I'd be delighted with that. Better than every winger we have at the club.

He's went a bit stale at Kilmarnock and needs a fresh challenge. Very good player imo.

Middleton:

Fast, makes full backs uncomfortable, hits the bye line.
Got a shot on him now Jim told him to add this to his locker.
Covers an immense and underappreciated amount of ground.
Jim likes him, he likes Tannadice.
24, lot to learn and a willing learner.

Keep.

2 goals & 3 assists this season so far.

Im not against middleton staying. Hes improved vastly with competition for his place and does a job. According to espn hes got the same number of assists as standard strain in the same number of games (I'd guess with more sub appearances).

Felt he has contributed much more this season than the likes of kai. Not to say hes worth rockstar money - if rests what he wants we should thank him for his service and wish him the best - but if he's in a place where he can accept a wage which reflects his squad status, great.

Tbh - I think hes been better over the piece than trapanovski who started brilliantly then went off the boil - albeit there's signs of improvement

This is pretty much where I am on Middleton.  Compared to the season before, he has had a fantastic season.  He's played better in a better league.  If he has been a high earner then I do think it needs to come with a more realistic wage, but I am not too despondent on this.  Hopefully we bring in players who will challenge him for game time and therefore we get the best out of him.  Confidence is a big thing  and he's still only 25 - best years should still be ahead of him.

 
I can’t believe anyone would accuse Middleton of having a fantastic season. He’s been mediocre at best.

Some people need to learn to read.  Middelton was rank rotten last season.  Compared to that he has been fantastic!  I'd say this season he has been mediocre to good (only in spells, not whole games and often played out of position by our great manager).

As for claims of being gaslit (Conway11), I don't think a footy forum is the place for you if you are going to be so sensitive.  I'm not very sure what gaslit actually means but I certainly don't post on here to belittle anyone or their views, but if I think they are talking shit I'll say so.  If people don't agree with what I say, I actually don't give two f*cks.  Gaslit!  Dearie me...

He has gone off the boil at Killie, but he is exactly the type of player our current team needs.  Whether our team next season will, who knows.  Hopefully Goodwin.  If Dalby were to stay (assuming highly unlikely) then Armstrong would be a perfect runner off him and supplier of balls in.

I'd be trying to bring in the young lad (Watson?) who scored two against us at Rugby Park before McInnes takes him with him to Tynecastle.  Probably out of our price bracket though assuming he's still in contract.

Kind of players I hope we are after. Even if we don’t get them. Show ambition. A mix of a few decent players from our smaller rivals, few young players from lower leagues with promise, a fast forward from down south like St Mirren, Motherwell, St Johnstone and Ross county have all proven recently are in abundance, and a few foreigners looking at us for a 2 year stint that Jim has been very good at getting in the past.

Re: Out of contract players in Summer - Who would you keep?

Luton have extended Waltons contract by a further year.

For me this is the last 3 games for United.  I think he will get a run or at least a chance in the old English 3rd Division.

Good luck to him, he has been a steady pair of hands in the goal and brought a bit a calm after the blunder from down under.
