eddie Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 I dont care how $hite his goal scoring record is. He'll never become my No1 target over Sammon. Sammon is probably a better player than theo. But at lest Theo has a go at goal every now and then. Theo would get the odd goal, simply by having more efforts on goal, and being at the right place at the right time. I just have no time for a Forward who doesnt want to score/is afraid to try/looks for support and wants to lay it off for someone else despite being in a clear goal scoring suituation himself. If Russell is a goal scorer then he'll never be abused like Sammon is. I like my CFs to have already grown a pair! A Derby fan who has a 'number one target' - and that 'number one target' is a Derby player? Try getting behind the bloody team now and again - ALL of them.

eddie Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 Only the agreement of personal terms was completed after that article. It mentions a bid accepted. And I don't see how that would affect Celtic monitoring the situation, especially as he hasn't signed yet. For the record, I still think we'll get him. Dundee United's chairman today said that they had received no bid from Celtic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The date was January 11 2009 and the match was a Scottish Cup tie against East Stirling, played up the road at Ochilview, the home of Shire’s near neighbours Stenhousemuir, because their own Firs Park was under repair. The result was routine enough — a 4-0 victory for the Tangerines against the club widely regarded as the worst in Scotland at the time. The scoreline may have been expected but a second-half penalty scored by the aforementioned 18-year-old was to prove significant. For the young player in question was Johnny Russell, who is now on the verge of heading to the bright lights of England and the Championship with Derby County. Wherever he finally signs, he is getting the move he deserves now and with it a big boost in earnings but Russell can at least look back at his humble beginnings and say he has worked for it. The cup tie against Shire immediately followed his return from a loanspell at Forfar Athletic, with then United boss Craig Levein deciding to give his talented teenager a grounding in the lower leagues. Despite breaking into the Tannadice first team at such a tender age, Levein subsequently decided that Russell would benefit from another loan, this time a hugely successful spell at Raith Rovers in Division One. The apprenticeship duly served, Russell gradually became a regular pick at SPL level and learned all the time from Levein, Peter Houston and latterly Jackie McNamara. It is a refreshingly traditional — some would even say old school — way for a player to come to prominence and now he is absolutely ready to step up to the next level.Derby County appear to be the favourites to secure his signature and for some younger United supporters, used to watching wall-to-wall Premiership games on TV, a move to the Rams may not sound too exciting. Older fans will recall Brian Clough and the league title wins of the 1970s but in general we often make the mistake on this side of the border of underestimating the size and tradition of clubs like County. For example, last season they attracted an average attendance of over 23,000. They are a club that can justifiably harbour ambitions of making it to the top flight and wouldn’t it be nice to see Russell trotting out at Old Trafford and the Etihad Stadium just a few short years after scoring that all-important penalty at the rather more modest Ochilview?

North_Stand_Ram Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 ......against a 4th tier scottish club? Its like scoring against Alfreton! That was the season before they went bust. So they were in the CL that year... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ambitious Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 and the other variables... like? Both would be rated outside of their respective clubs exactly the same - if anything there is more interest in Russell, so therefore more competition. Brayford I think would only be open to a premier league move, and who knows if he could cut it? He isn't anything close to proven at that standard.

North_Stand_Ram Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 Wouldn't be bad to sign a player who was subject to bids from a side who finished above Inter in Serie A, as well as a side who got to the knock out stages of the European cup. Also Everton made an enquiry! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DcFc Dyycheee Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 Just seen the Daily Record back page, nothing about Russell anywhere. Surprisingly. Thought they might have said they found Russell and Lennon in bed together and he's all set for Celtic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
