dublin saint Posted July 3, 2019 Report Share Posted July 3, 2019 looks like Swanson could be moving on - trial depending https://www.edinburghnews.scotsman.com/news/crime/former-hibs-and-hearts-footballer-danny-swanson-punches-bouncer-in-face-at-edinburgh-pub-1-4958661 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomGuy Posted July 3, 2019 Report Share Posted July 3, 2019 Names of the trialists starting to creep out. CB is Danzell Gravenberch, a 25yo CB. Spent last season on loan in the Belgian second tier from Reading. LB is Tyler Garrett, 22yo who spent last season on loan at Wimbledon in League One. gingermunkie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
belfastsaintee Posted July 3, 2019 Report Share Posted July 3, 2019 I was at tonight’s game and Danzell looked a real unit , big guy , gets stuck in . Didn’t make any errors. And nearly scored a screamer at the end (makes sense as his wiki says he started off as a striker). Def looked promising. The striker ? Scored a goal but it was scrappy , see what u think those that are at the Linfield game. The team only had that chance first half so didn’t see much of him . LB same again didn’t do anything wrong , part of a nice bit of play that nearly led to a goal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genuinely dont know btw, not sure what the difference in income is. It’s the sort of signing that will get a few extra season tickets for this campaign alone. A decent cup run and promotion would be worth considerably more than £350,000 to Dundee United. Their season ticket sale would double overnight if they won promotion, nevermind the extra TV/Sponsorship money. Goals win matches, winning more matches than you lose tends into to make you money. If he scores 20+ goals, it will have been a great investment. He is on a 3 year deal as well so not only will they make profit from all of the aforementioned but if he bangs in the goals this season, there will be plenty of clubs sniffing around ready to pay more than £350,000 for a genuine goal scorer..

belfastsaintee Posted July 3, 2019 Report Share Posted July 3, 2019 Better second half than first half for Saints tonight. McCann and McClean and Hendry all looked good. Really Impressed by Dutch trialist centre back in particular. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R.B.B:- Adz Posted July 3, 2019 Report Share Posted July 3, 2019 Jack Hendry on a season long loan worth a punt? Would Celtic dictate that he plays a certain number of games? Is he better than Liam Gordon or Steven Anderson? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have a settled team with a player doing well then when you play his parent club you have to change the team, or get through to a cup semi or even final and have to change a team.

It's fine having ambition but it also says a lot that, for all the talk about Shankland, it looks like there was no better offer on the table.

Have we had any successful loan players,SPFL on not. It may be that some of them never got decent runs in team but I struggle to think of any that made an impact.

Alan Kernaghan was originally on loan when he came to us and obviously did very well. I'm struggling to think of many others who made much of an impact. Gwion Edwards was alright in flashes I guess. Craig Russell also got kept on after a decent loan spell but then ended up being injured most of the time. gingermunkie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Players have purple patches. Was that patch not also interrupted by injury? We can only sit and wait to see if Shankland will recapture the pre-injury form next season. There has been a lot said about MOH needing a full pre-season so it may be the same for Shankland. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
