Another 'promising prospect'?

According to Soccerbase he is 5' 8". According to the BBC club page he is 5' 10". Let's go with the BBC! :lol:

Where did you hear this mate?


Have heard good things about him from a Jock mate. They reckon he got a touch of arrogance about him in a good way.

I just hope he is fast as f**k!

But once again I ask Malky where are the wingers and targetman we have been woefully lacking for a year now?! :?
Yeah I know be patient but that is wearing thin! especially after his end of window statement the other day...Look where dithering got us in January!

Don't forget we have Harris who may be the answer on one wing.

Yeah I am excited to see Harris this season but we can't put all our hopes on the lad we need more pace and options out wide

14 goals in 42 appearances last season for Dundee. Not bad.

A better goalscoring record than Ross McCormack when he was up in the SPL with Motherwell, actually.

Agreed. If the unlikely happens and we get Bellers we would then also have Conway, Harris and Cowie who can do a job. Do you think that would cover it?

Nothing on the official Dundee Utd website or on the Dundee United Fans Forum.

He could play on the wing :?:

Re: LATEST TRANSFER RUMOUR: Another Scot?

Sun Jul 08, 2012 1:42 pm

Looked to be on fire for Scotland u19's, scored 8 goals in 10 games. :shock: :ayatollah:

He spent most of last season injured. Didn't play much at all......

I have been trying to sign him on my Fifa 12 career mode for ages so this is a coincidence. If he's half as good in real life as he is on Fifa he will be a good signing. His pace and acceleration eventually go up to 99 on Fifa, so hopefully he will be really quick and he has a really powerful header too, as demonstrated here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f7KQlwCOgog

Bothroyd couldn't score a header like that. Don't let his goals per games stat put you off either as he plays attacking midfield also, so he doesn't seem an out and out striker. We really lack players who can make bursting runs into the box from midfield and get on the end of crosses, Russell has shown he can do this with his header against Rangers. I admit I haven't seen him play properly mind, so apart from how good he is rated on Fifa and that goal, I don't know much about him, but he seems highly rated with lots of potential. :ayatollah:

Yes, he had 37 league games, but I didn't state that he made 42 league appearances... I simply said 42 appearances. That includes cup games. ;)

Calm down. 8-)

Just what I read on a site about him earlier? Chill out.

I don't know f all about him.

However PTB did mention he's been out injured too....

My comment wasn't aimed at what you said. You were absolutely correct. Merlin stated he was injured all season which seemed a bit strange considering he'd played 42 games!
