David Goodwillie

Tom Mc EFC · May 15, 2011

Don't know if anyone has mentioned him here before, but I think he'd be worth a go.
22 years young, and has 18 goals this season for Dundee Utd.

Here is one of his good goals:

Thoughts?:huh:

Will Dundee exchange him for a new home kit and some cones for training???

If not we've got no chance.

Everton do make players great though so expect him to sign for Madrid in 3 years..

You have to understand that the standard of Scottish football is probably not even on a par with the Championship, I'm always hesitant of taking players from there sadly now.

I know, but if we could get him cheaply I'd take the risk

Two words.

James Mcfadden.

99.8% of Scottish players are championship or league 1 standard. I can't think of any belters in the last 5 years. Darren Fletcher is the only great player (and thats pushing it).

Charlie Adam is fair good?

He's not bad aye, not nearly as good as David Vaughan makes him look though by sweeping up his mistakes e.g. misplaced passes.

He'd be one of the 0.2% mate

Kris Boyd is a classic example of the standard of the SPL.

I see!
Ok I give up. Bad call!

Stephen Fletcher and Scott Brown complete the 0.2%. All the others are gash.

I dont think this would be a bad signing if we got someone with a bit of experience to play along side him. sometimes it is good to take risks with players. But as u said the SPL is not the same as the prem.

Barry Ferguson is another example of someone who looked a cut above up north but...

All the same, It's probably better standard than the Irish or A-League and No-one could deny that Coleman and Cahill have been good signings. As in the case of those two the expectations will depend on the price

Scott Brown is horrendous.

Apart from that, as Dundee United are my team up here I've seen quite a lot of Goodwillie. An idiot off the park but has the potential top be a top EPL striker. Fast, deceptively strong, good eye for goal. Just needs to work on his composure.
