Perthatton Posted February 10, 2015 Report Share Posted February 10, 2015 Agree with Gazza, also heard he was signing for United. As much as I would hate it, their style of play would suit him to a tee. End of the day, Hel come back up to Scotland and get his confidence back up. And no doubt get a move to Celtic. Also heard he was homesick, so might be the best option for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perthatton Posted February 10, 2015 Report Share Posted February 10, 2015 No other options. Might not be a case of not wanting him but if the player is homesick he holds the cards ultimately Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ali91 Posted February 10, 2015 Report Share Posted February 10, 2015 Theres being homesick and there's being homesick enough to see your wages drop to a third of your current level. He was dropped for two games and Sheffield Wednesday scored a grand total of 0 goals. Their fans seem to be blaming the jock for their lack of creativity.

blueheaven Posted February 11, 2015 Report Share Posted February 11, 2015 He's played nearly every game for Wednesday!!!??? Yup. I'm having trouble working out why people repeatedly say he's out of favour there, despite the fact that he's started most games for them and was in their starting line-up again last night and also at the weekend. If he does go anywhere it'll be to a similarly-ranked English club who can match his wages and ambitions. I can't think of a single scenario that would see him end up at Dundee United at this stage of his career. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saintdunc Posted February 11, 2015 Report Share Posted February 11, 2015 Sheffield Wednesday are my local team here in North Sheffield and I have a couple of mates who are dyed in the wool Owls so to speak. They have been telling me all season that May has done well without hitting the onion bag too often. He is still energetic and hungry for the ball but the midfield is gash. He was unlucky on Saturday and played the whole match when the midfield appeared to gel for a change. Last night, against Ipswich, the whole team were pretty gash but May played the whole game. He has played in most games from the start and not been a sub or subbed too often. I will report how he does this Saturday, against Brighton, as I am off to see my first game of the season at Hillsborough. From what I hear he is happy and going nowhere.

Havana Saint Posted February 11, 2015 Report Share Posted February 11, 2015 Dunne was a fantastic signing as was O'Halloran. A lot there that were sadly very poor. Iwelumo was really shocking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Havana Saint Posted February 11, 2015 Report Share Posted February 11, 2015 May and Dunne were huge players, who we have missed. We have been blessed with great midfielders over the years Dino, Dasovic, Jody, Dunne and of course Midgey just now. Quite telling that we were truly dire on Saturday with no Macca and no Millar - oh how we rely on these two players...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saintdunc Posted February 12, 2015 Report Share Posted February 12, 2015 No team can move forward without a decent midfield or a general to tick all the boxes. A leader on the park, a guv'nor, someone who can take the game by the scruff of the neck and dictate play. Sound familiar? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brogan Posted February 13, 2015 Report Share Posted February 13, 2015 May and Dunne were huge players, who we have missed. We have been blessed with great midfielders over the years Dino, Dasovic, Jody, Dunne and of course Midgey just now. Quite telling that we were truly dire on Saturday with no Macca and no Millar - oh how we rely on these two players...... I wouldn't be so evangelical. Remember Dunne only played a handful of games and was decent, not brilliant, in most of them. And it isn't that telling that we were dire on Saturday without McLean and Millar. We've been dire this seaon with them both in the team - McLean hasn't lived up to his reputation since his return - and while Millar has been great this season, we put in one of our best performances of the season against Aberdeen while he was sitting in the stand.

Wee Mental Davie Posted January 30, 2017 Report Share Posted January 30, 2017 (edited) Let's put this into perspective; Tommy's signings XI; Clark * Fisher Foster Shaughnessy Easton Dunne Wotherspoon O'Halloran Swanson Graham Kane* Subs: Banks, Lappin, Paton, Craig, Alston, Sutton, McFadden, Jahic Let's be honest, anyone who thinks Tommy can't be trustworthy with money or think that his signing strategy is poor should really look at the bigger picture. For the resources he has had at his disposal, Tommy has done a bloody great job at bringing in decent enough quality players who have helped cemented our place in the league and consistently helped to drive us to top six and European football. Every manager brings in players who underperform (Morgan, Fallon etc) but the fact that Tommy can use his better signings (and existing players) to compensate for that shows the strength and depth in the squads he's configured over the past 3 and a half years. Not to mention the invaluable wealth of experience players like Banks and McFadden bring to the younger players, some of whom have been given first team debuts by Tommy. *Promoted youth players Edited January 30, 2017 by Wee Mental Davie angus-saint253, Abernethy Saint, Saintdunc and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SaintJet Posted January 30, 2017 Report Share Posted January 30, 2017 Notice a lot of people piled on with 0/ 10 for Chris Iwelumo. Pretty sad. The guy came here and was a model professional - okay he never set the heather on fire but his contribution and support for the team during the cup final run was outstanding. He was a very popular player in the dressing room. I read a piece about Chris couple years back and he spoke fondly of the "great" club we have in Perth and his time there.

rik2304 Posted January 30, 2017 Report Share Posted January 30, 2017 Being fair then the weakest part of his transfer activity has been strikers.......... however,at the financial level we operate on then it's always going to be difficult/impossible to bring in a 15+ goal striker as they will always cost £££.
