Scott129 Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 Did nobody watch last season? We'll play 442 and use Bryson as a winger, except when things get tight and we'll play 451. Who's playing up front then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TopRam Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 Yeah, i'm not impressed at all by what his agent said...basically encouraging other clubs to make an offer. Doubt Nige and Sam will be too impressed either but they can't really say too much if they want Russell enough. Just hope other clubs don't come in!

North_Stand_Ram Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 Don't get to carried away. Clough said he's our number one STRIKER target. He might play Right Forward in an attacking three but he certainly won't be playing right mid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DcFc Dyycheee Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 The former Scotland Under-21 forward is due at Pride Park on Monday for a medical after agreeing terms with the Championship side. United accepted a £750,000 bid for the 23-year-old on Wednesday but rumours of Celtic interest in the player persist. However, Thompson says he has yet to receive a formal offer from Parkhead but admits that with Derby deal still to be finalised, the Clydesdale Bank Premier League champions could yet swoop. He told Press Association Sport: "Until everything is signed and sealed, nothing is concluded - but we have agreed terms with Derby County. "I know their chief executive Sam Rush has spoken to Johnny's agent and they are pretty close to agreeing terms. But he has to go there for a medical on Monday, so you never know. Anything can happen in this game. "There has been a lot of speculation but there has been no other approaches to us." Asked if he had heard from Celtic, the United chief said: "Not a thing. I'm not particularly expecting anything from them either. But I will never be surprised in this game. "I don't know if this is all just speculation coming from the west (regarding Celtic's interest). But no other offers have come in. However, we have seen it before when someone is going somewhere for a medical and then there is an about turn and they go somewhere else. "Until it happens it is not complete." - http://www.heraldscotland.com/sport/football/dundee-uniteds-stephen-thompson-its-not-too-late-for-celtic-to-buy-johnny-russell.1370607092 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Srg Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 Love reading that Celtic forum. Somehow they've managed to type in a Scottish accent and they're getting really wound up that they might not win the league by October. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L_J_DCFC Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 Have you seen how the media have pounced on these comments. "Door left ajar for Celtic" "Celtic could make bid". It is like the media want Celtic to come in for him and leave us with nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Celtic would surely realise this too. They know the selling price and what to bid so surely of they were interested why would they risk any delay?

DcFc Dyycheee Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 I just can't get my head around if anyone wanted him, why wait until he's agreed personal terms and a medical set up for Monday to bid? That's why I don't think they'll be any other bids in for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why I don't think they'll be any other bids in for him. The only reason I can think of is, if they bid at the last minute and sort out personal terms, there's very little time for another team to come in and jump them. Kind of like bidding on Ebay when people bid at the very last second. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L_J_DCFC Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 Today was going fine until that interview came out.

CornwallRam Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 Who's playing up front then? Ward will play wide left with Russell playing just off either Sammon or Martin. As Martin played every game towards the end of last season and Sammon was dropped for a couple (? or maybe one), I'd say that Martin is currently ahead of Sammon. However, that could easily change during pre-season. I reckon our first game line up will be ---------------------Grant------------------- Freeman---Keogh--Buxton---Forsyth Bryson---Hendrick---Hughes---Ward ---------------------Russell----------------- ----------------------Martin------------------ Legzdins Gjokaj Hoganson Davies Coutts Jacobs Sammon Brafyord sold, no takers for Leggy and a young centre-half coming in after a few weeks on loan from a PL team to tide us over until Barker or O'Brien return.
