for a loan move from groningen.... he'd rip up the championship

if we dont get anything in today we still have another month for loans

That would be Crewe Alexander he rejected.

Granted lower down the EFL leagues but it was a good chance to get regular game time, it seems getting money for doing nothing is preferred though.
 

Docherty out for the season, fucking nightmare.

Fucking twitter this is indeed a load of shite 😂😂😂😂

No, that would be Crewe Alexandria

See what annoys me about this window... last minute signings like the boy last season who aren't at Tannadice for the deal to be done. Has the feel of last minute panic rather than one where they want to be here and are ready to play

Ogren balancing spending money vs getting up.
As has been his stated aim all along.
.... Fine line, although tbf we've brought in two who'll give 100% as against previous hit or miss last minute acts of desparation.

Yeah, we can loan from the league above until end of the month.

Signed until the end of the season, the boy looks like he sleeps in a greenhouse.

Not sure what else we could have expected considering we are in the championship and our defence has only lost 11 league goals to date.

Once Freeman moves out non loan that will leave us with no natural right backs at the club and that's got to be concern.

A wee butty on the lad on fishul:-
