ClydebankBearWATP 877 Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 People saying that DU scouting network wouldn't be good enough for us at least they have one and if they came here they instantly have a bigger range and budget and would be looking at better players, but we need an overhaul of the youth set up for it all to be a success Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ClydebankBearWATP 877 Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 If Ally had Gauld in his team he would end up sweeper with JigReally sad thing here, really good chance he would be seen as too small and not strong enough by that dick sinclair. He is a cancer on our youth system Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluepeter9 5,167 Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 Exactly the point. A well functioning team from United, with significantly better resources (Ally his obviously depends on us getting some competency and stability at board level and around the club), would theoretically do even better than the very good job they currently do at United, and that would be ideal for us. The comparison in 'who's sold more guys to the premiership is irrelevant. We had guys move to premiership clubs because in the main, we paid vast (relatively) fees for them in the first placeNot convinced we had a particularly good setup before, I think we prospered because of the obvious lure for young Scottish players to play at Rangers. The current crop at United are exactly what our fanbase was screaming for when we went down to the bottom. Real talented young players. And that's after moving on Scott Allan and Johnny Russell recently.My point is if DU were so good them they would be more successful than they are - St Mirren, Hamilton and Hibs have all been lauded for there youth set ups in the past - but we IMHO can do better than all of them Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
