Leicester Ram Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 Ward and Jacobs? What we need is to actually PLAY a winger! Our RM options are Coutts and Bavies. Mackay-Steven would add another option and finally give Coutts some bloody competition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChaddesdenRam Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 Dundee United manager Jackie McNamara is hoping he can hang on to the services of Gary Mackay-Steven. The 22-year-old winger has been attracting interest from England, with Blackburn Rovers and Leeds United said to be keen on taking him to the Championship. Mackay-Steven is, however, tied to a contract at Tannadice until 2015. McNamara acknowledges that every player has his price, and that a sizeable bid could force his hand, but for now he is looking ahead with Mackay-Steven very much part of his plans. He said: "It's part and parcel (given the) player's ability. "Johnny Russell left there going into his last year, which we had to do. We couldn't afford not to. That's the nature of the business. The club has a selling point if players aren't going to sign new contracts. "Fortunately Gary has two years to go so it puts us in a stronger position. "Speculation means he is doing things properly and doing well, so long may it continue." McNamara has been giving more attention to additions than departures of late and has hinted that the return of Mark Wilson to Tannadice may not be the last piece of transfer business he completes before the summer window closes. He added: "I never say yes or no. Things change. "Before Mark came in, we thought that was us with the transfers, but the opportunity came in. Whether that's the last, we'll wait and see when the window shuts." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leicester Ram Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 Mackay-Steven is a left sided player He can play on both wings, and would give us the option of a left footed winger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YorkshireRam Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 He can play on both wings, and would give us the option of a left footed winger. I personally think he would be a great signing, pacey and got a good cross as well. He would link up well with Russell too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derbydave96 Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 In the evening telegraph Blackburn may make Mackay-Steven move By LIAM KENNEDY, 22 August 2013 9.00am. Updated: 11.00am. Gary MacKay-Steven in action for Dundee United. SNS Blackburn Rovers are considering a £500,000 bid for Dundee United winger Gary Mackay-Steven. The Tele understands Rovers have been keeping a keen eye on the 23-year-old, who made the bench for Scotland’s 3-2 defeat at Wembley last week. And with the transfer window set to slam shut in just 10 days, the Ewood Park outfit could be set to test the Tangerines resolve with an offer for their prized asset. United, although not willing sellers, could be tempted to accept any bid for wing wizard Mackay-Steven, as his contract is set to run out next summer. The dilemma faced by Stephen Thompson and the United hierarchy is a simple one — cash in like they did with Johnny Russell, or wait and risk watching GMS walk the same road as Willo Flood and Jon Daly. Blackburn are believed to be keen to talk to United, but are not thought to want to pay any more than £500,000. Hopes are high at Ewood that some kind of deal can be done. Rovers believe they sit in a decent bargaining position, given the fact they came to an agreement with United over the loan of front man David Goodwillie. Manager Gary Bowyer was keen to sell Goodie and recoup some money for his transfer budget but the club relented to the wishes of the player in allowing him to depart on a temporary basis. Sources down south suggest Blackburn are hoping for some of the same goodwill from the SPFL Premier League side. Elsewhere, United chiefs are expected at the Court of Arbitration for Sport in Lausanne tomorrow, when a decision is set to be made on the fee owed for former striker Damian Casalinuovo. FIFA ruled that United should pay Velez Sarsfield 400,000 Euros in compensation for the switch which happened back in 2009. That figure was subsequently reduced to 230,000 Euros, however United have contested that claiming Casalinuovo was a free agent. The Tangerines U/20s ran out 3-0 winners over Partick thanks to a brace from first-team striker Nadir Ciftci and one from fellow new boy Kudus Oyenuga.

Scott129 Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 He can play on both wings, and would give us the option of a left footed winger. Whilst Fifa may say that, I don't think he's ever actually started a game at RW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChaddesdenRam Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 If we can offload Bailey, Tyson and Oconnor then we can go in for this guy if they are bidding 500k. Would link up perfectly with Russell of course and loves to run at his player and take them on, which I would love to see Coutts do more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
