joewarkfanclub Posted August 15, 2022 Report Share Posted August 15, 2022 2 players left our squad that season out of contract. One was Declan Gallagher. The other was Alan Campbell. You work it out Declan........ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haggischomper Posted August 16, 2022 Report Share Posted August 16, 2022 Not got the slightest interest in seeing TW in a Motherwell top again. Never was his greatest fan to start with, always said he had a great knack of either flicking the ball just past the post or directly at the keeper and hit a purple patch with us but I do agree that he gave his all, tracked back, was good at winning a foul and taking the pressure off.

pretzel Posted August 16, 2022 Report Share Posted August 16, 2022 18 hours ago, ropy said: His contract was renegotiated from the end of May to the end of June so that we got the Euro money and he got to leave for Aberdeen and not have to stay for the extra year that his appearances had triggered. I'm sure I had read that the way the cash rewards worked for player call ups for major tournaments worked dependant on the sides the players had served within the last 12 months or so. If he had left at the end of August almost a year before the tournament we would get a nominal fee or come January then it would be half, well that was my understanding at least. That would have been a kick in the stones to see Gallagher make his mark with Scotland for us and play his part in getting to a major tourney for the first time in over 20 years and not even kick a ball for Aberdeen but they get a few hundred grand.

DU forum contains a lot of chat about him having 'done nothing' since he arrived, looks like he's towing a caravan and is causing unrest in the dressing room.

Robinson seems to have been the only gaffer in recent times that found a way to get him to knuckle down and produce goals. Outside of that, the Dundee Utd experience seems pretty standard. It's also why I wouldn't be surprised to see him end up in Paisley. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His improvement in fitness happened 6 months after Robinson left. I would guess it was more down to entering the final 12 months of his contract than either manager.

When he came in at first he looked like a guy who hadn't played much football. In 20-21 he was pretty average. When he came back after that summer he looked a lot stronger and leaner.

Coatsy Posted August 18, 2022 Report Share Posted August 18, 2022 I said when he left we had seen the best of him, too many on here lost it when he left he's a mercenary you only need to look at the number of clubs he has had 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree. He did a lot of donkey work up front and worked well in Robinson's set up. He's just not a natural goal-scorer and in his later days with us he had obviously lost some confidence in his shooting and tended to drift out of scoring positions rather than gambling to get in them. His best ever season is 8 league goals at Doncaster, but he can be a good man to play off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steelboy Posted August 20, 2022 Report Share Posted August 20, 2022 Jake Hastie got an assist for Hartlepool in the early kick off against Bradford. Hopefully he screws the nut now he's off the Rangers gravy train. Euan Murray is down there as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It speaks volumes of the state the Dundee untd defence is in just now if Curtis Main can score two against them . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
