Still, not at all out of the blue if one knew anything about hte player. I'm a little surprised he went to the continent but he's way too good for the SPL.

Well it's out of the blue that he joined us. He hadn't been linked till the day before. Don't think many PL clubs would have taken him on and used him much tbh and at the age he's at he needs a club where he can play and develop. It's a better move for him than going to England would've been at this stage.
 


Liverpool, Arsenal and Man United have made enquiries about Alexis. Juventus and Atletico are also interested. Player valued at 30M. [as]
 
Sanchez will turn into a bidding war so I doubt his fee would be 30M. We would offer the highest wages though.

Yeah, the destination was surprising but he's already a fantastic player and he'll develop well playing there.


Worth £10M more than Hazard went for?

Yeah, the kid is a phenom.
 
It would be outrageous, and I'm not talking about his offence but rather FIFA bending over for Barca.

I hate to be cynical about such a morally impeccable club as Barcelona, but maybe this was the plan all along?

Suarez wants the move. Barca can't meet Liverpools feck off 100M valuation. Bite somebody, get in trouble, price goes down, Liverpool wants to get rid, make the transfer for a number Barca can afford, then the ban gets reduced to two months and he doesn't miss any club football.
 


Yesterday's news but thought it was worth noting that this guy called Ryan Gauld right down to him being unveiled later that night at the Sporting gala. ITK at Sporting.
 
I thought Celtic would be all over Gauld for £3m he's going to be a top player and would walk into that Celtic team.
 
I'll never understand why players agree to such ludicrous buyout clauses that will hinder their chances at a big move.

For more monies per week. It's a balance between what you'll be sure to be getting (wage) and what you might be missing out on in the future (any suitors discouraged by high buyout clause).
 
If you're gonna be a dick about it @Kostur feel free to look on twitter yourself... I post a lot of tweets on here for people so giving me shit for posting one thing about Indy isn't really called for is it?

No, don't take any offence please because none was intended, I just found it ridiculous how people still post this idiot's tweets in 2014, I'm somewhat allergic to him, sorry if I sounded like a cnut.

@Bojan11 yea, feck off.

United are signing
Cuadrado
iniesta
alexis sanchez
vermalin
Today

Then we are also shifting to a 3-4-3.

Luis suarez will sign for barcelona for 50/60/70/80 million, it may or may not include sanchez.
 
Absolutely, the lad's a genius.

Genius or not, deeming him easily worth £42 m one day is something very few 18 year old genius reach, as an attacking mid he has 1 in 6 in the Scottish league and attracted attention from Sporting obviously, that doesn't even suggest he is one of the best 18 year old's around, or why have the bigger clubs not moved in, especially considering the low price? Perhaps you are Scottish or have seen him regularly, but that's one hell of a jump.

Not Scottish but was fortunate to catch a few of his performances last season. He's incredible. Would have loved him here and was hoping for Moyes to sign him in January.

Dundee are a pretty small club, which might explain why bigger clubs weren't sniffing around.

There was quotes in December last year from Moyes saying he wanted to have a look at him personally, so he is known to big clubs as you said, which makes your second point a bit strange as we've just seen that United may have been interested. Again, I'm not trying to necessarily change your view, but you aren't someone to make silly predictions from what I've seen so I'll keep an eye on him more in future, as currently, I'll admit I've sen nothing other than my good friend Youtube, what sort of attacking mid is he out of interest, I see he's been tagged as poor Hallalovic was with the "new messi" tag...

Let the old one retire first. :lol:
 
Doesn't say what the knockdown fee is but would anyone consider this? English, used to be really good, still quite young, and we need a backup right-back.
Don't think he was ever very good. Physically he was impressive at 18 but he was always a liability defensively.

I have seen him a few times in the flesh and several times on the box, he is very promising, although some Dundee United fans think there are better players than him currently at United, such as Stuart Armstrong and
Andrew Robertson who has already been called up for the Scotland first team. However Gauld is younger and probably has a higher ceiling.
 
United definitely looking for physically developed goalkeepers which is nothing bad.

Vanja Milinkovic looks already close to De Gea's height and strength.
