mio Posted April 22 Report Share Posted April 22 Declan Gallagher leaving Utd at the end of the season. Utd fans shocked as they view he’s been one of their best players this season and they wanted him re-signed. id take him back. I’ll just leave my view hanging there like a rancid fart.

Since he left us, I don' think he's performed near the same level. We got his peak levels. He's a better footballer than our current centre backs, mind you, but he's obviously not coming back for obvious reasons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kmcalpin Posted April 22 Report Share Posted April 22 He's hoping to find a club in the Premiership. If he's done that well at Tannadice why are they letting him go? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably his sparkling personality eventually shone thru and he's fell out with the manager or they found out he was not a nice person. Couldn't care less where he ends up as long as its no here.

joewarkfanclub Posted April 22 Report Share Posted April 22 He will probably end up at Dundee if they survive the drop and they are in the market for a centre half. He wont want to have to re-locate back in the central belt when he is from up that way. He probably IS a better centre half than we have at the moment, but his best years are behind him and not the kind of signing we need to be making. Younger, with a sell on value is our demographic.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJC Posted April 23 Report Share Posted April 23 3 hours ago, Toxteth O'Grady said: Louis Moult also leaving Tannadice. No doubt there will be the usual clamour from the usual suspects in our support for us to sign him again. Those same suspects who were happy to see us mugged off by us signing McFadden the second and third time and some of them would probably be happy enough if we offered McFadden a three year deal tomorrow. But absolutely under no circumstances should we be going anywhere near Louis Moult this summer. He’s had his time with us and it’s been and gone. It’s in the past so let’s leave it there and enjoy the memories. I wouldn’t be surprised if he ends up at St.Mirren with Robinson mind you. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's better than anything we have and normally I'm dead against the charity service we offer to former players and yes the pull for Moult is strong because of the feeling he has for the club and vice versa. That said he's one Id take a chance on and add as a squad player, he IS BETTER than what we have , he would not cost a fortune. A one year deal as a squad player is no great risk. Christ we paid £250,000 for AP and I'm still yet to be convinced about him or the fact whether he will actually play for us again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A one year deal for a squad player who we know will struggle to be fit for half a season is a waste of money. I hope Wimmer has better ideas than that. Moult was great when he was here. When we sold him, he was crocked and has struggled to play an entire season ever since. It's a shame for the guy, but we shouldn't be signing him any more than we should have re-signed van Veen. Bring him back as a coach to teach new signings how to shoot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I totally get that and those who wouldn't touch him and many of the reasons they cite are not unreasonable however when you think how much money we've spent for forwards who couldn't score in a barrel of fannies Id take a chance on him. Surprised United they are letting Gallagher go . Thought he did OK for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joewarkfanclub Posted April 23 Report Share Posted April 23 If we want to progress and finish higher than the teams above us in the league, I think we need to stop signing players they have let go. They are letting them go for a reason. Tony Watt should be a great example of that. Similarly with Halliday albeit he has done a job this season. There will always be exceptions to the rule, but generally speaking we should be looking at getting younger more dynamic players with a bit of pace (ability) with the prospect of developing them. We have enough old experienced legs in our squad as it is. Dont think we need any more. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The likelihood of us signing players better than what the top 5 and Hearts can afford is remote. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfc Posted April 23 Report Share Posted April 23 Moult was class for us but we shouldn't be looking to sign anyone that can only stay fit half the time.our squad this season has been a shambles and a big part of that has been signing known crocks and players with fitness issues.moult and gallacher are probably better than most of what we have but for me that just highlights how poor our recruitment has been of late. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thewelllfan Posted April 23 Report Share Posted April 23 Moult as much as I loved him the first time around is very injury prone. Is he better than what we have probably but if he can't stay fit he's of no real use. The only former player from Dundee Utd I'd want back is Campbell but even at that not sure he looks the same player he was when he left us only 26 mind you so wouldn't be against it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Completely agree Gallagher is 34 , we had him in his prime 5 years ago . Moult is now 32 and given the age of our squad he’d be a bit part player . The high press will require younger and fitter players . Wee Al fits the bill and I’m sure would be more than good enough . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wellfan Posted April 23 Report Share Posted April 23 I’m not suggesting we should sign Moult again, as I agree with many of the comments above. However, a blind drunk Louis Moult would likely offer more next season than our recent marquee signing ever will. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
